Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously reported in a Form

8-K

filed on May 4, 2021 (the “Prior

8-K”),

Stem, Inc. (“Legacy Stem”) and Star Peak Transition Corp. (the “Company” or “STPK”) consummated a merger (the “Merger”), as a result of which STPK acquired Legacy Stem and changed its name to Stem, Inc. Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Legacy Stem common stock then issued and outstanding was canceled and converted into the right to receive shares of Class A common stock of the Company.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under this method of accounting, STPK was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Stem issuing stock for the net assets of STPK, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, the Company retroactively applied the recapitalization to the Company’s equity structure, including the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020, the total stockholders’ deficit within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the weighted average outstanding shares basic and diluted for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Accordingly, the Company is

re-issuing

in an updated format the historical financial statements included in Item 9.01(a) of the Prior

8-K

for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The information provided in this Current Report on Form

8-K

should be read in conjunction with the other portions of the Prior

8-K

and the Company’s filings on Form
