Clean Earth Acquisitions (NASDAQ: CLIN ) stock is rising higher on Wednesday after the company posted an update to its merger plans with Alternus Energy. The big news here is the company holding a special meeting of shareholders to have them vote on the proposed merger.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alternus Energy Group plc ("Alternus") (OSE: ALT) today announced the establishment of its development business, Altnua, which aims to become one of the leading specialist renewable asset developers in Europe and the US. Altnua will focus on developing utility scale projects from the ground up working with landowners and local developers as well as corporate off-takers to achieve their net zero goals. Bill Sadlier will lead the new business as Chief Executive Officer. Prior to establishing Altnua, Mr Sadlier served as the Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director at BNRG where he led the business through transformative private equity deals on both sides of the Atlantic. Mr Sadlier has an extensive track record in the renewable energy industry having developed, financed, and delivered over 1 GW of renewable capacity in Europe and North America since 2004 with businesses including NTR plc. “Joining Alternus at this pivotal point, when demand for clean energy is greater than ever, will allow Altnua to respond to critical decarbonisation targets and contribute to future growth for the group. I am confident as part of Alternus, Altnua has the right foundation, resources, and expertise to create an industry leading development business. We have an ambitious vision for this business with a goal of adding over 5GW’s of organically developed operational parks to the Alternus portfolio by the end of the decade,” said Bill Sadlier. As part of Alternus, Altnua can take a responsible long-term approach to developing projects, on a ‘develop to own’ basis, across a range of technologies using innovative energy solutions. A central theme of Altnua’s growth strategy will be the acquisition of development businesses to scale their portfolios. A number of executives and professionals are expected to join Altnua in the coming months as Bill Sadlier builds out the team to execute on the ambitious plan. “Establishing a specialist development business led by an experienced team is the next logical step for Alternus as we continue in our current growth path. As long-term owners of clean energy projects, we see tremendous value by stepping in earlier in the value chain. This allows us to reduce our overall capital expenditure and to optimise the long-term design and operation of the projects from inception, including the use of storage and other hybrid solutions. This will also provide an assured pipeline of future operational parks to support better planning and use of group resources. I am delighted for Bill to lead this exciting new chapter in our development and also welcome him onto the Alternus Executive Management Team,” added Vincent Browne, Group Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Alternus.

(NASDAQ: CLIN) („Clean Earth“), eine auf Klimatechnologie und Energiewandel fokussierte Erwerbergesellschaft, gaben heute die Unterzeichnung einer definitiven Zusammenschlussvereinbarung bekannt. Im Rahmen der Vereinbarung wird Alternus zum Abschlussstichtag seine Kapitalbeteiligung an allen seinen Tochtergesellschaften gegen maximal 90 Millionen neu ausgegebene Clean Earth-Aktien übertragen. Am Abschlussstichtag wird Clean Earth zunächst 55 Millionen Aktien ausgeben (vorbehaltlich einer auf 1 Million zusätzlicher Aktien begrenzten Arbeitskapitalanpassung) sowie bis zu 35 Millionen Aktien vorbehaltlich gewisser Earn-Out-Klauseln, die bis zur Erfüllung bestimmter EBITDA- und Aktienpreis-Ziele treuhänderisch hinterlegt werden. Nach Abschluss der Transaktion wird Alternus ungefähr 64 Prozent an Clean Earth gehören, vorausgesetzt, Aktieninhaber von Clean Earth tätigen keine Rückkäufe, so dass das zusammengeschlossene Unternehmen rund 220 Millionen US-Dollar an Barmitteln zur Verfügung haben wird. Es wird erwartet, dass das zusammengeschlossene Unternehmen einen Anfangskapitalwert von ungefähr 863 Millionen US-Dollar haben wird, sofern Aktieninhaber von Clean Earth keine Rückkäufe tätigen. Die Bewertung des zusammengeschlossenen Unternehmens basiert auf 168 MW aus derzeit in Betrieb befindlicher und 649 MW aus in der Entwicklung befindlicher Projekte, die Alternus gehören. Dazu kommen 845 MW aus vertraglichen Akquisitionen mit weiteren 800 MW aus Solar-PV-Projekten, an denen Alternus das exklusive Kaufrecht hat, vorbehaltlich der Sorgfaltsprüfung und einer definitiven Vereinbarung. Das