EVgo’s SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Such forward-looking statements are based on EVgo’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting EVgo will be those that the Company has anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond EVgo’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

SUMMARY OF THE PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This summary contains basic information about EVgo and the offering. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in EVgo’s securities. You should read and carefully consider this entire prospectus supplement before making an investment decision, especially the information presented under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and EVgo’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.
EVgo Inc.
EVgo is a leader in charging solutions, building and operating the infrastructure and tools needed to expedite the mass adoption of electric vehicles for individual drivers, rideshare and commercial fleets, and businesses. Since 2019 EVgo has purchased renewable energy certificates to match the electricity that powers its network. As one of the nation’s largest public fast charging networks, EVgo’s owned and operated charging network includes approximately 900 fast charging locations, 60 metropolitan areas and 30 states. EVgo continues to add more DC fast charging locations through EVgo eXtend, its white label service offering. EVgo is accelerating transportation electrification through partnerships with automakers; fleet and rideshare operators; retail hosts such as grocery stores, shopping centers and gas stations; policy leaders; and other organizations. With a rapidly growing network, robust software products and innovative offerings for drivers and partners including EVgo Optima, EVgo Inside, EVgo Rewards, and Autocharge+, EVgo enables a world-class charging experience where drivers live, work, travel and play.
EVgo has a flexible business model that derives value through multiple revenue streams. The foundation of the Company’s business is the development and operation of EV charging sites through which it dispenses electricity to EVs driven by individuals, commercial drivers and fleet operators. EVgo is prioritizing the build out of ultra-fast chargers, a key market segment that is expected to grow faster than the overall EV charging market. To take advantage of the expected rapid growth in the number of EVs on the road in the United States, the Company is rapidly expanding its network of charging stations, focusing on development of locations with favorable traffic, utilization and financial return characteristics. The Company’s proprietary technology and analytical tools, along with its extensive commercial partnerships with OEMs, fleets and governments, provide a strong competitive edge as it selects, designs and develops new charging stations. Furthermore, EVgo’s robust underwriting standards require its portfolio to meet or exceed a pre-defined internal rate of return before project approval.
EVgo’s partnerships and collaboration with a wide range of automotive OEMs, rideshare operators and other channel partners are designed to incentivize and accelerate EV adoption across the United States. Through these partnerships, EVgo’s network has powered more than 400 million electric miles as of December 31, 2022. Total miles delivered is equal to the number of kilowatt hours (“kWh”) EVgo has dispensed multiplied by the number of miles the average EV receives from a single kWh (“vehicle efficiency”). The weighted average vehicle efficiency from all vehicles compatible with the EVgo network in operation at the end of each year is based on 2022 data from Experian and the U.S. Department of Energy. The weighted average vehicle efficiency is applied to the EVgo kWh dispensed in the associated period.
EVgo also serves the rapidly growing EV fleet segment. The Company develops and deploys fleet-charging solutions for light-, medium- and heavy-duty EV fleets. Reliable and flexible charging is essential to fleet electrification. EVgo is developing, building, operating and servicing charging assets for fleets at their own depot locations, at off-site charging hubs that EVgo has secured, or via EVgo’s expansive public network. In addition, EVgo is able to integrate proprietary EVgo Optima software to connect to a fleet’s logistics platform. To date, fleet contracts have often included guaranteed payment streams in exchange for guaranteed network access, which benefits both EVgo and a fleet operator. Whether EVgo retains ownership of the charging infrastructure itself depends on the terms and conditions of the commercial arrangement with the particular fleet customer.
To accelerate its network expansion and increase customer reach, EVgo also offers a white label solution — EVgo eXtend — that helps partners invest in and build EV charging stations for their customers. Through EVgo eXtend, EVgo leverages its decade-plus track record of operational experience and site design, helping businesses develop charging assets that are serviced through EVgo’s national network (and
 
