EXPLANATORY NOTE

References throughout this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” the “Company” or “our company” are to Archaea Energy Inc., formerly known as Rice Acquisition Corp., unless the context otherwise indicates.

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A amends and restates the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Archaea Energy Inc., formerly known as Rice Acquisition Corp., for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 13, 2021. 

On August 13, 2021, the Company filed its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Q2 Form 10-Q”). The Company classified a portion of the redeemable shares of Class A common stock of the Company (the “Public Shares”) issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering as permanent equity to maintain net tangible assets greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company will consummate its initial business combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable stock classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. Effective with these financial statements, the Company revised this interpretation to include temporary equity in net tangible assets. As a result, management corrected the error by restating all Public Shares as temporary equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.

In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, the Company revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and losses shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. This presentation differs from the previously presented method of earnings per share, which was similar to the two-class method. The Company determined the change in classification of the Class A common stock and change to its presentation of earnings per share is quantitatively material and it should restate its previously issued financial statements.

Therefore, on December 28, 2021, the Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) audited balance sheet as of October 26, 2020 (the “Post-IPO Balance Sheet”), as previously revised in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on May 13, 2021 (“2020 Form 10-K/A No. 1”), (ii) audited financial statements included in the 2020 Form 10-K/A No. 1, (iii) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 26, 2021, and (iv) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2021 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should be restated to report all Public Shares as temporary equity and should no longer be relied upon.

As such, the Company has restated or will restate in this Amendment No. 1 its financial statements for the Affected Periods.

The above changes did not have any impact on its cash position or the cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO.

After re-evaluation, the Company’s management has concluded that in light of the errors described above, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Affected Periods and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The Company’s remediation plan with respect to such material weakness is described in more detail in Item 4 to Part 1 of this Amendment No. 1.

Items Amended in this Amendment No. 1

For the convenience of the reader, this Amendment No. 1 amends and restates the Q2 Form 10-Q in its entirety. As a result, this Amendment No. 1 includes both items that have been changed as a result of the restatement described above as well as items that are unchanged from the Q2 Form 10-Q. The following items have been amended in this Amendment No. 1 to reflect the restatement described above:

Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Part II, Item 6. Exhibits

In addition, in accordance with applicable SEC rules, this Amendment No. 1 includes new certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act from our Chief Executive Officer (as principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (as principal financial officer) dated as of the filing date of this Amendment No. 1.

Except as described above, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures in the Q2 Form 10-Q. This Amendment No. 1 does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the filing date of the Q2 Form 10-Q. As such, this Amendment No. 1 speaks only as of the date the Q2 Form 10-Q was filed, and we have not undertaken herein to amend, supplement or update any information contained in the Q2 Form 10-Q to give effect to any subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Q2 Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—NOTE 1 - Organization and Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation

Archaea Energy Inc. (“Archaea” or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation (formerly named Rice Acquisition Corp.), is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on September 1, 2020. As used herein, the “Company” or “Rice” refer to Rice Acquisition Corp. and its majority-owned and controlled operating subsidiary, Rice Acquisition Holdings LLC (“RAC OpCo”), unless the context indicates otherwise. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associatedlargest RNG producers in the U.S., with emerging growth companies.

an industry-leading RNG platform primarily focused on capturing and converting waste emissions from landfills and livestock farms into low-carbon RNG and electricity. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the three2022, Archaea owns, through wholly-owned entities or joint ventures, a diversified portfolio of 32 LFG recovery and six months ended June 30, 2021 relatesprocessing facilities across 18 states, including 13 operated facilities that produce pipeline-quality RNG and 19 LFG to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination,renewable electricity production facilities, including activities in connection with the proposed acquisitions of Aria Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,one non-operated facility and Archaea Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash, cash equivalents and investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is Rice Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 21, 2020. On October 26, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 23,725,000 units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”), including 2,225,000 additional Units1 facility that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $237.3 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12.5 million, inclusive of $7.6 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 5).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 6,771,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor and Atlas Point Energy Infrastructure Fund, LLC (“Atlas Point Fund”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.8 million (Note 4). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Rice’s Class A common stock or, in certain circumstances, one Class A Unit of RAC OpCo together with a corresponding number of shares of Rice’s non-economic Class B common stock.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the Public Stockholders (as defined below) hold a direct economic equity ownership interest in Rice in the form of shares of Class A common stock, and an indirect ownership interest in RAC OpCo through Rice’s ownership of Class A Units of RAC OpCo. By contrast, the Initial Stockholders (as defined below) own direct economic interests in RAC OpCo in the form of Class B Units and a corresponding non-economic voting equity interest in Rice in the form of shares of Class B common stock, as well as a small direct interest through the Sponsor Shares (as defined in Note 4). Sponsor Shares were purchased for $10.00 each and, in the absence of an initial Business Combination, will generally participate in liquidation or other payments on a pari passu basis with the Public Shares (as defined below). However, given the relatively de minimis number of Sponsor Shares relative to Public Shares, in many cases the economic, governance or other effects of the Sponsor Shares are not material to the holders of Class A common stock or warrants, and for simplicity, portions of this disclosure may not fully describe or reflect these immaterial effects.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, approximately $237.3 million of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act (as defined below) having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in Trust) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-business combination company controls 50% or more of the voting securities of the target or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).


RICE ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(AS RESTATED)

The Company will provide the holders of the Company’s Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. Unless otherwise stated herein, the term “Public Shares” includes the 2,500 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company held by the Sponsor and forming part of the Sponsor Shares. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If a stockholder vote is not required by lawoperational.

Archaea develops, designs, constructs, and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for businessoperates RNG facilities. Archaea, through wholly-owned entities or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4), Sponsor Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or October 26, 2022 (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to pay franchise and income taxes of the Company or RAC OpCo (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares and Class A Units of RAC OpCo (other than those held by Rice), which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor, Atlas Point Fund and the Company’s officers and directors (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed (i) that any Founder Shares and Sponsor Shares held by them will not be entitled to redemption rights, and they will waive any such redemption rights for any Public Shares held by them, in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) that any Founder Shares and Sponsor Shares held by them will not be entitled to redemption rights, and they will waive any such redemption rights for any Public Shares held by them, in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company have not consummated the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, (iii) that any Founder Shares held by them are subject to forfeiture, and thus will not be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account, and they will waive any such rights to liquidating distributions for any Founder Shares, if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares and Sponsor Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period), and (iv) in certain limited circumstances the Class B Units of RAC OpCo will have more limited rights to current or liquidating distributions from the Company.


RICE ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(AS RESTATED)

The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and subsequently liquidates and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares and Sponsor Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Companyjoint ventures, has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reducelong-term agreements with biogas site hosts which grant the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share or Class A Unit of RAC OpCo not held by Rice and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share or Class A Unit of RAC OpCo not held by Rice held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share or Class A Unit of RAC OpCo not held by Rice due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to utilize gas produced at their sites and to construct and operate facilities on their sites to produce RNG and renewable electricity.

On September 15, 2021, Archaea consummated the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it applybusiness combinations pursuant to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Business Combination Agreements

On April 7, 2021, the Company entered into (i) the Business Combination Agreement, dated April 7, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Aria Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company,Rice Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“RAC”), Rice Acquisition Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct subsidiary of RAC OpCo,(“RAC Opco”), LFG Intermediate Co, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct subsidiary of RAC OpCoOpco (“RAC Intermediate”), LFG Buyer Co, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct subsidiary of RAC Intermediate (“RAC Buyer”), Inigo Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct subsidiary of RAC Buyer (“Aria Merger Sub”), Aria Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Aria”), and the Equityholder Representative (as defined therein),Aria Renewable Energy Systems LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to which, among other things, Aria Merger Sub will mergewas merged with and into Aria, with Aria surviving the merger and becoming a direct subsidiary of RAC Buyer, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the transactions contemplated by the Aria Merger Agreement, the “Aria Merger”), and (ii) the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Archaea Merger Agreement” and, together with the Aria Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination Agreements”), by and among the Company, RAC, OpCo,RAC Opco, RAC Intermediate, RAC Buyer, Fezzik Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct subsidiary of RAC Buyer (“Archaea Merger Sub”), Archaea Energy LLC, (“Archaea Seller”), a Delaware limited liability company, and Archaea Energy II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Legacy Archaea” and, together with Archaea Seller and Aria, the “Companies”), pursuant to which, among other things, Archaea Merger Sub will mergewas merged with and into Legacy Archaea, with Legacy Archaea surviving the merger and becoming a direct subsidiary of RAC Buyer, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreements,Archaea Merger Agreement, the “Archaea Merger” and, together with the Aria Merger, the “Business Combinations”).

