**EXPLANATORY NOTE** 

QuantumScape Corporation (the "Registrant") is filing this Registration Statement on Form 8-A in connection with the transfer of the listing of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class A Common Stock") from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"). The Registrant expects the listing and trading of its Class A Common Stock on the NYSE to cease at the close of trading on December 22, 2025, and that trading will begin on Nasdaq at market open on December 23, 2025.

**Item 1. Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.** 

The description of the Registrant's Class A Common Stock included in Exhibit 4.4 to the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (File No. 001-39345), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2022, is incorporated herein by reference, except that any reference to the NYSE is hereby amended to refer to Nasdaq.

**Item 2. Exhibits.** 

Pursuant to the Instructions as to Exhibits for Form 8-A, no exhibits are required to be filed, because no other securities of the Registrant are registered on Nasdaq, and the securities registered hereby are not being registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

------

**SIGNATURE** 

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereto duly authorized.
