Description of the Business Combination

 

On December 14, 2022, MBSC, Greenfire, New Greenfire, DE Merger Sub and Canadian Merger Sub, entered into a Business Combination Agreement pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, (i) Canadian Merger Sub will amalgamate with and into Greenfire pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, except that the legal existence of Greenfire will not cease and Greenfire will survive the Amalgamation, and Surviving Greenfire will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New Greenfire, and (ii) DE Merger Sub will merge with and into MBSC, with MBSC continuing as the surviving corporation following the Merger, as a result of which Surviving MBSC will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New Greenfire.

 

The transactions contemplated by the Transactions are structured as follows:

 

prior to the effectiveness of the Merger, by way of a Plan of Arrangement under the ABCA, Greenfire will complete a number of corporate steps as described below pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, whereby (i) the Greenfire Shareholders will receive a number of New Greenfire Common Shares as Share Consideration and a cash payment equal to their pro rata share of the Cash Consideration, in exchange for their Greenfire shares, all as determined in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, (ii) a portion of the Greenfire Performance Warrants to purchase Greenfire Common Shares issued pursuant to the Greenfire Equity Plan, whether vested or unvested, that are held by each Greenfire Performance Warrantholder will be deemed to be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment from Greenfire equal to the pro rata share of the Cash Consideration payable to the Greenfire Performance Warrantholders, as determined in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, and the remaining Greenfire Performance Warrants will be converted into New Greenfire Performance Warrants with substantially the same terms as the Greenfire Performance Warrants as adjusted in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, (iii) Canadian Merger Sub will amalgamate with and into Greenfire pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, except that the legal existence of Greenfire will not cease and Greenfire will survive the Amalgamation, and (iv) Surviving Greenfire will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Greenfire;

 

in accordance with the terms of the Greenfire Warrant Agreement, as amended by the Greenfire Supplemental Warrant Agreement: (a) a portion of the Greenfire Bond Warrants held by each holder of Greenfire Bond Warrants will be deemed to be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment from Greenfire equal to the pro rata share of the Cash Consideration payable to holders of Greenfire Bond Warrants as determined in accordance with the Greenfire Supplemental Warrant Agreement, following which (b) each remaining Greenfire Bond Warrant will be deemed to be exercised for Greenfire Common Shares pursuant to the terms of the Greenfire Warrant Agreement as amended by the Greenfire Supplemental Warrant Agreement, and each former holder of Greenfire Bond Warrants will, following the Amalgamation and in exchange for such Greenfire Common Shares, receive New Greenfire Common Shares as determined in accordance with the Greenfire Supplemental Warrant Agreement; and

 

on the Closing Date following the consummation of the transactions described above, DE Merger Sub will merge with and into MBSC, with MBSC continuing as the surviving corporation following the Merger, as a result of which Surviving MBSC will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New Greenfire, with the equity holders of MBSC receiving consideration as described in the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Disposition of Securities” of the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

 

Prior to the Merger Effective Time on the Closing Date, the following transactions will occur pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement:

 

The Shareholders Agreement among Greenfire and certain Greenfire Shareholders, dated August 5, 2021, will be terminated.

 

Greenfire Shareholders exercising dissent rights pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement will have their Greenfire Common Shares cancelled, and such Greenfire Shareholders will cease to have any rights as Greenfire Shareholders other than the right to be paid fair value for such Greenfire Common Shares as set forth in the Plan of Arrangement.

 

The Greenfire Founders will: (i) receive a dividend equal to the pro rata share of the Cash Consideration payable to Greenfire Founders; (ii) have their Greenfire Common Shares consolidated, and (iii) thereafter receive New Greenfire Common Shares, in exchange for their Greenfire Common Shares, all as determined in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

 

2

 

 

The Greenfire Employee Shareholders will: (i) through a series of transactions, receive a cash payment from Greenfire equal to the pro rata share of the Cash Consideration payable to Greenfire Employee Shareholders in consideration for a portion of the Greenfire Common Shares held by such Greenfire Employee Shareholders; and (ii) receive New Greenfire Common Shares, in exchange for their Greenfire Common Shares, all as determined in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

 

The Greenfire Performance Warrantholders will have a portion of their Greenfire Performance Warrants cancelled in exchange for a cash payment from Greenfire equal to the pro rata share of the Cash Consideration payable to the Greenfire Performance Warrantholders, and the remaining Greenfire Performance Warrants will be converted into New Greenfire Performance Warrants, in exchange for their Greenfire Common Shares, all as determined in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

 

Greenfire and Canadian Merger Sub will complete the Amalgamation to form one corporate entity with the same effect as if they had amalgamated under the ABCA except that the separate legal existence of Greenfire will not cease and Greenfire will survive the Amalgamation.