Following the Business Combinations, holders of Class A Units of RAC OpCo (other than the Company) will have the right (an “exchange(a “redemption right”), subject to certain limitations, to exchangeredeem Class A Opco Units of RAC OpCo (andand a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock)Stock for, at the Company’sOpco’s option, (i) shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, or (ii) a corresponding amount of cash. the Company’s decision to make a cash payment or issue shares upon an exercise of an exchange right will be made by the Company’s independent directors, and such decision will be based on facts in existence at the time of the decision, which the Company expects would include the relative value of the Class A Common Stock (including trading prices for the Class A Common Stock at the time), the cash purchase price, the availability of other sources of liquidity (such as an issuance of preferred stock) to acquire the Class A Units of RAC OpCo and alternative uses for such cash.

Holders of Class A Units of RAC OpCo (other than the Company) will generally be permitted to exercise the exchange right on a quarterly basis, subject to certain de minimis allowances. In addition, additional exchanges may occur in connection with certain specified events, and any exchanges involving more than a specified number of Class A Units of RAC OpCo (subject to the Company’s discretion to permit exchanges of a lower number of units) may occur at any time upon ten business days’ advanced notice. The exchange rights will be subject to certain limitations and restrictions intended to reduce the administrative burden of exchanges upon the Company and ensure that RAC OpCo will continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Following any exchange of Class A Units of RAC OpCo (and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock), RAC will retain the Class A Units of RAC OpCo and cancel the shares of Class B Common Stock. As the holders of Class A Units of RAC OpCo (other than the Company) exchange their Class A Units of RAC OpCo, the Company’s membership interest in RAC OpCo will be correspondingly increased, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding will be increased, and the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding will be reduced.

Conditions to Consummation of the Business Combinations

Consummation of the Business Combinations is generally subject to customary conditions of the respective parties, and conditions customary to special purpose acquisition companies, including (i) expiration or termination of all applicable waiting periods under HSR, (ii) the absence of any law or governmental order, threatened or pending, preventing the consummation of the Business Combinations, (iii) completion of the Company Share Redemptions (as defined in the Business Combination Agreements), (iv) receipt of requisite stockholder approval for consummation of the Business Combinations, (v) the consummation of the LES Sale (as defined in the Aria Merger Agreement) by Aria and (vi) the issuance by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of an order granting authorization for the Business Combinations pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Power Act of 1935. In addition, the parties also have the right to not consummate the Business Combinations in the event that the cash on the balance sheet of the combined company following the closing of the Business Combinations (the “Combined Company”) would be less than $150,000,000, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreements. Furthermore, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Aria Merger Agreement is expressly conditioned on the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Archaea Merger Agreement and vice versa.

Termination

Each of the Business Combination Agreements may be terminated by the parties thereto under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the closing of the Business Combinations, including, without limitation, by mutual written consent or if the Business Combinations have not been consummated within 150 days from the date of the Business Combination Agreements (subject to certain extensions for up to 30 days for delays as set forth in the Business Combination Agreements).

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Business Combinations, the Company, RAC Buyer, RAC OpCo, Sponsor, and certain other individuals affiliated with the Companies (the “Company Holders”) will enter into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the board of directors of the Combined Company (the “Board”) will consist of seven members, (ii) the holders of a majority of the Company Interests (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) held by the RAC Sponsor Holders (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) will have the right to designate two directors (the “RAC Sponsor Directors”) for appointment or election to the Board during the term of the Stockholders Agreement, (iii) the Ares Investors (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) will have the right to designate one director (the “Ares Director”) for appointment or election to the Board for so long as the Ares Investors hold at least 50% of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) held by them on the date that the Business Combinations are consummated (the “Ares Fall-Away Date”), (iv) the Board shall take all necessary action to designate the person then serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Combined Company (the “CEO Director”) for appointment or election to the Board during the term of the Stockholders Agreement and (v) the Board shall designate three independent directors (the “Independent Directors”) to serve on the Board during the term of the Stockholders Agreement.

The interim operatingCompany’s consolidated financial statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries and all VIEs with respect to which the Company determined it is the primary beneficiary. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the 2021 Annual Report.
The Archaea Merger with RAC was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Legacy Archaea deemed the accounting acquirer, and therefore, there was no step-up to fair value of any RAC assets or liabilities and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded. The Aria Merger was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Aria deemed to be the acquiree for accounting purposes. The Company also determined that Aria is the Company’s predecessor and therefore has included the historical financial statements of Aria as predecessor beginning on page 32.
Principles of Consolidation
As the Company completed its Business Combinations on September 15, 2021, these unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021 include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the combined results of the businesses of Legacy Archaea and Aria as operated by the Company after the Business Combinations; whereas, the unaudited results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are those of Legacy Archaea, the accounting acquirer.
The Company has determined that Opco is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Therefore, the Company consolidates Opco, and ownership interests of Opco not necessarily indicativeowned by the Company are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests due to certain features of the resultsredemption right. See “Note 15 - Nonredeemable and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Stockholders’ Equity.” Entities that may be expectedare majority-owned by Opco are consolidated. Certain investments in entities are accounted for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any future periods.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Amendment No. 2 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on December 28, 2021, which contains the audited financial statementsequity method investments and notes thereto.

Emerging Growth Company

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
12


The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)Table of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.Contents

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Risk and Uncertainties

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be materially adversely affected due to significant governmental measures being implemented to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact, including travel restrictions, the shutdown of businesses and quarantines, among others, which may limit the Company’s ability to have meetings with potential investors or affect the ability of a potential target company’s personnel, vendors and service providers to negotiate and consummate an initial Business Combination in a timely manner. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination may also be dependent on the ability to raise additional equity and debt financing, which may be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting market downturn.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $5,000 in our operating bank account and a working capital deficit of approximately $7.6 million.

The Company’s liquidity needs to date had been satisfied through the payment of $26,000 from the Sponsor to purchase the Founder Shares and Sponsor Shares (see Note 4), the loan under the Note of approximately $290,000 (see Note 4), and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company repaid the Note in full on November 10, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s officers, directors and initial stockholders may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). As of June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing, and management has the intent and ability to support the Company through such time period. Over this time period, the Company will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Financial Statement Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned and controlled operating subsidiary after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The ownership interest of noncontrolling participants in the operating subsidiary is included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The noncontrolling participants’ share of the net loss is included as “Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in subsidiary” on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In connection with the change in presentation of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, the Company concluded it should restate its previously issued financial statements to classify all Class A common stock subject to redemption in temporary equity. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of its Class A common stock in permanent equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter currently provides that the Company will not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable shares classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. The Company revised this interpretation to include temporary equity in net tangible assets.

In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, the Company revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and losses shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. This presentation differs from the previously presented method of earnings per share, which was similar to the two-class method.

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company evaluated the corrections and has determined that the related impact was material to the previously filed financial statements that contained the error, reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2021. Therefore, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2021, should be restated to present all Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as temporary equity, restate earnings per share and to recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its Initial Public Offering. The previously presented unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2021, should no longer be relied upon. The restatement does not have an impact on the Company’s cash position and cash held in the Trust Account.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and liabilities and disclosure ofexpenses, as well as contingent assets and liabilities atliabilities. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the financial statements. MakingActual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues from the production and sales of RNG, Power, and associated Environmental Attributes, as well as from the performance of other landfill energy operations and maintenance (“O&M”) services. The Company also manufactures and sells customized pollution control equipment and performs associated maintenance agreement services. Prior to the January 1, 2022 adoption of ASC 842 - Leases as discussed in “Note 3 - Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards,” a portion of the Company’s revenue was accounted for under ASC 840 - Leases and a portion under ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers based on requirements of GAAP. Under ASC 840, lease revenue is recognized generally upon delivery of RNG and electricity. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies its performance obligation(s) under the contract by transferring the promised product or service either when (or as) its customer obtains control of the product or service, including RNG, electricity and their related Environmental Attributes. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring its products or services. Based on the terms of the related sales agreements, the amounts recorded under ASC 840 as lease revenue are generally consistent with revenue recognized under ASC 606. After the January 1, 2022 adoption of ASC 842, revenue is accounted for solely under ASC 606 as our facilities no longer meet the definition of leased assets under ASC 842.
Business Combinations
For business combinations that meet the accounting definition of a business, the Company determines and allocates the purchase price of an acquired company to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if applicable, as of the date of acquisition at fair value. Fair value may be estimated using comparable market data, a discounted cash flow method, or a combination of the two. In the discounted cash flow method, estimated future cash flows are based on management’s expectations for the future and can include estimates of future biogas production, commodity prices, operating and development costs, and a risk-adjusted discount rate. Revenues and costs of the acquired companies are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition.
The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, and these estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement during the measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. As a result, any adjustment identified subsequent to the measurement period is included in operating results in the period in which the amount is determined. The Company’s acquisitions are discussed in “Note 4 - Business Combinations and Reverse Recapitalization.”
NOTE 3 – Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The main difference between previous generally accepted accounting principles and the new requirements under Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases with a term greater than 12 months classified as operating leases under previous GAAP.

