Information regarding the executive officers and directors of each of the Reporting Persons is set forth in Annex A hereto.

 

 

 

(d)-(e) During the last five years, none of JNI, JBIC, JGC, JGC America, IHI or IHI America and, to the knowledge of JNI, JBIC, JGC, JGC America, IHI and IHI America, none of the persons listed as directors or executive officers of JNI, JBIC, JGC, JGC America, IHI or IHI America in Schedule A attached hereto has, (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

All shares reported herein were received by the applicable Reporting Person on May 2, 2022, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 13, 2021 (as amended, the "Merger Agreement", and the merger described therein, the "Merger"), by and among Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. (the predecessor to the Issuer prior to the Merger), Spring Valley Merger Sub, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, and NuScale Power, LLC ("NuScale LLC"). In connection with the Merger, the Issuer issued to JNI 19,285,070 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Issuer (the "Class B Shares") and the same number of Class B common units of NuScale LLC (the "Class B Units") in exchange for pre-existing equity that JNI held in NuScale LLC. As further described in Item 6, each Class B Share (together with a Class B Unit) is exchangeable for one Class A Share. The Class A Shares and Class B Shares are each entitled to one vote per share and vote together as a single class on all matters.

 

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction

 

The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference.

 

On March 30, 2021, as an indirect investment by JGC America, JNI acquired certain preferred units of NuScale LLC (the "JGC Purchase"). In connection with the JGC Purchase, NuScale LLC entered into a business collaboration agreement with Fluor Enterprises, Inc. ("Fluor") and JGC, pursuant to which NuScale LLC and Fluor granted JGC certain rights in the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning ("EPCC") of the 6-module power plant to be deployed at the Idaho National Laboratory as part of Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems' Carbon Free Power Project as well as future EPCC opportunities, subject to JGC, Fluor, and NuScale LLC's commercially reasonable efforts to mutually agree on reasonable pricing.

 

On June 1, 2021, as an indirect investment by IHI America, JNI acquired certain preferred units of NuScale LLC (the "IHI Purchase"). In connection with the IHI Purchase, NuScale LLC entered into a business collaboration agreement with Fluor and IHI, pursuant to which NuScale LLC guaranteed a certain value of scope of work to IHI, subject to NuScale LLC and IHI reaching agreement on pricing.

 

On April 4, 2022, as an indirect investment by JBIC for the purpose of supporting overseas business expansion of JGC and IHI, achieving the nuclear energy policies of the Japanese Government, and enhancing Japan-U.S. cooperation in the field of nuclear energy, JNI purchased 40,145,985 Series A preferred units of NuScale LLC from Fluor for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $110 million (the "JBIC Purchase"). These Series A preferred units and the preferred units purchased in the JGC Purchase and IHI Purchase were converted into 19,285,070 shares of Class B Shares and the same number of Class B Units in the Merger.

 

General

 

The Reporting Persons indirectly acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Person' review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer's business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer's securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

 

 

 

Subject to the terms of JNI LLCA, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors of the Issuer, and securityholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or other transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the common stock of the Issuer; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or distribution policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer's business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the board of directors of the Issuer. There can be no assurance, however, that any Reporting Person will propose such a transaction, that any proposed transaction would receive the requisite approvals from the respective governing bodies and unitholders, as applicable, or that any such transaction would be successfully implemented. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, as further described in Item 6, the Issuer is obligated to use good faith efforts to comply with certain environmental and social guidelines and, upon clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) with respect to the JBIC Purchase, JNI shall be entitled to nominate one director to the board of directors of the Issuer (which nomination Fluor will support).

 

Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

 

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

 

(a)-(b) While JNI currently only holds Class B Units and Class B Shares, as a result of the Exchange Right, described in further detail in Item 6, as of the effective time of the Merger, JNI and the other Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared beneficial ownership of 19,285,070 Class A Shares. As of the date of this filing, the Reporting Persons have the following direct and indirect beneficial ownership interests in the Class A Shares.

