Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 12, 2021, the board of directors (the "Board") of 374Water Inc. (the "Company") approved an increase in the number of authorized directors on the Board from three to four and appointed Terry Merrell to the Board to fill the newly created directorship resulting from the increase in the number of authorized directors.

Mr. Merrell is a co-founder of Merrell Bros. Inc. ("Merrell"), Kokomo, Indiana, where he has served as the Chief Financial Officer since inception in 1982. He also is the founder of Cross America, Inc. which is a non-profit organization where he has served as President since 2018. He also serves as Elder at Upper Deer Creek Church. He has developed several technologies related to the biosolids management and disposal industry and currently has a patent pending status on some of these technologies.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Merrell and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Merrell was selected as a director. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers and Mr. Merrell. Except as provided below, Mr. Merrell has not had an interest in any transaction since the beginning of the Company's last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, that requires disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
