EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, Twin Vee Powercats Co. (the “Registrant” or the “Company”), is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) for the purpose of registering an additional 428,400 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that may be issued pursuant to the Registrant’s Amended and Restated 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to an “evergreen” provision contained therein, as follows: 428,400 shares of Common Stock, which equals 4.5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31, 2022, were automatically added to the shares authorized for issuance under the Plan on January 1, 2023. These additional shares of Common Stock are securities of the same class as other securities for which the registration statement on Form S-8 has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), which is described below. As disclosed above, these additional shares of Common Stock have become reserved for issuance as a result of the operation of the “evergreen” provision in the Plan, which provides that the total number of shares subject to such plans will be increased each year on January 1; provided, however that the Registrant’s Board of Directors may act prior to January 1 of a given calendar year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock.
The Registrant’s Form S-8 Registration Statement filed with the Commission on May 17, 2022 (File No. 333-265016) and the Registrant’s Form S-8 Registration Statement filed with the Commission on July 23, 2021 (File No. 333-258129), which relate to the Plan, are each incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
