The amounts and percentages presented above are based only on the Class A Shares. |
This Amendment No. 8 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on September 2, 2021, as amended on December 10, 2021, February 14, 2022, February 17, 2022, February 23, 2022, March 25, 2022, September 26, 2022 and as further amended on September 30, 2022 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Original Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the same meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 2. | Identity and Background |
The response set forth in Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting Schedules I, II-A and II-B in their entirety and replacing them with Schedules I, II-A and II-B attached.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
This Amendment amends Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D to replace the last sentence of the first paragraph under “Shareholders Agreement” with the following:
GSW designated Mr. Michael Bruun to serve on the Renew Global Board. Mr. Michael Bruun will resign as director of the Renew Global Board following completion of the Fourth Sale and Purchase (as defined below).
In addition, this Amendment amends Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D to delete the paragraphs after the sixth paragraph under “Sales of Shares” in their entirety and replace them with the following:
On September 30, 2022, pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated September 23, 2022, by and between CPPIB and GSW (the “Third Sale and Purchase Agreement”), GSW sold 11,633,475 Class A Depositary Receipts and 49,904,986 Class C Depositary Receipts representing 11,633,475 Class A Shares and 49,904,986 Class C Shares, respectively, to CPPIB in a privately negotiated transaction (the “Third Sale and Purchase”) at a purchase price of $6.50 per Class A Depositary Receipt and $6.50 per Class C Depositary Receipt, respectively. Pursuant to the Third Sale and Purchase Agreement, GSW agreed not to transfer any shares in the capital of the Issuer, depositary receipts or Identified Rights (as defined in the A&R Articles) in respect of such shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such shares, depository receipts or Identified Rights (as defined in the A&R Articles) (the “Securities”) for a period of six months from the completion of the Third Sale and Purchase (the “Standstill Period”), subject to certain exceptions set out in the Third Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Standstill”). In addition, GSW agreed that for a period of three months from the expiration of the Standstill Period, subject to certain exceptions set out in the Third Sale and Purchase Agreement, any transfers by GSW of any Securities will be subject to CPPIB’s right of first refusal pursuant to the terms of the Third Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Right of First Refusal”).
Following the Shelf Sales, the First Sale and Purchase, the Second Sale and Purchase and the Third Sale and Purchase described above, GSW owned one Class A Share and had beneficial ownership of 55,958,780 Class C Shares, which may be re-designated as Class A Shares, as described under “The Class C Shares” above.
Pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated March 2, 2023, by and between CPPIB and GSW (the “Fourth Sale and Purchase Agreement”), GSW has agreed to sell, and CPPIB has agreed to purchase, 55,958,780 Class C Depositary Receipts representing 55,958,780 Class C Shares in a privately negotiated transaction (the “Fourth Sale and Purchase”) at a purchase price of $4.80 per Class C Depositary Receipt. The GS Reporting Persons do not anticipate that the Class C Shares represented by the Class C Depositary Receipts that GSW has agreed to sell, and CPPIB has agreed to purchase, pursuant to the Fourth Sale and Purchase Agreement will be automatically re-designated as Class A Shares upon the transfer to CPPIB. The Fourth Sale and Purchase Agreement contains customary warranties and is conditioned upon confirmation by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as the depositary, that it has received the documents and information from GSW necessary to amend the registers of holders of Class C Depositary Receipts to reflect the transfer contemplated thereunder. CPPIB and GSW agreed that the Fourth Sale and Purchase, as well as any disposal by GSW of the single Class A Share held by GSW, shall not be subject to the Standstill and the Right of First Refusal under the Third Sale and Purchase Agreement.
Following completion of the Fourth Sale and Purchase described above, GSW will cease to beneficially own any Class C Shares and will retain one Class A Share.
References to and descriptions of the Business Combination Agreement, Registration Rights, Coordination and Put Option Agreement, Shareholders Agreement, the First Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Second Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Third Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Fourth Sale and Purchase Agreement set forth above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the such agreements, which have been filed as Exhibits hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
This Amendment amends Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D to delete the first, second and third paragraphs in their entirety and replace them with the following:
Following completion of the Fourth Sale and Purchase described in Item 4 above, none of the GS Reporting Persons will have beneficial ownership of Class C Shares.
See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Amendment for the aggregate number of Class A Shares and the percentage of Class A Shares that will be beneficially owned by each of the GS Reporting Persons following completion of the Fourth Sale and Purchase described in Item 4 above. See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Amendment for the number of Class A Shares as to which each GS Reporting Person will have the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition following completion of the Fourth Sale and Purchase described in Item 4 above.
Following completion of the Fourth Sale and Purchase described in Item 4 above none of the GS Reporting Persons will have beneficial ownership of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of the Issuer.

For the period commencing on the Completion Date and ending on the date which is the third anniversary of the Completion Date (the Claim Deadline), the Seller shall retain an aggregate amount of cash and/or cash equivalents in USD equal to the Net Amount; provided that, if a bona-fide Tax Warranty Claim is formally commenced by the Buyer against the Seller prior to the Claim Deadline but has not been resolved, satisfied, settled or withdrawn prior to the Claim Deadline, the Seller shall solely with respect to such Tax Warranty Claim, continue to retain an aggregate amount of cash and/or cash equivalents in USD equal to the amount subject to such Tax Warranty Claim (provided such amount shall not exceed the Net Amount) until such Tax Warranty Claim is resolved, settled, satisfied or withdrawn. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Seller may, at its discretion and at its sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, any and all premiums, broker commissions and related attorney fees and expenses), obtain an insurance policy, the terms of which shall be approved by the Buyer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, denied or delayed) (the Insurance Policy). The Insurance Policy shall (1) name (i) the Seller, (ii) the Buyer and (iii) such other persons or entities, being designees of the Buyer, as acceptable to the insurer(s), in each case as an insured party, (2) provide that, until the Claim Deadline, the Buyer and its designees shall have priority over the Seller in respect of any recovery under the Insurance Policy and that the Seller shall not have the right to receive any recovery unless and until all the claims made by the Buyer or its designees under the Insurance Policy prior to the Claim Deadline have been resolved, satisfied, settled or withdrawn, and (3) have a term that ends no earlier than the Claim Deadline. In the event that the Seller obtains the Insurance Policy, then, notwithstanding the forgoing, (a) the Net Amount (and therefore the amount of cash and/or cash equivalents required to be retained pursuant to this Clause 6.6) shall be reduced by the amount equal to the policy limit of the Insurance Policy less any deductible, retention, exclusion or other limitation that would be subtracted from or decrease the amount recoverable by the Buyer under the Insurance Policy, (b) the Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to recover under the Insurance Policy in respect of any Tax Warranty Claim and in addition, to first recover any Tax Warranty Claim under the Insurance Policy, and (c) if the Buyer is unable to recover in full the relevant amount under the Insurance Policy, the Buyer’s right to assert a Tax Warranty Claim against the Seller shall not be affected or prejudiced by the availability of the Insurance Policy, except that the Seller shall be responsible only for the portion of any Tax Warranty Claim in excess of the amount actually recovered by the Buyer under the Insurance Policy in respect of such Tax Warranty Claim. If the Seller has made payment in respect of any Tax Warranty Claim and the Buyer subsequently recovers under the Insurance Policy in respect of such claim, the Buyer shall promptly refund to the Seller the lesser of the amount recovered (net of cost and applicable taxes, incurred in connection with such receipt) under the Insurance Policy and the amount paid by the Seller. |
