1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Climate
Real Impact Solutions II Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 2, 2020. The
Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or
similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
The
Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early
stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth
companies.
As of September 30, 2022,
the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 2, 2020 (inception) through September 30,
2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described
below and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the
completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from
the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 26, 2021. On January 29,
2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,150,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares
of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters
of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,150,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $241,500,000 which
is described in Note 3. Certain members of Climate Real Impact Solutions II Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) that are affiliated
with Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the “PIMCO private funds”), or one or more of their respective affiliates,
purchased an aggregate of 2,079,000 Units in the Initial Public Offering at the Initial Public Offering price.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the sale of 4,553,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”)
at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6,830,000, which
is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to
$13,628,145, consisting of $4,414,200 in cash underwriting fees, $8,452,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $761,445 of other offering
costs. On August 17, 2022, one of the underwriters agreed to waive its interest in the deferred underwriting fees.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 29, 2021, an amount of $241,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds
of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account
(the “Trust Account”), located in the United States. The funds in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government
securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market
fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of:
(i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward
consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
The Company must complete a Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets that together have an aggregate fair
market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions
and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection
with its initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or
acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires an interest in the target business or assets
sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. In addition, the Company
has agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination without the prior consent of the PIMCO
private funds (an affiliate of the Sponsor).

The
Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem
all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting
called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder
approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The public stockholders will be entitled to
redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share, plus any
pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).
There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The
Company will only proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation
of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business
Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange rules and the Company does not decide to hold
a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business
Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange rules, or the Company
decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy
solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection
with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), and any Public Shares purchased
during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect
to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all.
Notwithstanding
the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender
offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of
such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with
respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The
Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with
the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial
Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect
to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides
the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
The
Company will have until January 29, 2023, or such later date as a result of a stockholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to
complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding
up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held
in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution
expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably
possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board
of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims
of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect
to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares
will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the
Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in
the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event,
such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public
Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution
will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
In
order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims
by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed
entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $10.00 per Public Share
and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions
in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to claims by a third party or prospective
target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under
the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to
be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors
by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective
target businesses and other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title,
interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $738,127 in its operating bank
account, $242,670,400 in investments held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Class
A common stock in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $1,549,272, which includes $109,571 of prepaid income taxes and
excludes $462,635 of franchise taxes paid from the operating account which are reimbursable with the interest earned on the trust. As
of September 30, 2022, approximately $1,170,000 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available
to pay the Company’s tax obligations. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period,
the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than
ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit
in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay
its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares,
which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further
liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of
the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to
the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There
will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if
the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
In order to finance transaction
costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, the PIMCO private funds or certain of the
Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined below) (see
Note 5). As of September 30, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
In order to fund the working
capital deficiency of the Company, the Sponsor and an affiliate had advanced the Company a total of $1,173,905 as of September 30, 2022.
Further, on May 31, 2022, the Sponsor issued an additional unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “May Promissory Note”)
of $1,103,863. As of September 30, 2022, there was $1,103,863 outstanding under the May Promissory Note.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until January 29, 2023 to
consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If
a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension has not been requested by the Sponsor and approved by the Company’s
stockholders, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity
condition and the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur and an extension is not requested by the Sponsor and
approved by the Company’s stockholders, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required
to liquidate after January 29, 2023. The Company intends to continue to search for and seek
to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in condensed financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial
reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include
all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating
results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The interim results for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31,
2022 or for any future interim period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 17, 2022.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not
being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from
the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments
not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective
or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed financial statements with another public
company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition
period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of
a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered
in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting
estimates included in these condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities (as described
in Note 8). Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results
could differ significantly from those estimates.
Offering
Costs
Offering costs consisted
of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public
Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative
fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred in the
statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were initially charged to temporary equity and
then accreted to common stock subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $13,006,039
were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Transaction costs related to derivative liability
incurred through the balance sheets date and directly related to the Initial Public Offering amounting to $622,106, were charged to operations
upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Class
A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The
Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject
to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock
(including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon
the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times,
common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights
that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares
of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit
section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
The
Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to
equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were
also the redemption date for the security. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion
from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock resulted in charges
against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Class A common
stock subject to possible redemption reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Warrant
Liabilities
The Company accounts for its issued
and outstanding warrants (such warrants, as described in Note 8, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained
in ASC 815-40-15-7D under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly,
the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period.
This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in
the statements of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering has been estimated using a
Monte Carlo simulation methodology as of the date of the Initial Public Offering and the Public Warrants’ quoted market price at
September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Private Placement Warrants were valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing
Model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used
as the fair value as of each relevant date. The Private Placement Warrants after the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units
is valued using the quoted market price of the Public Warrant, as the make whole provision of Private Placement Warrants are the same
as the Public Warrants. As such the Private Placement Warrants has substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants.
Income
Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income
Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences
between the unaudited condensed financial statements carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future
tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established
when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The effective tax rate were 3.15%
and 0.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 1.90% and 0.00% for the nine months ended September
30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
ASC 740 also clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and
transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September
30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments,
accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is subject to
income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions,
the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does
not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Net Income per Share of Common Stock
Net income per share
is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies
the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common shares is excluded
from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted
income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii)
the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable
to purchase 9,382,755 shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive
securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the
Company. As a result, diluted net income per share of common stock is the same as basic net income per share of common stock
for the periods presented.

Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that
potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times,
may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and
management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,”
approximate the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature,
other than the warrant liabilities (see Note 9).
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted
for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each
reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments,
including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
Derivative liabilities are classified in the condensed balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement
or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Recent
Accounting Standards
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on the Company’s condensed financial statements.
Investments Held in Trust Account
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the
Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury bills, accounted for as held-to-maturity securities, and money market funds, which are invested
primarily in U.S. Treasury securities and accounted for as treasury securities at fair value.
NOTE
3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant
to the Initial Public Offering, on January 29, 2021, the Company sold 24,150,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the
underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,150,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. The PIMCO private funds
(an affiliate of the Sponsor) purchased an aggregate of 2,079,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share
of Class A common stock and one-fifth of one warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).
NOTE
4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,553,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price
of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, or $6,830,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable
to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). A portion
of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account.
If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement
Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable
law), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
On
December 11, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 6,037,500 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”)
for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On January 6, the Sponsor transferred 190,000 Founder Shares to directors, officers
and certain consultants of the Company (together with the Sponsor, the “initial stockholders”). The Founder Shares included
an aggregate of up to 787,500 shares that were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor. As a result of the underwriters’ election
to fully exercise their over-allotment option, no Founder Shares are currently subject to forfeiture.
The
Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier
of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported
sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or
(y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results
in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or
other property.
Consulting
Services
The Company entered into an agreement to pay approximately $65,000
per month to CRIS Services LLC, an entity owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and managed
by the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, for consulting services rendered to the Company. Due
to the downsizing by CRIS Services LLC, the expenses during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 were reduced to approximately $40,000
per month. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred and paid $100,074 and $235,905, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred and paid $506,638 and $569,898, respectively. None of which
are included in accrued expenses on the condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Promissory Notes - Related Parties
On December 11, 2020,
the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “IPO Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company
was entitled to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $250,000. The IPO Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on
the earlier of September 30, 2021 or the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the IPO Promissory
Note of $250,000 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 29, 2021.
On May 31, 2022, the Sponsor
issued the May Promissory Note to the Company, pursuant to which the Company was entitled to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount
of $1,103,863. The May Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and shall be repayable on the consummation of a Business Combination by
no later than (i) January 29, 2023, or (ii) any such date thereafter as provided for in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation
of the Company. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was $1,103,863 and $0 outstanding under the May Promissory Note,
respectively.
Related
Party Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with
a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates
may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes
a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company.
Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination
does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds
held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation
of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may
be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except
for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect
to such loans. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
Advance
from Related Party
On October 20, 2021, the Sponsor provided $1,000,000 for additional
working capital in the form of an advance. For the period ended September 30, 2022, an affiliate of the Company advanced the Company $60,000
for working capital purposes. Any amount paid on behalf of the Sponsor was deducted from the advance. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021, the outstanding balance under the advances amounted to $1,173,905 and $1,000,000, respectively. The advances are noninterest bearing
due on demand.

Risks
and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russian-Ukraine war on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that
the virus and the war could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search
for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the condensed financial statements. The condensed
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Inflation Reduction
Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”)
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation
Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S.
federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries
of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation
itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value
of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations
are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the
same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”)
has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
Any redemption or other repurchase
that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise
tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote
or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection
with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any
“PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business
Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance
from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics
of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand
to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination
Registration
and Stockholder Rights
Pursuant to a registration
and stockholder rights agreement entered into on January 26, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants
that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares)
are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only
after conversion to shares of Class A common stock). Any holder of at least 20% of the outstanding registrable securities owned by the
holders are entitled to make up to two demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition,
the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the
completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting
from delays in registering our securities. The Company will bear certain expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration
statements.
In
addition, pursuant to the registration and stockholder rights agreement, upon consummation of a Business Combination, the Company’s
initial stockholders will be entitled to designate three individuals for nomination for election to the Company’s board of directors
for so long as they continue to hold, collectively, at least 50% of the Founder Shares (or the securities into which such Founder Shares
convert) held by such persons on the date of this prospectus. Thereafter, such initial stockholders will be entitled to designate (i)
two individuals for nomination for election to the Company’s board of directors for so long they continue to hold, collectively,
at least 30% of the Founder Shares (or the securities into which such Founder Shares convert) held by such persons on the date of this
prospectus and (ii) one individual for nomination for election to the Company’s board of directors for so long they continue to
hold, collectively, at least 20% of the Founder Shares (or the securities into which such Founder Shares convert) held by such persons
on the date of this prospectus.
Deferred
Underwriting Fee
The
underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,452,500 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to
the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject
to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The underwriters did not receive any upfront underwriting discounts or commissions on the
2,079,000 Units purchased by the PIMCO private funds or their respective affiliates but will receive deferred underwriting commissions
with respect to such Units.

of the deferred underwriter fee in the accompanying condensed financial statements. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the
deferred underwriting fee payable is $4,226,250 and $8,452,500, respectively.

