On September 15, 2021, upon the consummation of the Business Combinations, the Reporting Persons acquired (or have been deemed to have acquired) beneficial ownership of shares of Class B Common Stock and Opco Class A Units pursuant to the Archaea Merger Agreement. As disclosed in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D, on May 11, 2022, Rice Sponsor distributed all of its securities of the Issuer to its members, including Messrs.

On October 16, 2022, the Issuer and Opco entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with BP Products North America Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Parent”), Condor RTM Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Condor RTM LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Opco Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Issuer Merger”), and Opco Merger Sub will be merged with and into Opco with Opco continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Opco Merger” and, together with the Issuer Merger, the “Mergers”). Messrs. Rice and Stork are members of the Board, which unanimously approved the Mergers.

 

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Issuer Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of Class A Common Stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Class A Common Stock that are held by the Issuer as treasury stock or owned by Parent, Merger Sub, Opco Merger Sub or any other subsidiaries thereof, or any shares of Class A Common Stock as to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised in accordance with Delaware law), will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive $26.00, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Price”), (ii) each share of Class A Common Stock that is held by the Issuer as treasury stock or owned by Parent, Merger Sub, Opco Merger Sub or any other subsidiaries thereof, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be automatically cancelled and extinguished without conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor and (iii) each share of Class B Common Stock will be automatically cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Opco Merger (the “Opco Merger Effective Time”), (i) each Opco Class A Unit held by a holder other than the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries (such holders, the “Specified Opco Holders”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Opco Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Per Share Price and (ii) each Opco Class A Unit held by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Opco Merger Effective Time will become an equivalent number of limited liability company interests of the surviving Opco held by the Issuer, as the surviving corporation in the Issuer Merger.

 

Each of the Issuer’s warrants will be redeemed for cash immediately following the Opco Merger Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement, as amended, which provides that immediately following the Opco Merger Effective Time, each warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically redeemed for the right to receive an amount, in cash, equal to (i) the Per Share Price minus (ii) the Warrant Price (as defined in the warrant agreement and which is currently $11.50) as reduced pursuant to the calculation provided in Section 4.4 of the warrant agreement, without interest.

 

The closing of the Mergers is conditioned on certain conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock, (ii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) approvals and clearances by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and (iv) other customary conditions for a transaction of this type, such as the absence of any legal restraint prohibiting the consummation of the Mergers and the absence of any Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of the Issuer, including Mr. Rice, Mr. Walton, Shalennial Fund, two entities controlled by Mr. Stork, an entity for which Messrs. Stork and Walton serve as managers, and an entity controlled by Mr. Walton, executed a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) in favor of Parent, pursuant to which such stockholders have agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of the Issuer’s common stock owned by them, collectively constituting approximately 27% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock, in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to copies of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement, which are filed hereto as Exhibit 99.8 and Exhibit 99.9, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

On April 7, 2021, in connection with its entry into the Business Combination Agreements, the Issuer entered into subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), including certain entities controlled by Messrs. Stork and/or Walton, pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Issuer agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 30.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $300.0 million ($10.00 per share), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “PIPE Financing”).

In connection with the entry by the Issuer and Opco into the Merger Agreement, on October 16, 2022, Opco, the Issuer and certain holders of Opco Class A Units, including Mr. Rice, Mr. Walton, Shalennial Fund, two entities controlled by Mr. Stork, an entity for which Messrs. Stork and Walton serve as managers, and an entity controlled by Mr. Walton, entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Opco (the “Opco LLC Agreement Amendment”). The Opco LLC Agreement Amendment authorizes the Issuer, as the managing member of Opco, to appoint a unitholder representative to act on behalf of the holders of Opco Class A Units in connection with certain tax matters, as contemplated by Section 6.17 of the Merger Agreement.

 

Transfer Restrictions

 

The Opco LLC Agreement contains restrictions on transfers of Opco Class A Units and requires the prior consent of the Issuer, as the managing member of Opco, for such transfers, except, in each case, for (i) certain transfers set forth therein and (ii) transfers to any Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement). Transfers of the Opco Class A Units held by certain of the Reporting Persons are subject to the lock-up period described below under “Stockholders’ Agreement” and set forth in Section 7 of the Stockholders’ Agreement unless otherwise consented to by the Issuer.

 

Redemption and Call Rights

 

Holders of Opco Class A Units (other than the Issuer) have the right (the “Redemption Right”), subject to certain limitations, to exchange Opco Class A Units for (i) shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, or (ii) at the Issuer’s option, a corresponding amount of cash. Holders of Opco Class A Units (other than RAC) will generally be permitted to exercise the exchange right on a quarterly basis, subject to certain de minimis allowances. In addition, the Opco LLC Agreement provides that additional exchanges may occur (i) in connection with certain events, including registered offerings, and (ii) with respect to certain block exchanges, provided that, subject to the Issuer’s prior written consent to the contrary, any redeeming holder (a) redeem not less than 500,000 Opco Class A Units or (b) in the event such redeeming holder holds less than 500,000 Opco Class A Units, all of such holders’ Opco Class A Units are redeemed, in each case at any time upon ten business days’ advanced notice. Following any exchange of Opco Class A Units, the Issuer will retain the Opco Class A Units and cancel the same number of shares of the Class B Common Stock.

