The Private Placement closed on October 31, 2024, and resulted in gross proceeds to the Company before expenses of $3,375,000.01.

Nuvve’s Chief Executive Officer, Gregory Poilasne, participated as an Investor in the Private Placement for a total investment of $250,000.

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and have an 18-month maturity, subject to an additional six-month extension in certain circumstances as provided therein. The Notes will be convertible into up to an aggregate of 1,102,295 shares of Nuvve’s common stock at the conversion price equal to $3.402 per share of common stock, which represented a 10% discount to the closing price of Nuvve’s common stock immediately prior to the closing of the Private Placement, subject to adjustment as further specified in the Notes. The principal and accrued interest on the Notes are payable in 15 equal monthly installments commencing on February 28, 2025, and may be paid, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof. In addition, the Investors have the right to purchase up to an aggregate of $12.5 million in additional principal amount of the Notes and accompanying Warrants, subject to the terms set forth in the definitive agreement.

As part of the Private Placement, Nuvve also issued Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,102,295 shares of Nuvve’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $3.78 per share, subject to adjustments, exercisable for five years from the date of issuance.
