Description of Organization and Business Operations | Note 1. Description of Organization and Business Operations Organizational and General Regalwood Global Energy Ltd. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 14, 2017. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (an “Initial Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating its Initial Business Combination, the Company intends to make investments in oil and gas exploration and production, midstream, refining and marketing and energy services companies outside of North America that may provide opportunities for attractive risk-adjusted returns. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As of September 30, 2019, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity through September 30, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation, the preparation for the initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) and the search for a prospective Initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating The Company intends to finance its Initial Business Combination with proceeds from the Public Offering (Note 3), the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (Note 3), and additional issuances of the Company’s capital stock, debt or a combination of the foregoing. Upon the closings of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, $300,000,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) (discussed below). The registration statement for the Company’s Public Offering (as described in Note 3) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 30, 2017. On October 3, 2018, the Company received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that it was not currently in compliance with the requirement of Section 802.01B of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual (the “Manual”) that the Company’s Class A ordinary shares be held by a minimum of 300 public shareholders. Pursuant to such notice, the Company is subject to the procedures set forth in Sections 801 and 802 of the Manual. The Company submitted a business plan that demonstrates how the Company expects to return to compliance with the minimum public shareholders requirement within 18 months of receipt of the notice. The Company anticipates that it will satisfy this listing requirement within such time period once it locates a target business with which to consummate an initial business combination. Trust Account The proceeds held in the Trust Account are and will be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of one hundred eighty (180) days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay tax obligations, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Class A ordinary shares included in the Units (the “Public Shares”) sold in the Public Offering that have been properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to affect the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of such Public Shares if it has not consummated an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders. Initial Business Combination The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. If the Company’s securities continue to be listed on the NYSE, the Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow shareholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under NYSE rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will complete its Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a public shareholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such Class A ordinary shares are classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “ Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of ordinary shares, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein. Mandatory Liquidation and Going Concern Considerations The Company only has 24 months from the closing date of the Public Offering (until December 5, 2019) to complete an Initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing date of the Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share In the event of liquidation, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the Public Offering price per Unit. As of September 30, 2019, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its future obligations. Management has determined that the Company will receive advances from the Sponsor or funds in the form of working capital loans of up to $1,500,000 from the Sponsor entity that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the Initial Business Combination or December 5, 2019 (See Note 4).
