Allego N.V.
for
Ordinary Shares
of
Allego N.V.
and
Consent Solicitation
THE OFFER PERIOD (AS DEFINED BELOW) AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT MIDNIGHT (END OF DAY), EASTERN TIME, ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2023, OR SUCH LATER TIME AND DATE TO WHICH WE MAY EXTEND.
Terms of the Offer and Consent Solicitation
Until the Expiration Date (as defined below), we are offering to the holders of our outstanding warrants (the “Warrants”), each to purchase ordinary shares, each with a nominal value of € 0.12 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Allego N.V. (the “Company”), the opportunity to receive 0.23 Ordinary Shares in exchange for each of our outstanding Warrants tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”).
The Offer is being made to all holders of our Warrants. The Warrants are governed by the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2021, by and between Spartan Acquisition Corp. III (“Spartan”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), as assumed by the Company pursuant to the Warrant Assumption Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2022, by and among the Company, Spartan and the Warrant Agent (the “Warrant Agreement”). Our Ordinary Shares and Warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “ALLG” and “ALLG.WS,” respectively. As of August 21, 2023, a total of 13,799,948 Warrants were outstanding. Pursuant to the Offer, we are offering up to an aggregate of 3,173,989 Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Warrants, subject to adjustment for fractional Warrants as described below in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.
Each Warrant holder whose Warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer will receive 0.23 Ordinary Shares for each Warrant tendered by such holder and exchanged. No fractional Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In lieu of issuing fractional Ordinary Shares, any holder of Warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer will, after aggregating all such fractional Ordinary Shares of such holder, receive one additional whole Ordinary Share in lieu of such fractional Ordinary Shares. Our obligation to complete the Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of a minimum number of tendered Warrants.
Concurrently with the Offer, we are also soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the Warrants to amend the Warrant Agreement, which governs the Warrants, to permit the Company to require that each Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be converted into 0.207 Ordinary Shares, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer (the “Warrant Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, all except certain specified modifications or amendments require the vote or written consent of holders of at least 50% of the number of the then outstanding Warrants.
Parties representing approximately 30.4% of the outstanding Warrants have agreed to tender their Warrants in the Offer and to consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation pursuant to a tender and support agreement (the “Tender and Support Agreement”). Accordingly, if holders of an additional approximately 19.6% of the outstanding Warrants consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation, and the other conditions described herein are satisfied or waived, then the Warrant Amendment will be adopted with respect to the Warrants. For additional details regarding the Tender and Support Agreement, see “Market Information, Dividends and Related Shareholder Matters—Transactions and Agreements Concerning Our Securities—Tender and Support Agreement.”
You may not consent to the Warrant Amendment without tendering your Warrants in the Offer and you may not tender such Warrants without consenting to the Warrant Amendment. You may revoke your consent at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) by withdrawing the Warrants you have tendered in the Offer, and a withdrawal of tendered Warrants will revoke your consent to the Warrant Amendment given with respect to such withdrawn tendered Warrants.
The Offer and Consent Solicitation is made solely upon the terms and conditions in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. The Offer and Consent Solicitation will be open until Midnight (end of day), Eastern Time, on September 22, 2023, or such later time and date to which we may extend (the period during which the Offer and Consent Solicitation is open, giving effect to any withdrawal or extension, is referred to as the “Offer Period,” and the date and time at which the Offer Period ends is