S-1

 
often co-branded). EVgo eXtend generates revenue from the site development, equipment delivery, engineering and construction of the stations, as well as ongoing revenue through operations, networking and maintenance of those sites.
In addition to the provision of EV charging infrastructure, EVgo is continuing to develop and deploy innovative software-based, value-added services to drivers and partners. These offerings enhance the customer experience across EVgo’s business segments by layering proprietary technology functionality on top of its leading charging network, with the intention of widening EVgo’s competitive advantage and providing accretive revenue streams. To date, EVgo has developed and deployed time-of-use per kWh pricing across its California public network, expanded the EVgo Reservations offering to more metropolitan markets across the United States, launched multiple new subscription plans nationwide (EVgo Basic and EVgo PlusMAX) and extended its EVgo Rewards driver loyalty program. EVgo Advantage is EVgo’s proprietary technology that delivers on-the-spot promotions from local businesses to EV drivers when they plug-in and start charging. In 2022 EVgo closed two additional EVgo Advantage partnerships which now cover more than 20 EVgo locations.
EVgo also has a customizable mobile app to make charging simple for EV drivers, delivering a user experience that makes switching to an EV more inviting. To improve the customer charging experience, in 2022 EVgo developed and launched Autocharge+, which allows customers to use their EV as both identification and authentication of a charging event by allowing customers to register eligible EVs with EVgo. Customers who enable this feature can simply drive up to an EVgo station, plug in their EV, and start charging. Since launch there has been a steady increase in the percentage of charging sessions initiated via Autocharge+. Further, this capability is supported by Teslas using the newly-available CCS1 adaptor, enabling EVgo to offer drivers of many Tesla models a similar experience to their native Tesla charging network upon registering their EVs with EVgo. EVgo also extended EVgo’s ability to attract, enroll, and retain customers through the development of EVgo Inside, which provides a suite of application programming interfaces (“APIs”) that enable a third party to embed the complete EVgo experience into their branded applications and launched this capability with GM, Toyota, and Lyft.
EVgo also owns PlugShare, which is the leading global platform for EV drivers to locate and provide information relating to charging stations and provide feedback on their charging experiences, while leveraging tools like Pay with PlugShare and EV Trip Planner. Beyond its services to EV drivers, PlugShare delivers data to automakers and other customers through the PlugShare API and manages the world’s largest EV driver research panel through PlugInsights. PlugShare also delivers advertising impressions globally on behalf of its advertising customers. In 2022 EVgo expanded Pay with PlugShare to include a portion of the EVgo network, launched a PlugShare Premium service, and increased advertising inventory and capabilities across the platform.
Recent Developments
2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
EVgo’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) will be held on May 17, 2023. At the Annual Meeting, as further described in EVgo’s proxy statement in connection therewith, stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 22, 2023 will be asked, among other things, to (1) vote to elect three nominees for Class II director, of whom two nominees, Paul Segal and Jonathan Seelig, are not incumbent members of our board of directors, and (2) vote to approve an amendment to EVgo’s certificate of incorporation that would eliminate the personal liability of EVgo’s officers for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer, except to the extent such an exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
If the charter amendment proposal is approved and adopted by EVgo’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting, EVgo intends to file an amended charter reflecting such changes with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware promptly following the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, which may occur prior to the underwriters’ delivery of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in EVgo’s securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and incorporated by reference to EVgo’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus as updated by EVgo’s subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement before acquiring any such securities. EVgo’s business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not known to it or that it considers immaterial as of the date of this prospectus supplement. The trading price of EVgo’s securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. See “Incorporation by Reference.”
We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty the particular uses for the net proceeds we will receive from this offering. We will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, including any of the purposes described in “Use of Proceeds.” You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. Our board of directors and management may not apply the net proceeds or our existing cash in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering or our existing cash in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results. Pending the use of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to invest these net proceeds in investment-grade interest-bearing obligations, highly liquid cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, or direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States of America. These investments may not yield a favorable return.
Future sales of our Class A Common Stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, may depress our stock price.
We may sell shares of Class A Common Stock in the future. If we sell substantial amounts of our Class A Common Stock in the public market, or if the market perceives that such sales may occur, the market price of our Class A Common Stock could fall and it may become more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. We cannot predict the size of future issuances or sales of our Class A Common Stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock will have on the market price of our Class A Common Stock.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Class A Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by any investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Class A Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Class A Common Stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by any investors in this offering.
The market price of our Class A Common Stock may be volatile and adversely affected by market conditions affecting the stock markets in general, and purchasers of our Class A Common Stock could incur substantial losses.
Securities markets have from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations and such market conditions may, in turn, result in volatility in the level of, and fluctuations in, the market price of our Class A Common Stock, which may be unrelated or disproportionate to changes in our operating performance. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general market, economic and political conditions, such as recessions, tariffs or potential application thereof, loss of investor confidence or interest rate
 
S-5

 
changes, may negatively affect our business and adversely affect the market price of the Class A Common Stock. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could result in purchasers in this offering losing some or all of the value of their investment.
We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our Class A Common Stock, and any return to investors is expected to come, if at all, only from potential increases in the price of our Class A Common Stock.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock, and you should not rely on an investment in our Class A Common Stock to provide dividend income. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Class A Common Stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.
 
