Business Combination and Related Agreements
On November 16, 2020, the Issuer consummated its business combination with Eos Energy Storage LLC (“Eos”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 7, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Eos and the other parties thereto (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

II” to “Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.” In addition, all of the issued and outstanding shares of B. Riley Principal Merger Corp. II’s (“BMRG”) Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, converted into shares of BMRG’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, on a one-for-one basis and all of the shares of BMRG’s Class A common stock were then reclassified into a single class of common stock of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. Accordingly, references to shares of BMRG’s Class B common stock or BMRG’s Class A common stock throughout this Schedule 13D refer to shares of common stock of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.
In connection with the Business Combination, BRF entered into an Equity Commitment Letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) with the Issuer, pursuant to which BRF committed to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, less the number of shares of Common Stock already issued pursuant to subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (“PIPE investors”) entered into prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter, BRPI purchased 1,167,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. The Equity Commitment Letter effectively terminated the Forward Purchase Agreement.
Two affiliates of BRF, BRPLP and BRPI, are PIPE investors and purchased $1,400,000 and $10,000,000, respectively, of shares of Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, or 140,000 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively.
