Item
3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On
December 6, 2022, stockholders of Broadscale Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) approved amendments (collectively the “Charter
Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Charter”) to, among other
things, change the date (the “Original Termination Date”) by which the Company must either (i) consummate a merger, capital
stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving one or more businesses, which
is referred to as the initial Business Combination, or (ii) if the Company fails to complete such initial Business Combination by the
Original Termination Date, cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, and, subject to and in accordance with the Charter,
redeem (the “Redemption”) all of the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class
A Common Stock”), included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), whether
such shares were purchased in the IPO or in the secondary market following the IPO (including shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’
overallotment option, collectively, the “Public Shares”). The Charter Amendment changes the Original Termination Date from
February 17, 2023 to December 8, 2022 (such date, the “Amended Termination Date”).
The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware on December 6, 2022. A copy of the Charter Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein
by reference.
The Company has (i) notified the Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of the anticipated Redemption, liquidation and dissolution; and (ii) requested that Nasdaq (A) suspend
trading of the Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock, redeemable warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Redeemable
Warrants”) and units, each consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-fourth of one Redeemable Warrant (the units,
together with the Class A Common Stock and the Redeemable Warrants, the “Securities”) effective before the opening of trading
on December 12, 2022, and (B) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form 25 Notification of Removal
from Listing and/or Registration (“Form 25”) to delist and deregister the Securities under Section 12(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, the Securities will no longer be listed on Nasdaq.
The
Company expects that Nasdaq will file Form 25 with the SEC on or about December 9, 2022, upon which the delisting of the Company’s
Securities will become effective. Following that, the Company intends to file Form 15 Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration
with the SEC, requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be terminated
with respect to the Securities.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The
information set forth in Item 3.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
At
the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on December 6, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”), the following proposals
were considered and acted upon by the stockholders of the Company: (a) a proposal to approve an amendment to the Charter to change the
Original Termination Date to the Amended Termination Date (“Proposal 1”); (b) a proposal to approve an amendment to the Charter
to reduce the redemption limitation contained in the Charter (“Proposal 2”); and (c) a proposal to approve the adjournment
of the Special Meeting from time to time to solicit additional proxies in favor of Proposal 1 or Proposal 2 or if otherwise determined
by the chairperson of the Special Meeting to be necessary or appropriate (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The number of votes
cast for or against, as well as the number of abstentions as to each proposal, are set forth below.

Accordingly, the Adjournment Proposal was approved.
In connection with the approval and implementation of the Charter Amendment,
the holders of 33,825,224 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.08
per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $340.95 million. Following such redemptions, 674,776 Public Shares remain
outstanding.
Item
8.01 Other Events.
In
the Redemption, the Public Shares will be redeemed at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
(A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000
of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses) (the “Redemption Amount”), by (B) the total number of then outstanding
Public Shares. The Redemption will completely extinguish rights of the holders of Public Shares (including the right to receive further
liquidating distributions, if any). There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Redeemable Warrants,
which will expire worthless upon the liquidation of the Company.
The Company estimates that
the total Redemption Amount will be approximately $6.75 million, and the per-share Redemption Amount will be approximately $10.00.
