Ms. Palmer has committed to serving on the Pubco Board and the Pubco Compensation Committee through the consummation of the Business Combination and thereafter until the effective date of her resignation.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

This communication relates to the proposed Business Combination involving TLG and Electriq. This communication may be deemed to be solicitation material in respect of the proposed Business Combination. The proposed Business Combination has been submitted to TLG’s stockholders for their consideration. In connection with the proposed Business Combination, TLG has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”), in which a joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus (“Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus”) was included. The information in the Form S-4 may be changed. TLG also intends to file other relevant documents with the SEC regarding the proposed Business Combination. The Form S-4 has been declared effective by the SEC and the definitive Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus is being mailed to TLG’s stockholders in connection with TLG’s solicitation of proxies for the vote of TLG’s stockholders, and Electriq’s stockholders in connection with Electriq’s solicitation of written consent, in connection with the proposed Business Combination and other matters as described in such Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus, and serves as the prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to Electriq’s stockholders in connection with the completion of the proposed Business Combination.
