As previously reported on July 7, 2022, 58,586,695 of the Class B-1 Common Stock were surrendered and transferred to the Company in connection with a redemption by Siemens Industry, Inc. pursuant to the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Fluence Energy, LLC (the “LLC Agreement”) with respect to its entire holding of 58,586,695 common units of Fluence Energy, LLC, the sole direct subsidiary of the Company, which the Company elected to settle through the issuance of 58,586,695 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share ("Class A Common Stock").

The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that any shares of Class B-1 Common Stock transferred and surrendered to the Company shall automatically be cancelled and retired and such shares shall not be re-issued by the Company.
Effective upon filing, the Certificate of Retirement amended the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to reduce the total authorized number of shares of capital stock of the Company by 65,674,195 shares.