 

Upon the Amalgamation, the Greenfire Equity Plan will be deemed to be amended and restated by the New Greenfire Performance Warrant Plan.

 

5,000,000 New Greenfire Warrants, with an expiration date that is five years from the Closing of the Business Combination, will be issued to the pre-Merger holders of New Greenfire Common Shares and New Greenfire Performance Warrants in each case in the numbers determined in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

 

The directors of New Greenfire immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will resign and be replaced by a slate of directors to be determined prior to the Merger Effective Time, each to hold office until their respective term expires in accordance with the articles of incorporation of New Greenfire, or until their successors are elected or appointed.

 

Immediately prior to the Merger, the following will occur:

 

If the amount of the New Greenfire Debt Financing issued at the Closing exceeds $25,000,000, then 750,000 MBSC Class B Common Shares held by the MBSC Sponsor, will be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration;

 

2,500,000 MBSC Class B Common Shares held by the MBSC Sponsor will be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration (the bullet above and this bullet, together, the “MBSC Sponsor Class B Share Forfeitures”); and

 

3,260,000 MBSC Private Placement Warrants held by the MBSC Sponsor will be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration (the “MBSC Sponsor Warrant Forfeiture”).

 

To the extent any units of MBSC issued in the MBSC IPO (“MBSC Units”) remain outstanding and unseparated, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, the MBSC Class A Common Shares and MBSC Public Warrants comprising each such issued and outstanding MBSC Unit immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be automatically separated (the “Unit Separation”) and the holder of each MBSC Unit will be deemed to hold one MBSC Class A Common Share and one-third (1/3) of one MBSC Public Warrant.

 

In addition, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, but subsequent to the Unit Separation, MBSC will redeem all of the MBSC Public Warrants at $0.50 per MBSC Public Warrant (the “MBSC Public Warrant Redemption”).

At the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the parties or any other person, the following will occur:

 

each issued and outstanding MBSC Class A Common Share, other than any Excluded MBSC Class A Common Shares and after giving effect to the MBSC Stockholder Redemption and the amount of PIPE Financing consisting of subscriptions for MBSC Class A Common Shares, if any, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, will be automatically converted into and exchanged for the right to receive (i) if an amount in cash less than or equal to $100,000,000 is remaining in the Trust Account after giving effect to the MBSC Stockholder Redemption, one New Greenfire Common Share and (ii) if an amount in cash greater than $100,000,000 is remaining in the Trust Account after giving effect to the MBSC Stockholder Redemption, (A) a fraction of a New Greenfire Common Share equal to $100,000,000 divided by the amount in the Trust Account after giving effect to the MBSC Stockholder Redemption, and (B) an amount in cash equal to the quotient of (I) the amount in the Trust Account after giving effect to the MBSC Stockholder Redemption that exceeds $100,000,000 minus the MBSC Extension Amount at the Merger Effective Time divided by (II) the number of MBSC Class A Common Shares (other than any Excluded MBSC Class A Common Shares and after giving effect to the MBSC Stockholder Redemption and the amount of PIPE Financing consisting of subscriptions for MBSC Class A Common Shares, if any, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements);

 

each issued and outstanding MBSC Class B Common Share (after giving effect to the MBSC Sponsor Class B Share Forfeitures and any other transfers of MBSC Class B Common Shares in connection with the Closing) will be automatically converted into and exchanged for the right to receive (i) one New Greenfire Common Share and (ii) an amount in cash equal to the quotient of (A) the MBSC Working Capital plus the MBSC Extension Amount at the Merger Effective Time divided by (B) the number of MBSC Class B Common Shares outstanding at the Closing;

 

each MBSC Private Placement Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (after giving effect to the MBSC Sponsor Warrant Forfeiture and any other forfeitures of MBSC Warrants in connection with the Closing) will be automatically and irrevocably converted into one New Greenfire Warrant on the same terms as were in effect immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time pursuant to the MBSC Private Warrant Agreement;

 

each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DE Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will convert automatically into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Surviving MBSC; and

 

each Excluded MBSC Class A Common Share will be cancelled for no consideration.

