CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the financial position, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, and any statements that refer to characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. These statements constitute projections, forecasts, and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this report, the words “could,” “should,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “seeks,” as well as the negative of such terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, those described below and under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in subsequent reports that we file with the SEC, including this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024:

•our ability to continue as a going concern;

•our ability to raise capital in the future;

•our ability to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market;

•the possibility that we may need to seek bankruptcy protection;

•our ability to successfully execute on potential strategic alternatives and avoid filing for bankruptcy;

•our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans;

•developments and projections relating to our competition and industry;

•our ability to execute our business model, including market acceptance of our planned products and services;

•our ability to execute our corporate restructuring and manage the associated headcount reduction;

•our ability to maintain or extend our technological innovation in hydrogen fuel cells, proton exchange membranes and membrane exchange assemblies;

•our business, expansion plans and opportunities;

•our ability to profitably expand into new markets;

•our ability to realize our projected timelines for the development of our business;

•our ability to retain or recruit, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;

•our ability to protect, defend, or enforce intellectual property on which we depend;

•our ability to implement our business plans and strategies;

•our ability to procure and/or supply hydrogen at competitive prices;

•our ability to obtain customers, obtain product orders, and convert our non-binding arrangements into binding orders or sales; and

•our ability to address other factors detailed in this report in the section entitled “Risk Factors”.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, beliefs, estimates, projections, intentions and strategies regarding future events and on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, beliefs, estimates, projections, intentions and strategies are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Actual results and timing of certain events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this report. You should consider these factors carefully in evaluating forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Hyzon Motors Inc. (“Hyzon” or the “Company”), headquartered in Bolingbrook, Illinois, is a hydrogen fuel cell system manufacturer and technology developer that is commercializing its proprietary heavy-duty (“HD”) fuel cell technology through assembling and upfitting HD hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks (“FCETs”) in the United States. In addition, Hyzon seeks to build and foster a clean hydrogen supply ecosystem with leading partners from feedstocks through production and dispensing.

Strategic Realignment

In June 2024, the Company announced that it had started realigning its strategic priorities to focus on the Company’s North American Class 8 and refuse truck markets and as a part of these efforts, the Company announced in July 2024 that it would wind down its operations in the Netherlands and Australia. Further in July 2024, the Company established a retention program that extends to a limited number of employees aligned with the new strategic priorities. See Note 4. Restructuring and Related Charges.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) pursuant to the requirements and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance refers to U.S. GAAP as found in U.S. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). Certain notes or other information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented. Results of operations reported for interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or any other periods.

Liquidity and Going Concern

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. GAAP and this basis assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of the uncertainties described below.

In accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company evaluates whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In accordance with ASC 205-40, the Company’s analysis can only include the potential mitigating impact of the plans that have not been fully implemented as of the issuance date of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements if (a) it is probable that these plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (b) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will alleviate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company has incurred net losses since inception. Net cash used in operating activities was $88.0 million and $112.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has $30.4 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, and $4.1 million in restricted cash. The Company incurred net losses of $41.3 million and $44.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company incurred net losses of $126.4 million and $134.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Accumulated deficit amounted to $369.0 million and $242.6 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company has concluded that at the time of this filing, substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern as the Company believes that its financial resources, existing cash resources, and additional sources of liquidity are insufficient to support planned operations beyond the next 12 months. We are also continuing to evaluate the need to pursue bankruptcy protection or other in-court relief if our financing efforts or other strategic alternatives are not successful.

To reduce the cash used in operating activities, the Company implemented certain cost savings initiatives, including a restructuring plan in July 2023, as further discussed in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, in June 2024, the Company announced that it had started realigning its strategic priorities to focus on the Company’s North American Class 8 and refuse truck markets and as a part of these efforts, the Company announced in July 2024 that it would wind down its operations in the Netherlands and Australia. While these plans are anticipated to reduce near term cash outflows when compared to prior periods, the Company’s continued existence is primarily dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing.