S-6

 
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, we will receive an aggregate of approximately $      million of net proceeds from this offering (or approximately $      million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full). We will not pay any commissions and the underwriters will not receive any discounts on the shares sold in this offering to LS Power. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes. This may include, among other things, additions to working capital, repayment or refinancing of any indebtedness or other corporate obligations, financing of capital expenditures and acquisitions and investment in existing and future projects. Pending the use of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to invest these net proceeds in investment-grade interest-bearing obligations, highly liquid cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, or direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States of America.
 
S-7

 
DIVIDEND POLICY
EVgo has not paid any cash dividends on the Class A Common Stock to date. The payment of cash dividends is subject to the discretion of EVgo’s board of directors and may be affected by various factors, including EVgo’s future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, share repurchase activity, current and future planned strategic growth initiatives, levels of indebtedness, and other considerations EVgo’s board of directors deem relevant.

HOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS (INCLUDING ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE CHANGES THERETO) TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER ANY OTHER TAX LAWS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.
U.S. Holder and Non-U.S. Holder Defined
A “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of Class A Common Stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more “United States persons” ​(within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has made a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
A “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of Class A Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual, corporation, estate or trust, in each case that is not a U.S. Holder.
If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of Class A Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership might depend upon the status of the partner or the partnership, upon the activities of the partnership and upon certain determinations made at the partnership or partner level. Accordingly, EVgo urges partners in partnerships (including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) considering the purchase of shares of Class A Common Stock to consult with their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income and other tax considerations of the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of Class A Common Stock by such partnership.
Considerations for U.S. Holders
This section applies to you if you are a U.S. Holder.
Tax Characterization of Distributions with Respect to Class A Common Stock
If EVgo pays distributions of cash or other property to U.S. Holders of shares of its Class A Common Stock, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from EVgo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, and will be treated as described under “— Considerations for U.S. Holders — Distributions Treated as Dividends.” Distributions in excess of EVgo’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in Class A Common Stock, that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in Class A Common Stock. Any remaining portion of the distribution will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described below under “— Considerations for U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of Class A Common Stock” below.
Distributions Treated as Dividends
Any portion of a distribution that is treated as a dividend paid to a U.S. Holder that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction
 
S-10

 
if the requisite holding period is satisfied, but may be subject to the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of the Code (which could cause a reduction in the tax basis of such corporate U.S. Holder’s shares of Class A Common Stock and increase the amount of gain or decrease the amount of loss recognized by such U.S. Holder in connection with a disposition of its shares). With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, any portion of a distribution that is treated as a dividend paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute a “qualified dividend” that will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate. If the applicable holding period requirements are not satisfied, a corporate U.S. Holder may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount, and a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be subject to tax on the dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential income tax rate that applies to qualified dividend income. U.S. Holders should consult with their tax advisors regarding the availability of the dividends received deduction (and the possible application of the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of the Code in their particular circumstances) or the lower preferential income tax rate for qualified dividend income, as the case may be, for any dividends paid with respect to Class A Common Stock.
Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of Class A Common Stock
Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of Class A Common Stock, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis with respect to its Class A Common Stock. Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder will be an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the relevant Class A Common Stock. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in Class A Common Stock generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital, as discussed above.
Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. If the one-year holding period is not satisfied, any gain on a sale or other taxable disposition of the Class A Common Stock would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Information reporting requirements generally will apply to distributions paid to a U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares of Class A Common Stock unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient and certifies to such exempt status. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability (if any) of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund generally may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules to them in their particular circumstances.
Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders
This section applies to you if you are a Non-U.S. Holder. The tax characterization of distributions with respect to, and sales or other taxable exchange of disposition of, Class A Common Stock described herein and the resultant tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders are generally similar to those for U.S. Holders, except as described below.
 
