NETD proxy amended to route future trust interest to operations

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Nabors Energy Transition Corp. II filed an amended definitive proxy to revise Proposal No. 2. The company no longer seeks authority to withdraw up to $0.50 per Public Share from the trust. Instead, the revised IMTA Amendment would allow depositing future interest earned on Trust Account funds into the operating account from and after the amendment’s effective date, and reflect the Indefinite Extension.

The board does not intend to pursue an initial business combination at this time and aims to keep the company in existence to receive payments under a Settlement Agreement and Notes, with pro rata distributions of net proceeds at the board’s discretion. Holders of Public Shares who remain after redemptions will not have another redemption opportunity and are expected to receive their pro rata portion upon wind‑up. As of this proxy, the company reports approximately $10.0 million of incurred fees and expenses, approximately $4.1 million in Overfunding Loans and Monthly Extension Payments, and $2.0 million in working capital loans payable to Nabors Lux. Following redemptions, the company expects to be delisted from Nasdaq.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends the definitive proxy statement furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of Nabors Energy Transition Corp. II (the “Company”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 27, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”). The Proxy Statement was filed in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held on November 14, 2025, including any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Shareholder Meeting”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

Proposal No. 2 in the Proxy Statement sought shareholder approval of an amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2025 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, to permit the Company to withdraw from the interest earned on the trust account (the “Trust Account”) established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (x) up to $0.50 per Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Shareholder Meeting and (y) up to 100% of the interest accrued from the date of the IMTA Amendment, in each case, in order to pay for fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company since its formation, and to reflect the Indefinite Extension.

The Company is amending and restating Proposal No. 2 to seek shareholder approval of a revised amendment and restatement of the Trust Agreement (the “Revised IMTA Amendment”) to permit the Company to deposit future interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account into the Company’s operating account. The Revised IMTA Amendment eliminates the provision that would have allowed the Company to withdraw up to $0.50 per Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Shareholder Meeting. This Amendment revises certain other information in the Proxy Statement relating to the revisions to Proposal No. 2, and the Company is filing an amended proxy card, an amended Articles Amendment attached as Annex A to the Proxy Statement and an amended IMTA Amendment attached as Annex B to the Proxy Statement.

This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. The information contained in this Amendment modifies or supersedes any inconsistent information contained in the Proxy Statement. Other than this Amendment, no other information in the Proxy Statement has been revised, supplemented, updated or amended.

If you have already returned your proxy card or provided voting instructions, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote. If you wish to change your vote, you can revoke your proxy or change your vote by following the instructions of the question and answer titled “May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?” on page 12 of the Proxy Statement.

AMENDMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT

The following disclosure amends and restates Proposal No. 2 in (i) the sixth paragraph on the first page of the Letter to Shareholders, (ii) the fifth paragraph on the first page of the Notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, (iii) the question and answer titled “What are the specific proposals on which I am being asked to vote at the Shareholder Meeting?” on page 7 of the Proxy Statement and (iv) the ninth paragraph on page 20 the Proxy Statement as follows:

2.   Proposal No. 2 — IMTA Amendment Proposal — To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve an amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2025 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, to permit the Company (i) to deposit future interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) into the Company’s operating account from and after the date of the proposed IMTA Amendment (as defined below) and (ii) to reflect the Indefinite Extension (such proposal, the “IMTA Amendment Proposal”).

The following disclosure amends and restates the disclosure in the last paragraph on the third page, and the first full paragraph on the fourth page, of each of the Letter to Shareholders and the Notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders as follows:

The Second A&R Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that the Company had until July 18, 2025, to consummate an initial business combination, subject to twelve one-month extensions to extend such date to July 18, 2026 (or within 36 months from the consummation of the IPO), provided that the Sponsor (or its affiliates or designees) deposits additional funds of $250,000 for each one-month extension (each such extension, a “Monthly Extension Period”) into the Trust Account in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note (each such payment, a “Monthly Extension Payment”). The Board has previously elected to effectuate four one-month extensions to extend the date it has to complete its initial business combination (the “Termination Date”) from July 18, 2025 to November 18, 2025, and a total of $1.0 million has been deposited into the Trust Account, each in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note. The Sponsor has informed the Board that it does not intend to fund, nor does it intend to cause any of its affiliates or designees to fund, any further Monthly Extension Payments. The Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to provide for the continued existence of the Company even without the Monthly Extension Payments, and the Board currently anticipates maintaining the Company’s existence until all payments are made under the Settlement Agreement and the Notes. The purpose of the Articles Amendment Proposal is to allow the Company to remain in existence indefinitely to receive the payments under the Settlement Agreement and Notes and to remove the obligations under the Second A&R Memorandum and Articles of Association for the Sponsor (or its affiliates or designees) to make the Monthly Extension Payments. The purpose of the IMTA Amendment Proposal is to allow the Company to deposit future interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account into the Company’s operating account from and after the date of the proposed IMTA Amendment. Any funds held outside of the Trust Account may be used at the discretion of the Board, including to pay fees and expenses or repay loans, or may be distributed pro rata to the Company’s shareholders. You are not being asked to vote on any initial business combination at this time.

