FM3 Credit Agreement
Also, on December 19, 2022, Fortistar Methane 3 LLC

which is the borrower under that $150 million Second Amended and

of FM3, and Opal Fuels LLC (“Opal

a direct subsidiary of the Company, and the other parties to the
FM3 Credit Agreement entered into that Omnibus and Consent

consummation of the FM3 Amendment, Opal Fuels holds approximately

Agreement are qualified in entirety by reference to the UPS

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including
statements regarding the expected acceptance by the Company of all
validly tendered warrants for exchange, the closing of the Offer
and Consent Solicitation, and the consummation of the Post-Offer
Exchange. These forward-looking statements generally are identified
by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,”
“may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will
likely result,” and similar expressions, but the absence of these
words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections, and other
statements about future events that are based on current
expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks
and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this
Current Report on Form 8-K, including, but not limited to those
described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the
Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed November 18,
2022, as such factors may be updated from time to time in the
Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on
the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our
management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of
all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements
we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed
in this Current Report on Form 8-K may not occur and actual results
could differ materially and adversely from those
anticipated.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.
Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, and we assume no obligation and do not intend to update
or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise. We do not give any
assurance that we will achieve our expectations.
