Item 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of September 23, 2020 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), among Switchback Energy Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Switchback”), Lightning Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Switchback (“Merger Sub”), and ChargePoint, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ChargePoint”), Merger Sub merged with and into ChargePoint (the “Merger”), with ChargePoint surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Switchback (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination was effective February 26, 2021 (the “Effective Time”).

Prior to the Business Combination, Q-GRG directly held (i) 17,624,251 shares of Chargepoint’s Series H Preferred Stock and 5,874,750 Warrants to acquire shares of legacy Chargepoint common stock (“Legacy common stock”), which it had acquired in November 2018 for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000.18, (ii) 5,287,275 shares of Chargepoint’s Series H-1 Preferred Stock and 5,287,275 Warrants to acquire shares of Legacy common stock, which it had acquired in July 2020 for an aggregate purchase price of $29,999,998.35, and (iii) 242,029 shares of Chargepoint’s Series H-1 Preferred Stock that had been paid in kind to Q-GRG through February 26, 2021. In connection with the conversion as provided in the Business Combination Agreement, each share of ChargePoint’s Series H Preferred Stock and Series H-1 Preferred stock automatically converted into shares of Legacy common stock.

In connection with the Business Combination, (i) each share outstanding of Legacy common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.9966 of one share of Common Stock and the contingent right to receive certain Earnout Shares (as defined below) and (ii) warrants to purchase Legacy common stock were converted into Warrants and the contingent right to receive certain Earnout Shares. “Earnout Shares” are to the up to 27,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock that Switchback may issue to eligible shareholders during the Earnout Period (defined below).

Specifically, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Q-GRG acquired (i) 23,074,833 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 11,124,073 Warrants and (iii) the contingent right to receive 3,388,533 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events affecting the Common Stock, if certain triggering events (“Earnout Triggering Events”) are achieved during the five-year period following the closing of the Business Combination (“Earnout Period”). Specifically, if, during the Earnout Period, there is a change of control pursuant to which Switchback or its stockholders have the right to receive consideration implying a value per share of Common Stock (as agreed in good faith by NGP Switchback, LLC, Switchback’s sponsor, and the Switchback board of directors) of:

● less than $15.00, then no Earnout Shares will be issuable;

● greater than or equal to $15.00 but less than $20.00, then, (a) immediately prior to such change of control, Switchback will issue 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the eligible shareholders (in accordance with their respective pro rata shares) and (b) no further Earnout Shares will be issuable;

● greater than or equal to $20.00 but less than $30.00, then, (a) immediately prior to such change of control, Switchback will issue 18,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the eligible shareholders (in accordance with their respective pro rata shares) and (b) no further Earnout Shares will be issuable; or

● greater than or equal to $30.00, then, (a) immediately prior to such change of control, Switchback will issue 27,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the eligible shareholders (in accordance with their respective pro rata shares) and (b) no further Earnout Shares will be issuable.

Such Earnout Shares are excluded from the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership as reported herein because the Reporting Persons do not currently have the right to acquire the shares of Common Stock represented by the Earnout Shares.

Item 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The response to Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.

Prior to the Business Combination, Jeffrey Harris, a Venture Partner of Quantum Energy Partners and affiliated director of the Reporting Persons, served as a member of ChargePoint’s board of directors since December 2018. Upon closing of the Business Combination, Mr. Harris became a member of the Issuer’s board of directors.

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Issuer and the holders of registration rights in Switchback and ChargePoint (the “Holders”), including Q-GRG, entered into an amended and restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer agreed to file a prospectus, which the Issuer agreed to have become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, covering the resale of certain securities held by or issuable to the Holders. In certain circumstances, the Holders can demand up to four underwritten offerings and will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights. The forgoing description of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit B to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.

In addition, also in connection with the Business Combination, certain stockholders of the Issuer, including Q-GRG, entered into agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”) pursuant to which they agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to effect any (a) direct or indirect sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer, or entry into any agreement with respect to any sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer, with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by them immediately after the closing of the Business Combination, including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock held by them immediately following the closing of the Business Combination or (b) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a), in each case, for six months after the closing of the Business Combination. The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Lock-Up Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit C to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Reporting Persons expect to review from time to time their investment in the Issuer and may, depending on the market and other conditions and subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) purchase additional shares of Common Stock, options or related derivatives in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; (ii) sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock, options or related derivatives now beneficially owned or hereafter acquired by them; and (iii) engage in other proposals as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate under the circumstances, including plans or proposals which may relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may also engage in communications with, among others, other members of the Board, the Issuer’s management, other shareholders and other potential investors, potential strategic partners, financial advisors and other industry participants, regarding such matters.

Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time and subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
