To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies, and Other Nominees:

 

Enclosed are the prospectus/offer to exchange, dated November 18, 2022 (as it may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), and the related letter of transmittal and consent (as it may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal and Consent”), which together set forth the offer of OPAL Fuels Inc., Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to each holder of the Company’s warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), to receive 0.250 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for each warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”). The Offer is made solely upon the terms and conditions in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and in the Letter of Transmittal and Consent. The Offer will be open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 16, 2022, or such later time and date to which the Company may extend the Offer. The period during which the Offer is open, giving effect to any withdrawal or extension, is referred to as the “Offer Period.” The date and time at which the Offer Period ends is referred to as the “Expiration Date.”

 

The Offer is being made to all holders of:

 

the warrants that were (i) sold in connection with the initial public offering of ArcLight Clean Transition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company and the Company’s predecessor (“Arclight”) (the “IPO”) (whether they were purchased in the IPO or thereafter in the open market) or (ii) initially issued as private placement warrants to certain parties in connection with the IPO that have been transferred to any person other than permitted transferees (collectively, the “public warrants”); and

 

the warrants that were issued to certain parties in a private placement in connection with the closing of the IPO that have not become public warrants as a result of being transferred to any person other than permitted transferees (the “private placement warrants” and, together with the public warrants, the “warrants”).

 

Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The public warrants are quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “OPALW.” As of November 16, 2022, 6,223,233 public warrants and 9,223,261 private placement warrants were outstanding. Pursuant to the Offer, the Company is offering up to an aggregate of 3,861,623 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for the warrants.

 

 

 

 

Each holder whose warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer will receive 0.250 shares of Class A Common Stock for each warrant tendered by such holder and exchanged. Any warrant holder that participates in the Offer may tender less than all of its warrants for exchange.

 

No fractional shares will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares pursuant to the Offer will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, be paid cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by the last sale price of Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the last trading day of the Offer Period, less any applicable withholding taxes. The Company’s obligation to complete the offer is not conditioned on the receipt of a minimum number of tendered public warrants.

 

Concurrently with the Offer, the Company is also soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the warrants to amend (the “Warrant Amendment”) that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2021, by and between the Company (as successor to ArcLight) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (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.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the proposed Warrant Amendment requires 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 100% of the outstanding private placement warrants have agreed to tender their public warrants and private placement warrants (as applicable) in the Offer and 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 described on the Offer and Consent Solicitation are satisfied or waived, then the Warrant Amendment will be adopted.

 

Holders of warrants may not consent to the Warrant Amendment without tendering warrants in the Offer and holders may not tender such warrants without consenting to the Warrant Amendment. The consent to the Warrant Amendment is a part of this Letter of Transmittal and Consent relating to the warrants and, therefore, by tendering warrants for exchange, holders will be delivering to us their consent to the Warrant Amendment. Warrant holders may revoke consent at any time prior to the Expiration Date by withdrawing the warrants holders have tendered in the Offer.

 

Warrants not exchanged for shares of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding subject to their current terms, or amended terms if the Warrant Amendment is approved. If the Warrant Amendment is approved, the Company intends to require the exchange of all outstanding warrants for shares of Class A Common Stock as provided in the Warrant Amendment.

 

THE OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION IS NOT MADE TO THOSE HOLDERS WHO RESIDE IN STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE AN OFFER, SOLICITATION, OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

(1) the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange;
