Note 1 — Description of the Transactions
Business Combination
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on July 21, 2022 ArcLight changed its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as a Cayman Islands exempted company and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). Following the Domestication, on July 21, 2022, ArcLight changed its name to “OPAL Fuels Inc.” (which is referred to herein as “New OPAL”) and each outstanding ArcLight Class B ordinary share converted into one ArcLight Class A ordinary share, each outstanding ArcLight Class A ordinary share became one share of Class A common stock of New OPAL, par value $0.0001 per share (the “New OPAL Class A common stock”), and each outstanding warrant to purchase one ArcLight Class A ordinary share became a warrant to purchase one share of New OPAL Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination on July 21, 2022, the Combined Company (“Combined Company” refers to New OPAL and its subsidiaries, including Opco, following consummation of the Business Combinations) is organized in an “Up-C” structure.

| ● | At the Closing, ArcLight (i) contributed to Opco $128,362,579 in cash, representing the sum of cash in the Trust Account as of immediately prior to the Closing (after giving effect to the ACT Share Redemptions from the Trust Account and the set aside of funds in escrow to support a forward purchase agreement (described further below)) plus the aggregate proceeds of the PIPE Investment received as of the Closing and (ii) issued to Opco 144,399,037 shares of Class D common stock of New OPAL, par value $0.0001 per share (“New OPAL Class D common stock”) (which it in turn distributed to OPAL Holdco and Hillman), and (iii) issued 3,059,533 shares of New OPAL Class A common stock to Ares, collectively, in exchange for a number of Class A Units of Opco equal to the 25,171,390 shares of New OPAL Class A common stock issued and outstanding. |
In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, ArcLight entered into the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which, among other things, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the PIPE Investors party thereto purchased an aggregate of 11,080,600 shares of New OPAL Class A common stock at a cash purchase price of $10.00 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of $110.8 million from the PIPE Investment ($105.8 million of which was received as of the Closing and $5.0 million of which was received subsequent to the Closing).
Other related events that have taken place in connection with the Business Combination are summarized below:

Pursuant to such letter agreement, Sponsor further agreed that if the Company were to receive less than $6,800,000 in cash upon the release of the escrow fund established pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement (such shortfall amount being referred to as the “Shortfall Amount”), Sponsor shall transfer, pledge or forfeit up to an additional 102,000 of the Sponsor Earnout Awards (shares of New OPAL Class A common stock subject to vesting conditions noted above), with such maximum number of shares pro-rated on a directly proportionate basis based on the size of the Shortfall Amount relative to $6,800,000. |

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Only Transaction Accounting Adjustments are presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the notes thereto. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the Combined Company following consummation of the Transactions.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to several uncertainties and assumptions as described herein. The combined financial information presents the pro forma effects of the Business Combination and other events as described in Note 1.
Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the Transaction Accounting Adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.
The Transaction Accounting Adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Transactions are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that ArcLight believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Transaction Accounting Adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the Transaction Accounting Adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. New OPAL believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Transactions based on information available to management at this time and that the Transaction Accounting Adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Transactions. ArcLight has not had any historical relationship with Opco prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no Transaction Accounting Adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

Note 3 — Accounting for the Transactions
Business Combination
The Business Combination is a common control transaction accounted for similar to a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. OPAL HoldCo held a controlling financial interest in Opco prior to the closing date. At transaction close, OPAL HoldCo obtained a controlling financial interest in New OPAL and indirectly retained control over Opco through New OPAL. OPAL HoldCo did not relinquish control over Opco during the transaction, instead it affected a transfer of a controlled subsidiary (i.e., Opco) to a newly-controlled subsidiary (i.e., New OPAL) in exchange for issuing Class A common units of Opco for the net assets of New OPAL. As there was no change in control, Opco has been determined to be the accounting acquirer. Under this method of accounting, ArcLight is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the transaction is treated as the equivalent of Opco issuing stock for the net assets of ArcLight, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ArcLight are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Earnout
Sponsor Earnout Awards
Sponsor Earnout Awards will be classified as a liability as their settlement terms contain certain variables that preclude them from being considered indexed to New OPAL’s common stock under the “fixed-for-fixed” requirement in ASC 815-40. The estimated fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Awards liability is approximately $5.9 million.
