EVgo Inc. (Successor) and EVgo Services LLC (Predecessor)
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Description of business and nature of operations
EVgo Services LLC (“EVgo Services,” “Predecessor”) builds publicly available and customer-dedicated electric vehicle (“EV”) charging stations capable of charging electric vehicles either via direct current power or alternating current power. It has built, and continues to expand, a national ecosystem of public charging stations and fleet charging solutions. EVgo Services provides electric vehicle charging programs to retail consumers in a variety of options as well as charging services to automotive and fleet customers. Other software services and ancillary services represent a small but growing part of the business as well.
On January 16, 2020 (the “Holdco Merger Date”), EVgo Services and its investors consummated the transactions contemplated pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger”) with EVgo Holdco, LLC (“EVgo Holdco”), whereby EVgo Services became a wholly-owned subsidiary of EVgo Holdco, resulting in a change in control by the Predecessor. EVgo Holdco, controlled by LS Power Equity Partners IV, L.P. (“LS Power”), had no operations prior to the Merger. The Company elected push-down accounting and all of the Company’s assets and liabilities related to LS Power were remeasured at fair value on the Holdco Merger Date. LS Power was considered to be the accounting acquirer and formed EVgo Holdings, LLC (“EVgo Holdings”) and EVgo Holdco as part of the transaction.
EVgo Inc. (the “Company”, “Successor,” “EVgo”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 4, 2020 under the name “Climate Change Crisis Real Impact I Acquisition Corporation” (“CRIS”). The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 29, 2020 and the Company signed an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters to issue 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 which is described in Note 3. On October 2, 2020 the Company completed the Initial Public Offering. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the sale of 6,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Climate Change Crisis Real Impact I Acquisition Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,600,000.
On July 1, 2021 (the “CRIS Close Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced business combination (the “CRIS Business Combination”), with CRIS, SPAC Sub, EVgo Holdings, EVgo Holdco and EVgo OpCo, LLC (“EVgo OpCo” and together with EVgo Holdings and EVgo Holdco, the “EVgo Parties”) pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated January 21, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”). Following the CRIS Close Date, the combined company is organized in an “Up-C” structure in which the business of EVgo HoldCo and its subsidiaries are held by EVgo OpCo and continue to operate through the subsidiaries of EVgo HoldCo, and in which the Company’s only direct assets consist of equity interests in SPAC Sub, which, in turn, holds only common units in EVgo OpCo (EVgo OpCo Units”).
Immediately following the CRIS Close Date, the Company, through SPAC Sub, owned approximately 26.0% of the EVgo OpCo Units. As the sole managing member of EVgo OpCo, SPAC Sub operates and controls all of the business and affairs of EVgo OpCo, and through EVgo OpCo and its subsidiaries, conducts its business. As a result, beginning on July 1, 2021 (the CRIS Close Date), the Company consolidated the financial results of EVgo OpCo and recorded a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements to reflect the EVgo OpCo Units that are owned by EVgo Holdings after the CRIS Close Date. Immediately following the CRIS Close Date, EVgo Holdings held 195,800,000 EVgo OpCo Units, representing approximately 74.0% of the total outstanding EVgo OpCo Units, and an equal of number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock.
Each EVgo OpCo Unit, together with one share of Class B common stock, is redeemable, subject to certain conditions, for either one share of Class A common stock, or, at OpCo’s election, the cash equivalent to the market value
