The Company will primarily use the proceeds of the Offering to pay the consideration due in connection with a Business Combination and associated transaction costs. The Company intends to focus on effecting a Business Combination with a business or company (the "Target") operating in the energy transition sector that is headquartered or operating in the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, although it may pursue a Business Combination opportunity in any geography, industry or sector. The Company intends to focus on Targets which are seeking to be market leaders in, and/or benefit from, the increasing global market, policy and technology initiatives to decarbonise the world's energy mix, improve the efficiency and stability of energy ecosystems, and reduce emissions and environmental impact (the "Energy Transition").
The Company will benefit from compelling sector dynamics, which the Company believes offer futurefacing and resilient assets and businesses with strong secular growth drivers as well as a deep pool of potential Targets. The Company believes it will be an attractive partner for companies in the Energy Transition sector which are seeking capital, experience and leadership, as well as strong vision and alignment to participate in the Energy Transition. The Company currently intends to focus on Targets with an enterprise value of between €1,000,000,000 and €4,000,000,000, although it may pursue Targets with smaller or larger enterprise values. It is expected that the Company will pursue a Business Combination in which it issues a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all or substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares in a Target, and/or issues or delivers a substantial number of Ordinary Shares to third parties to finance the Business Combination.
An amount equal to the gross proceeds of the Offering will be deposited in a designated escrow account (the "Escrow Account"). The Company will have 24 months from the Settlement Date (as defined below) to consummate a Business Combination, plus an additional 6 months subject to approval by its general meeting (the "Business Combination Deadline"). If the Company fails to complete a Business Combination prior to the Business Combination deadline, it is expected that the holders of Ordinary Shares will receive an amount which is equal to a pro rata share of funds in the Escrow Account, which is anticipated to be €10.00 per Ordinary Share, less any negative interest incurred in the Escrow Account in excess of the Negative Interest Cover (as defined below).
It is expected that the Company will have to pay negative interest in respect of the proceeds of the Offering held in the Escrow Account at the European Central Bank (variable) rate minus 15 bps ("Negative Interest"). Up to 50 bps of any Negative Interest incurred per annum (amounting to up to €1,750,000) (the "Negative Interest Cover") will be borne by the Sponsor to allow, in case of redemptions of Ordinary Shares in connection with a Business Combination or an Amendment, for a repurchase price of €10.00 per Ordinary Share (less the pro rata share of any Negative Interest incurred in excess of the Negative Interest Cover) or, in case of an Ordinary Share repurchase procedure and subsequent Liquidation after expiry of the Business Combination Deadline, for a repurchase price or Liquidation distribution, as the case may be, of €10.00 per Ordinary Share (less the pro rata share of any Negative Interest incurred in excess of the Negative Interest Cover).
The Company is designed with a capital structure that it believes will give the Founders strong financial incentives to seek a Business Combination that provides opportunities for growth and enhanced value.
Prior to the date of this Prospectus, the Sponsor acquired 4,315,000 Founder Shares (as defined below) and each of the three non-executive Directors, as an investment, subscribed for 20,000 of the Founder Shares at an aggregate fair market value of €200. On or prior to the Settlement Date, the Sponsor will purchase 5,834,000 Founder Warrants (as defined below). The subscription by the Sponsor for its Founder Shares and the purchase of the 5,834,000 Founder Warrants is collectively referred to as the "Founder Private Placement". In addition, on or prior to the Settlement Date, the Company will also settle a previously extended outstanding loan of €999,000 (the "Sponsor Loan") made by the Sponsor to the Company to cover expenses relating to the Offering and Admission through the issuance of 666,000 Founder Warrants at a price of €1.50 each. As a result of the Founder Private Placement and the settlement of the Sponsor Loan, the Company will have issued up to 4,315,000 Founder Shares and up to 6,500,000 founder warrants (the "Founder Warrants") to the Sponsor as at the Settlement Date, resulting in gross proceeds in the amount of €9,793,150. The proceeds from the Founder Private Placement and the Sponsor Loan will be used by the Company to cover the costs related to (i) the Offering and Admission, (ii) the Negative Interest Cover, (iii) the initial underwriting commission of the Sole Global Coordinator, (iv) the search for, and completion of, a Business Combination and (v) other running costs of the Company.
