Summary of the Joint Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus
Conditions to the Business Combination, page 11
3.We note the conditions to the proposed business combination between TLG and Electriq
include provisions related to no material adverse effect having occurred. We also
note, subsequent to the merger agreement, over 80% of TLG’s public stockholders
redeemed their shares such that cash in the trust account was reduced by over $322
million, TLG’s warrants were delisted, and a customer that represented over 90% of
Electriq’s revenue indicated their intention to terminate their relationship with Electriq.
Please disclose if and how these events were evaluated in terms of a material adverse
effect having occurred. Please also disclose who determines if a material adverse effect
occurs and what would constitute a material adverse effect.
Summary Historical Financial Data for TLG, page 22
4.Please provide a footnote to TLG’s interim balance sheet data to quantify and disclose that
80% of TLG’s public stockholders exercised their redemption rights in connection with an
extension request which resulted in cash redemptions of over $322 million subsequent to
September 30, 2022. Please provide a similar footnote on page 151.
Unaudited Historical Comparative and Pro Forma Combined Per-Share Data of TLG and
Electriq, page 27
5.We note you removed the assumed 86% redemption level from your sensitivity analysis
on page 28. Please revise your disclosure to show the potential impact of redemptions on
the per share value of the shares owned by non-redeeming shareholders by including a
sensitivity analysis showing a range of redemption scenarios, including interim
redemption levels.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet, page 101
6.To allow shareholders to more clearly evaluate the financial condition of each entity prior
to the proposed business combination, it appears you should revise the pro forma balance
sheet to present a subtotal column for TLG that reflects their historical balances as of
September 30, 2022 adjusted for the $322 million of cash redemptions that resulted from
the recent extension request that occurred after the balance sheet date but prior to the
proposed business combination.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 104
7.We note the response to prior comment 25. Please revise note 2(i) to clarify if you have
entered into definitive agreements for $30 million in debt financings regarding the
convertible Lawrie Note and asset-backed revolving credit facility. If you have not,
please explain how you determined it is appropriate to reflect the debt financings in the
pro forma financial statements based on the provisions of Rule 11-01(a) of Regulation S-
X. Please also disclose if the proposed business combination could proceed absent the
debt financings or with debt proceeds less than $30 million and, if it can, explain how you
determined the pro forma financial statements appropriately reflect the range of possible
results or revise them as required by Rule 11-02(a)(10) of Regulation S-X. In addition, in
regard to the convertible Lawrie Note, please clarify if and how the conversion option is
accounted for in the pro forma financial statements.
8.We note the response to prior comment 25. Please revise note 2(k) to clarify if you have
entered into a definitive agreement to issue $25 million in equity financing of class A
common stock of New Electriq. If you have not, please explain how you determined it is
appropriate to reflect the equity issuance in the pro forma financial statements based on
the provisions of Rule 11-01(a) of Regulation S-X. Please also disclose if the proposed
business combination could proceed absent the equity financing or with equity proceeds
less than $25 million and, if it can, explain how you determined the pro forma financial
statements appropriately reflect the range of possible results or revise them as required by
Rule 11-02(a)(10) of Regulation S-X. In addition, since it appears 1.25 million additional
shares would be issued in the equity financing, the current disclosures that indicate 2.5
million shares will be issued at $10 per share resulting in cash proceeds of $25 million
may not be accurate since it appears 3.750 million shares will be issued for cash proceeds
of $25 million which indicates shares will be issued at $6.67 per share. It appears the
issuance of shares for cash at a price substantially below the redemption price should be
more fully disclosed and discussed throughout the filing, including under risk factors,
since it seems to indicate the redemption price exceeds the value of the shares. Please
clarify or revise.
9.We note the response to prior comment 26. We also note under both the No Redemptions
and Maximum Redemptions pro forma scenarios you assume you will issue additional
New Incentive Shares to the TLG Sponsor; however, it remains unclear to us how you
intend to account for the issuance of shares to the TLG Sponsor in the pro forma financial
statements and we note no pro forma adjustments related to these shares. Please clarify
how you intend to account for New Incentive Shares issued to the TLG Sponsor, including
the accounting literature you are relying on. If applicable, please revise the pro forma
financial statements to appropriately account for the shares.

10.We note the response to prior comment 27. Please revise note 2(d) to more fully explain
when and how Electriq shareholders will make an election to receive $25 million in cash
with a corresponding reduction in the number of shares of TLG common stock issuable as
merger consideration. If the proposed business combination can proceed without Electriq
shareholders making a cash election or making a cash election for less than $25 million,
please explain how you determined the pro forma financial statements appropriately
reflect the range of possible results or revise them as required by Rule 11-02(a)(10) of
Regulation S-X.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations, page 264
11.We note your response to prior comment 41. To the extent that you intend to file a short
form tax opinion as Exhibit 8.1, please also revise your disclosure on page 265 to reflect
the fact that the discussion reflects the opinion of counsel.

12.Please update your disclosures here and in MD&A regarding the extension proposal to
quantify and disclose that 80% of TLG’s public stockholders exercised their redemption
rights in connection with the extension request which resulted in cash redemptions of over
$322 million subsequent to September 30, 2022.
13.We note your disclosure on the cover page that the NYSE delisted the public warrants and
filed a notification of removal from listing on November 21, 2022. Please update your
disclosure here regarding the delisted public warrants.