Board of Directors von Clean Earth erhielt eine Fairness Opinion von einer unabhängigen Drittpartei, die Teil der bei der US Securities and Exchange Commission („SEC“) eingereichten Stimmrechtsvollmacht ist. Der Abschluss der Transaktion unterliegt den üblichen Abschlussbedingungen für Transaktionen dieser Art, einschließlich der Zustimmung seitens der Aktionäre von Clean Earth, nach Einreichung der Stimmrechtsvollmacht, Zustimmung zur Notierung am Nasdaq sowie verfügbaren Barmitteln in Höhe von mindestens 25 Millionen US-Dollar zum oder vor dem Abschlussstichtag. Alternus kann die Mindestanforderung an Barmittel nach seinem Ermessen erlassen. Die Transaktion wird voraussichtlich im ersten Quartal 2023 abgeschlossen. Clean Earth beabsichtigt nach Abschluss der Transaktion unter dem Namen Alternus Clean Energy Inc. zu firmieren. Das zusammengeschlossene Unternehmen wird unter der Leitung von Vincent Browne, Chairman und Chief Executive Officer von Alternus, stehen, und der Betrieb wird wie bisher fortgesetzt. Clean Earth und Alternus beabsichtigen noch vor Abschluss des Unternehmenszusammenschlusses ein Aktienplatzierungsprogramm auf Abruf in Höhe von bis zu 100 Millionen US-Dollar für gebundenes Kapital zu arrangieren, auf das nach dem Ermessen des zusammengeschlossenen Unternehmens zugegriffen werden kann, neben weiteren potenziellen Finanzierungsoptionen. Alternus-Aktien werden weiterhin an der Euronext Growth in Oslo gehandelt, während davon ausgegangen wird, dass die Stammaktien von Clean Earth weiterhin am Nasdaq notieren. Der Handel mit den von der Solis Bond Company DAC ausgegebenen Anleihen wird wie normal fortgesetzt. Die Inhaber von Anleihen der Solis Bond Company DAC werden im Hinblick auf die Transaktion zu gegebener Zeit kontaktiert. Weitere Informationen über die Transaktion finden sich in einem aktuellen Bericht auf Formblatt 8-K, der von Clean Earth bei der SEC eingereicht wird und im Internet unter www.sec.gov und auf der Website von Clean Earth zur Verfügung stehen wird.

Alternus wird am Montag, dem 17. Oktober um 15:00 Uhr CET (10:00 Uhr EST) ein Kapitalmarkt-Update veranstalten, um die Auswirkungen der vorgeschlagenen Transaktion, einschließlich der Auswirkungen auf das Unternehmen generell, zu erörtern. Interessierte können sich für das Event unter folgendem Link anmelden: https://forms.office.com/r/fzs3XRiaie Eckpunkte von Alternus Sehr erfahrenes Managementteam, unterstützt durch ein außergewöhnliches Board mit weitreichendem Branchennetzwerk, legt das Fundament für fortlaufend starkes Wachstum, wie in den letzten Jahren mit über 1,5 GW aus zur Produktion anstehenden Projekten gezeigt. Erfolgreicher Einsatz von 140 Millionen Euro aus der Emission einer grünen Anleihe in Höhe von 200 Millionen Euro, sowie fortgeschrittene Gespräche mit europäischen Tier-1-Banken über neue Kreditfazilitäten von bis zu 500 Millionen Euro. Für den Erwerb neuer Marktanteile in Europa positioniert, zumal galoppierende Energiekosten dort den Richtungswechsel in der Politik und den Kapitalfluss hin zu sauberer Energie vorantreiben. Alternus erschließt zudem den boomenden Solarmarkt in den USA. Europäische Solar-PV-Kapazität soll in den nächsten drei Jahren um 40 Prozent wachsen. Die Europäische Kommission erörtert, ob die Europäische Union bis 2030 eine höhere Vorgabe von 45 Prozent an erneuerbaren Energien erzielen kann, anstatt der vorgeschlagenen 40 Prozent, um die Abkehr von russischen fossilen Brennstoffen nach der Invasion der Ukraine zu beschleunigen. „Angesichts einer wesentlichen Zunahme bei unter Vertrag stehendem Pipeline- und Betriebsvermögen im letzten Jahr hat Alternus auf seinem Wachstumskurs einen Wendepunkt erreicht“, sagte Vincent Browne. „Wir sind dankbar, die Unterstützung von Investoren in Europa und den USA zu haben, die sich der Energiewende verpflichtet haben. Wir gehen davon aus, dass die vorgeschlagene Transaktion dazu führen wird, dass Alternus gut positioniert und gut kapitalisiert ist, um Projekte im Bereich erneuerbare Energie in ganz Europa und nunmehr auch in den USA zu entwickeln und/oder zu kaufen, zu installieren und zu betreiben.