OPAL Fuels Inc. (“OPAL Fuels” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPAL),
a leading vertically integrated producer and distributor of
renewable natural gas, today announced that it has commenced an
exchange offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent
Solicitation”) relating to its outstanding (i) public warrants to
purchase shares of Class A common stock of the Company, par value
$0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), which warrants
trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “OPALW” (the
“public warrants”), and (ii) private placement warrants to purchase
shares of Class A common stock (the “private placement warrants”
and, together with the public warrants, the “warrants”). The
purpose of the Offer and Consent Solicitation is to simplify the
Company’s capital structure and reduce the potential dilutive
impact of the warrants, thereby providing the Company with more
flexibility for financing its operations in the future.
Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Relating to
Warrants
The Company is offering to all holders of the warrants the
opportunity to receive 0.250 shares of Class A common stock in
exchange for each outstanding warrant tendered by the holder and
exchanged pursuant to the Offer. Pursuant to the Offer, the Company
is offering up to an aggregate of 3,861,623 shares of its Class A
common stock in exchange for the warrants.
Concurrently with the Offer, the Company is also soliciting
consents from holders of the warrants to amend the warrant
agreement that governs all of the warrants (the “Warrant
Agreement”) to permit the Company to require that each warrant that
is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be exchanged for 0.225
shares of Class A common stock, which is a ratio 10% less than the
exchange ratio applicable to the Offer (such amendment, the
“Warrant Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant
Agreement, all except certain specified modifications or amendments
require the vote or written consent of holders of at least 65% of
each of the outstanding public warrants and the outstanding private
placement warrants. Parties representing approximately 53.30% of
the outstanding public warrants and approximately 100% of the
outstanding private placement warrants have agreed to tender their
public warrants and private placement warrants (as applicable) in
the Offer and to consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent
Solicitation, pursuant to a tender and support agreement.
Accordingly, if holders of an additional approximately 11.70% of
our outstanding public warrants consent to the Warrant Amendment in
the Consent Solicitation, and the other conditions of the Offer are
satisfied or waived, then the Warrant Amendment will be adopted.
The offering period will continue until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time,
on December 16, 2022, or such later time and date to which the
Company may extend (the “Expiration Date”), as described in the
Company’s Schedule TO and Prospectus/Offer to Exchange (each as
defined below). Tendered warrants may be withdrawn by holders at
any time prior to the Expiration Date.
The Offer and Consent Solicitation are being made pursuant to a
prospectus/offer to exchange, dated November 18, 2022 (the
“Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), and Schedule TO, dated November
18, 2022 (the “Schedule TO”), each of which have been filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and more
fully set forth the terms and conditions of the Offer and Consent
Solicitation.
The Company’s Class A common stock and public warrants are
listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “OPAL” and
“OPALW,” respectively. As of November 17, 2022, there were (i)
25,671,390 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, (ii)
144,399,037 shares of the Company’s Class D common stock, par value
of $0.0001 per share, outstanding, and (iii) a total of 15,446,494
warrants outstanding, consisting of 6,223,233 public warrants and
9,223,261 private placement warrants. Assuming all warrant holders
tender their warrants for exchange in the Offer, the Company would
expect to issue up to 3,861,623 shares of Class A common stock,
resulting in 29,533,013 shares of Class A common stock outstanding
(an increase of approximately 15.0% of total Class A common stock
outstanding and an increase of approximately 2.3% in total issued
share capital), and no public or private placement warrants
outstanding.
The Company has engaged BofA Securities as the dealer manager
for the Offer and Consent Solicitation (the “Dealer Manager”). Any
questions or requests for assistance concerning the Offer and
Consent Solicitation may be directed to BofA Securities at:

Prospectus/Offer to Exchange carefully before making any decision

None of the Company, any of its management or its board of
directors, or the Information Agent, the Exchange Agent, or the
Dealer Manager makes any recommendation as to whether or not
holders of warrants should tender warrants for exchange in the
Offer or consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent
Solicitation.
