Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


Merger Agreement

RMG Acquisition Corp. III (“RMG III”), is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On May 9, 2023, RMG III entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“H2B2”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

The Domestication

Prior to the effective time of the Business Combination (as defined below) (the “Effective Time”), subject to the approval of RMG III’s shareholders, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “CICA”), and RMG III’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as may be amended from time to time (the “Charter”), RMG III will effect a deregistration under the CICA and a domestication under the DGCL, pursuant to which RMG III’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication” and RMG III, immediately after the Domestication, “Domesticated RMG III”).

In connection with the Domestication, (a) each then-issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of RMG III (“RMG III Class A Share”) will convert, on a one-for-one basis, into one (1) share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of RMG III (“Domesticated RMG III Class A Stock”), (b) each then-issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of RMG III (“RMG III Class B Share”) will convert, on a one-for-one basis, into one (1) share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of RMG III (“Domesticated RMG III Class B Stock”), (c) each then-issued and outstanding public warrant of RMG III will convert into a warrant to acquire one (1) share of Domesticated RMG III Class A Stock (“Domesticated RMG III Public Warrant”), pursuant to the Warrant Agreement,  dated as of February 4, 2021, between RMG III and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), (d) each then-issued and outstanding private placement warrant of RMG III will convert into a warrant to acquire one (1) share of Domesticated RMG III Class A Stock (“Domesticated RMG III Private Warrant”), pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, and (e) each then-issued and outstanding unit of RMG III will be canceled and will entitle the holder thereof to one (1) share of Domesticated RMG III Class A Stock and one-fifth of one (1) Domesticated RMG III Public Warrant.

The Business Combination

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, following the Domestication and at the Effective Time, the following transactions will occur (together with the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”):

(i)
H2B2 will merge with and into Domesticated RMG III, with Domesticated RMG III as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”);

(ii)
each share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of H2B2 (“H2B2 Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of H2B2 Common Stock subject to H2B2 Options (as defined below), shares of H2B2 Common Stock held in the treasury of H2B2 and dissenting shares of H2B2) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Closing Date Merger Consideration (as defined below). Each holder of such issued and outstanding shares of H2B2 Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be entitled to receive a portion of the Aggregate Closing Date Merger Consideration equal to (A) the Exchange Ratio (as defined below), multiplied by (B) the number of shares of H2B2 Common Stock held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time;

(iii)
each share of Domesticated RMG III Class A Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain as an issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”);

(iv)
a number of shares of Domesticated RMG III Class B Stock equal to the number of Founder Consideration Shares (as defined below) will convert into issued and outstanding shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock and the remaining shares of Domesticated RMG III Class B Stock issued and outstanding will be canceled as part of the Business Combination without consideration;
 

(v)
each outstanding option to purchase H2B2 Common Stock (each, a “H2B2 Option”) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive an option to purchase, upon substantially the same terms and conditions, a whole number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of H2B2 Common Stock subject to such H2B2 Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (each, a “Surviving Corporation Option”), except that the exercise price per share for each such Surviving Corporation Option will be equal to the exercise price per share of such H2B2 Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest full cent); and

(vi)
upon effectiveness of the Business Combination, the Surviving Corporation will change its name to “H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies, Inc.”.

Aggregate Closing Date Merger Consideration” means a number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Closing Date Purchase Price by (b) $10.00.

AVR Option Amount” means $2,000,014.

Capital Raise Amount” means the aggregate amount of capital actually raised by H2B2, any of its subsidiaries, or any special purpose vehicle or other entity in which H2B2 holds, directly or indirectly any Equity Interest, at or prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) through any Capital Raise Transaction, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, (a) any capital actually raised by H2B2 or any of its subsidiaries utilized or to be utilized for the Ardachon Share Acquisition and (b) any cash available in the trust account of RMG III (after deducting any amounts required to satisfy redemptions by shareholders of RMG III).

Capital Raise Investor” means any person that has entered into a legal, valid and binding commitment to acquire or subscribe securities of H2B2, any of its subsidiaries, or any special purpose vehicle or other entity in which H2B2 holds, directly or indirectly any Equity Interest, in each case in any Capital Raise Transaction.

Capital Raise Transaction” means (a) any sale or other issuance of equity interests or any debt instruments exercisable for or convertible into H2B2 Common Stock or other equity interests of H2B2, any of its subsidiaries, or any special purpose vehicle or other entity in which H2B2 holds, directly or indirectly any equity interest, (including, without limitation, any shares of capital stock, securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock, or warrants, options or other rights for the purchase or acquisition of such shares, and other ownership or profit interests, whether voting or non-voting, and convertible notes or similar convertible or exercisable debt instruments), for cash occurring at any time, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions, during the period commencing on or after the date of the Merger Agreement and ending at or prior to the Closing, or (b) any Debt Raise Transaction, in each case involving BCW Securities LLC, an affiliate of RMG III, and/or Natixis Partners Iberia, S.A..

