Item 8.01. Other Events.

On December 17, 2021, Battery Future Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 34,500,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 4,500,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $345,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private placement of an aggregate of 16,300,000 Warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) and 3,051,111 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Founder Shares”) to Battery Future Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), Pala Investments Limited (“Pala”), Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $16,300,000 (the “Private Placement”). No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The Private Placement was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In the Private Placement, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 9,445,000 Private Placement Warrants, Pala purchased an aggregate of 3,095,000 Private Placement Warrants and 2,751,111 Founder Shares, Cantor purchased an aggregate of 2,760,000 Private Placement Warrants and Roth purchased an aggregate of 1,000,000 Private Placement Warrants and 300,000 Founder Shares.

A total of $351,900,000 of the proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