ARCHAEA ENERGY INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Upon adoption of Topic 842 as of January 1, 2022, the Company recognized $5.1 million of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet related to operating leases existing on the adoption date. Prior period financial statements were not adjusted. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations or consolidated statement of cash flows. See “Note 11 - Leases” for additional information.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the transition from the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to an alternative reference rate. The guidance intends to address certain concerns relating to accounting for contract modifications and hedge accounting. These optional expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP, assuming certain criteria are met, are allowed through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this update and has not yet determined whether it will elect the optional expedients. The Company does not expect the transition to an alternative rate to have a material impact on its business, operations or liquidity.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 requires all entities to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance aims to improve comparability for revenue contracts with customers by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for all revenue contracts with customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2023 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 4 – Business Combinations and Reverse Recapitalization
Formation of the Lightning JV
On May 5, 2022, the Company and Republic Services, Inc. (“Republic”) announced the formation of the Lightning JV to develop 39 RNG projects across the U.S. that will be located at various landfill sites owned or operated by Republic. The joint venture will develop and construct RNG facilities that will convert LFG into pipeline-quality RNG that can be used for a variety of applications. The Company holds a 60% ownership interest in the Lightning JV, and the Company’s initial capital funding of $222.5 million was paid into the Lightning JV on July 5, 2022. Concurrent with the initial funding, the Lightning JV completed the acquisition of landfill gas rights and underlying assets at an additional Republic-owned landfill for $37.9 million, bringing the total number of RNG development projects within the Lightning JV to 40. The Lightning JV did not conduct any activities impacting the financial results of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Reverse Recapitalization
Legacy Archaea is considered the accounting acquirer of the Business Combinations because the Legacy Archaea Holders have the largest portion of the voting power of the Company and Legacy Archaea’s senior management comprise the majority of the executive management of the Company. Additionally, the Legacy Archaea Holders appointed the majority of board members exclusive of the independent board members. The Archaea Merger represents a reverse merger and is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, RAC is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Archaea Merger is treated as the equivalent of Legacy Archaea issuing shares for the net assets of RAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of RAC were stated at historical cost, no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets include unbilled amounts from equipment sales projects when revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress exceed the amounts invoiced to customers, as the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

NOTE 7 – Equity Method Investments
As a result of the Aria Merger, the Company holds 50% interest in two joint ventures, Mavrix, LLC (“Mavrix”) and Sunshine Gas Producers, LLC (“SGP”), which are accounted for using the equity method due to the joint control by both the Company and unrelated parties with ownership interest in each entity.
Under the terms of the original Mavrix, LLC Contribution Agreement dated September 30, 2017, the Company is required to make an earn-out payment to its joint venture partner holding the other 50% membership in Mavrix in an amount up to $9.55 million. The earn-out payment represents additional consideration for the Company’s equity interest in Mavrix and will be based on the performance of certain projects owned by Mavrix through the earn-out period which ends September 30, 2022. No earn-out payment is due until the completion of the earn-out period. In February 2022, the Mavrix, LLC Contribution Agreement was amended to exclude certain upgrade and optimization capital expenditures incurred for one specific project from the earn-out calculation and to add a maintenance expenditure cap. Based on the amended terms, the Company has estimated the earn-out payment to be $8.3 million at June 30, 2022, and this amount is reflected in the accompanying balance sheet in accrued and other current liabilities.

The Company has elected the package of practical expedients, which allows the Company not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the adoption date. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less.

The following table summarizes the Initial Public Offering, 23,725,000 sharesincome statement effect of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Incomegains and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of therelated to warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the consummation of the over-allotment) and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 18,633,500 shares of Class A common stock, because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net income (loss) per sharederivative instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

On September 1, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan

In connection with Business Combinations, the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory noteadopted the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Note”“Plan”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed an aggregate of approximately $290,000may grant restricted stock, RSUs, incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, stock awards and other stock-based awards to officers, directors, employees and consultants under the Note. The outstanding balance of the Note was paid in full as of November 10, 2020. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to the Company.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, havethe Plan. There are 11.3 million shares authorized under the plan and approximately 9.6 million shares remain available for future issuance as of June 30, 2022. The Company determines the grant-date fair value of its RSUs using the fair market value of its stock on the grant date, unless the awards are subject to market-based vesting conditions, in which case the Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the grant-date fair value. The Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the grant-date fair value for all equity awards that are expected to vest. This expense is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures of awards granted under the Plan as they occur in determining compensation expense.

Restricted Stock Units
In January 2022, the Company granted a total of 41,028 RSUs to non-employee directors with a one-year vesting period. These RSUs will be subject to forfeiture restrictions and cannot be sold, transferred, or disposed of during the restriction period.
In February 2022, the Company modified and accelerated the vesting of 158,583 unvested RSUs for certain employees and recognized $2.9 million of incremental share-based compensation expense related to these modifications.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted a total of 666,677 RSUs to its executives and other employees, and these RSUs generally vest over a three-year period.

Performance-Based RSUs
In April and May 2022, the Company granted a total of 364,117 performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) to its senior executives and certain other high-level employees.

These PSUs vest on March 1, 2025 following the completion of a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2020,2024. The performance criteria consist of the market-based Absolute Total Shareholders Return (“ATSR”) and the performance-based Average Cash Return on Investment (“ACRI”). Depending on the results achieved during the three-year performance period, the actual number of PSUs that an award recipient receives at the end of the vesting period may range from 0% to 200% of the target PSUs granted.
Estimates of grant-date fair value of these PSUs may not accurately predict the value ultimately realized by the employees who received the awards, and the ultimate value may not be indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company.
The fair value of the ATSR market-based performance objective was determined using Monte Carlo simulations with the following weighted-average assumptions:

NOTE 17 – Provision for Income Tax
Archaea Energy Inc. is organized as a Subchapter C corporation and, as of June 30, 2022, is a 67.4% owner of LFG Acquisition Holdings LLC. LFG Acquisition Holdings LLC is organized as a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes and, as such, is generally not subject to any U.S. federal and state entity-level income taxes with the exception of two subsidiary Subchapter C corporations and certain limited state jurisdictions.
The Company recognized federal and state income tax expense of $0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company did not record a tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to Archaea Energy LLC's status as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The effective tax rates were 0% and (23.6)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 0% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% was primarily due to a full valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net U.S. and state deferred tax assets, income (loss) from pass-through entities not attributable to Class A Common Stock, and state and local taxes. The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company incurred expensesdetermined it is not more likely than not the Company’s net deferred tax assets will be realized due to significant negative evidence such as cumulative losses and continues to maintain a full valuation allowance. There are no unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of $30,000June 30, 2022 and $60,000 underDecember 31, 2021.

NOTE 18 – Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Archaea Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and is treated as the equivalent of Legacy Archaea receiving proceeds for the issuance of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, as well as the warrants, of Rice Acquisition Corp. accompanied by a recapitalization. Therefore, Class A Common Stock is deemed to be outstanding beginning at the Closing due to the reverse recapitalization.