During the third quarter the Company raised $3.8 million net of fees and commissions under a registered direct offering and commenced an “at the market” equity offering program under which the Company has raised $4.8 million net of commissions through October 31, 2024 (see Note 15. Stockholders' Equity). The Company’s business will require significant additional funding to execute its long-term business plans notwithstanding its requirements for additional current funding. If the Company fails to raise additional funding in time or in a sufficient amount to meet its requirements, the Company may be required or compelled to pursue additional restructuring initiatives to preserve cash, working capital, and optionality, including pursuing bankruptcy protection or other in-court relief.

The Company seeks to continue to improve its liquidity through a combination of equity and/or debt financing, and alliances or other partnership agreements with entities interested in our technologies. If the Company raises funds in the future by issuing equity securities, additional dilution to stockholders will occur and may be substantial. During the third quarter of 2024 the Company increased the number of shares of its authorized Class A common stock to 20,000,000, and at the time of this filing is seeking shareholder approval to increase the number of shares of its authorized Class A common stock to 120,000,000. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of common stockholders. If the Company raises funds in the future by issuing debt securities, these debt securities could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of common stockholders. The terms of any debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on the Company’s operations. The capital markets have experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, periods of uncertainty that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing. In addition, federal fund rates set by the Federal Reserve, which serve as a benchmark for rates on borrowing, will continue to impact the cost of debt financing.

There can be no assurance that any such financing can be realized by the Company, or if realized, what the terms thereof may be, or that any amount that the Company is able to raise will be adequate to support the Company’s ongoing operations, working capital requirements, and/or fuel cell technology advancement. If the Company cannot increase its authorized shares and / or cannot raise additional funds when needed or on acceptable terms, its financial condition, business prospects, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected, and we may be required to pursue bankruptcy protection or other in-court relief. In addition, the Company is subject to, and may become a party to, a variety of litigation, other claims, suits, indemnity demands, regulatory actions, and government investigations and inquiries in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings, including the other claims described under Legal Proceedings in Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies, are inherently uncertain, and adverse judgments or settlements in some or all of these legal disputes may result in materially adverse monetary damages or injunctive relief against us, which may not be covered in full or in part by insurance.

Reclassifications

Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

Reverse stock split

On September 11, 2024 the Company effected a 1-for-50 reverse stock split. Unless otherwise indicated, the share and per share information in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the related footnotes are presented on a post-split basis for all periods presented.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Note 3. Revenue

The Company did not recognize revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The following table shows disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 (in thousands).


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2024						Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
	U.S.		Australia		China		Total		U.S.		Australia		China		Total





Revenue by region	$	134	$	—	$	—	$	134	$	901	$	8,474	$	1,056	$	10,430

Revenue represents product sales, leasing and other sources. Product sales are derived from the sales of the Company’s products and services including fuel cell systems, FCETs, parts, product support, and other related services. The majority of the product sales recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 relate to vehicle deployments that occurred in prior periods. Leasing revenue is generated from customer contracts when the end customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise the trade-in or buyback option at contract inception. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had deferred $1.0 million of upfront lease related payments, $0.4 million of which was recorded in Contract liabilities and $0.6 million of which was recorded in Other liabilities in the unaudited interim Consolidated Balance Sheets. The upfront lease related payments will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the individual lease term.

In 2022, the Company delivered a total of 82 FCETs to two customers in China. In consideration of the customers’ limited operating history and extended payment terms in their contracts, the Company determined the collectability criterion was not met with respect to contract existence under ASC 606 for these customers, and therefore, an alternative method of revenue recognition had been applied to each arrangement. In 2024, the Company entered into supplemental agreements with those Chinese customers. The supplemental agreements resulted in the payment of $1.1 million to the Company and the termination of the standard warranty obligations in the contracts. The $1.1 million was received by the Company in February 2024.

