EXPLANATORY NOTE

On January 19, 2023, Wallbox N.V. (the “Company”) released information regarding its cost reduction program. A copy of the Company’s press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

WALLBOX N.V. ANNOUNCES COST REDUCTION PROGRAM

On January 19, 2023, the Company announced that, as a result of disruptions in the global supply chains that have impacted delivery rates of electric vehicles, the Company is taking measures to reduce costs and better align its cost structure with the current demand environment.

Reductions will be balanced between operating and personnel expenses, impacting approximately 15% of the Company’s workforce. The Company expects the changes to result in annualized cost savings for 2023 of approximately €50 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company also added more than €70 million in cash and availability under working capital lines.