Closing Date Purchase Price” means the Base Purchase Price, which will be subject to upward or downward adjustment solely as follows:

(a)
In the event H2B2 raises capital in any Capital Raise Transaction (other than a Debt Raise Transaction) based on a pre-money valuation at or exceeding the Base Purchase Price, the Base Purchase Price will be increased on a dollar for dollar basis by an amount equal to (i) the difference between the Base Purchase Price and the actual pre-money valuation of such Capital Raise Transaction, plus (ii) the Capital Raise Amount, plus (iii) the AVR Option Amount;
 

(b)
In the event H2B2 raises capital in any Capital Raise Transaction (other than a Debt Raise Transaction) based on a pre-money valuation below the Base Purchase Price, the Base Purchase Price will be (i) decreased by an amount equal to the difference between the Base Purchase Price and the actual pre-money valuation of such Capital Raise Transaction, and increased by (ii) the Capital Raise amount, plus (iii) the AVR Option Amount, in each case on a dollar for dollar basis;

(c)
In the event H2B2 raises capital in any Debt Raise Transaction based on a Debt Transaction Pre-Money Valuation at or exceeding the Base Purchase Price, the Base Purchase Price will be increased on a dollar for dollar basis by an amount equal to (i) the difference between the Base Purchase Price and the actual Debt Transaction Pre-Money Valuation, plus (ii) the AVR Option Amount; or

(d)
In the event H2B2 raises capital in any Debt Raise Transaction based on a Debt Transaction Pre-Money Valuation below the Base Purchase Price, the Base Purchase Price will be (i) decreased by an amount equal to the difference between the Base Purchase Price and the actual Debt Transaction Pre-Money Valuation and (ii) increased by the AVR Option Amount, in each case on a dollar for dollar basis;

provided, that, solely in the event that the Capital Raise Amount exceeds $15,000,000, following any adjustment pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d), the Closing Date Purchase Price will be further increased by an additional ten percent (10%), and

provided, further, that in the event H2B2 raises capital in any Debt Raise Transaction where such Debt Raise Transaction consists exclusively of senior debt or any other form of debt for which a pre-money valuation has not been provided, then for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following execution of definitive agreements relating to such Debt Raise Transaction (the “Resolution Period”), RMG III and H2B2 shall work together in good faith to agree a Closing Date Purchase Price. If, after the Resolution Period, RMG III and H2B2 are unable to agree upon the Closing Date Purchase Price, then the provisions set forth in Section 2.4(f) of the Merger Agreement with respect to engaging an independent valuation firm shall apply.

Debt Raise Transaction” means any sale or other issuance of debt securities or instruments, or otherwise any incurrence of indebtedness for borrowed money (including any issuance of senior secured or unsecured notes or junior subordinated notes), by H2B2 or any of its subsidiaries, occurring at any time, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions, during the period commencing on or after the date of the Merger Agreement and ending at or prior to the Closing.

Debt Transaction Pre-Money Valuation” means an aggregate amount equal to the weighted average of all pre-money valuations (or any subsequent revisions thereof) submitted by Capital Raise Investors in “Phase II” of a Debt Raise Transaction (as such term is defined in the Phase I Process Letter issued in connection with such Debt Raise Transaction), as calculated pursuant to the Debt Transaction Pre-Money Valuation Schedule.

Debt Transaction Pre-Money Valuation Schedule” means a schedule delivered by H2B2 to RMG III pursuant to the Merger Agreement setting out (a) each and all of the pre-money valuations (or any subsequent revisions thereof) submitted by Capital Raise Investors in “Phase II” of a Debt Raise Transaction and (b) the Debt Transaction Pre-Money Valuation; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, if any valuation submitted by a Capital Raise Investor in “Phase II” of a Debt Raise Transaction is presented as a valuation range (and not a fixed amount), H2B2 shall first calculate a weighted median of such valuation range before calculating the Debt Transaction Pre-Money Valuation.

All of the members of the board of directors of RMG III have (a) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (b) resolved to recommend the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters by the shareholders of RMG III.

Certain Related Agreements

Registration Rights Agreement

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at Closing, RMG III, H2B2, and certain former stockholders of H2B2 set forth in Schedule I therein, will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which RMG III will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, certain shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock and other equity securities of RMG III that are held by the parties thereto from time to time (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
