Business Combination Agreement
On December 13, 2022, GoGreen Investments Corporation, a Cayman Island exempted company (“GoGreen”), Lifezone Metals Limited, an Isle of Man company (“Holdings”), GoGreen Sponsor 1 LP, a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as the Purchaser Representative (“Sponsor”), Aqua Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Merger Sub”), Lifezone Holdings Ltd, an Isle of Man company (the “Company”), Keith Liddell, solely in his capacity as the Company Shareholders Representative (in such capacity, the “Company Shareholders Representative”), and those shareholders of the Company party thereto (collectively, the “Company Shareholders”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent in the Business Combination Agreement, the following transactions will occur: (a) the merger of GoGreen with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger and the security holders of GoGreen (other than the security holders of GoGreen electing to redeem their GoGreen ordinary shares or exercising their dissenters’ rights) becoming security holders of Holdings (the “Merger”) in accordance with the Companies Act (As Revised), as amended, of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Companies Act”), (b) the automatic conversion and exchange of (i) each issued and outstanding GoGreen public warrant for the right to receive one Holdings public warrant and (ii) each issued and outstanding GoGreen private warrant (whether or not a whole warrant) into the right to receive one Holdings private warrant, (c) the acquisition by Holdings of all of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company from the Company Shareholders in exchange for the issuance of Holdings ordinary shares and, if applicable, the issuance of Earnout Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), pursuant to which the Company will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Share Acquisition”), and (d) the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents referred to therein (together with the Merger and Share Acquisition, the “Transactions”). 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.