S-11

 
Tax Characterization of Distributions with Respect to Class A Common Stock
The determination of the extent to which a distribution will be treated as a dividend, return of capital or gain from the sale of stock is the same for Non-U.S. Holders as that described in “— Considerations for U.S. Holders — Tax Characterization of Distributions with Respect to Class A Common Stock.” To the extent a distribution constitutes gain from the sale of Class A Common Stock, see “— Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of Class A Common Stock” below, and to the extent such distribution constitutes a dividend, see “— Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders — Distributions Treated as Dividends.”
Distributions Treated as Dividends
Subject to the withholding requirements under FATCA (as defined below) and other than with respect to effectively connected dividends, each of which is discussed below, any distribution treated as a dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder on Class A Common Stock generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% of the gross amount of the distribution (unless an applicable income tax treaty provides for a lower rate). To receive the benefit of a reduced treaty rate, a Non-U.S. Holder must provide the applicable withholding agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form) certifying qualification for the reduced rate. In the case of any constructive dividend, it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to a Non-U.S. Holder by the applicable withholding agent, including cash distributions on other property or sale proceeds from warrants or other property subsequently paid or credited to such holder.
Any portion of a distribution that is treated as a dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, that is treated as attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States) generally will be taxed on a net income basis at the rates and in the manner generally applicable to United States persons. Such effectively connected dividends will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder satisfies certain certification requirements by providing the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI certifying eligibility for exemption. If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may also be subject to a branch profits tax (at a 30% rate or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits (as adjusted for certain items), which will include effectively connected dividends.
Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of Class A Common Stock
Subject to the discussion below under “— Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders — Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of Class A Common Stock, unless:

the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met;

such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is treated as attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States); or

shares of Class A Common Stock constitute United States real property interests by reason of EVgo’s status as a “United States real property holding corporation” ​(a “USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as a result, such gain is treated as effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States.
A Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the amount of such gain, which generally may be offset by U.S. source capital losses.
 
S-12

 
A Non-U.S. Holder whose gain is described in the second bullet point above or, subject to the exceptions described in the next paragraph, the third bullet point above, generally will be taxed on a net income basis at the rates and in the manner generally applicable to United States persons unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes whose gain is described in the second bullet point above, such gain would also be included in its effectively connected earnings and profits (as adjusted for certain items), which may be subject to a branch profits tax (at a 30% rate or such lower rate as provided under an applicable income tax treaty).
Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its United States real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. EVgo does not believe it currently is or will become a United States real property holding corporation; however, there can be no assurance in this regard. If EVgo were to become a USRPHC, as long as its Class A Common Stock is or continues to be “regularly traded on an established securities market” (within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury regulations, referred to herein as “regularly traded”), a Non-U.S. Holder that actually or constructively owns, or owned at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period, more than 5% of Class A Common Stock will be treated as disposing of a United States real property interest and will be taxable on gain realized on the disposition thereof as a result of EVgo’s status as a USRPHC. It is unclear how a Non-U.S. Holder’s ownership of warrants will affect the determination of whether such Non-U.S. Holder owns more than 5% of Class A Common Stock. EVgo can provide no assurance as to its future status as a USRPHC or as to whether its Class A Common Stock or warrants will be treated as regularly traded.
If EVgo were to become a USRPHC and its Class A Common Stock were not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market, a Non-U.S. Holder (regardless of the percentage of Class A Common Stock owned) would be treated as disposing of a United States real property interest and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a taxable disposition of Class A Common Stock (as described in the preceding paragraph), and a 15% withholding tax would apply to the gross proceeds from any such disposition.
Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences related to ownership in a USRPHC.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Any distributions paid to a Non-U.S. Holder must be reported annually to the IRS and to the Non-U.S. Holder. Copies of these information returns may be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established. Payments of dividends to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to backup withholding if the Non-U.S. Holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form).
Payments of the proceeds from a sale or other disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of Class A Common Stock effected by or through a U.S. office of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (at the applicable rate) unless the Non-U.S. Holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form) and certain other conditions are met. Information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to any payment of the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Class A Common Stock effected outside the United States by a non-U.S. office of a broker.
However, unless such broker has documentary evidence in its records that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption, information reporting will apply to a payment of the proceeds of the disposition of EVgo’s common stock effected outside the United States by such a broker if it has certain relationships within the United States.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability (if any) of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund generally may be obtained, provided that the required
 
S-13

 
information is timely furnished to the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules to them in their particular circumstances.
Additional Withholding Requirements Under FATCA
Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, and the U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder (“FATCA”), impose a 30% withholding tax on any dividends (including constructive dividends) on shares of Class A Common Stock and, subject to the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations discussed below, on proceeds from sales or other dispositions of shares of Class A Common Stock, if paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” ​(each as defined in the Code) (including, in some cases, when such foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity is acting as an intermediary), unless (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments, and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are non-U.S. entities with U.S. owners), (ii) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity certifies that it does not have any “substantial United States owners” ​(as defined in the Code) or provides the applicable withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial United States owners of the entity (in either case, generally on an IRS Form W-8BEN-E), or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules and provides appropriate documentation (such as an IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing these rules may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. While gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of shares of Class A Common Stock paid after January 1, 2019 would have originally been subject to withholding under FATCA, proposed U.S. Treasury regulations provide that such payments of gross proceeds do not constitute withholdable payments. Taxpayers may generally rely on these proposed U.S. Treasury regulations until they are revoked or final U.S. Treasury regulations are issued. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on an investment in Class A Common Stock.
HOLDERS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AND THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY OTHER TAX LAWS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE AND GIFT TAX LAWS AND ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS AND TAX TREATIES.