“ Aaron Ratner, CEO von Clean Earth, fügte hinzu: „Alternus hat ein solides Fundament für das rapide Wachstum seines Portfolios erneuerbarer Energien gebaut, und angesichts der fortgesetzten Expansion erwarten wir, dass Alternus weiterhin konsistente, langfristige Renditen für Aktionäre generieren wird. Unser Unternehmenszusammenschluss, die Nasdaq-Notierung und der erwartete Zugang zu neuem Kapital und potenziell günstigerem Fremdkapital werden diese Expansion befeuern und den Wechsel von Entwicklungs- und Vertragsprojekten zu Cashflow generierendem Betriebsvermögen beschleunigen.” Nicholas Parker, Executive Chairman von Clean Earth, kommentierte: „Die Verabschiedung des Inflation Reduction Act in den USA ist für das Wachstum von Solarenergie und anderer Technologien im Bereich erneuerbare Energie ein Impulsgeber. Gleichermaßen soll die Solar-PV-Kapazität in Europa in den nächsten drei Jahren um 40 Prozent wachsen. Wir glauben, dass Alternus gut positioniert ist, um sich diesen Energiewandel, wie er nur einmal pro Generation vorkommt, zu Nutze zu machen.” Berater JonesTrading Institutional Services agierten als Finanzberater für Clean Earth und unterstützten Clean Earth bei dem Unternehmenszusammenschluss. Proskauer, Rose LLP fungierten als Rechtsberater für Clean Earth. King & Spalding LLP waren Rechtsberater der Finanzberater. Carmel, Milazzo & Feil LLP waren Rechtsberater von Alternus bei der Transaktion.

DUBLIN et AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alternus Energy Group Plc ("Alternus" ou la "Société") (OSE: ALT) et Clean Earth Acquisitions Corp. (NASDAQ: CLIN) ("Clean Earth"), une société d'acquisition à vocation spécifique axée sur les technologies climatiques et la transition énergétique, annonce aujourd'hui la signature d'un accord définitif de regroupement d'entreprises. En vertu de l'accord, à la clôture, Alternus transférera sa participation dans la quasi-totalité de ses filiales en échange de jusqu'à 90 millions d'actions nouvellement émises dans Clean Earth. Initialement, Clean Earth émettra 55 millions d'actions à la clôture (sous réserve d'un ajustement du fonds de roulement plafonné à 1 million d'actions supplémentaires), plus jusqu'à 35 millions d'actions sous réserve de certaines dispositions complémentaires (earn-out), qui seront entiercées et émises si certains objectifs de BAIIA et de cours des actions sont atteints. Alternus détiendra approximativement 64% de Clean Earth à la clôture, en cas de non-rachat par les actionnaires de Clean Earth, auquel cas la société fusionnée disposera d'environ 220 millions USD en trésorerie disponibles à la clôture. La société fusionnée devrait avoir une valeur de fonds propres d'environ 863 millions USD, en cas de non-rachat par les actionnaires de Clean Earth. L'évaluation du regroupement d'entreprises se base sur 168MW en exploitation et 649MW de projets en développement détenus par Alternus, plus 845MW d'acquisitions sous contrat avec 800MW supplémentaires de projets solaires photovoltaïques pour lesquels Alternus dispose de droits exclusifs d'acquisition sous réserve de diligence raisonnable et de signature d'accords définitifs. Le conseil d'administration de Clean Earth a reçu une attestation d'équité indépendante qui sera incluse dans une déclaration de procurations qui sera déposée auprès de la Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") américaine. La clôture est soumise aux conditions de clôture usuelles pour les transactions de cette nature, y compris l'approbation des actionnaires de Clean Earth, après le dépôt de la déclaration de procurations, une approbation de cotation au Nasdaq, et un minimum de 25 millions USD en trésorerie disponible à ou avant la clôture. Alternus peut lever, à sa discrétion, la condition de trésorerie minimum. La transaction devrait être clôturée durant le premier trimestre 2023. À la clôture, Clean Earth prévoit de changer son nom pour devenir Alternus Clean Energy Inc. La société fusionnée sera dirigée par Vincent Browne, président du conseil et chef de la direction d'Alternus, et l'entreprise continuera à fonctionner normalement. Clean Earth et Alternus projettent de mettre en place un programme de placement à la demande de capital engagé d'un montant allant jusqu'à 100 millions USD, pouvant être sollicité à la discrétion de la société fusionnée, et potentiellement d'autres options de financement en amont de la clôture du regroupement d'entreprises. Les actions Alternus continueront à être négociées sur le marché Euronext Growth à Oslo, et les actions ordinaires de Clean Earth devraient continuer à être négociées sur le Nasdaq Market. Les obligations émises par Solis Bond Company DAC continueront d'être négociées normalement. Les obligataires de Solis Bond Company DAC seront contactés en temps utile à propos de la transaction. Des informations complémentaires sur la transaction seront fournies dans un rapport sur formulaire 8-K qui sera déposé par Clean Earth auprès de la SEC et qui sera disponible sur www.sec.gov et sur le site web de Clean Earth. Alternus déposera des informations complémentaires auprès de l'Euronext Notice, y compris une présentation aux investisseurs relative à la transaction.