 

For more information on the disposition of securities, including of MBSC, in connection with the Business Combination see the subsection “The Business Combination — Disposition of Securities” in the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

 

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

 

Given the substance of the transaction, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a share-based payment transaction within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (“IFRS 2”) as it relates to instruments issued to acquire the stock exchange listing service received and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and under IAS 32 — Financial Instruments: Presentations (“IAS 32”) as it relates to instruments issued in exchange of MBSC Private Placement Warrants. Greenfire will be treated as the “acquirer” and MBSC will be treated as the “acquiree” for financial reporting purposes given that Greenfire’s operations will comprise the operations of New Greenfire, Greenfire’s executive management will be the executive management of New Greenfire, Greenfire’s director nominees will hold the majority of director seats of New Greenfire, and Greenfire’s existing shareholders will be the largest shareholder group of New Greenfire.

 

As part of the Business Combination, there are a portion of the MBSC Private Placement Warrants that are not forfeited which will be assumed by New Greenfire as part of the Business Combination. As New Greenfire Public Warrants are issued as replacement of the MBSC Private Placement Warrants assumed, the exchange of warrants is accounted for under IAS 32, as the New Greenfire Public Warrants were not issued to acquire goods or services and are not in the scope of IFRS 2. Based on the information currently available, it is expected the fair value of MBSC Private Placement Warrants will have similar fair value as those of New Greenfire Public Warrants as of the Closing, no material impact into profit or loss is expected.

 

4

 

 

The remaining instruments issued as part of the Business Combination (i.e., common shares issued by New Greenfire) are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2. IFRS 2 requires that the difference in the fair value of the instruments issued as consideration for the acquisition of MBSC (i.e., common shares issued by New Greenfire) over the fair value of the remaining identifiable net assets of MBSC (i.e., those identifiable net assets not accounted for pursuant to IAS 32) will represent a service for the listing of New Greenfire and be recognized as a listing expense. The fair value of the instruments issued as consideration for the acquisition of MBSC was determined using the price referenced in the Transaction Financing of $10.10 per share.

 

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

New Greenfire reports its historical financial information in Canadian Dollars (“CAD$”), Greenfire reports its historical financial information in CAD$ and MBSC reports its historical financial information in U.S. Dollars (“US$”). For purposes of this presentation, all US$ statement of financial position amounts have been translated into CAD$ using an exchange rate of US$1.00 to CAD$1.32. All US$ statement of profit (loss) and comprehensive profit (loss) amounts have been translated into CAD$ using an average exchange rate of US$1.00 to CAD$1.35 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and US$1.00 to CAD$1.30 for the year ended December 31, 2022. All amounts reported within this pro forma financial information are CAD$ unless otherwise noted as US$.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of MBSC Common Shares:

 

Assuming No Redemptions: This scenario assumes that no MBSC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to the MBSC Common Shares received in exchange for its MBSC Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account.

 

Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This scenario assumes that 30,000,000 MBSC Class A Common Shares subject to redemption are redeemed for an aggregate redemption payment of approximately CAD$412.5 million (US$311.5 million) based on an estimated per share redemption price of approximately CAD$13.37 (US$10.10) that was calculated using the US$312 million of cash in the Trust Account divided by 30,000,000 MBSC Public Shares subject to redemption assuming the pro forma maximum redemption scenario pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

 

The following summarizes the pro forma ownership of New Greenfire Common Shares following the Business Combination under the no redemption, 50% redemption and maximum redemption scenarios (basic):

The historical consolidated financial statements of Greenfire have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in its presentation and reporting currency of CAD$. The historical financial statements of MBSC have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP in its presentation and reporting currency of US$.

 

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a share-based payment transaction, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Under this method of accounting, MBSC will be treated as the “accounting acquiree” and Greenfire as the “accounting acquirer” for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Greenfire issuing shares for the net assets of MBSC, followed by a recapitalization by New Greenfire. The net assets of Greenfire will be stated at historical cost.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2023 gives effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they occurred on June 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of profit (loss) and comprehensive profit (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2022.

 

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination and the related transaction are based on currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that Greenfire management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible that the difference may be material. Greenfire management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination and the related transactions based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination and related transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of New Greenfire, Greenfire and MBSC.