 

The Opco LLC Agreement also provides that the Issuer or a member of the PubCo Holdings Group (as defined therein) may elect to purchase directly and acquire any such Opco Class A Units on the redemption date by paying to the redeeming holder that number of shares of Class A Common Stock or cash, whereupon the Issuer or such member of the PubCo Holdings Group shall become the owner of such Opco Class A Units.

 

The foregoing description of the Opco LLC Agreement and the Opco LLC Agreement Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy thereof filed as Exhibit 99.6 and Exhibit 99.10, respectively, hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Stockholders’ Agreement

 

On the Closing Date, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combinations, certain of the Reporting Persons (specifically, Shalennial Fund, certain entities controlled by Mr. Stork or Mr. Walton) entered into the Stockholders’ Agreement with the Issuer, Opco and certain other stockholders and parties thereto.

 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement, among other things, (i) the Board shall initially consist of seven members, (ii) the holders of a majority of the Company Interests (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) held by the RAC Sponsor Holders (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) will have the right to designate two directors for appointment or election to the Board during the term of the Stockholders’ Agreement, (iii) the Ares Investor (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) will have the right to designate one director for appointment or election to the Board for so long as the Ares Investor holds at least 50% of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) held by it on the Closing Date, (iv) the Board shall take all necessary action to designate the person then serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer for appointment or election to the Board during the term of the Stockholders’ Agreement and (v) the Board will have the right to designate three independent directors (the “Independent Directors”) for appointment or election to the Board during the term of the Stockholders’ Agreement. Effective immediately after the Business Combinations Effective Time, Mr. Rice was elected to the Board as the designee of certain of the RAC Sponsor Holders, and Mr. Stork (who serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer) was elected to the Board. Until the Ares Investor no longer holds at least 50% of the Registrable Securities held by it on the Closing Date, the Aria Holders have the right to consult on the persons to be designated as Independent Directors. If neither of the two directors nominated by the RAC Sponsor Holders are reasonably determined to be “independent directors,” the Board shall be permitted in its sole discretion to increase the size of the Board to nine members and to fill the two additional directorships with two additional “independent directors” nominated by the Board. As of March 25, 2022, the Ares Investor no longer holds any Registrable Securities.

 

The Stockholders’ Agreement provides that the RAC Sponsor Holders and the Archaea Holders (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement and which includes Archaea LLC, Shalennial Fund, the entities controlled by Mr. Stork which received securities pursuant to the Archaea Merger Agreement and the entities controlled by Mr. Walton which received securities pursuant to the Archaea Merger Agreement) will vote all voting shares held by such holder in such manner as may be necessary to elect and/or maintain in office as members of the Board those individuals designated in accordance with the foregoing terms as set forth in Section 3 of the Stockholders’ Agreement. As a result, the foregoing persons may be deemed to be members of a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, comprised of the Reporting Persons and the other Archaea Holders. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim any membership in a group with such persons. The beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons does not include any Class A Common Stock that may be beneficially owned by any such persons or their respective affiliates, and the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership over such securities.

 

Also, the Aria Holders (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) were subject to a 180-day lock-up period on transferring their equity interests in the Issuer and Opco. The Archaea Holders (x) are subject to a lock-up period ending on the date that is the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date solely with respect to the Company Interests distributed by Archaea LLC after the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date to the Archaea Holders who are members of management of the Issuer as of the Closing or their Affiliates (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement), and (y) were subject to a lock-up period that ended on the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to all other Company Interests issued to the Archaea Holders at the Closing other than those described in the immediately foregoing clause (x). The lock-up restrictions that were applicable to the Aria Holders were subject to early expiration based on the per share trading price of the Class A Common Stock as set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement. As of March 25, 2022, the Ares Investor no longer holds any Registrable Securities.

 

In addition, the Stockholders’ Agreement provides for certain customary registration rights, pursuant to which, among other things, the Issuer was required to file with the SEC, and have declared effective, a registration statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Act registering the resale of the Registrable Securities held by the Registration Rights Parties (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement), and the Registration Rights Parties may request underwritten offerings as well as participate in other offerings conducted by the Issuer for its own account or the account of another person, in each case, on the terms set forth therein.

 

The foregoing description of the Stockholders’ Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy thereof filed as Exhibit 99.7 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

Letter Agreement

 

Rice Sponsor, Atlas Point Energy Infrastructure Fund, LLC (“Atlas Point Fund”) and certain of RAC’s officers and directors (including Mr. Rice) entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) at the time of RAC’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), pursuant to which they agreed to vote any shares of capital stock of RAC owned by them in favor of an initial business combination of RAC and to waive their right to have their stock redeemed by RAC. The Letter Agreement also provided that, subject to certain exceptions, such holders’ securities of RAC and any shares of Class A Common Stock acquired upon exchange of such securities, may not be transferred, assigned or sold until the earlier of (x) one year after the completion of RAC’s initial business combination or earlier if, subsequent to RAC’s business combination, the last sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after RAC’s initial business combination, or (y) the date on which RAC completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after RAC’s initial business combination that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. The Letter Agreement also provided that the warrants acquired by Rice Sponsor and Atlas Point Fund may not be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days following the completion of RAC’s initial business combination, subject to certain exceptions. The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy thereof filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.
