**Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.**

The management of Nuvve Holding Corp (the "Company") has re-evaluated its accounting for the issuance of warrants to Stonepeak Rocket Holdings LP and Evolve Transition Infrastructure LP (collectively "Stonepeak and Evolve") issued during the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 and the related deferred financing costs. Also, the Company has re-evaluated its accounting for the issuance of warrants to an accredited investor during the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 in connection with a securities purchase agreement.

The Company concluded that unvested warrants issued to Stonepeak and Evolve on May 17, 2021 should have been accounted for as a single unit of account as opposed to multiple units of account. As a single unit of account, the unvested warrants' settlement value is impacted by the amount of capital expenditures associated with Levo's customer contracts, which caused the unvested warrants to not be indexed to the Company's equity (Levo is a consolidated entity of the Company). As a result, the value of these unvested warrants, which were previously recorded in equity in the amount of $8.0 million, are required to be reclassified as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $8.0 million for the Affected Periods (as defined below), with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also concluded that it should have expensed the financing costs that were originally deferred and record the related impact on non-controlling interest. These $46.8 million financing costs represented the fair value of warrants and stock option (collectively, the "Instruments") granted to Stonepeak and Evolve in May 2021 in return for their planned subsequent capital commitment to fund up to $750 million in V2G enabled EV fleet deployments of school buses through Levo. The Company has determined it should have recognized such amount as an expense during the year ended December 31, 2021, as it concluded that there was not sufficient basis to record deferred financing costs associated with Stonepeak and Evolve's plans to contribute capital to the Levo venture. The recognition of expense based on the fair value of the Instruments issued does not impact the expectation that Stonepeak and Evolve may make future capital contributions or the pursuit of customer deployments funded by such capital agreement. The Company also concluded that unrelated warrants issued to an institutional/accredited investor during the third quarter of 2022 which were recorded in equity in the amount of $2.7 million should have been recorded to liabilities at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $2.7 million, with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations because the warrants were deemed not to be indexed to the Company's equity. The changes resulting from these matters are non-cash.

The Company also concluded that associated income tax expense or benefit and related deferred tax assets or liabilities must also be adjusted including the impact of valuation allowance, due to the aforementioned accounting changes.

As a result of the foregoing, on March 24, 2023 the Company's management and the audit committee of the Company's board of directors (the "Audit Committee") concluded that the Company's previously issued (i) unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2021; (ii) unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on November 12, 2021; (iii) audited annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 31, 2022; (iv) unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 12, 2022; (v) unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on August 11, 2022; and (vi) unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022 (collectively, the "Affected Periods") should no longer be relied upon and that it is appropriate to restate the Company's financial statements for all of the Affected Periods. As such, the Company intends to restate its consolidated financial statements for all of the Affected Periods as soon as practicable. The Company will file an amended Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and amended Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 which will include the restated consolidated financial statements for all of the Affected Periods.

The restatement will not have any impact on the Company's cash position, current assets, current liabilities, revenues or operating expenses. The Company's management has concluded that a material weakness existed, and continues to exist, in the Company's internal control over financial reporting to address the accounting of complex financial instruments during the Affected Periods and subsequent periods, including for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company's remediation plan with respect to such material weakness will be described in more detail in Item 9A Controls and Procedures of From 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Audit Committee and Company management have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with Deloitte and Touche, LLP, the Company's current independent registered public accounting firm. The Company management

have also discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with Moss Adams, LLP, the Company's former independent registered public accounting firm.