Forward Purchase Agreement

Use of Estimates

The Company entered into an amended and restated forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Atlas Point Fund, pursuant to which Atlas Point Fund, which is a fund managed by CIBC National Trust but is not affiliated with the Company or sponsor, agreed to purchase up to $75,000,000 of either (i) a number of units (the “forward purchase units”), consisting of one share of Class A common stock (the “forward purchase shares”) and one-third of one warrant (the “forward purchase warrants”), for $10.00 per unit or (ii) a number of forward purchase shares for $9.67 per share (such forward purchase shares valued at $9.67 per share or the forward purchase units, as the case may be, the “forward purchase securities”), in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closingpreparation of the Initial Business Combination. The forward purchase warrants will haveconsolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the same terms asconsolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition
Aria generates revenue from the public warrantsproduction and sale of electricity, gas, and their related Environmental Attributes, and performance of other landfill energy services. Based on requirements of GAAP, a portion of revenue is accounted for under ASC 840, Leases, and a portion under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 840, revenue is recognized generally upon delivery of electricity, gas, and their related Environmental Attributes. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized upon the forward purchase shares will be identicaltransfer of control of promised goods or services to the shares of Class A common stock includedcustomer in the units being sold in this offering, except the forward purchase shares and the forward purchase warrants will be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights and the forward purchase units will consist of only one-third of one forward purchase warrant. The funds from the sale of the forward purchase securities may be used as part ofan amount that reflects the consideration to the sellers in the Initial Business Combination, and any excess funds may be used for the working capital needs of the post-transaction company. This agreementwhich is independent of the percentage of stockholders electingexpected to redeem their public shares and may provide the Company with an increased minimum funding level for the Initial Business Combination. The forward purchase agreement is subject to conditions, including Atlas Point Fund giving the Company its irrevocable written consent to purchase the forward purchase securities no later than five days after the Company notifies it of the Company’s intention to meet to consider entering into a definitive agreement for a proposed Business Combination. Atlas Point Fund may grant or withhold its consent to the purchase entirely within its sole discretion. Accordingly, if Atlas Point Fund does not consent to the purchase, it will not be obligated to purchase the forward purchase securities.

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. Additionally, pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to grant certain registration rights to Atlas Point Fund in connection with the issuance of any forward purchase units upon the completion of the Company’s Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the registration of such securities.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,225,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On October 26, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,225,000 Units.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit (excluding the Affiliated Units purchased). As a result of affiliates of the Sponsor purchasing 1,980,000 Units, the Company paid an underwriting discount of approximately $4.3 million in the aggregate upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit (excluding the Affiliated Units),in exchange for those goods or approximately $7.6 million in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject toservices. Based on the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluatePower Purchase Agreements, the impact ofamounts recorded under ASC 840 are generally consistent with revenue recognized under ASC 606. For the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of the Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Newly Issued Price.

Redemption of warrants when our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

The Company will not redeem the warrants for cash unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If the Company calls the warrants for redemption for cash as described above, the management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.”

Redemption of warrants when our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

in whole and not in part;

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares of Class A common stock determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Class A common stock;

if and only if, the last sale price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Note 8—Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received$61.4 million was recorded in connectionconjunction with the sale, which accounts for the proceeds received, the debt and interest payable relieved and settlement of LESPH intercompany balances, and Aria recorded an ordinary gain on sale of assets in the assets or paid in connection with the transferamount of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3$1.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Level 1 assets include investmentsThe pre-tax net earnings associated with LESPH included in U.S. treasury securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within derivative warrant liabilities on the Company’s condensedAria’s consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the statement of operations.

For periods where no observable traded price is available, the fair value of the Public Warrants was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the fair value of the Public Warrants is based on the observable listed price for such warrants. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants,operations were $69.0 million and the Public Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility of select peer companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The measurement of the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market.

The key Level 3 fair value measurement inputs into the Black-Scholes model for the Private Placement Warrants as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

References to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Rice Acquisition Corp. and its majority-owned and controlled operating subsidiary, Rice Acquisition Holdings LLC (“RAC OpCo”), unless the context indicates otherwise. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and therelated notes thereto containedincluded elsewhere in this report. Certain informationReport. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates, and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the discussionsection entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in the 2021 Annual Report and analysisthe sections entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A and “Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this Report.

Overview
Archaea is one of the largest RNG producers in the U.S., with an industry-leading RNG platform primarily focused on capturing and converting waste emissions from landfills and livestock farms into low-carbon RNG and electricity. As of June 30, 2022, the Company owns, through wholly-owned entities or joint ventures, a diversified portfolio of 32 LFG recovery and processing projects across 18 states, including 13 operated projects that produce pipeline-quality RNG and 19 LFG to renewable electricity production facilities.
Archaea develops, designs, constructs, and operates RNG facilities. Archaea, through wholly-owned entities or joint ventures, has entered into long-term agreements with biogas site hosts which give us the rights to utilize gas produced at their sites and to construct and operate facilities on their sites to produce RNG and renewable electricity. Archaea’s development backlog includes 38 cumulative projects as of June 30, 2022 and increased to 88 cumulative projects as of July 31, 2022 primarily due to the Lightning JV and INGENCO transaction, with the total backlog including planned optimizations of certain operating RNG facilities over time and opportunities to build new RNG facilities on sites with existing renewable electricity facilities and on greenfield sites.
Our differentiated commercial strategy is focused on selling the majority of our RNG volumes under long-term, fixed-price contracts to creditworthy partners, including utilities, corporations, and universities, helping these entities reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve decarbonization goals while utilizing their existing gas infrastructure. We seek to mitigate our exposure to commodity and Environmental Attribute pricing volatility by selling a majority of our RNG and related Environmental Attributes under long-term fixed price contracts with creditworthy counterparties, which are designed to provide revenue certainty.
Certain long-term off-take contracts were accounted for as operating leases prior to January 1, 2022 and have no minimum lease payments. The rental income under these leases was recorded as revenue when the RNG was delivered to the customer. RNG not covered by off-take contracts is sold under short-term market-based contracts. When the performance obligation is satisfied through the delivery of RNG to the customer, revenue is recognized. We usually receive payments from the sale of RNG production within one month after delivery.

We also earn revenue by selling RINs, which are generated when producing and selling RNG as transportation fuel. These RINs are able to be separated and sold independently from the RNG produced. When the RNG and RIN are sold on a bundled basis under the same contract, revenue is recognized when the RNG is produced and the RNG and associated RINs are transferred to a third party. The remaining RIN sales are under a combination of short-term spot price contracts and forward sold fixed-price contracts independent from RNG sales, and revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to a third-party customer. We also generate and sell LCFS credits at some of our RNG projects through off-take contracts similar to RINs. LCFS is state level program administered by the CARB. LCFS credits are generated as the RNG is sold as vehicle fuel in California.

There is a general lag in the generation and sale of RINs and LCFS credits subsequent to a facility being placed into operation. While each new facility is eligible to register under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) upon initial production and pipeline injection, Archaea has external parties certify its plants under the EPA’s voluntary Quality Assurance Plan (“QAP”) in order to maximize the value of its D3 RINs. The initial QAP review generally requires evaluation of up to 90 days of operational data prior to achieving Q-RIN status. Once registration is obtained from the EPA and Q-RIN status achieved, Archaea can generate qualified RINs. RINs are generated monthly for the previous month’s production. Quarterly and annual reports are required to maintain RFS registration and Q-RIN status for each facility.
LCFS registration requires a minimum of 90 days operational data for a provisional fuel pathway application. Following
40


the application submission, there is a mandatory third-party validation period ranging from three to six months. During this time, LCFS credits can be generated for the facility using a temporary carbon intensity (“CI”) score, which is typically higher than the expected certified CI for our facilities. Following successful fuel pathway validation, the facility is eligible to generate LCFS credits using the new provisional CI score. LCFS credits are generated on a quarterly basis for the previous quarter of production. Credits are then available to be sold. Quarterly and annual reports are required to maintain LCFS registration and certified CI for each facility.
Our Segments
The Company reports segment information in two segments: RNG and Power. Prior to the Business Combinations, the Company managed RNG as its primary business operations, which is to construct and develop biogas facilities on landfill sites for production of RNG. Our Power segment generates revenue by selling renewable electricity and associated Environmental Attributes. We expect our future long-term growth to be driven primarily by additional projects within the RNG segment, and we expect to build new RNG facilities on the majority of our sites with existing LFG to renewable electricity projects over time.
In addition, we hold interests in other entities that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, including Mavrix, LLC, which owns and operates five separate RNG facilities, and Saturn Renewables, LLC, which owns gas rights at two landfills, both of which are included in the RNG segment, as well as the Sunshine electric project included in the Power segment.
The Business Combinations
On September 15, 2021, RAC completed the Business Combinations to acquire Legacy Archaea and Aria. Following the Closing, RAC changed its name from “Rice Acquisition Corp.” to “Archaea Energy Inc.,” and Rice Acquisitions Holdings LLC was renamed “LFG Acquisition Holdings LLC” (also referred to herein as “Opco”).
The Company and Opco issued 33.4 million Class A Opco Units and 33.4 million shares of Class B Common Stock on the Closing Date to Legacy Archaea Holders to acquire Legacy Archaea. Aria was acquired for total initial consideration of $863.1 million, which was reduced by $1.9 million in March 2022 for the final adjustment under the terms set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risksin the Aria Merger Agreement. The initial Aria Merger consideration consisted of cash consideration of $377.1 million paid to Aria Holders and uncertainties.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporatedequity consideration in Delaware on September 1, 2020 for the purposeform of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Our sponsor is Rice Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”).

