Item 8.01 Other Events
On July 7, 2022, Eos Energy Storage LLC (“Eos Energy”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc., entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and Vincent Icolari (“Relator”) to resolve the previously disclosed investigation by the DOJ for underpayment of certain custom duties in past years in connection with imports of batteries and battery components manufactured abroad. The investigation resulted from a qui tam lawsuit (the “Civil Action”) filed by the Relator in December 2019 alleging violations of the False Claims Act, which is currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Eos Energy has agreed to pay a total of $1.017 million to the United States and $70,000 to Relator’s counsel. Upon receipt of such payments, the DOJ and the Relator have agreed to release Eos Energy from civil monetary and administrative claims under the False Claims Act and the Relator has agreed to release Eos Energy from any claims related to the Civil Action.
