Shareholders of Alussa and other interested persons are advised to read the preliminary proxy statement, and amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement in connection with Alussa’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting to be held to approve the Business Combination because these documents contain important information about Alussa, FREYR, Pubco and the Business Combination.
