Supplement to Definitive Proxy Statement regarding Special Meeting of Shareholders on January 15, 2025 The Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Nauticus Robotics, Inc. (the "Company") has approved an additional Proposal 4 (the "Supplement") in the Company's definitive proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 25, 2024 regarding the Special Meeting (the "Special Meeting") scheduled for January 15, 2025. This Supplement is being filed with the SEC on or about December 20, 2024. The purpose of the Supplement is to request shareholder approval to increase the number of shares of authorized Common Stock from 625,000,000 to 5,000,000,000. Proposal 4 is hereby added to the agenda of the Special Meeting to read as follows After careful consideration, the Board has adopted, declared advisable and directed that there be submitted to the stockholders at the Special Meeting a proposed amendment (the "Authorized Share Amendment") of our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter") to increase the number of shares of authorized Common Stock from 625,000,000 to 5,000,000,000. Background Article IV of our Charter currently authorizes the Company to issue up to 625,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share ("Preferred Stock"). As of November 4, 2024, 6,406,137 shares of Common Stock were issued, including no shares held as treasury shares, with warrants outstanding to purchase up to an aggregate of 545,419 shares of Common Stock (which number includes 106,530 shares underlying the SPA Warrants (as defined in Proposal 1), 74,297 shares underlying the September Term Loan Agreement (as defined in Proposal 1), 10,995,098 shares underlying the New Debentures (as defined in Proposal 1), options, earnout shares and restricted stock units outstanding to acquire up to an aggregate of 358,198 shares of Common Stock, and approximately 247,992 shares of Common Stock reserved for possible future issuance pursuant to the remaining authorized and unissued stock awards under the Company's equity incentive plans. The adoption of the proposed Authorized Shares Amendment would provide for an additional 4,375,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock for future issuance, which would bring the aggregate total of authorized shares of capital stock to 5,010,000,000, composed of 5,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Authorized Shares Amendment amends and restates the first sentence of Article IV of our Charter in its entirety to read as follows The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The total number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 5,010,000,000. The total number of shares of Common Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is 5,000,000,000, having a par value of $0.0001 per share, and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is 10,000,000, having a par value of $0.0001 per share.