 

Pro forma combined reserve information that gives effect to the Business Combination has been omitted from this pro forma presentation as MBSC does not control any mineral assets and any pro forma reserve disclosure would be identical to the reserve disclosures of Greenfire provided in the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement in accordance with the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board Topic 932 — “Extractive Activities — Oil and Gas.”

Note 2. IFRS Policy and Presentation Alignment

 

The historical financial information of MBSC has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. The adjustment required to convert MBSC’s financial statements from U.S. GAAP to IFRS for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

(aa)MBSC Class A Common Shares subject to possible redemption balance of US$311.5 million classified as mezzanine equity under U.S. GAAP are reclassified to non-current liabilities under IFRS because the right to redeem the MBSC Class A Common Shares is at the option of the holder.

 

(bb)MBSC Public Warrants of US$8.2 million classified as additional paid-in capital under U.S. GAAP are reclassified to derivative liabilities under IFRS because the MBSC Public Warrants are deemed to settle in MBSC Class A Common Shares, which are classified as financial liabilities under IFRS.

 

(cc)MBSC Class B Common Shares include an amount of US$0.02 million recorded as additional paid-in capital under U.S. GAAP. This balance has been reclassified to share capital as a change in presentation under IFRS.

 

(dd)Transaction costs of US$0.5 million related to the issuance of MBSC Private Warrants and MBSC Public Warrants are recorded against additional paid-in capital under U.S. GAAP and are expensed in the statement of profit (loss) and comprehensive profit (loss) under IFRS.

 

(ee)Transaction costs of US$20.1 million related to the issuance of MBSC Class A Common Shares are recorded against mezzanine equity under U.S. GAAP and are expensed in the statement of profit (loss) and comprehensive profit (loss) under IFRS.

 

US$8.2 million initially allocated on a relative fair value basis to the MBSC Public Warrants under U.S. GAAP is recorded through the statement of profit (loss) and comprehensive profit (loss) under IFRS to recognize the MBSC Class A Common Shares classified as non-current liabilities at their redemption amount.

 

The change in the redemption amount of the MBSC Class A Common Shares classified as mezzanine equity under U.S. GAAP is recorded in accumulated deficit of US$9.3 million and additional paid-in capital of US$18.9 million under U.S. GAAP, and is eliminated, as such an entry would not be recorded under IFRS.

 

(ff)The change in the redemption amount of MBSC Class A Common Shares of US$3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, US$3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and US$5.4 million for six months ended June 30, 2023 was recorded in mezzanine equity and accumulated deficit, respectively, under U.S. GAAP. Under IFRS, these balances are recorded through the statement of profit (loss) and comprehensive profit (loss), inclusive of foreign exchange impact of CAD$0.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and CAD$0.2 million, for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

(gg)Reflects the reclassification of the MBSC Private Placement Warrants of US$11.3 million from equity to derivative liabilities under IFRS because the MBSC Private Placement Warrants are deemed to settle in MBSC Class A Common Shares, which are classified as financial liabilities under IFRS.

 

Further, as part of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, MBSC’s operating and formation costs of US$0.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and US$2.8 million, for the year ended December 31, 2022, were reclassified to align with the presentation of Greenfire’s historical financial statements. Refer to adjustment (i).

CAD$3.7 million (US$2.8 million) has been paid by Greenfire as of December 31, 2022.

The consideration for the acquisition of MBSC was determined using the New Greenfire common share price referenced to the Transaction Financing at US$10.10 per share.

S.Represents the preliminary estimated expense recognized for the stock exchange listing service received, in accordance with IFRS 2, for the excess of the fair value of New Greenfire Common Shares issued to MBSC shareholders and the fair value of MBSC’s identifiable net assets at the date of the Business Combination, resulting in a CAD$82.5 million (US$62.3 million) decrease to retained earnings in a maximum redemption scenario. The adjustment recorded of CAD$10 million (US$7.6 million) is an incremental increase to retained earnings relative to the no redemption scenario. The consideration for the acquisition of MBSC was determined using the New Greenfire common share price referenced to the Transaction Financing at US$10.10 per share. A one percent change in the New Greenfire Common Share price would result in a change of CAD$0.6 million (US$0.4 million) in the estimated expense in a maximum redemption scenario.