The registration statement for our initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”)23.0 million Class A Opco Units and 23.0 million shares of Class B Common Stock. In addition, $91.1 million of Aria debt was declared effective on October 21, 2020. On October 26, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,725,000 units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”), including 2,225,000 additional Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $237.3 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12.5 million, inclusive of $7.6 millionrepaid in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneouslyconnection with the closingAria Merger.

Archaea has retained its “up-C” structure, whereby all of the Initial Public Offering, we consummatedequity interests in Aria and Legacy Archaea are indirectly held by Opco and Archaea Energy Inc.’s only assets are its equity interests in Opco. Opco is considered a VIE for accounting purposes, and the private placement (“Private Placement”)Company, as the sole managing member of 6,771,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant”Opco, is considered the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company consolidates Opco and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) to our Sponsor and Atlas Point Energy Infrastructure Fund, LLC (“Atlas Point Fund”),unitholders that hold economic interests directly at a priceOpco are presented as redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Company’s financial statements.
Holders of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Rice’s Class A common stock or, inOpco Units (other than Archaea) have a redemption right, subject to certain circumstances, onelimitations, to redeem Class A Unit of RAC OpCo together withOpco Units (and a corresponding number of shares of Rice’s non-economic Class B common stock.

Following the Initial Public Offering, our public stockholders hold a direct economic equity ownership interest in Rice in the form ofCommon Stock) for, at Opco’s option, (i) shares of Class A commonCommon Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and an indirect ownership interestthe like, or (ii) a corresponding amount of cash.

Predecessor and Successor Reporting
Legacy Archaea is considered the accounting acquirer of the Business Combinations for accounting purposes, and the Archaea Merger represents a reverse merger and is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, RAC OpCo through Rice’s ownershipis treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Archaea Merger is treated as the equivalent of Class A UnitsLegacy Archaea issuing shares for the net assets of RAC, OpCo. By contrast,accompanied by a recapitalization.
Legacy Archaea is considered the Initial Stockholders (our Sponsor, Atlas Point Fund“Successor.” As such, the consolidated assets, liabilities and our officers and directors) own direct economic interests in RAC OpCo in the formresults of Class B Units and a corresponding non-economic voting equity interest in Rice in the form of shares of Class B common stock, as well as a small direct interest through the Sponsor Shares (as defined below). Sponsor Shares were purchased for $10.00 each and, in the absence of an initial Business Combination, will generally participate in liquidation or other payments on a pari passu basis with the Public Shares (as defined below). However, given the relatively de minimis number of Sponsor Shares relative to Public Shares, in many cases the economic, governance or other effects of the sponsor shares are not materialoperations prior to the holdersSeptember 15, 2021 reverse recapitalization are those of Class A common stock or warrants, and for simplicity, portions of this disclosure may not fully describe or reflect these immaterial effects.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, approximately $237.3 million of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or October 26, 2022, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to pay our franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares and Class A Units of RAC OpCo (other than those held by Rice), which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Aria Merger represents a business combination in Item 1which Aria was determined to be the acquired company. Due to Aria’s historical operations compared to Legacy Archaea and the relative fair values, Aria was determined to be the “Predecessor.” Aria’s consolidated statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Resultsoperations and consolidated statements of Operations

Our entire activitycomprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 has been related to identifying a target companyand Aria’s consolidated statement of cash flows for our initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds from the IPO. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a loss of approximately $131.8 million, which consisted of approximately $125.6 million of change in fair value of warrant liabilities, approximately $6.2 million of general and administrative expenses, approximately $34,000 of franchise tax expense, partially offset by approximately $6,000 in interest earned on investments held in Trust Account.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 have been included in “Financial Statements” in Part 1, Item 1 of this Report to enhance comparability for readers.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results
Our results of operations will not be comparable to our Successor or our Predecessor’s historical results of operations for the reasons described below:
The Company’s results of operations and financial position may not be comparable to Legacy Archaea’s or Aria’s historical results as a result of the Business Combinations and the Company’s ongoing development activities. Our results prior to the closing of the Business Combinations on September 15, 2021 only include Legacy Archaea, the accounting acquirer, whereas our results beginning on September 15, 2021 include the combined operations of Legacy Archaea and Aria as managed by the Company. In addition, both Legacy Archaea and Aria have experienced significant growth and expansion over the last two years, and the Company expects to continue to grow significantly through organic growth projects and acquisitions, including the INGENCO acquisition and the Lightning JV. In addition to significant growth and expansion in operations, the Company has raised a significant amount of capital through financing transactions to fund a portion of that growth, which may also impact the comparability of our historical results to our future results.
As a result of the Business Combinations, and subsequent acquisitions, joint ventures and other transactions, the Company has hired and will need to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address expanded facilities, as well as public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. The Company expects to incur additional annual expenses as a public company that Legacy Archaea and Aria did not historically incur for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting and legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.
As a corporation, the Company is subject to U.S. federal income and applicable state taxes to the extent it generates positive taxable income. Legacy Archaea and Aria and their subsidiaries (with the exception of one partially-owned subsidiary which filed income tax returns as a C corporation) are and were generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax at an entity level. Accordingly, the net income in Legacy Archaea and Aria’s historical financial statements does not reflect the full tax expense the Company would have incurred if it were subject to U.S. federal income tax at an entity level during such periods.
Recent Events
Operational Highlights
Below are key recent development and operational events:
Formed the landmark Lightning JV with Republic to jointly invest approximately $1.1 billion to develop a total of 40 RNG projects across the U.S. that will be located at various landfill sites owned or operated by Republic. Initial funding occurred in July 2022 as discussed in “Note 4 - Business Combinations and Reverse Recapitalization” in this Report.
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company signed several new bundled RNG sales contracts for RNG and its associated Environmental Attributes, including a long-term fixed-price RNG agreement with Energir L.P (“Energir”) and a medium-term fixed-price RNG agreement with UGI Utilities, Inc. (“UGI”). The agreement with Energir is for the sale of 2.15 gigajoules (approximately 2.04 million MMBtus) annually for a period of 20 years beginning approximately October 2023 and is subject to Quebec regulatory approval. The agreement with UGI is for the sale of 331,785 MMBtus annually for a period of 5 years beginning July 1, 2022.