The Class A Common Stock is listed/quoted on the Nasdaq under the symbol “EVGO.”
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of Class A Common Stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Class A Common Stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of Class A Common Stock, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of Class A Common Stock than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of Class A Common Stock on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales may be “covered” shorts, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares referred to above, or may be “naked” shorts, which are short positions in excess of that amount. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase additional shares, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares in the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional shares. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Class A Common Stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares in the open market to cover the position.
The underwriters have advised EVgo that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Class A Common Stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters purchase Class A Common Stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.
These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the Class A Common Stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Class A Common Stock, and, as a result, the price of the Class A Common Stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
In addition, in connection with this offering certain of the underwriters (and selling group members) may engage in passive market making transactions in the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq prior to the pricing and completion of this offering. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on the Nasdaq no higher than the bid prices of independent market makers and making purchases at prices no higher than these independent bids and effected in response to order flow. Net purchases by a passive market maker on each day are generally limited to a specified percentage of the passive market maker’s average daily trading volume in the Class A Common Stock during a specified period and must be discontinued when such limit is reached. Passive market making may cause the price of the Class A Common Stock to be higher
 
S-18

 
than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. If passive market making is commenced, it may be discontinued at any time.

These forward-looking statements are based on EVgo management’s current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events, and are not guarantees of performance.

Forward-looking statements in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and in any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus may include, for example, statements about:

changes adversely affecting EVgo’s business;

the risks associated with cyclical demand for EVgo’s services and vulnerability to industry downturns and regional or national downturns;

There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that the Company has anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond EVgo’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of EVgo’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements in this prospectus and in any document incorporated herein by reference should not be relied upon as representing EVgo’s views as of any subsequent date, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in EVgo’s securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks incorporated by reference to EVgo’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus as updated by EVgo’s subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus before acquiring any such securities. EVgo’s business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not known to it or that it considers immaterial as of the date of this prospectus. The trading price of EVgo’s securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. See “Incorporation by Reference.”
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities we are offering for general corporate purposes. This may include, among other things, additions to working capital, repayment or refinancing of any indebtedness or other corporate obligations, financing of capital expenditures and acquisitions and investment in existing and future projects. Any specific allocation of the net proceeds of an offering of securities to a specific purpose will be determined at the time of the offering and will be described in an accompanying prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus.
All of the Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.
We will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $208.1 million from the exercise of the Warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all of the Warrants for cash. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. There is no assurance that the holders of the Warrants will elect to exercise any or all of such Warrants. To the extent that the Warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of the Warrants will decrease.
REDEMPTION OF OPCO UNITS AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK
EVgo is organized in an “Up-C” structure and operates its business through CRIS Thunder Merger Sub, LLC (“Thunder Sub”) and its subsidiaries, including EVgo OpCo. On the CRIS Close Date, Thunder Sub and EVgo Holdings entered into the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of EVgo OpCo (the “EVgo OpCo A&R LLC Agreement”). Pursuant to the EVgo OpCo A&R LLC Agreement, each OpCo Unit (other than an OpCo Unit held by Thunder Sub), together with one share of Class B Common Stock, will be redeemable, subject to certain conditions, for either one share of Class A Common Stock or, at EVgo OpCo’s election, an amount of cash approximately equivalent to the market value of one share of Class A Common Stock. As holders of OpCo Units exchange their OpCo Units and Class B Common Stock for Class A Common Stock, our relative ownership interest in EVgo OpCo will correspondingly increase.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the Selling Securityholders of up to 200,747,717 shares of our Class A Common Stock and 3,148,569 Private Placement Warrants. The PIPE Investors acquired shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to separate subscription agreements entered into and effective as of January 21, 2021 (the “Subscription Agreements”). Climate Change Crisis Real Impact I Acquisition Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), acquired shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock concurrently with our IPO (including shares converted from Class B Common Stock held by initial stockholders (the “initial stockholders”) of CRIS (the “Founder Shares”) into Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination). Mary Powell, Richard, L. Kauffman, Mimi Alemayehou, Anne Frank-Shapiro, Daniel Gross, Amir Mehr and Stephen Moch, our former directors, each acquired Founder Shares in connection with the Company’s IPO, which shares converted into Class A Common Stock at the Closing. Following the Closing, the Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure with EVgo Holdings holding 195,800,000 units in EVgo OpCo (the “EVgo OpCo Units”) and an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock. See “Redemption of OpCo Units and Class B Common Stock.”
When we refer to the “Selling Securityholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, or other transferees who later come to hold any of the Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants other than through a public sale, including through a distribution by such Selling Securityholders to their members.
The following table is prepared based on information provided to us by the Selling Securityholders. It sets forth the name and address of the Selling Securityholders, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants that the Selling Securityholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus, and the beneficial ownership of the Selling Securityholders both before and after the offering. We have based percentage ownership prior to this offering on 69,078,584 shares of Class A Common Stock, 195,800,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 3,148,569 Private Placement Warrants outstanding, in each case as of August 1, 2022. In calculating percentages of shares of Class A Common Stock owned by a particular Selling Securityholder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of that particular Selling Securityholder’s Private Placement Warrants, if any, and did not assume the exercise of any other Selling Securityholder’s Private Placement Warrants.
We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Securityholders will in fact sell any or all of such Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants. In addition, the Selling Securityholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the Selling Securityholders will have sold all of the securities covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering.
Unless otherwise indicated below, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is 11835 West Olympic Boulevard, Suite 900E, Los Angeles, CA 90064.

