Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 30, 2023, the TKB Critical Technologies 1 (“TKB or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its shareholders approved the extension. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of TKB under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
As previously announced, on January 10, 2023, TKB entered into a business combination agreement with Wejo Group Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (“Wejo”), and Green Merger Subsidiary Limited, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Wejo (the “Merger Sub 1”) and upon execution of a joinder to the business combination agreement, each of Wejo Holdings Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and wholly owned subsidiary of Wejo (“Holdco”) and Wejo Acquisition Company Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub 2” and together with Merger Sub 1, the “Merger Subs”) (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions specified therein, (i) Wejo will transfer all of its Merger Sub 1 shares to Holdco, (ii) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into TKB, with TKB continuing as the surviving company (“TKB Merger”), and (iii) Merger Sub 2 will merge with Wejo, with Wejo continuing as the surviving company (the “Wejo Merger” and, together with the TKB Merger, the “Business Combination”), so that, immediately following completion of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), each of Wejo and TKB will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco. The Closing is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2023. In connection with the Business Combination, TKB and Wejo intend to file relevant materials with the SEC, including a registration statement on Form S-4, which will include a document that serves as a joint prospectus and proxy statement, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus. A proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all shareholders of TKB and Wejo. TKB and Wejo will also file other documents regarding the Business Combination with the SEC. Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders of TKB and Wejo are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination as they become available because they will contain important information about the Business Combination.
Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by TKB and Wejo through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.
The documents filed by TKB with the SEC also may be obtained free of charge upon written request to TKB Critical Technologies 1, 400 Continental Blvd, Suite 6000, El Segundo, CA 90245 or via email at [email protected].

A list of the names of such directors and executive officers, and information regarding their interests in the Business Combination and their ownership of TKB’s or Wejo’s securities, as applicable, are, or will be, contained in their respective filings with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of those persons and other persons who may be deemed participants in the Business Combination may be obtained by reading the proxy statement/prospectus regarding the Business Combination when it becomes available.

Additional factors are set forth in their respective filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and further information concerning TKB and Wejo may emerge from time to time. In particular, you should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of (a) TKB’s (i) prospectus filed with the SEC on October 28, 2021, (ii) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022, (iii) Forms 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 13, 2022, August 12, 2022 and November 12, 2022, (b) Wejo’s (i) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 (as amended on April 11, 2022), (iii) Forms 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022, August 15, 2022 and November 21, 2022, and (c) other documents filed or to be filed by TKB and/or Wejo with the SEC (including a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed in connection with the Business Combination). There may be additional risks that neither TKB nor Wejo presently know or that TKB and Wejo currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating these forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. TKB and Wejo expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in their expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any statement is based, except as required by law, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither TKB nor Wejo gives any assurance that either TKB, Wejo or the combined company will achieve its expectations.