The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to have the Company’s shareholders approve the Articles Amendment Proposal and the IMTA Amendment Proposal to allow the Company to remain in existence indefinitely to receive payments under the Settlement Agreement and Notes and to permit the Company to deposit future interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account into the Company’s operating account from and after the date of the IMTA Amendment.

The following disclosure amends and restates the disclosure in the last paragraph on the fourth page of each of the Letter to Shareholders and the Notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders as follows:

If the Proposals (other than the Adjournment Proposal) are approved by the requisite vote of shareholders and the Articles Amendment is made effective, holders of Public Shares remaining after the Redemptions will not have another opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for their pro rata portion of

2

​

the funds available in the Trust Account. The Company does not intend to pursue an initial business combination or the e2 Business Combination at this time. Any shareholder that does not redeem its Public Shares in connection herewith is expected to receive (i) a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account at the time the Company winds up and (ii) a pro rata portion (allocated among the Public Shares not redeemed and the Class F Ordinary Shares) of (x) any payments under the Settlement Agreement and the Notes and (y) any funds held by the Company outside of the Trust Account, in each case, net of fees and expenses paid or to be paid by or on behalf of the Company. We expect the Board will declare pro rata distributions of net proceeds of payments under the Settlement Agreement and the Notes from time to time following receipt thereof, but there can be no assurances that such payments will be received in full or at all or as to the amount of fees and expenses of the Company, and any such distribution will be at the discretion of the Board. Future interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account from and after the date of the IMTA Amendment is expected to be deposited into the Company’s operating account. Any funds held outside of the Trust Account may be used at the discretion of the Board, including to pay fees and expenses or repay loans, or may be distributed pro rata to the Company’s shareholders. The remainder of the funds in the Trust Account will be held until the time the Company liquidates and dissolves as and when determined by the Board, at which time the remaining funds in the Trust Account will be used to redeem the holders of Public Shares remaining after the Redemption in connection with the Shareholder Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company has (i) approximately $10.0 million of incurred fees and expenses and (ii) approximately $4.1 million in loans from the direct and indirect owners of the Sponsor and Monthly Extension Payments. In addition, the Company has $2.0 million in working capital loans outstanding payable to Nabors Lux, the proceeds of which are expected to be used to pay a portion of the $10.0 million of incurred fees and expenses. The Company expects that following the Redemptions it will not meet the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) and, accordingly, expects to be delisted from Nasdaq. The Company will remain in existence indefinitely or until such time as the Board determines that the Company liquidate and dissolve. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” for an overview of risks relating to the settlement.

The following question and answer in the section titled “Questions and Answers About the Shareholder Meeting” is amended and restated as follows:

Q:

If the Articles Amendment Proposal and the IMTA Amendment Proposal are approved, what happens next?

​

A:

If the Articles Amendment Proposal and the IMTA Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company will file the Articles Amendment with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. Holders of Public Shares remaining after the Redemptions will not have another opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account. The Company does not intend to pursue an initial business combination or the e2 Business Combination at this time. Any shareholder that does not redeem its Public Shares in connection herewith is expected to receive (i) a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account at the time the Company winds up, and (ii) a pro rata portion (allocated among the Public Shares not redeemed and the Class F Ordinary Shares) of (x) any payments under the Settlement Agreement and the Notes and (y) funds held by the Company outside of the Trust Account, in each case, net of fees and expenses paid or to be paid by or on behalf of the Company. We expect the Board will declare pro rata distributions of net proceeds of payments under the Settlement Agreement and the Notes from time to time following receipt thereof, but there can be no assurances that such payments will be received in full or at all or as to the amount of fees and expenses of the Company, and any such distribution will be at the discretion of the Board. Future interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account from and after the date of the IMTA Amendment is expected to be deposited into the Company’s operating account. Any fund held outside of the Trust Account may be used at the discretion of the Board, including to pay fees and expenses or repay loans, or may be distributed pro rata to the Company’s shareholders. The remainder of the funds in the Trust Account will be held until the time the Company liquidates and dissolves as and when determined by the Board, at which time the remaining funds in the Trust Account will be used to redeem the holders of Public Shares remaining after the Redemption in connection with the Shareholder Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company has (i) approximately $10.0 million of incurred fees and expenses and (ii) approximately $4.1 million in Overfunding Loans and Monthly

​

​

Extension Payments. In addition, the Company has $2.0 million in working capital loans outstanding payable to Nabors Lux and such loans are being used to pay a portion of the $10.0 million incurred fees and expenses. The Company expects that following the Redemptions it will not meet the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) and, accordingly, expects to be delisted from Nasdaq. The Company will remain in existence indefinitely or until such time as the Board determines that the Company liquidate and dissolve.