The fair value of Sponsor Earnout Awards was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model with a distribution of potential outcomes on a daily basis over the 5-year post-close period, and incorporating the most reliable information available as of the June 30, 2022 valuation date. Assumptions used in the valuation are as follows:
| ● | Current stock price — The ArcLight closing stock price of $9.95 as of June 30, 2022; |
| ● | Expected volatility — The volatility rate was determined based on historical and implied volatilities of selected industry peers deemed to be comparable to our business corresponding to the expected term of the awards; |
| ● | Risk-free interest rate — The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of issuance for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities corresponding to the expected five-year term of the earnout period; |
| ● | Expected term — The expected term is the 5 years following the closing; and |
| ● | Expected dividend yield — The expected dividend yield is zero, as we do not anticipate distributing dividends on the common stock in the expected term. |
The fair value of Sponsor Earnout Awards has been recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. See Note 6(k). Topic 815 provides guidance that changes in the fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Awards liability in future periods will be recognized in the statement of operations.
OPAL Earnout Awards
OPAL Earnout Awards will be classified as a liability under Topic 480 because they are considered indexed to an obligation to repurchase shares by delivering cash or other assets as a result of certain settlement provisions. OPAL Earnout Awards are a possible exception to this accounting treatment as Ares elected to receive New Opal Class A common stock in lieu of pre-Closing Opco common units. The accounting conclusion regarding the classification of the OPAL Earnout Awards is still under evaluation, and for purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma information these awards are presented as liability classified on a preliminary basis. The estimated fair value of the OPAL Earnout Awards liability is approximately $46.0 million.
The fair value of OPAL Earnout Awards was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model with a distribution of potential outcomes for stock price and EBITDA over the 2-year period commencing on January 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2024, and incorporating the most reliable information available as of the June 30, 2022 valuation date. Assumptions used in the valuation are as follows:
| ● | Current stock price — The ArcLight closing stock price of $9.95 as of June 30, 2022; |
| ● | Weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) — The WACC reflected a derived cost of capital informed by research on cost of capital of a selection of comparable public companies; |
| ● | Expected volatility — The volatility rate was determined by using an average of historical volatilities of selected industry peers deemed to be comparable to our business corresponding to the expected term of the awards; |
| ● | Risk-free interest rate — The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of issuance for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities corresponding to the expected five-year term of the earnout period; |
| ● | Expected term — The expected term is the 2 years earnout period; |
| ● | Expected dividend yield — The expected dividend yield is zero, as we do not anticipate distributing dividends on the common stock in the expected term; and |
| ● | EBITDA forecast internally derived by Opco for the earnout period. |
The fair value of the OPAL Earnout Awards has been recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. See Note 6(k). Topic 480 provides guidance that changes in the fair value of the OPAL Earnout Awards liability in future periods will be recognized in the statement of operations.
Forward Purchase Agreement
The put option written to Meteora on 2,000,000 Class A common stock under the Forward Purchase Agreement is presented as a liability based on the company’s preliminary accounting analysis under ASC 480. The estimated fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement liability is approximately $5.0 million.
The fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement liability was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model with a distribution of potential outcomes on a daily basis over the 6-month post-close period, and incorporating the most reliable information available as of the June 30, 2022 valuation date Assumptions used in the valuation are as follows:
| ● | Current stock price — The ArcLight closing stock price of $9.95 as of June 30, 2022; |
| ● | Expected volatility — The volatility rate was determined based on historical and implied volatilities of selected industry peers deemed to be comparable to our business corresponding to the expected term of the option; |
| ● | Risk-free interest rate — The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of issuance for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities corresponding to the expected five-year term of the earnout period; |
| ● | Expected term — The expected term is the 6 months following the closing; and |
| ● | Expected dividend yield — The expected dividend yield is zero, as we do not anticipate distributing dividends on the common stock in the expected term. |
The fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement liability has been recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. See Note 6(l). Topic 480 provides guidance that changes in the fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement liability in future periods will be recognized in the statement of operations.
Beacon Transaction
The acquisition of Beacon has been treated as a business combination and has been accounted for using the acquisition method. OPAL has recorded the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired from Beacon at the acquisition date.
Note 4 — Reclassifications Made to ArcLight Financial Statement Presentation
Certain reclassification adjustments have been made to conform ArcLight’s financial statement presentation to that of Opco’s.
The following reclassification adjustments were made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022:

| (b) | Reflects the reclassification of $546 thousand from ArcLight’s Prepaid expenses to Prepaid expenses and other current assets. |
| (c) | Reflects the reclassification of $30 thousand from ArcLight’s Accrued expenses and $6,192 thousand from ArcLight’s Deferred legal fees to Accrued expenses and other current liabilities. |

Note 6 — Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Transactions and has been prepared for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 includes Transaction Accounting Adjustments that are directly attributable to the Business Combination, and other related events described in Note 1 above.
