Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

In an effort to retain cash and reduce expenditures and as a result of current market conditions, on July 11, 2024, the Board of Directors of Forza X1, Inc. (“Forza X1”), a subsidiary of Twin Vee PowerCats Co.(the “Company”), determined to discontinue and wind down Forza X1’s business related to the development and sale of electric boats utilizing its proprietary outboard electric motor. Forza X1 intends to explore strategic alternatives, including a potential merger with the Company.

 

Forza X1 continues to optimize its workforce to align with current production needs and financial realities and is currently down to five employees.

 

Forza X1expects to incur pre-tax charges of less than $100,000 for the workforce reduction, most of which is expected to be incurred in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. These charges will be substantially settled in cash and almost entirely consist of severance, continuation of salaries and benefits over a transitional period during which impacted employees remain employed but are not expected to provide active service, and other customary employee benefit payments in connection with an employee reduction. The wind down of Forza X1’s operations is expected to reduce its monthly cash used in operating activities from approximately $403,000 per month in the first quarter of 2024 by more than 50%, to less than approximately $200,000 per month.

 

This Item 8.01 contains "forward-looking" statements and estimates, including anticipated cost reductions and estimated restructuring costs. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including whether anticipated cost reductions will be achieved and other risks detailed in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent periodic report filed with the SEC. These statements represent Forza X1’s estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Current Report. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly any such forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available.
