These trusts consist of: (i) Qichao Hu 2021 Irrevocable Trust U/A/D March 31, 2021; (ii) Qichao Hu Family Delaware Trust U/A/D March 31, 2021; and (iii) Qichao Hu 2021 Annuity Trust March 31, 2021 (collectively, the “Trusts”), each owning 3,988,144 shares of Class B Common Stock.

The Earn Out-Shares and Founder Earn-Out Shares were issued upon the closing of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), dated July 12, 2021 and amended on September 20, 2021, by and among Ivanhoe Capital Acquisition Corp. (following the Closing, renamed “SES AI Corporation” and referred to herein as the “Issuer”), Wormhole Merger Sub Pte. Ltd. and SES Holdings Pte. Ltd.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The Business Combination

On February 3, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Ivanhoe Capital Acquisition Corp. (“Ivanhoe”) consummated its previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) with SES Holdings Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares (“Old SES”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Business Combination Agreement (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among Ivanhoe, Old SES, and Wormhole Amalgamation Sub Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares, and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ivanhoe (“Amalgamation Sub”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), (i) Ivanhoe migrated out of the Cayman Islands and domesticated as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) by way of continuation and deregistration under Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act and domestication under Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), (ii) Ivanhoe changed its name to “SES AI Corporation” (the “Issuer”), and (iii) Amalgamation Sub merged with and into Old SES, with Old SES as the surviving company (the “Amalgamation”) (the time that the Amalgamation became effective is referred to as the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Amalgamation, Old SES became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer.

In connection with the Domestication, which occurred on February 2, 2022, (i) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Ivanhoe (the “Ivanhoe Class A ordinary shares”) converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock, (ii) each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Ivanhoe (the “Ivanhoe Class B ordinary shares”), was converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer (the “Class B Common Stock” and collectively with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), and (iii) each issued and outstanding warrant to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Ivanhoe was automatically converted into a warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. In connection with the Closing, (i) each issued and outstanding unit of Ivanhoe that was not previously separated into the underlying Ivanhoe Class A ordinary shares and warrants of Ivanhoe prior to the Domestication was separated into its component share of Class A Common Stock and one-third of one warrant, each whole warrant representing the right to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of Class B Common Stock then outstanding was converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock.

In accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Effective Time, each ordinary share and each preferred share of Old SES issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Old SES Shares”), (other than the SES Restricted Shares (as defined below) and the Old SES Shares held by the Reporting Person, and certain entities affiliated with the Reporting Person (collectively, the “SES Founder Group”)) were cancelled and converted into shares of Class A Common Stock equal to approximately 5.9327788641 (the “Exchange Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole number. Each Old SES Share held by the SES Founder Group issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number. The shares of Class B Common Stock have the same economic rights as the shares of Class A Common Stock, but each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes, and each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote, in each case, on each matter submitted for a vote of the Issuer’s shareholders.

In addition to the consideration described above, the former shareholders, optionholders and holders of restricted shares of Old SES are entitled to receive an aggregate of 29,999,947 shares of the Issuer’s common stock (valued at $10.00 per share), which consists of (i) 23,691,182 shares of Class A Common Stock issued for the benefit of the former holders of Old SES common stock (the “Earn-Out Shares”), (ii) 2,308,969 shares of Class A restricted common stock (the “Earn-Out Restricted Shares”) received by the former holders of Old SES options and recipients of Old SES restricted share awards prior to the Closing and (iii) 3,999,796 shares of Class B Common Stock received by the SES Founder Group (as defined below) (“Founder Earn-Out Shares”). The Earn-Out Shares and the Founder Earn-Out Shares (collectively, the “Escrowed Earn-Out Shares”) were placed into escrow at the Closing and shall vest on the date that the closing price of the shares of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 during the period beginning on the date that is one year following the Closing and ending on the date that is five years following the Closing. The Earn-Out Restricted Shares are subject to vesting based on the same terms as the Earn-Out Shares and are also subject to forfeiture if such recipient’s service with the Issuer terminates prior to the vesting. During the Earn-Out Period, the holders of the Escrowed Earn-Out Shares and the Earn-Out Restrictive Shares are entitled to exercise the voting rights carried by each Escrowed Earn-Out Share and Earn-Out Restricted Share and are entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions made in respect thereof.

In connection with the Amalgamation, each Old SES share that was subject to any vesting, forfeiture, repurchase or other lapse restriction according to the equity incentive plans of Old SES or otherwise (the “SES Restricted Shares”) that was issued, outstanding and subject to restrictions (including vesting) immediately prior to the Effective Time was assumed by the Issuer and converted into a number of shares of restricted Class A Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares) of (A) the total number of shares of Old SES ordinary shares subject to such SES Restricted Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio. The terms of the SES Restricted Shares otherwise remain unchanged (including with respect to applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture conditions), subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

In addition, each Old SES option that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) (the “SES Options”) was assumed by the Issuer and converted into an option to acquire Class A Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price per share (as further noted below), with the number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to each option determined by multiplying the number of such Old SES Shares subject to the corresponding SES Option by the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. The per share exercise price for the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Issuer options was determined by dividing the per share exercise price for the SES Shares subject to the SES Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent.