The pro forma transaction accounting adjustments are as follows:
| (a) | Reflects the reclassification of cash held in ArcLight’s Trust Account to cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 to reflect the cash available to effectuate the Transactions or to fund redemption of existing Public Shareholders. Note that on the Closing date, the actual balance of cash in the Trust Account including accumulated interest earned during the period prior to redemption is approximately $311.8 million. |
| (b) | Reflects the proceeds of approximately $110.8 million from the issuance and sale of 11,080,600 shares of New OPAL common stock at $10.00 per share pursuant to the Amended Subscription Agreements entered into with the PIPE Investors in connection with the PIPE Investment and subsequent PIPE Extension. |
| (c) | Reflects the reclassification of the carrying value of Opco’s Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Units to Redeemable preferred noncontrolling interest. |
| (d) | Reflects the conversion of fifty percent (50%) of the principal and accrued interest outstanding pursuant to the Ares Note into New OPAL Class A common stock. |
| (e) | Reflects recording of estimated additional transaction costs to be incurred of $1,616 thousand in additional paid in capital. The amount represents the estimated incremental advisory, legal, accounting and auditing fees and other professional fees as of June 30, 2022, that are deemed to be direct and incremental costs of the Business Combination and related transactions. The transaction costs excluded $24.9 million in aggregate fees due to ArcLight’s and Opco’s financial advisors for the transaction, including deferred underwriting commissions from ArcLight’s initial public offering. The advisors withdrew from the transaction and waived their fees in whole. |
The $1,400 thousand and $6,243 thousand decreases to accrued expenses and other current liabilities represent the adjustment to account for payments of accrued transaction cost liabilities in both Opco’s and ArcLigh’s historical balance sheets with an offsetting decrease to cash. The $6,443 deferred transaction costs incurred by Opco are adjusted against additional paid-in capital. Additionally, a $4,200 thousand adjustment was made to accrue for estimated fees related to directors’ and officers’ insurance tail policy (which is required as part of the business combination agreement), with offsetting decreases to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) and redeemable noncontrolling interests based on ownership percentage interests.
| (f) | Reflects the reclassification, prior to ArcLight Class A ordinary shareholders exercise their redemption rights, of Class A ordinary shares of $311,516 thousand to permanent equity. The Transaction Accounting Adjustment also includes conversion of outstanding ArcLight Class A and Class B ordinary shares into New OPAL Class A common stock concurrent with the consummation of the Business Combination. |
| (g) | Reflects the recapitalization of prior ArcLight shares with 38,895,381 shares of New OPAL Class A common stock and the elimination of the accumulated deficit of ArcLight. As a result of the recapitalization, ArcLight’s historical accumulated deficit balance of $21,651 thousand on June 30, 2022 was derecognized and reclassified into additional paid in capital. The shares of New OPAL’s Class D common stock issued in exchange for Opco’s capital were recorded at par value in the amount of $15 thousand. |
| (h) | Following the completion of the Transactions, New OPAL, as the registrant, does not own 100% of the economic interests in Opco due to the existing equityholders of Opco owning an approximately 85.4% economic interest in Opco. This percentage excludes the 913,907 forfeitable ArcLight Sponsor shares which are recognized as a liability at fair value as detailed above. The calculation of redeemable noncontrolling interest is based on the net assets of Opco and the ownership percentage held by existing equityholders of Opco in Opco following the completion of the Transactions. Shares pursuant to the earnout arrangements have been excluded from the calculation of the redeemable noncontrolling interest until such time they become vested. Accordingly, redeemable noncontrolling interest increased to $136,553 thousand with a corresponding decrease to additional paid-in capital. In addition, as a result of the recapitalization, the carrying value of Opco’s historical members’ equity of $47,681 thousand and retained earnings of $8,955 thousand were reclassified into redeemable noncontrolling interest. |
| (i) | Reflects the redemption of 27,364,124 Class A ordinary shares for approximately $274.2 million allocated to ArcLight common stock and additional paid in capital, using a par value of $0.0001 per share at a redemption price of approximately $10.02 per share. |
| (j) | In connection with the Business Combination, New OPAL entered into the tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with OPAL Holdco and Hillman such persons, together with such other persons from time to time that become party thereto, collectively, the “TRA Participants”). Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, New OPAL will be required to pay the TRA Participants 85% of the amount of savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that New OPAL actually realizes (computed using certain simplifying assumptions) as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits related to any exchanges of OPAL Common Units (together with voting shares of New OPAL) for shares of New OPAL Class A common stock or Class C common stock. |
Due to the uncertainty as to the amount and timing of future exchanges of OPAL Common Units by the TRA Participants and as to the price of New OPAL Class A common stock at the time of any such exchanges, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that no existing equityholders of Opco have exchanged OPAL Common Units in a transaction that would create an obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Therefore, no increases in tax basis in New OPAL’s assets or other tax benefits that may be realized under the Tax Receivable Agreement have been reflected in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information. Future exchanges will result in incremental tax attributes and potential cash tax savings for New OPAL. Depending on New OPAL’s assessment on realizability of such tax attributes, the arising Tax Receivable Agreement liability will be recorded at the exchange date against equity, or at a later point through income. If the TRA Participants were to exchange all of their OPAL Common Units, New OPAL would recognize a deferred tax asset of approximately $509.0 million and a related liability for payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement of approximately $433.0 million, assuming (i) that the TRA Participants redeemed or exchanged all of their OPAL Common Units on the closing date; (ii) a price of $10.00 per share; (iii) a constant combined effective income tax rate of 26.47%; (iv) New OPAL will have sufficient taxable income in each year to realize the tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement; and (v) no material changes in tax law. These amounts are estimates and have been prepared for informational purposes only. The actual amount of deferred tax assets and related liabilities that we will recognize will differ based on, among other things, the timing of the exchanges, the price of the shares of Class A common stock at the time of the exchange, and the tax rates then in effect.
