Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) have the respective meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement. References herein to “GoGreen” shall refer to GoGreen Investments Corporation for all periods prior to completion of the Merger and to Merger Sub, as the surviving company, for all periods after completion of the Merger.
In consideration for the Merger, each GoGreen shareholder will receive one Holdings ordinary share and one Holdings warrant for each ordinary share and whole warrant they hold in GoGreen, respectively, immediately prior to the Merger. In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the consideration to be received by the Company Shareholders (fully diluted for the exercise of Company options and Company RSUs) in connection with the Share Acquisition shall be the issuance of an aggregate number of Holdings ordinary shares equal to (a) $626,801,280 divided by (b) $10.00. As additional consideration for the Company ordinary shares acquired by Holdings in connection with the Share Acquisition, Holdings will issue to eligible Company Shareholders up to an aggregate of 25,072,052 Earnout Shares, subject to certain triggering events, as described further in the Business Combination Agreement.

Company ordinary shares delivered pursuant to the exercise or settlement of a Company equity award will be treated the same as other Company ordinary shares in connection with the Share Acquisition Closing.