The following disclosure amends and restates the disclosure in the fourth full paragraph on page 27 of the Proxy Statement as follows:

Reasons for the Articles Amendment Proposal

The Company and its officers and directors agreed that they would not seek to amend the Second A&R Memorandum and Articles of Association unless the Company provided holders of its Public Shares with the right to seek Redemption of their Public Shares in connection therewith. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to have the Company’s shareholders approve the Articles Amendment Proposal to allow the Company to remain in existence indefinitely to receive payments under the Settlement Agreement and Notes and to allow the Company to deposit future interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account into the Company’s operating account from and after the date of the proposed IMTA Amendment.

The following disclosure amends and restates the disclosure in the first full paragraph on page 28 of the Proxy Statement as follows:

If the Articles Amendment Proposal is Approved

If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, the Company will file the Articles Amendment with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. Holders of Public Shares remaining after the Redemptions will not have another opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account. The Company does not intend to pursue an initial business combination or the e2 Business Combination at this time. Any shareholder that does not redeem its Public Shares in connection herewith is expected to receive (i) a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account at the time the Company winds up, and (ii) a pro rata portion (allocated among the Public Shares not redeemed and the Class F Ordinary Shares) of (x) any payments under the Settlement Agreement and the Notes and (y) any funds held by the Company outside of the Trust Account, in each case, net of fees and expenses paid or to be paid by or on behalf of the Company. Future interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account from and after the date of the IMTA Amendment is expected to be deposited into the Company’s operating account. Any funds held outside of the Trust Account may be used at the discretion of the Board, including to pay fees and expenses or repay loans, or may be distributed pro rata to the Company’s shareholders. The remainder of the funds will be held until the time the Company liquidates and dissolves as and when determined by the Board, at which time the remaining funds in the Trust Account will be used to redeem the holders of Public Shares remaining after the Redemption in connection with the Shareholder Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company has (i) approximately $10.0 million of incurred fees and expenses and (ii) approximately $4.1 million in Overfunding Loans and Monthly Extension Payments. In addition, the Company has $2.0 million in working capital loans outstanding payable to Nabors Lux and such loans are being used to pay a portion of the $10.0 million incurred fees and expenses. The Company expects that following the Redemptions it will not meet the listing standards of Nasdaq and, accordingly, expects to be delisted from Nasdaq. The Company will remain in existence indefinitely or until such time as the Board determines that the Company liquidate and dissolve.

The following disclosure amends and restates the disclosure in the seventh full paragraph on page 29 of the Proxy Statement as follows:

•

the fact that future interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and payments received under the Settlement Agreement and the Notes may be used to pay the Company’s fees and expenses, including reimbursement of any loans extended, fees due or out-of-pocket expenses by the Sponsor

​

​

and its affiliates and the Company’s officers and directors, if the Proposals are approved. As of the date of this proxy statement, there are no loans extended, fees due or outstanding out of pocket expenses for which the Company’s officers and directors or the Sponsor are awaiting reimbursement, except as described herein;

The following disclosure amends and restates the disclosure in the first three paragraphs on page 32 of the Proxy Statement as follows:

The Trustee shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee, signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto;

In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) hereof, the Trustee shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Property or any monies in the Trust Account.

5.   Successor Trustee.   If the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to locate a successor trustee, pending which the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with this Agreement.

Trust Account — Termination Letter

​

Dear Mr. Wolf and Ms. Gonzalez:

Pursuant to Section 1(i) of the Second Amended and Restated Investment Management Trust Agreement between Nabors Energy Transition Corp. II (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), dated as of [•], 2025 (as amended, the “Trust Agreement”), this is to advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement with         (the “Target Business”) to consummate a business combination with Target Business (the “Business Combination”) on or about        . The Company shall notify you at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the actual date of the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Consummation Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement.

In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence to liquidate all of the assets of the Trust Account and to transfer the proceeds into a segregated account held by you on behalf of the Beneficiaries (the “trust operating account”) to the effect that, on the Consummation Date, all of the funds held in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company shall direct on the Consummation Date. It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust operating account awaiting distribution, the Company will not earn any interest or dividends.

On the Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been consummated, or will be consummated concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the Company (the “Notification”), (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which verifies that the Business Combination has been approved by a vote of the Company’s shareholders, if a vote is held and (b) a written instruction signed by the Company with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account, including payment of the Deferred Discount from the Trust Account (the “Instruction Letter”) and (iii) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC shall deliver to you written instructions for delivery of the Deferred Discount. You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of the Notification and the Instruction Letter, in accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation Date without penalty, you will notify the Company in writing of the same and the Company shall direct you as to whether such funds should remain in the Trust Account and be distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds, net of any payments necessary for reasonable unreimbursed expenses related to liquidating the Trust Account, your obligations under the Trust Agreement shall be terminated.

In the event that the Business Combination is not consummated on the Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and we have not notified you on or before the original Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from the Company, the funds held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in Section 1(c) of the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately following the Consummation Date as set forth in such written instructions as soon thereafter as possible.
