CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

ChargePoint makes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, regarding ChargePoint’s future financial performance, as well as ChargePoint’s strategy, future operations, future operating results, financial position, expectations regarding revenue, losses, and costs, margins, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “project” or the negative of such terms and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations of ChargePoint’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of, fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions, and such differences may be material. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of ChargePoint. These forward- looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about ChargePoint that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. If any of these risks materialize or ChargePoint’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that ChargePoint does not presently know or that ChargePoint currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward- looking statements reflect ChargePoint’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. ChargePoint anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause ChargePoint’s assessments to change. However, while ChargePoint may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, except as otherwise required by applicable law, ChargePoint specifically disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus or after the date of the documents incorporated by reference herein. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing ChargePoint’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date hereof. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. ChargePoint cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risk and uncertainties, most of which are all difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of ChargePoint.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements:

 

  •  

ChargePoint’s success in retaining or recruiting, or changes in, its officers, key employees or directors;

 

  •  

changes in applicable laws or regulations;

 

  •  

the impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on the overall economy and ChargePoint’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows;

 

  •  

supply chain disruptions and expense increases, including those contributed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and conflict between Ukraine and Russia;

 

  •  

delays in new product introductions;

 

  •  

ChargePoint’s ability to expand its business in Europe;

 

  •  

ChargePoint’s ability to integrate newly acquired assets and businesses into ChargePoint’s own business and the expected benefits from newly acquired assets to ChargePoint, its customers, and its market position;

Table of Contents
  •  

the electric vehicle (“EV”) market may not grow as expected;

 

  •  

ChargePoint may not attract a sufficient number of fleet owners or operators as customers;

 

  •  

incentives from governments or utilities may not materialize or may be reduced, which could reduce demand for EVs, or the portion of regulatory credits that customers claim may increase, which would reduce ChargePoint’s revenue from this source;

 

  •  

the impact of competing technologies or technological changes could reduce the demand for EVs or otherwise adversely affect the EV market or ChargePoint’s business;

 

  •  

data security breaches or other network outages;

 

  •  

ChargePoint’s ability to remediate its material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting;

 

  •  

the possibility that ChargePoint may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors;

 

  •  

ChargePoint’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow to make payments, including interest payment on the Convertible notes;

 

  •  

ChargePoint’s incurrence of additional indebtedness in the future;

 

  •  

ChargePoint’s ability to repay the Convertible Notes upon maturity, a fundamental change or change in control transaction as required; and

 

  •  

any further changes to ChargePoint’s financial statements that may be required due to SEC comments to its Form 10-K, as amended, or further guidance regarding the accounting treatment of ChargePoint’s warrants or equity, and the quantitative effects of the restatement of Switchback’s consolidated historical financial statements.

The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” and in ChargePoint’s current and periodic reports, and other filings, filed from time to time with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Forward-looking statements reflect current views about ChargePoint’s plans, strategies and prospects, which are based on information available as of the date of this prospectus or after the date of the documents incorporated by reference herein. Except to the extent required by applicable law, ChargePoint undertakes no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or revise the forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside ChargePoint’s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on those statements.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

Private Placement of Convertible Notes

Investment Agreement

On April 4, 2022, ChargePoint and its wholly owned subsidiary, ChargePoint, Inc., entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Antara Capital LP, pursuant to which ChargePoint sold to the Selling Securityholders $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of ChargePoint’s Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of ChargePoint and any guarantor, bearing interest at a rate of 3.50% per annum, to the extent paid in cash, and 5.00% per annum, to the extent paid in kind through an increase in the principal amount of the Convertible Notes (“PIK Interest”). The Convertible Notes mature on April 1, 2027, unless redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

Indenture and Issuance of Convertible Notes

The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 12, 2022 (the “Indenture”), by and among ChargePoint, ChargePoint, Inc., as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust National Association, as trustee. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2027, the Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 41.6119 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $24.03 per share of Common Stock, which represents 130% of the average daily per share volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock over the three consecutive trading days starting April 5, 2022 and ending April 7, 2022), subject to customary anti-dilution and other adjustments, only under the following circumstances: (i) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2022 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of that ten consecutive trading day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock and the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes on each such trading day; (iii) if ChargePoint calls such Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (iv) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after January 1, 2027, holders of the Convertible Notes will have the right to convert all or a portion of their Convertible Notes at any time prior to close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, holders of the Convertible Notes will receive cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at ChargePoint’s election.

After April 21, 2025, ChargePoint may, at its option, redeem the Convertible Notes in whole or in part, at its option, on or after such date and prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, for a cash purchase price equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Convertible Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or following issuance by ChargePoint of a notice of redemption, in each case as provided in the Indenture, in certain circumstances, ChargePoint will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event or who elects to convert any Convertible Notes called for redemption during the related redemption period. Additionally, in the event of a fundamental change or a change in control transaction (each such term as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Convertible Notes will have the right, at such holder’s option, to require ChargePoint to repurchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes at a price equal to 100% of the capitalized principal amount of Convertible Notes, in the case of a fundamental change, or 125% of the capitalized principal amount of Convertible Notes, in the case of change in control transactions, in each case plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

Such members, partners or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradeable securities pursuant to the distribution through the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. To the extent a distributee is an affiliate of ours (or to the extent otherwise required by law), ChargePoint may file a prospectus supplement in order to permit the distributees to use the prospectus to resell the Shares acquired in the distribution.

The Selling Securityholders also may transfer the Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. Upon being notified by the Selling Securityholders that a donee, pledgee, transferee, other successor- in-interest intends to sell the Shares, ChargePoint will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a Selling Securityholders.

There can be no assurance that the Selling Securityholders will sell all or any of the Shares offered by this prospectus. In addition, the Selling Securityholders may also sell the Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or in other transactions exempt from registration, rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of the Shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

To the extent required, the Shares to be sold, the name of the Selling Securityholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the proceeds to be received from the sale, if any, and other material terms of the offering, the settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts or any other items constituting compensation from the Selling Securityholders with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

In connection with the sale of shares of Common Stock, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver the Shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell the Shares. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the 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).

In order to facilitate the offering of the Shares, any underwriters or agents, as the case may be, involved in the offering of such Shares may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of ChargePoint’s securities. Specifically, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in ChargePoint’s securities for their own account. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of ChargePoint’s securities, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may bid for, and purchase, such securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allotted to an underwriter or a broker- dealer for distributing such securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. The underwriters or agents, as the case may be, are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

In offering the Shares covered by this prospectus, the Selling Securityholders and any underwriters, 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 discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of those Shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

The Selling Securityholders may solicit offers to purchase the Shares directly from, and it may sell such Shares directly to, institutional investors or others. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. The terms of any of those sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, if utilized, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in ChargePoint’s securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. ChargePoint cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for its securities. ChargePoint’s Common Stock is currently listed on the NYSE under the symbol “CHPT.”

The Selling Securityholders may authorize underwriters, broker-dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the Shares at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions ChargePoint or the Selling Securityholders pay for solicitation of these contracts.

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 the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell the Shares 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 the Shares received from any Selling Securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. 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 the Shares to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the Shares short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in ChargePoint’s securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

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.