Contract Balances

Contract liabilities relate to the advance consideration invoiced or received from customers for products and services prior to satisfying a performance obligation or in excess of amounts allocated to a previously satisfied performance obligation.

The current portion of contract liabilities is recorded within Contract liabilities in the unaudited interim Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $0.5 million and $8.9 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The long-term portion of contract liabilities, including buyback liability, is recorded within Other liabilities in the unaudited interim Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $1.2 million and $3.0 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Note 4. Restructuring and Related Charges

In July 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved a restructuring plan (the “2023 Restructuring Program”) to improve operational effectiveness and cost reduction, including with respect to its workforce.

In connection with the 2023 Restructuring Program the Company evaluated long-lived assets for impairment at Hyzon Motors Europe B.V. (“Hyzon Europe”). The Company compared the carrying amount of the asset group comprising the long-lived assets to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. The estimated aggregate undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset group. An impairment charge of $4.6 million ($2.8 million of right-of-use asset and $1.8 million of property, plant and equipment, net) was recorded during the third quarter of 2023, which represents the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the assets, based on the expected discounted future cash flows attributable to those assets. The Company also incurred employee-related charges of $0.3 million including one-time severance payments as well as cash bonus and accelerated stock-based compensation.

In June 2024, the Company announced that it had started realigning its strategic priorities to focus on the Company’s North American Class 8 and refuse truck markets, and as a part of these efforts the Company announced in July 2024 that it would wind down its operations in the Netherlands and Australia (collectively, the “Strategic Realignment”).

In connection with the Strategic Realignment during the second and third quarters of 2024, the Company incurred restructuring and related charges consisting of (a) employee-related charges including severance, retention and stock-based compensation, (b) asset-related charges including impairments of property plant and equipment and right-of-use asset, and (c) other exit related costs including contract termination costs. The employee-related charges arise from the on-going benefit arrangements in the Netherlands and Australia which require accrual when the related payments are probable. The impairment related charges arise from the determination that triggering events had occurred in the Netherlands and Australia, and that the Company’s long-lived assets at those locations should be written down to fair value, which was generally salvage value.

Regarding the Strategic Realignment’s impact on the Netherlands operations, in July 2024, Hyzon Europe began negotiating directly with creditors in its effort to seek a consensual liquidation. As part of the consensual liquidation, during the third quarter of 2024 Hyzon Europe negotiated a cash-free settlement with its landlord and recognized a $2.1 million gain on the termination of the lease.

Regarding the Strategic Realignment’s impact on the Australian business, on July 10, 2024, Hyzon Australia appointed an insolvency administrator which (a) eliminated the authority and power of the Company and its officers and managing directors to act on behalf of the Australian business and (b) gave the administrator control over the assets and liabilities of the Australian business. The administrator then developed and secured creditor approval for a deed of company administration (DOCA) to implement the entity’s liquidation process. The liquidation process has commenced and is continuing. In connection with the loss of control of the Australian business during the third quarter of 2024, the Company recognized a gain on deconsolidation of $2.6 million.

In July 2024, in connection with the Strategic Realignment, the Company established a retention program that extends to a limited number of employees aligned with the new strategic priorities. Retention payments are being expensed over the respective service periods and the associated charges have been included in Restructuring and related charges.

In the U.S., the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Fulcrum Holdings LLC (the “Buyer”) to sell its Rochester, NY facility for $3.1 million. The sale closed and the Company moved its headquarters from Rochester, NY to Bolingbrook, IL in March 2024.

Restructuring and related charges consisted of the following (in thousands):

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $1.0 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recognized impairment charges related to its property, plant and equipment as more fully discussed below.

The Company recognized impairment charges of $11.1 million and $12.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, primarily related to property, plant and equipment impairment in the US. The Company recognized impairment charges of $1.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, related to restructuring in Hyzon Europe (see Note 4. Restructuring and Related Charges).

