Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 27, 2024, Twin Vee PowerCats Co., a Delaware corporation ("Twin Vee"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on Form S-4, which contained a preliminary joint proxy statement of Twin Vee and Forza X1, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Forza"), and a preliminary prospectus of Twin Vee, related to, among other things, Twin Vee's proposed merger (the "Merger") with Forza. Twin Vee subsequently filed, on October 11, 2024, a definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus (the "Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus") with respect to, among other things, the Merger which Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus has been mailed to Twin Vee and Forza stockholders.

On November 3, 2024, Twin Vee received a letter from legal counsel to a purported stockholder of Twin Vee concerning the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. In discussions with counsel to the purported stockholder, counsel expressed its client's belief that the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus omits material information with respect to the Merger and demanded that Twin Vee make additional and supplemental disclosures regarding the valuation analyses performed by Twin Vee's financial advisor, Houlihan Capital, LLC ("Houlihan Capital") in support of its opinion regarding the fairness from a financial point of view, to Twin Vee's stockholders of the exchange ratio to be paid by Twin Vee in the Merger.

Twin Vee believes that the claims asserted by counsel to the purported stockholder are entirely without merit and that no further disclosure is required by applicable rule, statute, regulation or law beyond that already contained in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. However, to preclude and avoid the cost and distraction of a potential lawsuit regarding the sufficiency of the disclosures in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus that may delay or otherwise adversely affect the approval of the Merger, Twin Vee has determined that it will voluntarily make certain supplemental disclosures to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus related to the Merger Proposal set forth below (the "Supplemental Disclosures"). Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the Supplemental Disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, Twin Vee specifically denies that any additional disclosure was or is required.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES TO JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

The Supplemental Disclosures should be read in conjunction with the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which should be read in its entirety and is available free of charge on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Page number references below are to page numbers in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. To the extent the information in the Supplemental Disclosures differs from or conflicts with the information contained in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the information set forth in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed to supersede the respective information in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The disclosure on pages 87-88 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is hereby supplemented by amending and restating the section "Market Approach" as follows:

Market Approach

In determining the value of Forza, the following approaches were employed:

Spot Price

Forza's price at close as of July 31, 2024, is $0.3102 per share. Multiplying the traded price by the number of common stock outstanding of 15,754,774 yields an indicated equity value of approximately $4.9 million.

Volume-Weighted Average Price

Houlihan utilized a 30-Day VWAP as an indication of Forza's equity value. The VWAP was calculated using Forza's volume weighted average price of 30 trading day's open, high, low, and close prices. Multiplying the VWAP by the number of common stock outstanding of 15,754,774 yields an indicated equity value of approximately $6.0 million.

¹ Calculated using daily volume, and daily open, high, low, and close prices for the previous 30 trading days as of July 31, 2024.

² Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2024.

Based on the analyses described above, Houlihan Capital calculated an indicated equity value range for Forza between $4.9 million and $6.0 million.

Houlihan Capital does believe that this valuation methodology produced a range of indicated values for the equity of Forza that supports its overall conclusion within the broader context of its entire analysis and should be considered in conjunction with the results of the other valuation methodologies that Houlihan Capital applied. Houlihan Capital calculated a range of indicated fair market values for Forza. A summary of the results of Houlihan Capital's analysis is as follows:

To conclude on a range of Equity Values as indicated by Houlihan Capital's analyses, Houlihan Capital applied a 100% weighting to the Market Approach

To determine the exchange ratios for the Merger, Houlihan Capital subtracted the indicated value of Twin Vee's forfeited shares from Forza's total indicated equity value to determine Forza's indicated equity value following the forfeiture of shares. Forza's indicated equity value following the forfeiture was then divided by Twin Vee's share price as of July 31, 2024, to determine the number of Twin Vee shares to be issued to the remaining Forza shareholders following the forfeiture. Lastly, the number of shares to be issued to Forza shareholders, following the forfeiture, was then divided by the total number of Forza shares outstanding, excluding Twin Vee's forfeited shares in Forza, to determine the indicated exchange ratios.

Based on the foregoing, Houlihan Capital calculated an exchange ratio range for the Merger between approximately 0.5492 and 0.6705. Because the agreed upon exchange ratio per the Merger Agreement falls within the range, Houlihan Capital concluded that the Merger is fair from a financial point of view to Twin Vee and its shareholders.

Valuation of the Warrants and Options

Houlihan Capital utilized the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair market values of Forza's warrants and options as of the Date of Value. The options and warrants carry little value. According to the terms of the Merger, the convertible securities will convert to Twin Vee options and warrants at the Exchange Ratio. Given (1) the negligible value of the convertible securities determined in our analysis and (2) how far the current stock prices are from the respective strike prices of the instruments, the determination of the fairness of the Transaction was not materially impacted by the presence of these instruments.

Black-Scholes Model - Warrants at $6.25

Houlihan Capital performed a Black-Scholes analysis for the Warrants with a $6.25 strike price based on their terms, using the following assumptions:

Forza X1, Inc.

Fair Market Value of Warrants - @ $6.25 As of July 31, 2024

(Actuals)

Forza X1, Inc.

Fair Market Value of Warrants - @ $1.88 As of July 31, 2024

(Actuals)

Black-Scholes Model - Warrants at $1.88

Houlihan Capital performed a Black-Scholes analysis for the Warrants with a $1.88 strike price based on their terms, using the following assumptions:

Black-Scholes Model - Options at a weighted average price of $2.72

Houlihan Capital performed a Black-Scholes analysis for the Options with a weighted average $2.72 strike price based on their terms, using the following assumptions:
