All 333,804 options to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock are exercisable within 60 days of November 25, 2020. 959,689 options to purchase shares of Class A Common stock are exercisable within 60 days of November 25, 2020. The remaining 41,725 options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock vest evenly on February 1, March 1, and April 1, 2021, subject to Timothy Holmes continued service through each vesting date. 1/6th of Timothy Holmes restricted stock units vest on February 15, 2021 and 1/12th vest quarterly thereafter. In the event of a change in control, if Timothy Holmes employment is terminated by the Issuer without cause or if Timothy Holme is constructively terminated within six months following such event, then 50% of any unvested shares shall immediately vest.

(2)	Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock.

(3)

Based on the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by Timothy Holme by (b) the sum of (i) 189,469,223 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of November 25, 2020, as reported in the Issuers Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 2, 2020, (ii) 13,484,992 shares of Class B common stock, (iii) 333,804 shares of Class B common stock issuable upon exercise of options, (iv) 1,001,414 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of options and (v) 402,176 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units. The aggregate number of shares of Class B common stock beneficially owned by Timothy Holme as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this footnote are treated as converted into Class A common stock only for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of Timothy Holme.

(4)

Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes. There were 158,271,287 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of November 25, 2020, as reported in the Issuers Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 2, 2020, including the 13,484,992 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and owned by Timothy Holme as set forth in footnote (1) above.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

All of the shares of common stock reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person were acquired pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2020 by and among QuantumScape Corporation, a Delaware corporation (f/k/a Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. (KCAC)) (the Issuer), Kensington Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of KCAC (Merger Sub), and QuantumScape Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a QuantumScape Corporation) (Legacy QuantumScape) (as it may be amended from time to time, the Business Combination Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between the Issuer and Legacy QuantumScape was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy QuantumScape, with Legacy QuantumScape surviving as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer (the Merger and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination). The Business Combination closed on November 25, 2020 (the Closing).

At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, each share of Legacy QuantumScape Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and each share of the Legacy QuantumScape Preferred Stock that was convertible into a share of Legacy QuantumScape Class A common stock, was canceled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of the Issuers Class A Common Stock equal to 4.02175014920 (the Exchange Ratio), and each share of Legacy QuantumScape Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and each share of the Legacy QuantumScape Preferred Stock that was convertible into a share of Legacy QuantumScape Class B common stock was canceled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares the Issuers Class B Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the Class B Common Stock, and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the Common Stock) equal to the Exchange Ratio.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised warrant (Legacy QuantumScape Warrant) to purchase shares of Legacy QuantumScape capital stock was automatically converted into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock (such warrant, the Exchanged Warrant) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Legacy QuantumScape common stock subject to such Legacy QuantumScape Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Legacy QuantumScape Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Warrant continued to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Legacy QuantumScape Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Each option to purchase shares of Legacy QuantumScape common stock (a Legacy QuantumScape Option) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock that the Legacy QuantumScape Option covered (such option, an Exchanged Option) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Legacy QuantumScape Common Stock subject to such Legacy QuantumScape Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Legacy QuantumScape Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided in the Business Combination Agreement, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Option continued to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Legacy QuantumScape Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Each share of restricted stock granted under Legacy QuantumScapes option plans or acquired via the early exercise of Legacy QuantumScapes options, immediately prior to the Closing (Legacy QuantumScape Restricted Stock) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into restricted shares of the applicable class of Common Stock that the pre-conversion Legacy QuantumScape Restricted Stock covered (such share of restricted Common Stock, an Exchanged Restricted Stock) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares subject to a Legacy QuantumScape Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Restricted Stock continued be governed by the same terms and conditions (including transfer restrictions and repurchase right terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Legacy QuantumScape Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Each outstanding restricted stock unit granted by Legacy QuantumScape, immediately prior to the Closing under Legacy QuantumScape option plans or otherwise (Legacy QuantumScape RSU) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into a restricted stock unit of the applicable class of Common Stock that the pre-conversion Legacy QuantumScape RSU covered (such restricted stock unit award covering Common Stock, an Exchanged RSU) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Legacy QuantumScape RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged RSU continued to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including transfer restrictions and repurchase right terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Legacy QuantumScape RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the obligation to purchase shares of Legacy QuantumScapes Series F Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Legacy QuantumScape Series F Preferred Stock), upon satisfaction of certain milestones, if still outstanding, became an obligation to purchase, upon satisfaction of the milestones, shares of Class A Common Stock equal in number to the shares of Class A Common Stock that would have been issued in the Merger in exchange for such shares of Legacy QuantumScape Series F Preferred Stock if such shares of Legacy QuantumScape Series F Preferred Stock had been outstanding prior to the Merger.

Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, the Issuer will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain shares of Common Stock held by the Holders after the Closing. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement and subject to certain requirements and customary conditions, including with regard to the number of demand rights that may be exercised, the Holders may demand at any time or from time to time, that the Issuer file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or on Form S-1 if Form S-3 is not available) to register the securities of the Issuer held by such Holders, and the Issuer is separately required at all times to maintain an effective resale registration statement for the benefit of the Holders. The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement will also provide the Holders with piggy-back registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement further provides for the securities of the Issuer held by the Holders to be locked-up for a period of time following the Closing, as described below, subject to certain exceptions. The securities held by the Sponsor will be locked-up for one year following the Closing, subject to earlier release if (i) the reported last sale price of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing or (ii) if the Issuer consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Closing which results in all of the Issuers stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property. The securities held by the New Holders will be locked-up for 180 days after the Closing, subject to earlier release if (i) the reported last sale price of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing or (ii) the Issuer consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Closing which results in all of the Issuers stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreement

On September 2, 2020, KCAC entered into separate Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreements with certain senior level employees of Legacy QuantumScape, including Legacy QuantumScapes executive officers (the Senior Employees). The Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreements provide that the securities of the Issuer owned of record or beneficially by the Senior Employees (including certain securities that may be granted or issued to a Senior Employee after the Effective Time) (collectively, the Lock-Up Shares) may generally not be transferred for at least 180 days after the Closing (the Initial Lock-Up Period) and up to four years after the Closing, subject to certain exceptions. Following the Initial Lock-Up Period, Senior Employees may transfer Lock-Up Shares without restriction as follows: (i) during the first year after the Effective Time, up to 25% of the total number of Lock-Up Shares, (ii) following the first anniversary of the Effective Time until the earlier of four years after the Closing or the occurrence of an event described below, up to 50% of the total number of Lock-Up Shares (taking into account any transfers under clause (i) above), and (iii) up to an additional 50% of the total number of Lock-Up Shares following satisfaction of agreed delivery requirements between Legacy QuantumScape and Volkswagen Group of America Investments, LLC (VGA).

These transfer restrictions are subject to earlier release if (i) the Issuer completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Closing that results in all of the Issuers stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property; (ii) VGA terminates for any reason the Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2020, by and among Legacy QuantumScape and VGA; (iii) VGA issues a critical or negative statement regarding the Issuer and its technology unless such statement is required to be made by VGA under applicable law and is truthful and accurate; or (iv) VGA transfers certain Issuer securities in excess of the amounts set forth in the Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreements. The Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreements also provide that, upon consummation of the Merger, the Issuer or Legacy QuantumScape shall pay to each Senior Employee a one-time cash bonus equal to 20% of the Senior Employees then annual base salary.