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization during the third quarter of 2024, along with continued substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (as more fully discussed in Note 1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation) resulted in the determination that a triggering event had occurred during the third quarter of 2024 and that a recoverability test for long-lived assets was appropriate.The required step one recoverability test resulted in estimation uncertainty regarding the ability to achieve future enterprise level positive undiscounted cash flows. As such, the Company prepared a step two impairment test for its long-lived assets. The Company used market approach models to estimate the fair value of individual long-lived assets, comparing the fair values to the net book values, and calculating the impairment charge. The net book value of long-lived assets exceeded their respective fair values as of September 30, 2024 and therefore the Company recognized impairment charges related to its property, plant and equipment of $11.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Note 9. Investments in Equity Securities

The Company owns common shares, participation rights, and options to purchase additional common shares in certain private companies. On a non-recurring basis, the carrying value is adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments in the same issuer or for an impairment.

The investment in equity securities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023 represents the equity investment in common shares and options of Raven SR, Inc. (“Raven”). In accordance with ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities (“ASC 321”), the investment in Raven does not have a readily determinable fair value and is measured at cost minus impairment, which requires the Company to evaluate on an ongoing basis whether the investment has been impaired based on qualitative factors.

As more fully discussed in Note 10. Equity Method Investments, the Company determined that the investment in Raven was fully impaired as of September 30, 2024 due to the investee’s financial condition, liquidity position, and access to capital resources. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $0.8 million impairment loss on equity securities within Impairment of investments in the unaudited interim Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The following table summarizes the total carrying value of held securities, measured as the total initial cost plus cumulative net gain (loss) (in thousands):

Note 10. Equity Method Investments

Raven SR S1 LLC

In December 2022, the Company, via its subsidiary, Hyzon Zero Carbon, Inc. (“HZCI”), entered into an agreement with Chevron and Raven, to invest in Raven SR S1 LLC (“Raven S1”). Raven S1 intends to develop, construct, operate and maintain a solid waste-to hydrogen generation production facility located in Richmond, California (the “Richmond Project”). The Company invested $8.5 million at closing, and the remaining $1.5 million is scheduled to be paid upon when construction of the facility is at least 50% complete and pre-commissioning activities have been initiated. The total $10.0 million investment represents approximately 20% ownership of Raven S1.

The Company’s equity method investment in Raven S1 does not have a readily determinable fair value. Such investments are evaluated for impairment when events and conditions occur that may have a significant adverse effect on the investment's fair value.

Although Raven and Raven S1 continue to seek additional sources of capital needed to fund their business activities, the Richmond Project has lacked sufficient funding for more than one year. The prospects of successfully attracting sufficient capital or obtaining the required permits and insurance to complete the Richmond Project remains uncertain. Based on these factors, along with uncertainty about Hyzon’s ability to realize any value on disposition of the investment or to hold its investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the completion of the Richmond Project and therefore any recovery of its investment , the Company determined that the investment was fully impaired and that such impairment was other than temporary as of September 30, 2024. Accordingly, the Company recognized an $8.4 million impairment on its equity method investment within Impairment of investments in the unaudited interim Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Note 11. Income Taxes

The Company recorded no income tax expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company assesses all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the amount of any required valuation allowance within each taxing jurisdiction. The Company continues to be in a net operating loss and net deferred tax asset position, before valuation allowances. Full valuation allowances have been established for the Company’s operations in all jurisdictions.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its positions. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by taxing authorities in the countries in which it operates since inception.

Note 12. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, a three-level hierarchy of measurements based upon observable and unobservable inputs is used to arrive at fair value. The Company uses valuation approaches that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

•Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

•Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate estimated fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):


	As of September 30, 2024

Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid financial instruments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less. As of September 30, 2024, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $75.3 million invested in certificates of deposit. The Company classifies its investments in certificates of deposit as Level 1.