The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell, from time to time, their respective shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants covered by this prospectus.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of our Class A Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Private Placement Warrants to be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders will bear all discounts and commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of shares of our Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the securities by the Selling Securityholders. We will receive proceeds from Warrants exercised in the event that such Warrants are exercised for cash. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholders will be the purchase price of the securities less any discounts and commissions borne by the Selling Securityholders. The term “Selling Securityholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. The Selling Securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. The Selling Securityholders may sell their shares of Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

underwritten transactions (whether on a firm commitment or best efforts basis, including through bought deals);

exchange distributions and/or secondary distributions;

sales directly to one or more purchasers;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

in options transactions;

through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

Additionally, the Selling Securityholders may elect to make an in-kind distribution of their shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants to their respective members, partners or stockholders. To the extent that such members, partners or stockholders are not affiliates or ours, such members, partners of stockholders would thereby receive freely tradable securities pursuant to the distribution through this registration statement.

In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of shares of Class A Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may also sell shares of Class A Common Stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Securityholders may also pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
A Selling Securityholder may fix a price or prices of our Class A Common Stock at:

market prices prevailing at the time of any sale under this registration statement;

prices related to market prices; and

negotiated prices.
A Selling Securityholder may change the price of the Class A Common Stock offered from time to time.
A Selling Securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If an applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Selling Securityholder or borrowed from any Selling Securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities

received from any Selling Securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. If applicable through securities laws, the third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Selling Securityholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
At the time a particular offer of securities is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public. If a Selling Securityholder uses underwriters in an offering, it will execute an underwriting agreement with such underwriters. If a Selling Securityholder uses an underwriting syndicate, the managing underwriter(s) will be specified on the cover of the prospectus supplement. If a Selling Securityholder uses underwriters for a sale of Class A Common Stock, the underwriters will acquire the shares for their own accounts. The underwriters may resell the Class A Common Stock from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to conditions precedents and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if any are purchased.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In offering the securities covered by this prospectus, the Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents who execute sales for the Selling Securityholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the Selling Securityholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and their compensation will be described. A Selling Securityholder may enter into agreements with the underwriters, broker-dealers and agents to indemnify them against specified civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents and their associates may engage in other transactions with and perform other services for us in the ordinary course of business.
If so indicated in a prospectus supplement, a Selling Securityholder will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as such Selling Securityholder’s agents to solicit offers by institutional investors to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. A Selling Securityholder may enter contracts with commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutional investors. The obligations of any institutional investor will be subject to the condition that its purchase of the offered securities will not be illegal at the time of delivery. The underwriters and other agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of contracts.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
We have advised the Selling Securityholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
 
13

 
The Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
A holder of Warrants may exercise its Warrants in accordance with the Warrant Agreement on or before the expiration date set forth therein by surrendering, at the office of the warrant agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the certificate evidencing such Warrants, with the form of election to purchase set forth thereon, properly completed and duly executed, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrants, subject to any applicable provisions relating to cashless exercises in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.