Alternus présentera une mise à jour sur les marchés de capitaux pour parler de l'impact de cette proposition de transaction sur l'activité en général, le lundi 17 octobre à 15h00 CET (10h00 EST). Les personnes souhaitant participer peuvent s'inscrire à l'événement via le lien suivant: https://forms.office.com/r/fzs3XRiaie Faits saillants d'Alternus Une équipe de direction aguerrie soutenue par un conseil d'administration d'exception avec un vaste réseau sectoriel, posant les fondements à une solide croissance continue, comme en témoignent ces dernières années avec plus de 1,5GW de projets en attente de production. Déploiement réussi de 140 millions EUR d'une émission de 200 millions EUR d'obligations vertes, et discussions avancées avec des banques européennes de premier plan pour jusqu'à 500 millions EUR en nouvelles facilités d'endettement. Positionné pour saisir de nouvelles parts de marché en Europe, alors que des coûts énergétiques en hausse exponentielle instaurent des changements de politique et conduisent les capitaux vers les énergies propres. Alternus entre également sur le marché solaire florissant aux États-Unis. La capacité solaire photovoltaïque européenne devrait augmenter d'environ 40% durant les trois prochaines années. La Commission européenne évalue si l'Union européenne pourrait atteindre un objectif plus élevé d'une part de 45% de l'énergie renouvelable d'ici 2030, au lieu des 40% proposés, afin d'accélérer la distanciation face aux carburants fossiles russes après l'invasion de l'Ukraine. "Alternus a atteint un point d'inflexion dans sa croissance, avec une hausse significative de ses projets sous contrat et de ses actifs d'exploitation au cours de l'année dernière", déclare Vincent Browne. "Nous sommes reconnaissants d'avoir le soutien des investisseurs en Europe et aux États-Unis qui s'engagent en faveur de la transition de l'énergie propre. Nous prévoyons que cette proposition de transaction permettra à Alternus de se positionner favorablement, avec une solide capitalisation, pour continuer à se développer et/ou à réaliser des acquisitions, en installant et exploitant des actifs d'énergie renouvelable dans toute l'Europe et maintenant aussi aux États-Unis." Aaron Ratner, PDG de Clean Earth, ajoute: "Alternus a posé de solides fondements pour une croissance rapide de son portefeuille d'énergie renouvelable, avec une expansion continue, nous anticipons qu'Alternus continuera de générer des retours stables à long terme pour les actionnaires. Notre regroupement d'entreprises, notre cotation au Nasdaq et l'accès anticipé à de nouveaux capitaux propres et potentiellement à du capital d'emprunt à plus faible coût devraient alimenter cette expansion et accélérer la conversion de projets de développement et de projets sous contrat en actifs d'exploitation générant des flux de trésorerie." Nicholas Parker, président exécutif du conseil de Clean Earth, déclare: "L'adoption de l'Inflation Reduction Act aux États-Unis changera la donne pour la croissance des technologies de l'énergie solaire et d'autres énergies renouvelables. Tout comme en Europe, la capacité solaire photovoltaïque devrait augmenter d'environ 40% durant les trois prochaines années. Nous pensons qu'Alternus sera bien positionné pour tirer parti d'une transition énergétique qui n'arrive qu'une fois par génération."