July 2024 Warrants

As more fully described in Note 15. Stockholders' Equity, the Company issued warrants in connection with a registered direct offering. In accordance with ASC 815, the July 2024 Warrants (as defined herein) do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. The July 2024 Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, and accordingly the warrants are measured at fair value at inception and remeasured at each reporting date. The July 2024 Warrants include repricing rights which necessitates using a Monte-Carlo simulation model to measure fair value. The inputs into the Monte-Carlo pricing model included significant unobservable inputs. The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurement inputs as of September 30, 2024 and July 22, 2024 (the issuance date):


	September 30, 2024			July 22, 2024
Stock price	$	2.43		$	8.00
Exercise price (strike price)	$	2.85		$	15.00
Risk-free interest rate	3.6		%	4.2		%
Volatility	108.8		%	112.8		%
Remaining term (in years)	4.8			5.0

The Company recognized a $0.6 million loss on issuance of the July 2024 Warrants, due to the Company’s limited financing alternatives which are more fully described in the Liquidity and Going Concern matters described in Note 1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation. The loss was measured as follows:


	July 2024 Warrants
Gross proceeds at issuance	$	4,498
Fair value at issuance	5,065
Loss on issuance	$	(567)

The following table presents that changes in the liability for July 2024 Warrants from the issuance date to September 30, 2024.

Balance as of July 22, 2024	$	5,065
Change in estimated fair value	(232)
Balance as of September 30, 2024	$	4,833

Earnout to Common Stockholders

The fair value of the earnout shares was estimated by utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation model. The inputs into the Monte-Carlo pricing model included significant unobservable inputs. The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurement inputs:


	September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Stock price	$	2.43		$	44.75
Risk-free interest rate	3.7		%	4.1		%
Volatility	131.2		%	91.0		%
Remaining term (in years)	1.79			2.54

The following table presents the changes in the liabilities for Private Placement Warrants and Earnout for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (in thousands):


	Private Placement Warrants		Earnout
Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	160	$	1,725
Change in estimated fair value	—		(1,720)
Balance as of September 30, 2024	$	160	$	5

The Company performs routine procedures such as comparing prices obtained from independent sources to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to, and may become a party to, a variety of litigation, other claims, suits, indemnity demands, regulatory actions, and government investigations and inquiries in the ordinary course of business. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and as to whether such loss or a range of such loss is estimable, often involves significant judgment about future events, and the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. The Company accrues for matters when we believe that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2024, the Company accrued $0.6 million in Accrued liabilities for customer and supplier disputes. In addition, the Company accrued $17.1 million related to the resolution of the SEC investigation, of which $8.8 million is recorded in Accrued liabilities and $8.3 million in Accrued SEC settlement. As of December 31, 2023, the Company accrued $0.5 million in Accrued liabilities for a customer dispute. In addition, the Company accrued $25.0 million related to the resolution of the SEC investigation, of which $17.0 million is recorded in Accrued liabilities and $8.0 million in Accrued SEC settlement.

Other than the SEC and Worthington matters described below, the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance, the assessments are based on the Company’s knowledge and information available at the time; thus, the ultimate outcome of any matter could require payment substantially in excess of the amount being accrued and/or disclosed. The Company is party to current legal proceedings as discussed more fully below.

