The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,900,376 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
On February 8, 2021, the Company entered into a business combination agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with DCRB Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and Hyzon Motors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Hyzon”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Legacy Hyzon (the “Merger,” together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Proposed Transactions”), with Legacy Hyzon surviving the Merger as our wholly owned subsidiary. The parties completed the Proposed Transactions on July 16, 2021 following the Company’s stockholders approval of the Proposed Transactions on July 15, 2021.

filed with the SEC on July 16, 2021 for additional information.
In connection with the Business Combination, certain of DCRB’s purported stockholders filed lawsuits against DCRB and its directors asserting claims for breaches of fiduciary duty:
Lanctot v. Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corp. et al
., Index No. 652070/2021 (N.Y. Sup. Ct., N.Y. Cnty.) and
Pham v. Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corp. et al
., Case No. 21-CIV-01928 (Cal. Sup. Ct., San Mateo Cnty.). These complaints allege that the DCRB board members breached their fiduciary duties by in connection with the merger by allegedly agreeing to the transaction following an inadequate process and at an unfair price, and by allegedly disseminating inaccurate or incomplete information concerning the transaction. These complaints seek, among other things, injunctive relief and an award of attorneys’ fees. The defendants in these cases have not yet answered these complaints and we believe that these pending and threatened lawsuits are without merit.
On October 19, 2020, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, increase the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock from 200,000,000 to 250,000,000. The authorized common stock of the Company includes up to 250,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. If the Company enters into an Initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an Initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s stockholders vote on the Initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with the Initial Business Combination. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock. At June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there were 22,572,502 and 22,572,502 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, of which 17,410,551 and 17,521,688 shares, respectively, were subject to possible redemption. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 5,643,125 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, which reflects that on September 18, 2020, October 7, 2020, October 8, 2020 and December 3, 2020, the Sponsor returned 2,875,000, 1,437,500, 1,437,500 and 106,875 Founder Shares, respectively, to the Company at no cost.
The Sponsor and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture would be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, 106,875 Founder Shares were forfeited.