In addition, Alex Beard will subscribe for 1,000,000 Units in the Offering for an aggregate subscription price of €10,000,000. The Units to be subscribed for by Alex Beard will rank pari passu with all other Units sold in the Offering.
Founder Promote: Rights to dividends and other distributions declared and paid on the Founder Shares have been waived until completion of a Business Combination. Any dividends and other distributions declared and paid prior to that time will therefore not accrue in favour of
the Founder Shares. Following the completion of the Business Combination, the economic rights in respect of the Founder Shares will no longer be waived in accordance with the following schedule: (i) (1/2) on the date of completion of the Business Combination (the "Business Combination Date") and (ii) (1/2) if, following the Business Combination Date, the closing price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds €12.00 per Ordinary Share for any 10 trading days within a 30 consecutive-trading day period, provided that if a merger, demerger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganisation or other similar transaction (a "Strategic Transaction") is consummated that results in all shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash or securities or other property, and the effective consideration per Ordinary Share in such Strategic Transaction equals or exceeds €12.00, the economic rights in respect of such Founder Shares will no longer be waived.
Founder lock-up: Each of the Sponsor and the non-executive Directors has committed not to transfer, assign, sell or contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or announce an offer of any Founder Shares or Founder Warrants (or any interest therein in or respect thereof), as the case may be, or enter into any transaction with the same economic effect as any of the foregoing without the prior written consent of the Sole Global Coordinator, save to certain permitted transferees, and: (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, from the Settlement Date until the earlier of (a) 365 calendar days after the Business Combination Date or (b) if the closing share price of the Ordinary Shares on Euronext Amsterdam equals or exceeds €12.00 per share (subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 Trading Days within any 30 consecutive Trading Day period commencing at least 150 calendar days after the Business Combination Date and (ii) in respect of the Founder Warrants, until the period ending 30 calendar days from the Business Combination Date, save that the foregoing restrictions under (i) and (ii) shall not apply to the extent required to pay or provide liquidity for any withholding by the Company relating to, or taxation that becomes due and payable by, the Sponsor, the Directors or any permitted transferees, as the case may be, in connection with the Business Combination. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the restrictions set forth above to the extent applicable to the initial holders of such securities.
The Founder Shares are ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, having a nominal value of €0.01 each and numbered 1 through 4,375,000 (the "Founder Shares"). The Founder Shares will be listed and admitted to trading on Euronext Amsterdam under the symbol ENTPA (same as for the Ordinary Shares) and the ISIN NL0015000F82 (same as for the Ordinary Shares). The Founder Shares will, represent, in the aggregate, on a fully diluted basis, 20% of the total number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares on the Settlement Date.
If the Company intends to complete a Business Combination, it will convene an extraordinary general meeting and will propose the Business Combination to the Company's shareholders (the "Business Combination EGM"). The resolution of the Business Combination EGM to effect a Business Combination will require the prior approval of at least a simple majority of the votes cast.
Upon completion of the Business Combination, subject to complying with applicable law and satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company will repurchase the Ordinary Shares held by holders of Ordinary Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include holders of the Founder Shares) that elect to redeem their Ordinary Shares, irrespective of whether and how they voted at the Business Combination EGM, in accordance with the terms set out in the share repurchase arrangement, full details and terms and conditions of which will be provided in the convocation materials for the Business Combination EGM (the "Redemption Arrangement"). The gross repurchase price of an Ordinary Share under the Redemption Arrangement is equal to a pro rata share of funds in the Escrow Account as determined two trading days prior to the Business Combination EGM, which is anticipated to be €10.00 per Ordinary Share, less the pro rata share of any negative interest incurred in the Escrow Account.
J.P. Morgan AG is acting as sole global coordinator and sole bookrunner for the Offering (the "Sole Global Coordinator").
A listing prospectus (the "Prospectus") prepared in connection with the admission to listing and trading of the Ordinary Shares and the Warrants on Euronext Amsterdam is expected to be published and made
available at no cost on the Company's website on or around 15 July 2021. Further details will be included in the Prospectus.
Investing in any of the Units, the Ordinary Shares and the Warrants involves risks. A description of these risks will be included in the Prospectus once published and should be carefully considered before investing in any of the Units, the Ordinary Shares or the Warrants.
