SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 3, 2020
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
$350,000,000
TPG Pace Beneficial Finance Corp.
35,000,000 Units
TPG Pace Beneficial Finance Corp. is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as our initial business combination. We have not identified any business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.
This is an initial public offering of our securities. Each unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A ordinary shares”) and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (the “redeemable warrants”).
Each whole redeemable warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in this prospectus, and only whole redeemable warrants are exercisable.
We have also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 5,250,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any.
Prior to this offering, we will have entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “original forward purchase agreement”) with an affiliate of TPG Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its affiliates, “TPG”). Pursuant to the forward purchase agreement, TPG will have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, at a price of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share (the “forward purchase shares”), plus an aggregate of 1,000,000 warrants to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share (the “forward purchase warrants” and, together with the forward purchase shares, the “forward purchase securities”), for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000. We also expect to enter into additional forward purchase agreements (the “additional forward purchase agreements”) which will provide that TPG and other third parties (collectively, the “additional forward purchasers”) will purchase up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, at a price of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share (the “additional forward purchase shares”), plus up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 warrants to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share (the “additional forward purchase warrants” and, together with the additional forward purchase shares, the “additional forward purchase securities”), for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000.
We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account described below as of two business days prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Class A ordinary shares that were sold as part of the units in this offering, which we refer to collectively as our public shares throughout this prospectus, subject to the limitations described herein. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering, we will redeem 100% of the public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described herein.
Our sponsor, TPG Pace IV Sponsor, Series LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company and an affiliate of TPG (which we refer to as our “sponsor” throughout this prospectus) has committed to purchase an aggregate of 6,000,000 private placement warrants (or 6,700,000 private placement warrants if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) at a price of $1.50 per warrant (approximately $9,000,000 in the aggregate or approximately $10,050,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of this offering. We refer to these warrants throughout this prospectus as the private placement warrants. Each private placement warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