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preferred Stock
— The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation,
rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At September 30, 2022 and
December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A Common Stock
— The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 24,150,000 Class A common stock issued and outstanding, including 24,150,000 shares of Class
A common stock subject to possible redemption which are presented as temporary equity.
Class B Common Stock
— The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September
30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 6,037,500 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. Holders of Class B common
stock are entitled to one vote for each share. Prior to the Business Combination, only holders of shares of Class B common stock have
the right to vote on the election of directors.
Holders of Class A common
stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required
by law.
The
shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination on
a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are
issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination,
the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed
issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal,
in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion
of the Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in
connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued,
to any seller in a Business Combination, and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion
of loans made to the Company).
NOTE
8. WARRANT LIABILITIES
Public
Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only
whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 12 months from the closing of the Initial
Public Offering and (b) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the
completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation
to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class
A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying
its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of
Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered,
qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.
CLIMATE
REAL IMPACT SOLUTIONS II ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company has agreed that within twenty (20) business days after the later of the first date on which warrants are exercisable and the
date on which the Company receives from any warrant holder a request for such registration, the Company will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within forty-five (45)
business days after the filing of such registration statement and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class
A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if shares of the Class
A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy
the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option,
require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9)
of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration
statement, but it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the
extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise
of the warrants is not effective by the forty-fifth (45th) business day after the filing of such registration statement, warrant
holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed
to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9)
of the Securities Act or another exemption.
Redemption
of Warrants when the price per Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may
redeem the Public Warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
|
● |
in
whole but not in part; |
|
● |
at
a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
|
● |
upon
a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and |
|
● |
if,
and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending
three trading days before the Company sends to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (“Reference Value”) equals
or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted). |
If
and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register
or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
Redemption
of Warrants when the price per Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may
redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:
|
● |
in
whole but not in part; |
|
● |
at
$0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise
their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares, based on the redemption date and the fair
market value of the Class A common stock; |
|
● |
if,
and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted); and |
|
● |
if
the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also concurrently be called
for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above. |
The
exercise price and number of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances
including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described
below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally,
in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within
the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such
funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the
Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (the “Newly Issued Price”) (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from
such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination

cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The
Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that
the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will
not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited
exceptions, and will be entitled to certain registration rights (see Note 6). Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable
for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers
or their permitted transferees (except for a number of shares of Class A common stock as described above under Redemption of warrants
for Class A common stock). If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted
transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by such holders
on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
NOTE
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would
have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company
seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable
inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is
used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and
liabilities:
|
Level 1: |
Quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions
for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
|
Level 2: |
Observable
inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities
and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
Level 3: |
Unobservable
inputs based on an assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
At September 30, 2022, assets
held in the Trust Account were comprised of $242,670,400 in U.S. Treasury Bills. The assets held
in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities and matured on July 19, 2022. Through September 30, 2022,
the Company withdrew $365,815 of interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for taxes.
At December 31, 2021,
assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $241,511,431 in U.S. Treasury Bills. Through December 31, 2021, the Company did
not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for taxes.

The
Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities in the accompanying
condensed balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair
value presented within the change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed statements of operations.
The
Private Warrants were initially valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair
value measurement. The Modified Black Scholes model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the
Private Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of the Initial Public Offering date (10%)
was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. The
expected volatility as of subsequent valuation dates was implied from the Company’s own public warrant pricing. A Monte Carlo simulation
methodology was used in estimating the fair value of the public warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available,
using the same expected volatility as was used in measuring the fair value of the Private Warrants. For periods subsequent to the detachment
of the warrants from the Units, the close price of the public warrant price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

NOTE
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent
events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed financial statements were issued.
Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events other than as noted below that would have required adjustment
or disclosure in the condensed financial statements.
On October 27, 2022 and November
3, 2022, the Company filed preliminary proxy statements on Schedule 14A with the SEC and the Company intends to file a definitive proxy
statement with the SEC. The definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents will be sent or given to the Company’s stockholders
of as of the record date established for voting on a proposed amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and a proposed amendment (the “Trust Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement,
dated January 26, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, as trustee. The proposed Charter Amendment would change the date (which we refer to as 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 with one or more businesses or (ii) if the Company fails to complete such initial business combination,
cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, and, subject to and in accordance with the amended and restated certificate
of incorporation, redeem all shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The proposed Charter Amendment will change the Original
Termination Date from January 29, 2023 to the later of the date of the special meeting of stockholders or (y) the date of effectiveness
of the amendment to the Charter pursuant to the DGCL (such date, the “Amended Termination Date”). If the Amendment is approved,
the Company expects to complete a final redemption of shares of its Class A common stock on or prior to December 9, 2022. In
the event that stockholders approve the proposed Charter Amendment and the proposed Trust Amendment and the public shares are redeemed,
the Company’s warrants will expire worthless.
Following
the initial filing of the preliminary proxy statement with the SEC, on October 28, 2022, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”)
notified the Company, and publicly announced, that the NYSE determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s warrants
from the NYSE and that trading in the Company’s warrants would be suspended immediately, due to trading price levels pursuant to
Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. As a result of the expected expiration of the warrants described above, the Company
does not intend to appeal the NYSE’s determination.
