## Overview

ClimateRock is a blank check company formed to complete an initial business combination rather than operate a standalone commercial business. It was organized in the Cayman Islands and is focused on acquiring a target in environmental protection, renewable energy, climate change, or related industries.

## Products & services

• Blank check / SPAC structure for a future business combination
• Public equity capital raised through the IPO trust account
• Search, diligence, and transaction execution for a target acquisition
• Potential post-combination financing support via committed equity and notes

- **SPAC formation and capital pool** (40%) — Public-company capital raised in the IPO and held for a future acquisition.
- **Business combination execution** (35%) — Structuring, negotiating, and closing the initial merger or acquisition.
- **Target sourcing and due diligence** (15%) — Identifying and evaluating climate-related operating businesses for combination.
- **Post-combination financing support** (10%) — Committed equity financing, convertible notes, and warrants tied to the deal.

## Customers

ClimateRock does not sell products or services to operating customers today; its economic counterparties are investors, sponsors, lenders, and the target company it seeks to acquire. The intended end customer base after a successful business combination would be the acquired operating business's customers in climate and energy-related markets.

- **Public investors** (primary) — Buy IPO units and secondary shares to gain exposure to a future deal and redemption optionality.
- **Sponsor and related parties** (primary) — Provide administrative support, working capital loans, and transaction sourcing services.
- **Institutional financing investors** (secondary) — Provide future equity financing, convertible notes, and warrants linked to the business combination.
- **Target company owners** (primary) — Seek a public listing, capital access, and a merger partner for their operating business.

- Public shareholders who provide IPO capital and trade the SPAC units
- Sponsor and affiliates that support administration and transaction sourcing
- Institutional investors providing PIPE-style equity or convertible financing
- Target operating companies seeking a public listing and growth capital
- Post-combination end customers of the acquired climate or energy business

## Geography

ClimateRock is incorporated in the Cayman Islands but operates as a U.S.-listed blank check company, so its geography is driven more by capital markets and deal sourcing than by operating assets. The company states it is not limited to any particular region for its acquisition search, though it focuses on climate-related opportunities. Its future geographic exposure will depend on the location of the acquired business.

- Incorporated in the Cayman Islands
- U.S. public-market listing and investor base
- No operating revenue geography yet because no business combination has closed
- Deal sourcing is global and not limited to one region
- Future exposure will follow the acquired climate business

## Strategy

ClimateRock's strategy is to complete an initial business combination with an operating company in environmental protection, renewable energy, or climate change-related industries. It is targeting businesses with established operating models, strong management, realigned capital structures, and a clear path to profitable long-term growth.

- **Close the GreenRock business combination** (short-term) — The company has no operating revenue until a transaction closes, so execution is existential.
- **Secure post-combination financing** (short-term) — Committed equity and convertible funding can strengthen the target's balance sheet after closing.
- **Source a climate-aligned operating business** (medium-term) — The target must fit the company's thematic mandate and support long-term value creation.

- Complete the initial business combination
- Focus on climate, renewable energy, and environmental protection
- Target established businesses with positive cash flow prospects
- Use committed financing to support the post-deal capital structure
- Build a public-company platform for the acquired business

## Risks

ClimateRock's core risk is that it may fail to complete a business combination, which would leave it without operating revenue and with ongoing public-company costs. It also faces execution, financing, and control risks typical of SPACs, including reliance on related-party services, transaction approvals, and the need to maintain effective internal controls.

- **Failure to complete an initial business combination** [critical] — The company has no operating business today, so value depends on closing a transaction.
- **Financing and dilution risk from committed capital raises** [high] — Future equity, notes, and warrants can be necessary to fund the deal but may dilute shareholders.
- **Internal control and reporting risk** [high] — Management disclosed the importance of effective controls and the possibility of material weaknesses.
- **Related-party dependence** [medium] — Administrative and transaction support involve sponsor and affiliate relationships that can create conflicts.

- No operating revenue until a business combination closes
- Deal failure would leave the company with limited value creation options
- Dependence on sponsor, affiliates, and external financing sources
- Internal control weaknesses could impair reporting and listing compliance
- Public-company and transaction costs continue before any operating business exists

## Accounting

The company currently records no operating revenue and instead recognizes nonoperating income from interest or dividend income on trust account balances. Key accounting judgments center on redemption-classification, fair value measurement of warrants and convertible instruments, and estimates around transaction-related costs and related-party fees.

- **Ordinary shares subject to redemption** — Affects balance sheet equity and per-share presentation
- **Fair value of warrants and convertible notes** — Can create noncash gains or losses and volatility in earnings
- **Trust account income recognition** — Drives nonoperating income before any operating business exists
- **Transaction and related-party fees** — Increase pre-combination expenses and reduce net income

- No operating revenue until the business combination closes
- Trust account income affects nonoperating results, not core operations
- Ordinary shares subject to redemption require careful equity/liability classification
- Warrants and convertible notes may require fair value measurement
- Related-party service fees and transaction costs affect pre-combination losses