It is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in accordance with ASC Topic 740, ‘Income Taxes’ (“ASC 740”). As such, ArcLight has reduced the full carrying amount of the deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance under both scenarios. Management will continue to monitor and consider the available evidence from quarter to quarter, and year to year, to determine if more or less valuation allowance is required at that time.
| (k) | Reflects the fair value of $5,900 and $46,000 thousand of the Sponsor Earnout Awards and the OPAL Earnout Awards, respectively. Refer to Note 3 for more information. |
| (l) | Reflects the $5,000 thousand fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement liability and associated fees of $625 thousand. The accounting treatment of these costs is still under evaluation, and for purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma information these costs are presented as an adjustment to the equity issuance proceeds from the business combination. |
| (m) | Reflects the $2,084 thousand fair value of private placement warrants transferred by Sponsor to Encompass. The accounting treatment of these costs is still under evaluation, and for purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma information these costs are presented as an offsetting contribution and adjustment to issuance proceeds from the business combination. |
Note 7 — Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows:
| (a) | As it is more likely than not that the ArcLight deferred tax assets will not be realized in accordance with ASC 740, no income tax benefit is recognized. |
| (b) | Represents the adjustment for the Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable preferred noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest. The Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest is based on a 85.4% percentage interest in Opco. The adjustment to the net income (loss) redeemable preferred noncontrolling interest represents the accrued dividends that would be settled in cash in connection with item 6(d) above. |
| (c) | Represents the elimination of interest earned on marketable securities held in ArcLight’s Trust Account. |
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 are as follows:
| (d) | Reflects adjustments to eliminate the income (loss) from the equity method investments in connection with Beacon prior to the acquisition, and to reflect the reduced depreciation expense pertaining to the acquired property, plant and equipment that was measured at the acquisition date fair value. |
| | |
| (e) | As it is more likely than not that the ArcLight deferred tax assets will not be realized in accordance with ASC 740, no income tax benefit is recognized. |
| (f) | Represents the adjustment for the Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable preferred noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest. The Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest is based on a 85.4% common ownership interest in Opco. The adjustment to the net income (loss) redeemable preferred noncontrolling interest represents the accrued dividends that would be settled in cash in connection with item 6(d) above. |
| (g) | Represents the elimination of interest earned on marketable securities held in ArcLight’s Trust Account. |
| (h) | Reflects a $4,200 thousand adjustment for estimated costs attributable to a directors’ and officers’ insurance tail policy which will be contingently incurred upon closing of the transaction. |
Note 8 — Net Income (Loss) per Share
Represents the net income (loss) per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, the PIPE Investment, and other related events, assuming such additional shares were outstanding since January 1, 2021. As the Business Combination and PIPE Investment are being reflected as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2021, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share assumes the shares issued in connection with the Business Combination and PIPE Investment have been outstanding for the entire periods presented.
New OPAL has 6,223,261 public warrants and 9,223,261 private placement warrants. The warrants are exercisable at their $11.50 strike price which exceeds the current market price for New OPAL Class A common stock. The warrants are considered anti-dilutive and were excluded from the diluted earnings per share for the period presented below. In addition, the shares pursuant to the earnout arrangements as discussed in Note 1 were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation since such shares are contingently issuable or forfeitable, and the contingencies have not been resolved. Diluted earnings per share also does not reflect the conversion of Opco’s Class B units into New OPAL Class A common stock as the result would be anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is the same for the periods presented.
