SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER 5, 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 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 has 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. TPG’s obligation to purchase the forward purchase securities may be transferred, in whole or in part to certain third parties (the “forward transferees”), provided that upon such transfer the forward transferees assume the rights and obligations of TPG. As an inducement to a transferee that is not an affiliate of TPG to assume TPG’s obligation to purchase the forward purchase securities, we may agree to issue on a case-by-case basis to such transferee at the time of the forward purchase, in addition to the forward purchase securities, an additional number of Class A ordinary shares equal to 10% of the forward purchase shares purchased by such transferee, or up to an aggregate of 500,000 additional Class A ordinary shares, for no additional cash consideration, potentially lowering the effective purchase price of the forward purchase shares to approximately $9.09 per Class A ordinary share. In addition, the sponsor shall forfeit a number of Class F ordinary shares equal to such additional amount of Class A ordinary shares issued to such transferee, or up to an aggregate of 500,000 Class F ordinary shares, at the time of the forward purchase.
We also have entered into additional forward purchase agreements (the “additional forward purchase agreements”) which provide that other third parties (the “additional forward purchasers”) have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 5,500,000 Class A ordinary shares, at a price of approximately $9.09 per Class A ordinary share (the “additional forward purchase shares”), plus 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 approximately $50,000,000. In connection with the additional forward purchase agreements, the sponsor shall forfeit 500,000 Class F ordinary shares at the time of the additional forward purchase.
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 Beneficial Finance 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.
