Item 3.01.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On November 21, 2022, Empowerment & Inclusion Capital I Corp. (the "Company") received notice from the staff of NYSE Regulation (the "Staff") of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), indicating that the Staff has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company's warrants, each whole warrant exercisable for one share of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and listed to trade on the NYSE under the symbol "EPWR WS" (the "Warrants"), from the NYSE and that trading in the Warrants on the NYSE would be suspended immediately. The Staff has determined that the Warrants are no longer suitable for listing on the NYSE based on "abnormally low" price levels, pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Trading in the Company's Class A Common Stock and units on the NYSE will continue.