15

Upon the future exchange of OpCo Units held by any holder of shares of Class B Common Stock, a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by such holder of OpCo Units will be cancelled. Shares of Class B Common Stock can only be transferred with their corresponding OpCo Units in accordance with the EVgo OpCo A&R LLC Agreement.

The directors first elected to Class I will hold office for a term expiring at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders; the directors first elected to Class II will hold office for a term expiring at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders; and the directors first elected to Class III will hold office for a term expiring at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. At each succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders, the successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting will be elected by plurality vote of all votes cast at such meeting to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election.
Preferred Stock
Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The Board of Directors is able, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue Preferred Stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control or the removal of existing management. The Company has no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at the date hereof.
Redeemable Warrants
Public Warrants
Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase at least two units, you will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant. The warrants will expire on July 1, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company is not obligated to deliver any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the warrants is then
 
16

 
effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant is exercisable and the Company is not obligated to issue shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A Common Stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant is not entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event is the Company required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A Common Stock underlying such unit.
Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00.   The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of Class A Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30‑trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (which the Company refers to as the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments”).
The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
The Company has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. Any such exercise would not be done on a “cashless” basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised. However, the price of Class A Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments”) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00.   Once the warrants become exercisable, EVgo may redeem the outstanding warrants:

in whole and not in part;

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Class A Common Stock (as defined below in the immediately following paragraph) except as otherwise described below;

if, and only if, the Reference Value (as defined above under the heading “— Redeemable Warrants — Public Warrants — Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00”) equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Redeemable Warrants — Public Warrants — Anti-Dilution Adjustments”); and
 
17

 

if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Redeemable Warrants — Public Warrants — Anti-Dilution Adjustments”), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.
Beginning on the date the notice of redemption is given until the warrants are redeemed or exercised, holders may elect to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The numbers in the table below represent the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that a warrant holder will receive upon such cashless exercise in connection with a redemption by the Company pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair market value” of Class A Common Stock on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their warrants and such warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per warrant), determined for these purposes based on the volume-weighted average price of Class A Common Stock as reported during the ten trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the warrants, each as set forth in the table below. The Company will provide its warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the ten-trading day period described above ends.
The share prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant or the exercise price of a warrant is adjusted as set forth under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” below. If the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant is adjusted, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the exercise price of the warrant after such adjustment and the denominator of which is the price of the warrant immediately prior to such adjustment. In such an event, the number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted by multiplying such share amounts by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant as so adjusted. If the exercise price is adjusted, (a) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the fifth paragraph under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the higher of the market value and the newly issued price as set forth under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” and the denominator of which is $10.00 and (b) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the second paragraph under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price less the decrease in the exercise price of a warrant pursuant to such exercise price adjustment.

The exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued for each warrant exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the volume weighted average price of Class A Common Stock as reported during the ten trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of warrants is $11.00 per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.277 shares of Class A Common Stock for each whole warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the volume weighted average price of Class A Common Stock as reported during the ten trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.298 shares of Class A Common Stock for each whole warrant. In no event will the warrants be exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Class A Common Stock per whole warrant (subject to adjustment). Finally, as reflected in the table above, if the warrants are out of the money and about to expire, they cannot be exercised on a cashless basis in connection with a redemption by the Company pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not be exercisable for any Class A Common Stock.
This redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features used in many other blank check companies, which typically only provide for a redemption of warrants for cash (other than the Private Placement Warrants) when the trading price for Class A Common Stock exceeds $18.00 per share for a specified period of time. This redemption feature is structured to allow for all of the outstanding warrants to be redeemed when Class A Common Stock are trading at or above $10.00 per share, which may be at a time when the trading price of Class A Common Stock is below the exercise price of the warrants. The Company
 