Completed initial optimization work at five legacy Aria facilities, with a focus on CO2 separation systems and nitrogen rejection unit upgrades, which are essential components of the Company’s V1 plant design, translating into improved operational performance at these existing RNG facilities. On average, methane recovery increased almost 10% upon completion of the initial optimization projects and is expected to further increase after completing the remaining optimization work at these and other legacy sites within the Company’s portfolio.
Produced first pipeline-quality RNG and achieved commercial operations at the Costa View dairy digester facility in May 2022, successfully completing the second of four dairy projects within the Company’s 50%-owned Mavrix joint venture with BP Products North America Inc.
Term Loan and Revolver Amendment
On June 30, 2022, the Company amended its Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement to, among other things, increase its total commitment by approximately $630 million to a total of $1.1 billion and provide for a $400 million Term Loan and a $700 million Revolver. See “Note 10 - Debt” in this Report for additional information on the Revolver and the Term Loan.
INGENCO Acquisition
On April 26, 2022, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Archaea Infrastructure, LLC, entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “INGENCO Purchase Agreement”) to purchase INGENCO, which owned 14 LFG to renewable electricity facilities. The consideration paid upon the July 2022 closing of the transaction was $230.5 million and was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Term Loan and Revolver. The acquisition includes gas rights for the 14 LFG to energy sites, which have a number of existing long-term agreements in place.
Lightning JV Formation
On May 5, 2022, the Company and Republic announced the formation of the Lightning JV to develop 39 RNG projects across the U.S. that will be located at various landfill sites owned or operated by Republic. The joint venture will develop and construct RNG facilities that will convert LFG into pipeline-quality RNG that can be used for a variety of applications.
Pursuant to the terms of the contribution agreement, dated May 4, 2022, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Zeus Renewables LLC (“Zeus”), and a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic, Republic Services Renewable Energy, LLC (“Investco”), will contribute approximately $780 million and $300 million, respectively, over approximately five years to six years in exchange for newly issued limited liability company interests of the Lightning JV (the “Lightning JV Membership Interests”), with Zeus and Investco holding 60% and 40%, respectively, of the outstanding Lightning JV Membership Interests. In July 2022, the Company made its initial capital contribution of $222.5 million to the Lightning JV, which was funded with borrowings under the Revolver. Concurrent with the funding, the Lightning JV paid $37.9 million to acquire an additional site (“Fort Wayne”) located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The purchase of Fort Wayne includes the landfill gas rights to a Republic-owned landfill site and a medium-BTU facility.

Cash on hand from operations of the Lightning JV (less certain customary reserves) will be distributed quarterly to Zeus and Investco, as the members, in accordance with their membership percentages, and no later than 10 days following the final commercial operations date of all approved LFG projects (excluding any subsequently abandoned), the Lightning JV will distribute all unused capital contributions to Zeus and Investco in proportion to their capital contributions.
The Lightning JV, Investco and Archaea Operating LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, have entered into certain other arrangements relating to the Lightning JV that govern, among other things, the grant by Republic of landfill gas rights and real property rights at 40 of Republic’s landfills to the Lightning JV, the process and timeline for development at those landfills by the Lightning JV, the production and sale of RNG and related Environmental Attributes by the Lightning JV, the payment of royalties to Republic and, in exchange for a fee to be paid to Archaea Operating LLC, engineering, procurement, construction management services and O&M services to be provided to the Lightning JV.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
The Company’s business strategy includes growth primarily through the upgrade and expansion of existing RNG production facilities, building new RNG production facilities at sites of our existing LFG to renewable electricity production facilities, development and construction of greenfield RNG development projects for which we hadalready have
43


gas development agreements in place, and the procurement of LFG rights and LFG to renewable electricity production facilities to develop additional RNG projects. We are also evaluating other potential sources of biogas and exploring the development of wells for carbon sequestration, the use of on-site solar-generated electricity to meet energy needs for RNG production, and the use of RNG as a lossfeedstock for low-carbon hydrogen.
The Company’s performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities but also pose risks and challenges. For information regarding the key factors affecting our performance and future success, see “Key Factors Affecting Operating Performance” within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of approximately $123.0 million,Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2021 Annual Report. In addition to those discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the 2021 Annual Report, these factors include: the demand for RNG, renewable electricity and Environmental Attributes;electricity prices and the costs of raw materials and labor; the regulatory landscape, which consistedaffects demand for our products by providing market participants with incentives to purchase RNG, renewable electricity and Environmental Attributes and which may also affect our development or operating costs; and seasonality.

Key Metrics
Management regularly reviews a number of changeoperating metrics and financial measurements to evaluate our performance, measure our growth and make strategic decisions. In addition to traditional GAAP performance and liquidity measures, such as revenue, cost of sales, net income and cash provided by operating activities, we also consider MMBtu of RNG and MWh of electricity sold and Adjusted EBITDA in fair valueevaluating our operating performance. Each of warrant liabilities, approximately $9.2 millionthese metrics is discussed below under “Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.”
Key Components of Results of Operations
See “Key Components of Results of Operations” within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2021 Annual Report for information regarding the key components of our results of operations, which are revenue, cost of sales, general and administrative expenses approximately $74,000and equity earnings.

The following discussion pertains to the results of operations, financial condition, and changes in financial condition of the Successor. Legacy Archaea (the Successor) did not have operational RNG and Power assets until commercial RNG and Power operations commenced in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 and did not have significant revenues from operations until the acquisition of Aria. A majority of the Company’s revenues prior to March 31, 2021 were comprised of sales of customized pollution control equipment and maintenance agreement services. As such, to provide more meaningful comparisons, the following discussion also compares certain of the Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 to the combined operating results of Legacy Archaea and Aria for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.Such combined information (which is referred to in this Report as “on a combined basis”) is the sum of the historical financial results of Legacy Archaea and Aria and does not include the impact of purchase accounting.
In this section, any increases or decreases “for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022” refer to the comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
As noted above, Legacy Archaea did not have significant revenues from operations until the the acquisition of Aria. As such, any segment comparison would not be informative and has not been included for comparison purposes.

Volumes increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 on consolidated basis due to the acquisition of Aria, commencement of commercial operations in April 2021 at our Boyd County RNG facility, the purchase of the PEI Power assets in April 2021, the acquisition of additional LFG to renewable electricity facilities, and the commencement of commercial operations at our Assai facility, offset by approximately $43,000downtime at certain facilities related to winter weather in interest earnedthe first quarter of 2022. The increase on investments held in Trust Account.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had 3.0 million RINs generated by June production that were committed and settled in July 2022 under short-term forward RIN sales contracts at a weighted-average price of $3.15. The related revenues and associated royalty expenses will be recognized in the third quarter of 2022.

Set forth below is a summary of selected financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Revenues and Other Income
Revenues and other income were approximately $5,000$77.2 million and $134.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to $5.1 million and $6.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, an increase of $72.1 million and $127.3 million, respectively. The increased revenues are primarily attributable to the acquisition of Aria resulting in a $48.1 million and $91.7 million increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, the strong market pricing of Environmental Attributes, natural gas and electricity, and the commencement of commercial operations at our operating bank accountAssai RNG facility, and other acquisitions made in late 2021, partially offset by downtime at certain facilities related to winter weather in the first quarter of 2022.
Revenues and other income increased on a working capital deficiencycombined basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to revenue and other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to the strong market pricing of approximately $7.6 million.

Cost of Sales
Costs of sales increased by $57.5 million and $99.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to $5.2 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of Aria resulting in increases of $36.3 million and $70.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, the commencement of commercial operations at our SponsorAssai RNG facility, additional royalty and marketing expenses, and increased utility and gas costs.
Costs of sales on a combined basis increased for three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to operational costs at our Assai RNG facility following the commencement of operations, higher utility prices, as well as increased depreciation and amortization expense as a result of those operations and the step-up in value of the Aria assets due to purchase accounting.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $18.9 million and $45.2 million for the Founder Sharesthree and Sponsor Shares,six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, an increase of $11.0 million and $34.2 million compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase is primarily due to higher employee costs, including share-based compensation expenses, associated with higher headcount and contractors and consultants costs as our business has expanded and we became a loan under a note agreementpublic company. Additionally, expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 include $3.6 million for non-recurring legal and professional fees and other non-recurring costs primarily associated with our Sponsorthe formation of approximately $290,000 (the “Note”),the Lightning JV and the net proceeds fromacquisition of INGENCO, and expenses for the consummationsix months ended June 30, 2022 include $8.9 million in severance related costs, including accelerated share-based compensation expense, and $6.0 million related to non-recurring legal and professional fees associated with the executive transition, the Ares Secondary Offering, the formation of the Lightning JV, and the acquisition of INGENCO.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income was $34.5 million and $12.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to other income of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the decrease in fair value on the Private Placement Warrant liabilities resulting in gains of $37.0 million and $13.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with no Private Placement Warrants outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and gains in fair value on the interest rate swap of $1.0 million and $4.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, offset in part by the increase in interest expense of $3.7 million and $6.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking net income (loss) before taxes, interest expense, and depreciation, amortization and accretion, and adjusting for the effects of certain non-cash items, other non-operating income or expense items, and other items not heldotherwise predictive or indicative of ongoing operating performance, including net derivatives activity, certain acquisition and other transaction expenses, severance expenses, non-cash share-based compensation expense and Settled RIN adjustment (as defined below). We believe the exclusion of these items enables investors and other users of our financial information to assess our sequential and quarter-over-quarter performance and operating trends on a more comparable basis and is consistent with management’s own evaluation of performance.
Under GAAP, the timing of revenue recognition for stand-alone RIN sales contracts is tied to the delivery of the RINs to our counterparty and not the production of the RINs. The Company had approximately 3.0 million RINs generated by June 2022 RNG production that were delivered under forward RIN sale agreements in July 2022 at a weighted-average price of $3.15. To reflect this and match the RIN revenue to the month of production, Adjusted EBITDA for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes a $7.0 million add-back (“Settled RIN adjustment”), which represents the net cash value (proceeds minus expenses) of this settled, forward sold RIN transaction. The related revenues and associated royalty expenses will be recognized in the Trust Account.third quarter of 2022. The Note was paidCompany anticipates the quarterly financial impact of these monetization timing delays to be mitigated over time as it continues to bring additional RNG facilities online and enter into new contracts.

Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments for equity method investment basis difference amortization and the depreciation and amortization expense included in fullour equity earnings from our equity method investments. These adjustments should not be understood to imply that we have control over the related operations and resulting revenues and expenses of our equity method investments. We do not control our equity method investments; therefore, we do not control the earnings or cash flows of such equity method investments. The use of Adjusted EBITDA, including adjustments related to equity method investments, as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly.

Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and external users of November 10, 2020. In addition,our consolidated financial statements to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, or historical cost basis. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss) as defined by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to management, investors, and other users of our financial information in orderevaluating the effectiveness of our operating performance in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of financial and operating performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Funds
The Company’s primary uses of cash have been to fund construction of RNG facilities and acquisitions of complementary businesses and assets and LFG rights. The Company is expected to primarily finance its project development activities with cash on hand, cash expected to be generated from operations and available funding under the Revolver. The amount and timing of the future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our acquisitions and project development efforts. As discussed in “Recent Events,” the Company has significantly expanded and accelerated the pace of developing its project backlog. The Company is in the process of optimizing the pace and timing of its long-term project development backlog as a Business Combination, our officers, directorsresult of recent additions to its backlog related to the Lightning JV and Sponsor may, but are not obligatedthe

acquisition of INGENCO. Capital expenditures guidance for 2022 (excluding acquisition costs) has increased to a range of $325 million to $365 million, to begin development on recent additions to the Company’s development backlog.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we borrowed a total of $50.0 million under the Revolver to provide us workingfunding for ongoing operations and capital loans.expenditures. As of June 30, 2022, we had the cash balance described in the paragraph below and approximately $580.5 million of outstanding indebtedness, including $400.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan and $130.5 million outstanding on our Assai Notes (as defined below). We also had $626.2 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolver as of June 30, 2022. On July 5, 2022 and July 14, 2022, we borrowed $220.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively, under the Revolver. Following these borrowings, available borrowing capacity under the Revolver was approximately $331.2 million. We expect the Revolver along with the Company’s other existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund the Company’s development capital needs for the foreseeable future, including capital expenditures related to the Lightning JV, projects related to INGENCO, and core development projects, thereby eliminating the need for additional external capital in the near-term based on the Company’s current development plans and backlog.
Further accelerating our growth plans may require additional cash requirements, which would likely be funded with additional debt or equity issuances. We may, to the extent market conditions are favorable, incur additional debt or issue equity securities to, among other things, finance future acquisitions of businesses, assets, or biogas rights, fund development of projects in our backlog, respond to competition, or for general corporate purposes. The Company cannot predict with certainty the timing, amount and terms of any future issuances of any such securities or whether they occur at all.
Cash
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $213.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, which is expected to provide ample liquidity to fund our current operations and a portion of our near-term development projects. As of June 30, 2022, we also had $21.9 million of restricted cash for permitted payments and required reserves related to the Assai RNG facility, including future principal and interest payments for the Assai Notes. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received a total of $9.3 million in distributions from restricted cash.
Term Loan and Revolver
On June 30, 2022, the Company amended its Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement which included a Revolver with an initial commitment of $250 million and a Term Loan with an initial commitment of $220 million. The amendment, among other things, increased the aggregate total commitment from the original syndicate of lenders plus two additional lenders by approximately $630 million to a total of $1.1 billion and provides for a $400 million Term Loan and a $700 million Revolver. In addition, on June 1, 2022, the benchmark interest rate was revised to SOFR plus 2.75% for the Revolver and SOFR plus 3.25% for the Term Loan. The maturity date of the Revolver and Term Loan remains unchanged at September 15, 2026.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company has outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan of $400.0 million at an effective interest rate of 4.89% and has drawn down a total of $50.0 million under the Revolver. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had issued letters of credit under the Credit Facilities of $23.8 million, and thus reducing the borrowing capacity of the Revolver to $626.2 million. Under the Company’s updated 2022 capital expenditure budget, we expect to utilize a portion of available capacity under the Revolver to fund our near-term development projects.

In July 2022, the Company drew an additional $295.0 million under the Revolver and used these proceeds along with incremental Term Loan proceeds from the June 30, 2022 amendment to fund its initial capital contribution in the Lightning JV and the acquisition of INGENCO.

See “Note 10 - Debt” in this Report for additional information on the Revolver and the Term Loan.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The underwriterspreparation of the Initial Public Offering were entitled to underwriting discounts and commissions of 5.5%, of which 2.0% (approximately $4.3 million) was paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and 3.5% (approximately $7.6 million) was deferred. The deferred underwriting discounts and commissions will become payable to the underwriters upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination and will be paid from the amounts held in the Trust Account. The underwriters are not entitled to any interest accrued on the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (the “ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company early adopted the ASU on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU diddoes not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisionsbelieve that among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and asinflation had a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act.

Previously Reported Material Weakness
The material weakness resulted from an ineffective risk assessment process, which led to improperly designed controls over the Company’s financial statement close process. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, the Company’s management hasManagement concluded that ourthis deficiency in internal control aroundover financial reporting related to an inadequate understanding of the interpretation and accounting forimpact of consolidation entries by certain complex equity and equity-linked instruments issued byindividuals. This failure led to a duplicate entry that constituted a material weakness as defined in the Company, and presentation of earnings per share was not effectively designed or maintained.SEC regulations. This material weakness resulted in the misstatement of general and administrative expenses and accounts payable - trade and in the restatement of the Company’s balance sheet as of October 26, 2020, its annualunaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended December 31, 2020 and its interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the carrying value of equity, equity-linked instruments and related accounts and disclosures, and presentation of earnings per share that would result in a material misstatement of the financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result, our management
We performed additional analysis as deemed necessaryand procedures with respect to ensureaccounts impacted by the material weakness in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A presentReport, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, are fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP.
Under “Changes to Internal Controls” below, we describe our remediation plan to address the identified material weakness.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes or updates to our risk factors that were previously disclosed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

1A of the 2021 Annual Report.
A key component of our growth strategy is expanding our backlog of high-quality development projects, including through acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic transactions, which present certain risks and uncertainties. We have limited operating experience at our current scale of operations and have plans to implement significant future growth, including through the INGENCO acquisition and the Lightning JV, which are expected to significantly expand our growth trajectory and our capital requirements in the near term and longer term. If we are unable to manage or finance our growth effectively, our financial performance may suffer.

In July 2022, we acquired INGENCO, and in May 2022, we and Republic formed the Lightning JV. We expect to continue considering acquisitions and other strategic transactions in the future and expect that such transactions will continue to be a key component of our near-term growth strategy. Some of our projections and expectations and, in part, our success are based on our ability to complete and integrate such transactions and recognize the anticipated financial, strategic and operational benefits thereof.