Shareholder Securities and Derivative Litigation

Three related putative securities class action lawsuits were filed between September 30, 2021 and November 15, 2021, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York against the Company, certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors and certain former officers and directors of Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation (“DCRB”) (Kauffmann v. Hyzon Motors Inc., et al. (No. 21- cv-06612-CJS), Brennan v. Hyzon Motors Inc., et al. (No. 21-cv-06636-CJS), and Miller v. Hyzon Motors Inc. et al. (No. 21-cv-06695-CJS)), asserting violations of federal securities laws. The complaints generally allege that the Company and individual defendants made materially false and misleading statements relating to the nature of the Company’s customer contracts, vehicle orders, and sales and earnings projections, based on allegations in a report released on September 28, 2021, by Blue Orca Capital, an investment firm that indicated that it held a short position in the Company’s stock and which has made numerous allegations about the Company. These lawsuits were consolidated under the caption In re Hyzon Motors Inc. Securities Litigation (Case No. 6:21-cv-06612-CJS-MWP), and on March 21, 2022, the court-appointed lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint seeking monetary damages. The Company and individual defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on May 20, 2022, and the court-appointed lead plaintiff filed its opposition to the motion on July 19, 2022. The court-appointed lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on March 21, 2022, and a second amended complaint on September 16, 2022. Briefing regarding the Company and individual defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss the second amended complaint was stayed pending a non-binding mediation among the parties, which took place on May 9, 2023. The parties did not reach a settlement during the May 9, 2023 mediation. On June 20, 2023, the court granted the lead plaintiff leave to file a third amended complaint, which was filed on June 23, 2023. The third amended complaint added additional claims. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on September 13, 2023, and DCRB and former DCRB officers, directors, and its sponsor filed a motion to dismiss on the same day. The lead plaintiff filed oppositions to the motions to dismiss on October 25, 2023, and defendants filed a reply on November 22, 2023. The parties are awaiting a ruling from the court.

Between December 16, 2021, and January 14, 2022, three related shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York (Lee v. Anderson et al. (No. 21-cv-06744-CJS), Révész v. Anderson et al. (No. 22-cv-06012-CJS), and Shorab v. Anderson et al. (No. 22-cv-06023-CJS)). These three lawsuits have been consolidated under the caption In re Hyzon Motors Inc. Derivative Litigation (Case No. 6:21-cv-06744-CJS). On February 2, 2022, a similar stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Yellets v. Gu et al. (No. 22-cv-00156)). On February 3, 2022, a similar shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County (Ruddiman v. Anderson et al. (No. 503402/2022)). On February 13, 2023, a similar stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery (Kelley v. Knight et al. (C.A. No. 2023-0173)). These lawsuits name as defendants certain of the Company’s current and former directors and certain former directors of DCRB, along with the Company as a nominal defendant, and generally allege that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by making or failing to prevent the misrepresentations alleged in the consolidated securities class action, and assert claims for violations of federal securities laws, breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and/or waste of corporate assets. These lawsuits generally seek equitable relief and monetary damages. Each of the shareholder derivative actions has been stayed or the parties have jointly requested that it be stayed pending a decision regarding the anticipated motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities class action.

On March 18, 2022, a putative class action complaint, Malork v. Anderson et al. (C.A. No. 2022-0260- KSJM) (“Malork”), was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against certain officers and directors of DCRB, DCRB’s sponsor, and certain investors in DCRB’s sponsor, alleging that the director defendants and controlling stockholders of DCRB’s sponsor breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the merger between DCRB and Legacy Hyzon. The complaint seeks equitable relief and monetary damages. On May 26, 2022, the defendants in this case moved to dismiss the complaint. On August 2, 2022, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on August 15, 2022. Briefing on the motion to dismiss is now complete, and oral argument occurred on April 21, 2023. On July 17, 2023, the Delaware Court of Chancery denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint. In August 2023, the plaintiff in Malork subpoenaed Hyzon for various documentation in connection with the litigation against the named defendants. In December 2023, the Company paid $1.5 million dollars in legal fees on behalf of the named individual defendants pursuant to an indemnity agreement between DCRB and the named individual defendants. The Company does not expect to incur further legal fees in connection with the indemnity agreement.

On August 5, 2024, Hyzon was served by the plaintiff in Malork with a Second Amended Complaint naming the Company and its former CEO, Craig Knight, as additional defendants (individually and collectively, the “Legacy Hyzon Defendants”). The Second Amended Complaint alleges new claims that the Legacy Hyzon Defendants aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty alleged against the originally named Malork defendants. The Company will defend itself in this litigation. The Company is obligated to defend and indemnify or assume the defense of Craig Knight in this litigation given his role as a former officer and director of the Company. On July 31, 2024, the plaintiff and the originally named defendants reached a tentative mediated settlement. The Legacy Hyzon Defendants are not parties to this settlement and remain as defendants.

