Founder Share Conversion
As previously announced, on January 10, 2024, Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in lieu of an annual general meeting at which the Company’s shareholders approved, among other things, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as amended, the “Articles”) to change certain provisions which restricted the Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B ordinary shares”) from converting to Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A ordinary shares”) prior to the consummation of an initial business combination (the “Conversion Amendment Proposal”). In connection with the approval of the Conversion Amendment Proposal, on January 25, 2024, Spring Valley Acquisition Sponsor II, LLC (the “Sponsor”), voluntarily elected to convert 7,546,666 of its Class B ordinary shares to Class A ordinary shares, and the independent directors of the Company voluntarily elected to convert an aggregate of 120,000 Class B ordinary shares to Class A ordinary shares, in each case, on a one-for-one basis in accordance with the Articles (such conversions collectively, the “Founder Share Conversion,” and the Class A ordinary shares issued upon such conversion, the “Converted Class A Shares”).
The Sponsor and the independent directors waived any right to receive funds from the trust account established by the Company in connection with its initial public offering that was consummated on October 17, 2022 (the “Trust Account”) with respect to any Converted Class A Shares and no additional funds were deposited into the Trust Account in respect of any such Converted Class A Shares. The Converted Class A Shares will remain subject to the existing transfer restrictions on the Class B ordinary shares following such conversions.
After giving effect to the Founder Share Conversion, the number and class of shares of the Company that are issued and outstanding consist of:
· | 22,304,432 Class A ordinary shares (constituted by 14,637,766 publicly-held Class A ordinary shares, 7,546,666 Sponsor-held Converted Class A Shares, and 120,000 director-held Converted Class A Shares); and |
· | one Sponsor-held Class B ordinary share. |