DUBLIN & AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alternus Energy Group Plc ("Alternus" or the "Company") (OSE: ALT) and Clean Earth Acquisitions Corp. (NASDAQ: CLIN) (“Clean Earth”), a climate technology and energy transition-focused special purpose acquisition company, today announced the execution of a definitive business combination agreement. Under the agreement, at the closing, Alternus will transfer its equity ownership in substantially all its subsidiaries in exchange for up to 90 million newly issued shares in Clean Earth. Initially, Clean Earth will issue 55 million shares at closing (subject to a working capital adjustment capped at 1 million additional shares) plus up to 35 million shares subject to certain earn-out provisions, which will be deposited in escrow and will be released if certain EBITDA and share price targets are met. Alternus will own approximately 64% of Clean Earth at closing, assuming no redemptions by Clean Earth shareholders, in which case the combined company will have approximately $220 million of cash available at closing. The combined company is expected to have an initial equity value of approximately $863 million, assuming no redemptions by Clean Earth shareholders. The business combination valuation is based on 168MW of current operating and 649MW of in-development projects owned by Alternus, plus 845MW of contracted acquisitions with an additional 800MW of solar PV projects that Alternus has exclusive rights to purchase subject to due diligence and entering into definitive agreements. The Clean Earth Board of Directors received an independent, third-party Fairness Opinion which will be included in a proxy statement to be filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Closing is contingent on customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature, including Clean Earth shareholder approval, following filing of the proxy statement, approval for listing on Nasdaq, and a minimum of $25 million in cash being available at or before closing. Alternus may waive the minimum cash condition at its discretion. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023. On closing, Clean Earth intends to change its name to Alternus Clean Energy Inc. The combined company will be led by Vincent Browne, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Alternus, and the business will continue to operate as normal. Clean Earth and Alternus intend to arrange a committed capital on demand equity placement program of up $100 million, which can be called upon at the discretion of the combined company, and potentially other financing options ahead of completion of the business combination. Alternus shares will continue to trade on the Euronext Growth market in Oslo, while Clean Earth’s common stock is expected to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Market. Bonds issued by Solis Bond Company DAC will continue to trade as normal. Bondholders of Solis Bond Company DAC will be approached in due course in relation the transaction. Additional information about the transaction will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Clean Earth with the SEC and will be available at www.sec.gov and on the Clean Earth website. Alternus will file further details on the Euronext Notice including an Investor Presentation relating to the transaction. In addition, Clean Earth intends to file a proxy statement with the SEC and will file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC in due course. Alternus will be holding a capital markets update to discuss the impact of this proposed transaction and on the business in general on Monday, October 17th at 15:00 CET (10:00am EST). Those interested in attending can register for the event at the following link: https://forms.office.com/r/fzs3XRiaie Alternus Highlights Highly experienced management team supported by exceptional board with an extensive industry network, laying the foundation for continued strong growth as shown in recent years with over 1.5GW of projects yet to reach production. Successfully deployed EUR 140 million of a EUR 200 million green bond issuance and is in advanced discussions with Tier 1 European banks for up to EUR 500 million in new debt facilities. Positioned to capture new market share in Europe, as soaring energy costs across there are driving policy change and capital towards clean power. Alternus is also now entering the burgeoning US solar market. European solar PV capacity is set to grow ~40% over the next three years. The European Commission is assessing whether the European Union could achieve a higher target of a 45% share of renewable energy by 2030, instead of its proposed 40%, to accelerate its shift from Russian fossil fuels following the invasion of Ukraine. “Alternus has reached an inflection point in our growth, with a significant increase in contracted pipeline and operating assets over the past year,” said Vincent Browne. “We are grateful to have support from investors in Europe and the United States who are committed to the clean energy transition. We expect that this proposed transaction will leave Alternus well-positioned and well-capitalized to continue developing and/or acquiring, installing and operating renewable energy assets across Europe and also now in the United States.” Aaron Ratner, CEO of Clean Earth, added, “Alternus has built a strong foundation for rapid growth of its renewable power portfolio, and with their continued expansion we anticipate that Alternus will continue to generate consistent, long-term returns for shareholders. Our business combination, Nasdaq listing and the anticipated access to new equity and potentially lower cost debt capital is expected to fuel this expansion and accelerate the company’s conversion of development and contracted projects into cash flowing operating assets.” Nicholas Parker, Executive Chairman of Clean Earth, commented, “The passage of the US Inflation Reduction Act will be a game-changer for the growth of solar power and other renewable energy technologies. Likewise in Europe, solar PV capacity is set to grow ~40% over the next three years. We believe Alternus is well positioned to take advantage of this once-in-a-generation energy transition.” Advisors JonesTrading Institutional Services acted as financial advisor to Clean Earth and supported Clean Earth in this Business Combination. Proskauer, Rose LLP acted as legal counsel to Clean Earth. King & Spalding LLP acted as legal counsel to the financial advisor.