Between January 26, 2022 and August 22, 2022, Hyzon received demands for books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law from four stockholders who state they are investigating whether to file similar derivative or stockholder lawsuits, among other purposes. On May 31, 2022, one of these four stockholders represented that he had concluded his investigation and did not intend to file a complaint. On November 18, 2022, a second of the four stockholders filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery (Abu Ghazaleh v. Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Sponsor, LLC et al. (C.A. No. 2022-1050)), which was voluntarily dismissed shortly thereafter on December 1, 2022. On February 13, 2023, a third of these four stockholders filed a derivative lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery (Kelley v. Knight et al. (C.A. No. 2023-0173)). The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and generally alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by making or failing to prevent misrepresentations including those alleged in the consolidated securities class action and the report released by Blue Orca Capital. As with the previously filed stockholder derivative lawsuits, the complaint seeks equitable relief and monetary damages. On April 17, 2023, the Court entered an order staying this action pending a decision on the anticipated motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities class action.

On April 18, 2023, the Company received a demand for books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law from a stockholder seeking to investigate possible breaches of fiduciary duty or other misconduct or wrongdoing by the Company's controlling stockholder, Hymas Pte. Ltd. (“Hymas”), Hyzon's Board of Directors (the "Board") and/or certain members of Hyzon's senior management team in connection with the Company's entrance into (i) an equity transfer agreement (the “Equity Transfer”) with certain entities affiliated with the Company, and (ii) the share buyback agreement with the Hymas (the “Share Buyback” and, together with the Equity Transfer, the “Transactions”) as reported by the Company in its Form 8-K filed on December 28, 2022. No further developments have occurred since the shareholder’s demand.

Litigation Involving Former Officers and Directors

On June 14, 2024, the Company received a complaint and demand for arbitration from counsel for Craig Knight, the Company’s former CEO. Mr. Knight asserts that the Company breached his employment agreement by failing to pay him severance, a bonus, and a long term (equity) incentive. The Company’s Board of Directors ultimately determined in January 2023 that Craig Knight’s termination was “for cause” as disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on February 1, 2023. The Company believes Mr. Knight’s claims are without merit and will vigorously defend itself against them.

The above proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters or estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss, if any at this time.

Government Investigations

On September 26, 2023, the Company announced a final resolution, subject to court approval, of the SEC’s investigation. On that date, the SEC filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York naming the Company, Craig Knight, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and a former director, and Max C.B. Holthausen, a former managing director of the Company’s European subsidiary, Hyzon Europe, as defendants. Without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC’s complaint, the Company consented to the entry of a final judgment, subject to court approval, that would permanently restrain and enjoin the Company from violating certain sections of and rules under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, and would require the Company to pay a civil penalty of $25.0 million as follows: $8.5 million within 30 days of entry of the final judgment; (2) $8.5 million by December 31, 2024; and (3) $8.0 million by January 15, 2026. Mr. Knight and Mr. Holthausen also separately consented to the entry of final judgments, subject to court approval, resolving the SEC’s allegations. On January 16, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York entered the final judgment as to the Company, and on January 17, 2024 entered the final judgments as to Mr. Knight and Mr. Holthausen, concluding this litigation. The Company paid the first tranche of $8.5 million in January 2024 and accrues interest on unpaid amounts due after 30 days of the entry of the final judgment at a rate equal to the weekly average 1-year constant maturity Treasury yield, as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Customer and Supplier Disputes

On July 28, 2023, Worthington Industries Poland SP.Z.O.O, a Hyzon Europe supplier (“Worthington”), filed a complaint in the Amsterdam District Court in the Netherlands, against Hyzon Europe for breach of contract and obtained an attachment covering Hyzon Europe’s bank accounts. Accordingly, $1.2 million included in those Hyzon Europe's bank accounts are recorded as restricted cash in the unaudited interim Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2024. The complaint sought damages from Hyzon Europe totaling approximately Euro €4.6 million (approximately $5.1 million in USD). On September 18, 2024, the parties agreed to settle this matter without admitting liability, with Worthington agreeing to dismiss its complaint and release its attachment, and with Hyzon agreeing to pay Worthington Euro €0.5 million (approximately $0.6 million in USD).

