Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 4, 2022, Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. V (the “Company”) consummated the private placement of 3,680,000 warrants at a price of $0.75 per warrant (the “New Warrants”), generating total proceeds of $2,760,000 (the “Private Placement”). The New Warrants were purchased by Kensington Capital Sponsor V LLC (the “Sponsor”) and are substantially similar to the warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the Company’s initial public offering in August 2021 (the “IPO”). The New Warrants have been issued pursuant to, and are governed by, the Warrant Agreement that the Company entered into at the time of the IPO.

The proceeds received by the Company in connection with the issuance of the New Warrants have been deposited in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) established at the time of the IPO. In accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the deposit of such proceeds into the Trust Account on or prior to August 17, 2022 will extend by six months the time the Company will have to consummate an initial business combination.
