SOLID POWER
DCRC - Solid Power, Inc., an industry-leading producer of all-solid-state batteries for electric vehicles, and Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation III announced a definitive agreement for a business combination that would result in Solid Power becoming a publicly listed company. The business combination values Solid Power at an implied $1.2 billion pro forma enterprise value. With eight years of technology development and three years of manufacturing development, Solid Power has been working to deliver on one objective – produce better performing all-solid-state batteries using low-cost, industry standard processes. Solid Power manufactures its batteries on the company's pilot production line, which essentially mirrors lithium-ion manufacturing processes, while eliminating certain expensive and timely steps. Solid Power's all-solid-state batteries could provide a near 500-mile vehicle range on a single charge, which is 50 to 75 percent greater than any commercially available lithium-ion battery today. The safety profile of Solid Power's batteries is also improved over traditional lithium-ion as a result of its truly all-solid cell architecture. Solid Power's partners Ford and BMW expect to integrate the company's batteries in future electric vehicles. With nearly a $220 billion total addressable market, Solid Power is well-positioned for significant growth for years to come. Through the vision and leadership of Doug Campbell, they have built an incredible team, developed an all-solid-state battery technology platform that is expected to outperform lithium-ion and future next-generation battery technologies, and attracted a collection of world-class investors and partners. The proposed transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021,
Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will be named Solid Power and is expected to be listed on the NASDAQ and trade under the new ticker symbol "SLDP."

Founded in 2001 by e-mobility pioneers, Tritium designs, develops, and manufactures proprietary hardware for advanced and reliable DC fast charging. The company has a two-decade history in advanced power electronics and electric transportation, starting as a developer of technology for solar race cars and other extraordinary projects, like the battery management system for James Cameron's "Deepsea Challenger" submersible. Tritium has provided more than 2.7 million high-power charging sessions across 41 countries, delivering over 55 GWh of energy. The company's intellectual property includes the world's only fully liquid-cooled, IP65-rated charger, providing customers with technology that is ingress-protected and sealed from outside elements, thus reducing the total cost of ownership.

As the wave of investment capital directed to environmental, social, and corporate governance ("ESG") goals continues its acceleration, we believe a publicly traded Tritium will serve as a valuable core holding for ESG investors. Tritium's customers include Chargepoint Ionity - the EV charging joint venture of Volkswagen AG, BMW , Daimler AG, Ford Motor Co and Hyundai Motor Co - as well as Nissan Motor Co Ltd , Honda Motor Co Ltd and Harley-Davidson Inc .

DMYI - IonQ, Inc., announced today that it has entered into a merger agreement with dMY Technology Group, Inc. III. Pro forma implied market capitalization of the combined company is approximately $2 billion. IonQ believes the twenty-first century will be defined by quantum computing and that this technology will have an even greater impact than classical computing had over the last 100 years. Quantum computing uses information in a fundamentally different way than classical computing, and so can address a set of hard problems classical computing may never solve. Many of these problems are fundamental, involving society’s most pressing needs, such as how to live sustainably on our planet, how to cure diseases, and how to efficiently move people and goods. Because they are based on quantum information rather than classical information, IonQ believes the best way to solve them is to use quantum computing. IonQ is building the world’s best quantum computers to tackle such challenges. In addition to producing the first and only quantum computer available via the cloud on both Amazon Braket and Microsoft Azure, IonQ has defined what it believes to be the best path forward to scaling quantum computing power. By 2023, IonQ plans to develop modular quantum computers small enough to be networked together, which could pave the way for broad quantum advantage by 2025.
