OPAL Fuels Announces Business Combination with ArcLight Clean Transition Corp. II

Winston & Strawn LLP represented Citigroup Global Markets Inc., in connection with its role as buy-side advisor to ArcLight Clean Transition Corp. II (Nasdaq: ACTD), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, in connection with a business combination with OPAL Fuels LLC, a leading vertically integrated producer and distributor of renewable natural gas (RNG) with a diversified revenue and customer base in 42 states. The combination, with an enterprise value of US$1.75B, will result in OPAL Fuels becoming a publicly listed company named "OPAL Fuels Inc." It will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the new ticker symbol "OPL." The transaction includes a US$125M fully committed common stock PIPE at US$10.00 per share, anchored by NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE), Electron Capital Partners, Gunvor Group, Wellington Management, and Adage Capital Management, with participation by ArcLight affiliates. Additionally, affiliates of NextEra Energy have made a commitment for up to a US$100M preferred equity investment in OPAL Fuels and have entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the majority of OPAL Fuels environmental attributes.

What Is the Copyright Royalty Board?

The U.S. Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) is a three-judge panel that functions as an independent unit within the Library of Congress. It performs the duties specified in the Copyright Royalty and Distribution Reform Act. The Act established statutory licenses that let approved parties utilize certain types of copyrighted works by paying a set royalty, without having to request an individual copyright license from each rights-holder. The CRB sets, and periodically adjusts, the rates and terms of the statutory licenses, and can also make determinations on the distribution of statutory license royalties collected by the U.S. Copyright Office. For example, the judges can determine, for a five-year period, the rates musical performers receive when their works are played via digital services. When licensors and licensees cannot reach rate agreements on their own, the CRB hears testimony from the various parties and then sets the rates. CRB Judges serve six-year terms. The first CRB judges were appointed by the Librarian of Congress in 2006....Read more
