Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on July 21, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), OPAL Fuels Inc. (the “Company”) consummated the previously announced transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among ArcLight Clean Transition Corp. II (“ArcLight”), OPAL HoldCo LLC (“OPAL HoldCo”) and OPAL Fuels LLC (“OPAL Fuels”).

As contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, on July 21, 2022, ArcLight changed its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as a Cayman Islands exempted company and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Domestication"). Following the Domestication, on July 21, 2022, Arclight changed its name to "OPAL Fuels Inc." and each outstanding ArcLight Class B ordinary share converted into one ArcLight Class A ordinary share, each outstanding ArcLight Class A ordinary share became one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), and each outstanding warrant to purchase one ArcLight Class A ordinary share became a warrant to purchase one share of the Company's Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Following the consummation of the Business Combination on July 21, 2022, the Company was organized in an “Up-C” structure. The Company is the managing member of OPAL Fuels. OPAL Fuels directly or indirectly holds substantially all of the consolidated assets and business of the Company.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization (the “Reverse Recapitalization”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under this method of accounting, ArcLight was treated as the “acquired” company and OPAL Fuels was treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. The Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of OPAL Fuels issuing stock for the net assets of ArcLight, accompanied by a recapitalization.

The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to recast the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, as previously included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 18, 2022 (the “S-4”) to reflect the effects of the Reverse Recapitalization.
