Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 13, 2022, on December 13, 2022, Quanergy Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition (Case No. 22-11305) for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (such court, the “Bankruptcy Court” and such case, the “Case”).

On March 20, 2023, the Company filed its monthly operating report with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the period beginning February 01, 2023 and ending February 28, 2023 (the “Monthly Operating Report”). The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Note Regarding the Monthly Operating Report

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any Company securities. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report was not reviewed by independent accountants, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment. The financial information in the Monthly Operating Report is not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and, therefore, may exclude items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, valuations and disclosures. The Monthly Operating Report also relates to a period that is different from the historical periods required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Cautionary Note Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities

The Company cautions that trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the Case is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Case. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “project,” “will likely result” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this press release, are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the anticipated process for the approval of, and solicitation of votes for, the Purchase Agreement and the Asset Sale. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: risks and uncertainties associated with the Case; the risk that the Company will likely not be able to continue as a going concern and holders of its common stock could suffer a total loss of their investment; risk related to trading in the Company’s common stock and warrants during the pendency of the Case, which is highly speculative and poses substantial risks; the risk that the Company’s equity securities will be canceled or that holders of such equity will not receive any distribution with respect to, or be able to recover any portion of, their investments; the risk that if the Company is not able to obtain confirmation of a Plan, it could be required to liquidate under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the overall level of consumer demand for the Company’s products; general economic conditions and other factors affecting consumer confidence, preferences, and behavior; disruption and volatility in the global currency, capital, and credit markets; the financial strength of the Company’s customers; the Company’s ability to implement its business strategy; changes in governmental regulation, the Company’s exposure to litigation claims and other loss contingencies; disruptions and other impacts to the Company’s business, as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic and government actions and restrictive measures implemented in response; stability of the Company’s suppliers and the impact of supply chain constraints, as well as consumer demand for its products; the impact that global climate change trends may have on the Company and its suppliers and customers; the Company’s ability to protect patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights; any breaches of, or interruptions in, the Company’s information systems; fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of electricity and other raw materials and contracted products as well as foreign currency fluctuations; the Company’s ability to utilize potential net operating loss carryforwards; changes in tax laws and liabilities, tariffs, legal, regulatory, political and economic risks; and other risks and uncertainties indicated in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including under the “Risk Factors” heading of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views only as of the date of this press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these

forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, except as required by law.