Pending, recent or future acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic transactions may negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects because (i) we may have difficulty managing our growth; (ii) we may assume liabilities of an acquired business (e.g., environmental, litigation or tax), including liabilities that were unknown at the time of the acquisition, that pose future risks to our working capital needs, cash flows and profitability, and we may be subject to risks beyond our estimates or what was disclosed to us; (iii) such acquisitions and transactions could divert management’s attention and other resources from our existing business; and (iv) substantial transaction costs to complete such acquisitions and transactions may be incurred and such costs may exceed the estimated financial and operational benefits. Further, the businesses or assets that we acquire, or our joint ventures or other strategic transactions, may not achieve anticipated revenue, production, earnings or cash flows, and we may be unable to fully realize all of the anticipated benefits and synergies from recent, pending and future strategic transactions. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business and Industry of the Company—Acquiring existing projects involves numerous risks.” in Part I, Item 1A in the 2021 Annual Report for additional risks relating to acquisitions.
In addition, such acquisitions and transactions may require increases in working capital and capital expenditure investments to fund their growth, and to facilitate or fund such acquisitions and transactions, we may incur or assume substantial additional indebtedness or issue equity securities. In July 2022, the Company paid $230.5 million for the acquisition of INGENCO and made an initial capital contribution of $222.5 million to the Lightning JV, both of which were funded with borrowings under the Credit Facilities. The development of the projects in accordance with the terms of the Lightning JV agreement will require significant additional capital, with the Lightning JV requiring cash capital contributions from us of approximately $780 million over approximately five to six years (including the initial capital contribution of $222.5 million which was funded in July 2022). We may fund certain incremental development costs associated with the Lightning JV and INGENCO RNG development projects through one or more capital markets transactions or private financing transactions. However, such financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain financing needed for future acquisitions or other strategic transactions, we may not be able to consummate such transactions and may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate such activities or growth initiatives. In addition, if either member of the Lightning JV fails to make its annual capital contribution to the Lightning JV on a timely basis, the other member may elect to loan such amount and may also elect to treat such loan as a capital contribution to the Lightning JV in an amount equal to twice the amount loaned, thereby decreasing the failing member’s membership interest in the Lightning JV.
52

The Lightning JV is a joint venture and our investment could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority and restrictions on transfer relating to the Lightning JV. The Lightning JV may also impair our operating flexibility and subject us to risks not present in investments that do not involve co-ownership.
Although we have the right to appoint three of the five persons to serve on the board of directors of the Lightning JV, the limited liability company agreement of the Lightning JV (the “Lightning JV LLC Agreement”) contains certain protective provisions requiring the approval of a supermajority vote of at least 80% of the directors to take certain actions, including, among other items, the incurrence of debt by the Lightning JV, amending the terms of the Lightning JV LLC Agreement, and approving or amending the annual budget of the Lightning JV. In addition, certain fundamental decisions involving the Lightning JV, such as approving any liquidation, dissolution, windup, commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, sale, merger or disposition of all of the assets of the Lightning JV, initial public offering or application for listing on a stock exchange of the Lightning JV, require a vote of at least 90% of the directors. Thus, our investment in the Lightning JV involves risks that are not present when we are able to exercise sole control over an asset, including certain major decisions requiring supermajority decision-making beyond our sole control and are subject to agreement with Republic. Differences in views between us and Republic may result in delayed decisions or failures to agree on major matters, such as large expenditures or the construction or acquisition of assets, and delayed decisions and disagreements could adversely affect the business and operations of the Lightning JV, and, in turn, our business, operations and financial results.
In addition, the members of the Lightning JV are subject to transfer restrictions with respect to their membership interests in the Lightning JV, including consent rights of the other member of the Lightning JV and a right of first offer for the other (non-transferring) member, which may make it more difficult to sell such interests in the future. In addition, Republic has a right of first refusal with respect to sales of certain assets from the Lightning JV. The terms of the Lightning JV also allow Republic to require us to take certain actions in the event we undergo certain changes of control, which could result in the termination of certain contractual agreements with Archaea Operating LLC or could result in us being forced to sell all of our membership interests in the Lightning JV to Republic at fair market value or at an otherwise specified value in the Lightning JV LLC Agreement or spin off the entity through which we participate in the Lightning JV.
Moreover, the Lightning JV, like joint ventures generally, could impair our operating flexibility and subject us to risks not present in investments that do not involve co-ownership. The Lightning JV LLC Agreement allows Republic, in certain circumstances, to terminate its master landfill gas development agreement with the Lightning JV, which, among other things, governs the grant by Republic of landfill gas and real property rights at its landfills to the Lightning JV. The Lightning JV LLC Agreement also allows Republic to terminate an individual LFG project of the Lightning JV in certain circumstances, including the failure of the LFG project to complete project milestones or commence commercial operations within the agreed-upon timeframe or satisfy certain other commercial obligations. We may also be liable for liquidated damages under the master engineering, procurement and construction agreement between the Lightning JV and Archaea Operating LLC for failure to meet specified commercial operations dates or operating metrics. Furthermore, the Lightning JV may establish separate financing arrangements that contain restrictive covenants that may limit or restrict the entity’s ability to make cash distributions to the members of Lightning JV under certain circumstances. Additionally, from time to time, the Lightning JV may be involved in disputes or legal proceedings which may negatively affect the Lightning JV or our investment. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business and Industry of the Company—We currently own, and in the future may acquire, certain assets through joint ventures. As operating partner for some of our joint venture projects, we are exposed to counterparty credit risk, and as non-operating partner for other joint venture projects, we have limited control over management decisions and our interests in such assets may be subject to transfer or other related restrictions.” in Part I, Item 1A in the 2021 Annual Report for additional risks associated with joint ventures.
Effective December 31, 2022, we will be a large accelerated filer and no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company or emerging growth company, which will increase our costs and demands on management.
Based on the Company's aggregate worldwide market value of voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates as of June 30, 2022, the Company will become a “large accelerated filer” and lose smaller reporting company and emerging growth company status on December 31, 2022. Due to this upcoming transition, we are devoting significant time and efforts to implement and comply with the additional standards, rules and regulations that will apply to us upon becoming a large accelerated filer and losing our smaller reporting company and emerging growth company status, diverting such time from the day-to-day conduct of our business operations. Compliance with the additional requirements of being a large accelerated filer will also increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs.
53

As a smaller reporting company and an emerging growth company, we are nothave availed ourselves of the exemption from the requirement that our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, we may no longer avail ourselves of this exemption when we become a large accelerated filer and our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to disclose any material changes from risk factors as previously disclosedformally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. However, below is a partial list of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on the Company and its operations:

we may not be able to complete our initial business combination in the prescribed time frame;

our expectations around the performance of a prospective target business or businesses may not be realized;

we may not be successful in retaining or recruiting required officers, key employees or directors following our initial business combination;

our officers and directors may have difficulties allocating their time between the Company and other businesses and may potentially have conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial business combination;

we may not be able to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination or reduce the number of shareholders requesting redemption;

trust account funds may not be protected against third party claims or bankruptcy;

an active market for our public securities may not develop and you will have limited liquidity and trading; and

the availability to us of funds from interest income on the trust account balance may be insufficient to operate our business prior to the business combination.

For more information about our risk factors, see Item 1A of Part I in Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the period endedyear ending December 31, 20202022. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed, or operating. Due to the complexity and logistical difficulty of implementing the section titled “Risk Factors” containedstandards, rules and regulations that apply to non-emerging growth companies on an accelerated timeframe, there is an increased risk that we may be found to be in non-compliance with such standards, rules and regulations or to have significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our definitive proxy statement filed withinternal controls over financial reporting. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition and could cause a decline in the SEC on August 12, 2021, as the same may be amended or supplemented, with respect to our initial business combination.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

On October 26, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,725,000 Units, including the Over-Allotment Units. The Units were sold at atrading price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $237,250,000. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,225,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On October 23, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on October 26, 2020, the underwriters purchased the Over-Allotment Units.

Barclays Capital Inc., AmeriVet Securities Inc. and Academy Securities Inc. served as underwriters for the Initial Public Offering. The securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-249340). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on October 21, 2020.

In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we paid a total of approximately $4.3 million in underwriting discounts and commissions. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer approximately $7.6 million in underwriting discounts and commissions, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination. Prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor loaned RAC OpCo approximately $300,000 under the Note.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, we incurred offering costs of approximately $12.5 million, inclusive of approximately $7.6 million in deferred underwriting commissions. Other incurred offering costs consisted principally of preparation fees related to the Initial Public Offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination, if consummated) and the Initial Public Offering expenses, $237.3 million of the net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds from the private placement of the Private Placement Warrants (or $10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants are held in the Trust Account and invested as described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Class A Common Stock.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

None.

On October 26, 2020, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to separate Private Placement Warrants and Warrant Rights Agreements, dated September 21, 2020, by and among the Company and RAC OpCo, and each of the Sponsor and Atlas Point Fund, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,771,000 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor and Atlas Point Fund, generating gross proceeds of $6,771,000.

There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as is described in the Company’s final prospectus related to the Initial Public Offering.
