September 2, 2020, with Kensington Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KCAC (“Merger Sub”), and QuantumScape Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the

or (iii) such date on which KCAC completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of KCAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of KCAC Common Stock for cash, securities or
