Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On November 12, 2020, B. Riley Principal Merger Corp. II (“BMRG”), the predecessor to Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”), held a special meeting of stockholders (the “BMRG Special Meeting”) to approve certain matters relating to the business combination between BMRG and Eos Energy Storage LLC.

 

One of these matters was a proposal to amend and restate BMRG’s certificate of incorporation in order to, among other things, increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 125,000,000 shares of common stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, and to reclassify all Class A common stock and Class B common stock as a single class of common stock (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”). The Charter Amendment Proposal was approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of BMRG as of the record date for the BMRG Special Meeting, voting together as a single class, although voting records indicate that a majority of each of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock also approved the Charter Amendment Proposal. After the BMRG Special Meeting, BMRG and Eos Energy Storage LLC closed the business combination and the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended to give effect to the Charter Amendment Proposal, became effective.

 

A recent ruling by the Delaware Court of Chancery introduces uncertainty as to whether Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) would have required the Charter Amendment Proposal to be approved by separate votes of the majority of BMRG’s then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock.

 

The Company has been proceeding with the understanding that the Charter Amendment Proposal and the amendment and restated certificate of incorporate are valid. In light of this recent ruling, however, to resolve potential uncertainty with respect to the Company’s capital structure, the Company has filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery under Section 205 of the DGCL to seek validation of the Charter Amendment Proposal. Section 205 of the DGCL permits the Court of Chancery, in its discretion, to ratify and validate potentially defective corporate acts.

 

If the Company is not successful in the Section 205 proceeding, the uncertainty with respect to the Company’s capitalization resulting from the Court of Chancery’s ruling referenced above could have a material adverse impact on the Company, including on the Company’s ability to complete equity or debt financing transactions and issue stock-based compensation to its employees, directors and officers, until the underlying issues are definitively resolved.
