**Forward-Looking Statements** 

Certain information in this press release may be considered "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, including, without limitation, statements regarding QuantumScape's anticipated transfer of its Class A Common Stock listing to Nasdaq, the expected timing of such transfer, and the anticipated benefits of the transition. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations, assumptions, hopes, beliefs, intentions and strategies regarding future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, including due to the building out of processes to scale solid-state battery production, the achievement of the speed, quality, consistency, reliability, safety, cost and throughput required for developing products for commercialization, changes in economic and financial conditions, and other factors, including those discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and Quarterly Reports and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the company disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements.