In connection with the voluntary administration of Hyzon Australia, certain Hyzon Australia customers and its former landlord have filed or threatened actions seeking to enforce performance guarantees or have tendered demands on bank guarantees made by the Company or its subsidiary, Hyzon Motors USA Inc., the direct shareholder of Hyzon Australia. One such action is a lawsuit filed on September 12, 2024 in the Supreme Court of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, by Ark Energy H2 Pty Ltd.(“Ark Energy”) against our subsidiary, Hyzon Motors USA Inc., seeking damages of $2.3 million plus interest and costs pursuant to a parent guarantee dated September 23, 2021 that Hyzon Motors USA Inc. issued to Ark Energy in connection with a vehicle supply agreement entered into effective August 30, 2021 between Hyzon Australia and Ark Energy. Ark Energy’s lawsuit claims that Hyzon Australia breached this agreement. Hyzon Motors USA Inc. intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit. Also in connection with Hyzon Australia’s voluntary liquidation, on or about September 11, 2024, RACV, Hyzon Australia’s landlord, tendered a demand for payment totaling $0.6 million under a bank guarantee made by Hyzon Motors USA Inc. to RACV, claiming that Hyzon Australia breached the terms of a lease agreement allegedly entered into by Hyzon Australia. RACV has collected under this bank guarantee. Hyzon denies RACV’s claims and is evaluating possible legal action to recover funds paid to RACV under this bank guarantee. The Company has also received a demand from a Hyzon Australia customer seeking to enforce the terms of a parent guarantee that the Company issued pursuant to a vehicle supply agreement between Hyzon Australia and the customer. The demand totals AUD A$0.3 million (approximately $0.2 million in USD). The Company is disputing this claim.

Regardless of outcome, such proceedings or claims can have an adverse impact on the Company because of legal defense and settlement costs, the Company’s obligations to indemnify third parties, diversion of resources, and other factors, and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained. Other than the matters disclosed above, based on the nature of these cases, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these currently outstanding customer and supplier dispute matters or estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss, if any.

Note 15. Stockholders' Equity

Registered direct offering

On July 22, 2024, the Company closed an offering pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into with certain investors. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued in a registered direct offering an aggregate of (i) 450,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 450,000 shares of Class A common stock (the “July 2024 Warrants”). The offering price per share of Class A common stock and accompanying July 2024 Warrant was $10.00 per share, and the net proceeds to the Company from the Offering was approximately $3.8 million. The July 2024 Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance at an exercise price of $15.00 per share and have a term of five years from the date of issuance. Upon the completion of the reverse stock split on September 11, 2024 (a) the exercise price of the July 2024 Warrants was reset to $2.85 and (b) the number of shares issuable under the July 2024 Warrants was adjusted from 450,000 to 2,368,421.

The July 2024 Warrants contain repricing provisions that require the exercise price to be reset whenever the Company issues or sells common stock at a price below the then existing exercise price of the July 2024 Warrants. In addition, certain fundamental transactions, such as a change in control, permit the warrant holders to settle the July 2024 Warrants for cash in an amount determined by applying the Black-Scholes pricing model. Further, so long as the July 2024 Warrants are outstanding, the Company is prohibited from entering into certain variable rate transactions where the Company issues or sells debt or equity securities that are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for additional shares of Class A common stock.

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company sold shares of common stock in its at the market program such that as of November 1, 2024 the July 2024 Warrants have an exercise price of $1.66.
