Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ClimateRock and GreenRock Corp., together with ClimateRock Holdings Limited and the two merger subsidiaries, amended their agreement for the proposed business combination on October 19, 2026. The amendment removes the contemplated acquisition of TEP Renewables Limited as a closing condition and removes the earnout escrow. It also extends the agreement’s Outside Date from May 2, 2025, to March 31, 2027.

Holdings’ Form F-4 registration statement/proxy statement relates to ordinary shares to be issued in the proposed combination; the definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be delivered to ClimateRock shareholders if and when available. The parties identify risks including failure to complete the transaction, obtain shareholder and regulatory approvals, meet Nasdaq listing standards, or implement GreenRock’s business plan. They also identify potential disruption to GreenRock’s plans and operations, effects on business relationships and performance during the transaction process, and transaction costs as risks. GreenRock may need additional capital, and neither GreenRock nor ClimateRock assures its expectations will be achieved.

Outside Date technical

"extends the agreement’s Outside Date"

An outside date is the final contractual deadline by which a planned deal—such as a merger, acquisition, or financing—must be completed; if the transaction hasn’t closed by that date, parties typically gain the right to walk away or trigger agreed remedies. It matters to investors because it sets a clear timetable for when uncertainty should end, and approaching or missing the outside date can raise the chance of deal failure, renegotiation, or changes to valuation.

earnout escrow financial

"remove the earnout escrow"

closing condition technical

"as a closing condition"

A closing condition is a specific requirement that must be satisfied before a planned deal, such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale, can be finalized. Think of it as the final checklist item—examples include regulatory approval, secured funding, or completion of inspections—and it matters to investors because unmet conditions can delay, change, or cancel a transaction, affecting share value and expected returns.

On October 19, 2026, ClimateRock, GreenRock, Holdings, SPAC Merger Sub, and Company Merger Sub amended the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment to the Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Merger Agreement was amended to, among other things (i) remove the contemplated acquisition of TEP Renewables Limited as a closing condition, (ii) remove the earnout escrow, and (iii) extend the Outside Date under the Merger Agreement from May 2, 2025, to March 31, 2027.

The foregoing description of the Amendment to the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Important Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It

In connection with the Merger Agreement and the proposed Business Combination, Holdings filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement/proxy statement on Form F-4 that also constitutes a prospectus of Holdings with respect to the ordinary shares of Holdings (“Holdings Ordinary Shares”) to be issued in the proposed Business Combination (as amended, the “proxy statement/prospectus”). The definitive proxy statement/prospectus (if and when available) will be delivered to ClimateRock’s shareholders. ClimateRock may also file other relevant documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF CLIMATEROCK ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT ARE FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION, INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO THESE DOCUMENTS, CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION.

Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus (if and when available) and other documents that are filed or will be filed with the SEC by ClimateRock and/or Holdings through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. Copies of the documents filed with the SEC by ClimateRock will be available free of charge from ClimateRock’s website at https://www.climate-rock.com/or by contacting its Chief Executive Officer, Per Regnarsson, c/o ClimateRock, 25 Bedford Square, WC1B 3HH, London, United Kingdom, at +44 730 847 5096 or at info@climate-rock.com.

Participants in the Solicitation

ClimateRock, Holdings and GreenRock and their respective directors and officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from ClimateRock’s shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Information about ClimateRock’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of ClimateRock’s securities is set forth in ClimateRock’s filings with the SEC, including ClimateRock’s final prospectus in connection with its initial public offering, which was filed with the SEC on April 29, 2022 and the proxy statement/prospectus. To the extent that such persons’ holdings of ClimateRock’s securities have changed since the amounts disclosed in ClimateRock’s final prospectus in connection with its initial public offering or the proxy statement/prospectus, such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the names and interests in the Business Combination of ClimateRock’s and GreenRock’s respective directors and officers and other persons who may be deemed participants in the Business Combination may be obtained by reading the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus regarding the Business Combination and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus regarding the Business Combination when it becomes available. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of ClimateRock’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, the registration statement on Form F-4 and preliminary proxy statement/prospectus that has been filed by Holdings, and other documents filed by ClimateRock and Holdings from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. 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 GreenRock and ClimateRock 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. Neither GreenRock nor ClimateRock gives any assurance that either GreenRock or ClimateRock will achieve its expectations.