At the Closing, the Reporting Person (i) directly received (a) 27,917,023 shares of Class B Common Stock (convertible into the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock), (b) 9,182 Earn-Out Shares and (c) 2,799,859 Founder Earn-Out Shares, and (ii) indirectly received, through the Trusts, (a) 11,964,432 shares of Class B Common Stock and (b) 1,199,931 Founder Earn-Out Shares. Additionally, the Reporting Person directly received options to receive 91,554 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for SES Options, all of which are currently exercisable. For more information on these equity securities, see Item 6 of this Schedule 13D.

The total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Closing was approximately 303,989,794. The total number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Closing was approximately 43,881,251.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The information contained in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.

As the majority stockholder of all outstanding Common Stock (including as the sole holder of Class B Common Stock) and the chairman of the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”), the Reporting Person may have controlling or otherwise significant influence under the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) or otherwise over various matters with respect to his investment in the Issuer. These may include, among other things: (i) the election of the members of the Board; (ii) the removal of members from the Board, including due to the required standard for removal of a simple majority of voting power until the Reporting Person ceases to own 50% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (which standard will increase to two-thirds of total voting power thereafter); (iii) amendments to the Certificate or actions to annul such amendments; (iv) amendments to the Issuer’s bylaws or actions to annul such amendments, including due to the required standard for amendment of a simple majority of voting power until the Reporting Person ceases to own 50% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (which standard will increase to two-thirds of total voting power thereafter); (v) until the Reporting Person ceases to own at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the calling of a special general meeting of holders of Common Stock or the taking of action by written consent of such holders pursuant to the required vote; (vi) decisions of the Board, including with respect to additional issuances or repurchases of equity securities of the Issuer; (vii) the approval of any merger, amalgamation, sale of assets or other major corporate transaction; (viii) material modifications of the rights of the holders of the Common Stock; (ix) material changes to the Issuer’s dividend policy; and (x) other matters described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

In determining whether to carry out any of the above-mentioned actions, the Reporting Person may consider factors such as the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board, price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions.

In light of his responsibilities to the Issuer, the Reporting Person does not anticipate making any disclosures in connection with his participation in the transactions and activities of the Issuer separate and apart from relevant disclosures by the Issuer, unless otherwise required by Schedule 13D. Except as described herein, the Reporting Person does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Registration Rights Agreement

At Closing, the Issuer, Ivanhoe’s sponsor (“Sponsor”) and certain other holders of the Issuer, including the Reporting Person, entered into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement,” which will supersede the registration and shareholder rights agreement between Ivanhoe and its initial shareholders), pursuant to which, among other things, the parties thereto were granted certain customary registration rights, demand rights and piggyback rights with respect to their respective shares of Class A common stock and any other equity securities of the Issuer. The Registration Rights Agreement also prohibits the transfer (subject to limited exceptions) of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by the Sponsor and the other holders party to the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case for a period of 180 days following the Closing. The material terms of the Registration Rights Agreement are as follows:

•

Registration rights. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing, the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to submit or file a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act and use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after the initial filing thereof, but in no event later than the earlier of (a) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies Parent that it will “review” the registration statement and (b) the tenth (10th) business day after the date Parent is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

•

Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. From time to time when an effective shelf registration statement is on file with the SEC, parties to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement may request to sell all or any portion of their registrable securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to such registration statement; provided that (a) a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding number of registrable securities advises the Issuer that the offering shall be in the form of an underwritten offering, and (b) the offering will propose to be sold registrable securities with a total offering price of at least $50 million.

•

Piggyback registration rights. At any time after the Closing Date, if the Issuer proposes to file a registration statement to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act or to conduct a public offering for its own account or for the account of any other person, subject to certain exceptions, the holders are entitled to include their registrable securities in such registration statement.

•

Expenses and indemnification. The registration expenses of all registrations shall be borne by the Issuer. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, under which the Issuer is obligated to indemnify the holders of its registrable securities in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to the Issuer, and the holders of its registrable securities are obligated to indemnify the Issuer for material misstatements or omissions attributable to them.

•

Registrable securities. Securities of the Issuer shall cease to be registrable securities upon the earliest to occur of: (A) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such securities shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with such registration statement by the applicable holder; (B) such securities shall have been otherwise transferred (other than to a permitted transferee), (C) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding; (D) such securities have been sold without registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor rules promulgated under the Securities Act and (E) such securities have been sold to, or through, a broker, dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or other public securities transaction.

•

Lock-up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each of the holders will not transfer any securities of the Issuer for the period ending on the earlier of (a) 180 days after the Closing, subject to certain customary exceptions.

This summary is qualified by the actual terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 7.4 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