 

   Directly Owned   Indirectly Owned   Directly and Indirectly Owned 
   Number   % of Class   Number   % of Class   Number   % of Class 
JNI   19,285,070    8.7%   0    0%   19,285,070    8.7%
JBIC(1)   0    0%   19,285,070    8.7%   19,285,070    8.7%
JGC(2)   0    0%   19,285,070    8.7%   19,285,070    8.7%
JGC America(1)   0    0%   19,285,070    8.7%   19,285,070    8.7%
IHI(3)   0    0%   19,285,070    8.7%   19,285,070    8.7%
IHI America(1)   0    0%   19,285,070    8.7%   19,285,070    8.7%

 

(1)JBIC, JGC America, and IHI America collectively own 100% of the equity interests of JNI. Consequently, JBIC, JGC America, and IHI America may be deemed to indirectly possess shared voting power over, and therefore beneficially own, the 19,285,070 Class B Shares directly held by JNI, which such Class B Shares may be exchanged for Class A Shares.
(2)JGC is the sole shareholder of JGC America. Consequently, JGC may be deemed to indirectly possess shared voting power over, and therefore beneficially own, 19,285,070 Class B Shares directly held by JNI, which such Class B Shares may be exchanged for Class A Shares.
(3)IHI is the sole shareholder of IHI America. Consequently, IHI may be deemed to indirectly possess shared voting power over, and therefore beneficially own, 19,285,070 Class B Shares directly held by JNI, which such Class B Shares may be exchanged for Class A Shares.

 

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of any of the Class A Shares held by other Reporting Persons, and each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims such beneficial ownership.

 

(c) Other than pursuant to the Merger, JBIC Purchase, and the Voting Agreement described in Item 6 herein, no transactions in Class A Shares were effected by the Reporting Persons or the persons listed as directors or executive officers of JNI, JBIC, JGC, JGC America, IHI or IHI America in Schedule A attached hereto during the 60 day period ended May 12, 2022.

 

(d) Not applicable.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

 

 

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The information set forth, or incorporated by reference, in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons or the persons listed as directors or executive officers of JNI, JBIC, JGC, JGC America, IHI or IHI America in Schedule A attached hereto have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning the transfer or voting of such securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

 

Voting Agreement

 

On April 4, 2022, Fluor, NuScale, JNI and JBIC entered into that certain letter agreement regarding Board and Management Rights (the "Voting Agreement"), pursuant to which the Issuer is obligated to use good faith efforts to comply with certain environmental and social guidelines advocating for the prevention and minimization of impact on the environment and local communities and, subject to approval from CFIUS of the JBIC Purchase, JNI will be entitled to nominate one director to the board of directors of the Issuer (the "Director Nomination Right") and Fluor will be required to vote its equity interests in the Issuer in favor of electing such nominee upon approval by the Issuer's Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Voting Obligation"). As of the date of this Schedule 13D, such approval from CFIUS has not yet been obtained and accordingly, the Director Nomination Right and the Voting Obligation are not yet in effect.

 

JNI LLCA

 

On March 22, 2022, JNI, JGC America, IHI America and JBIC entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of JNI (the "JNI LLCA") for the purpose of investing in NuScale LLC. Pursuant to the JNI LLCA, any matter to be voted on by the members requires the unanimous approval of such members, and any matter to be voted on by the directors appointed by the members requires at least 1 vote from a director appointed by each member. Subject to the terms of the JNI LLCA, each member may cause JNI to purchase all of such member's membership interest in JNI in exchange for the transfer of Class B Units and Class B Shares attributable to such member and held by JNI back to such member ("Transfer of Investment"). Upon a proposed Transfer of Investment by a member, each of the other members has a certain right of first refusal to purchase all but not less than all of its pro-rata portion of the selling member's membership interest in JNI.

 

NuScale LLCA

 

At the effective time of the Merger on May 2, 2022 (the "Effective Time"), the existing Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of NuScale LLC was amended and restated as the Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of NuScale LLC (the "NuScale LLCA"), and in connection therewith, (1) each existing preferred unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was reclassified into Common Units of NuScale LLC and (2) immediately after such reclassification, each such Common Unit (including those created in the preceding reclassification) was reclassified into a fraction of Class B Units of NuScale LLC equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement). At the closing of the Merger, pre-existing equity interests held by JNI, Fluor, and the other equityholders of NuScale LLC (collectively, the "NuScale Equityholders") immediately prior to the Merger were re-classified into 178,396,711 Class B Units, and each NuScale Equityholder received a number of shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, noneconomic voting shares of Class B Shares equal to the number of Class B Units held by such NuScale Equityholder as a result of the Merger. Following the closing of the Merger, subject to the terms and conditions of the NuScale LLCA and the applicable exchange policy and other applicable organizational agreements, the holders of Class B Units shall be able to exchange (x) one Class B Unit and one Class B Share for (y) one Class A Share (the "Exchange Right").

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Voting Agreement, JNI LLCA, and NuScale LLCA do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, JNI LLCA, and NuScale LLCA, respectively, which are filed as Exhibit 99.2, Exhibit 99.3, and Exhibit 99.4, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.