19

 
established this redemption feature to provide it with the flexibility to redeem the warrants without the warrants having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold set forth above under “— Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00.” Holders choosing to exercise their warrants in connection with a redemption pursuant to this feature will, in effect, receive a number of shares for their warrants based on an option pricing model with a fixed volatility input as of September 29, 2020. This redemption right provides the Company with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding warrants, and therefore have certainty as to its capital structure as the warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed. The Company is required to pay the applicable redemption price to warrant holders if the Company chooses to exercise this redemption right and it will allow the Company to quickly proceed with a redemption of the warrants if it determines it is in its best interest to do so. As such, the Company would redeem the warrants in this manner when it believes it is in its best interest to update its capital structure to remove the warrants and pay the redemption price to the warrant holders.
As stated above, the Company can redeem the warrants when the shares of Class A Common Stock are trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is below the exercise price of $11.50, because it will provide certainty with respect to its capital structure and cash position while providing warrant holders with the opportunity to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis for the applicable number of shares. If the Company chooses to redeem the warrants when the shares of Class A Common Stock are trading at a price below the exercise price of the warrants, this could result in the warrant holders receiving fewer shares of Class A Common Stock than they would have received if they had chosen to wait to exercise their warrants for shares of Class A Common Stock if and when such shares of Class A Common Stock were trading at a price higher than the exercise price of $11.50.
No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the holder. If, at the time of redemption, the warrants are exercisable for a security other than Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the warrants may be exercised for such security.
Redemption Procedures.   A holder of a warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
Anti-Dilution Adjustments.   If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Class A Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Class A Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of shares of Class A Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price less than the historical fair market value (as defined below) will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock) and (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Class A Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Class A Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon conversion or exercise and (ii) “historical fair market value” means the volume weighted average price of Class A Common Stock as reported during the ten trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Class A Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.
If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Class A Common Stock or other similar

event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
Whenever the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
The warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement. On October 5, 2020, the Company filed a copy of the Warrant Agreement with the SEC as Exhibit 4.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K. The Warrant Agreement contains a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants.
The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to the Company, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Class A Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the warrant holder.
Private Placement Warrants
The Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company (except as described above under “— Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00”) so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described below, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants sold as part of the units in the IPO, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in the IPO.
Except as described above under “— Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00,” if holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A Common Stock over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of Class A Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of warrants, as applicable. The reason the Company agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees is because it was not known at that time whether they will be affiliated with the Company following an initial business combination. If they remain affiliated with the Company, their ability to sell the Company’s securities in the open market will be significantly limited. The
 
21

 
Company expects to have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling the Company’s securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell the Company’s securities, an insider cannot trade in the Company’s securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could sell the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted from doing so. As a result, the Company believes that allowing holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.
Registration Rights
In connection with the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor and the other initial stockholders terminated the existing registration rights agreement and entered into the registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with EVgo Holdings (together with the Sponsor, the other initial stockholders and any person or entity who becomes a party to the Registration Rights Agreement, the “Holders”) that grant certain resale registration rights with respect to (a) the Private Placement Warrants (including any shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any Private Placement Warrants), (b) shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any Founder Shares, (c) any outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock held by a Holder as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, (d) any shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon exchange of OpCo Units and shares of Class B Common Stock held by a Holder as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and (e) any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the registrable securities, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1, originally filed with the SEC on July 20, 2021 (File Number 333-258052) (the “Registration Statement”), registering the resale of the registrable securities permitted to be registered for resale from time to time pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement was declared effective on July 30, 2021. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to remain effective, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides holders with certain customary demand and piggyback registration rights. The Company has filed the Registration Statement to satisfy such obligations. Additionally, the Company agreed that, as soon as reasonably practicable after it is eligible to register holders’ securities on a registration statement on Form S-3, the Company will file a new registration statement with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense), and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such new registration statement to become effective and remain effective, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is being filed to satisfy such obligation.
Pursuant to Subscription Agreements effective as of January 21, 2021 entered into with a number of purchasers to purchase from the Company a total of 40,000,000 PIPE Shares, the Company agreed to file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares, and the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. The Registration Statement initially filed on July 20, 2021 and declared effective on July 30, 2021 included the PIPE Shares.
Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Charter and Bylaws
The Company’s Charter provides that it opted out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). However, the Company’s Charter contains similar provisions providing that it may not engage in certain “business combinations” with any “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

prior to such time, the Board of Directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the Company’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding certain shares; or
 
22

 

at or subsequent to that time, the business combination was approved by the Board of Directors and by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or certain other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of the Company’s voting stock.
Under certain circumstances, this provision will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring the Company to negotiate in advance with the Board of Directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the Board of Directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in the Board of Directors and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
The Company’s Charter provides that LS Power (as defined in the Company’s Charter) and its affiliates, any of its respective direct or indirect transferees who hold at least 15% of the Company’s outstanding common stock after such transfer and any group as to which such persons are party to, do not constitute “interested stockholders” for purposes of this provision.
The Company’s authorized but unissued common stock and Preferred Stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
