Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 12, 2021, CBRE Acquisition Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CBAH”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among CBAH, CBAH Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“First Merger Sub”), CBAH Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Second Merger Sub”), Altus Power America Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Altus Power Holdings”), APAM Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Altus Management Holdings”) and Altus Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Altus”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, CBAH will acquire Altus and CBAH will be renamed as “Altus Power, Inc.”

A special committee (the “Special Committee”) consisting solely of independent and disinterested members of the CBAH’s Board of Directors (the “CBAH Board”) unanimously determined that that the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are in the best interests of CBAH and its stockholders (other than CBRE Group Inc. or any of its affiliates, including CBRE Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), or any executive officer of CBAH) and recommended that the CBAH Board approve the Business Combination Agreement. Based on the Special Committee’s recommendation, the CBAH Board unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and recommended that CBAH’s stockholders approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and certain related proposals, in each case as further described in the Business Combination Agreement. The CBAH Board further determined that approval of the Business Combination Agreement is subject to a non-waivable condition that it is approved by a majority of the stockholders that are not affiliated with CBRE Group, Inc. or executive officers of the Company. The Special Committee and the Board received a fairness opinion from the Special Committee’s financial advisor.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated therein, First Merger Sub will merge with and into Altus, and the company surviving that merger will merge with and into Second Merger Sub and, as a result of such mergers, the holders of common stock of Altus will be entitled to receive, in the aggregate, $900 million of CBAH’s Class A common stock (valued at $10 per share). All issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Altus are currently held by Altus Power Holdings, and prior to the closing such shares would be distributed to holders of equity interests in Altus Power Holdings (including Altus Management Holdings) and Altus Management Holdings will distribute the shares it receives to the equityholders of Altus Management Holdings. In addition, at the closing, each share of preferred stock of Altus issued and outstanding immediately prior to such merger will be redeemed. Such redemption is expected to require approximately $275 million of cash assuming no additional preferred equity is issued prior to the closing. Altus is permitted to issue additional preferred stock subject to certain restrictions in the Business Combination Agreement.

Stockholders of CBAH will be asked to vote on the Business Combination Agreement (and certain related matters, including approval of the PubCo Charter (as defined below), issuance of CBAH’s Class A common stock in connection with the transactions and approval of an omnibus incentive plan and employee stock purchase plan) (collectively, the “CBAH Stockholder Meeting Proposals”) at a special stockholders meeting that will be held on a date to be announced. In addition to such approval (and the non-waivable condition that it is approved by a majority of the stockholders that are not affiliated with CBRE Group, Inc. or executive officers of CBAH), the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is subject to certain other conditions, including the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, the absence of any governmental order or regulation prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the shares of Class A common stock of CBAH to be issued in connection with the Business Combination having been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (or with the consent of Altus, the Nasdaq Stock Market) subject only to official notice of issuance thereof, the registration statement/prospectus on Form S-4 to be filed by CBAH having become effective, the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties contained in Business Combination Agreement (subject to certain materiality qualifiers) and the other party’s compliance with its covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement in all material respects. In addition, Altus is not obligated to close unless CBAH has at least $425 million of cash available upon the closing (taking into account funds in CBAH’s trust account net of any stockholder redemptions and the proceeds from the PIPE financing described below), before redemption of the Altus preferred stock described above and payment of transaction expenses.

The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of Altus and CBAH and its subsidiaries prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

CBAH is subject to customary restrictions on its, its affiliates’ and their respective representatives’ ability to initiate, solicit or engage in discussions or negotiations regarding alternative business combinations with CBAH, and the CBAH Board is obligated to recommend to the CBAH stockholders that they approve the Business Combination Agreement and certain related proposals; provided that the CBAH Board is entitled to withdraw, change or modify its recommendation in the event of a “Material Adverse Effect” or an “Intervening Event” (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), subject to compliance with certain specified conditions, including determining after consultation with counsel that a failure to make such a change would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law and giving Altus notice that it proposes to take any such action and engage in good faith negotiations with Altus to obviate the need for such action. Notwithstanding a change in recommendation by the CBAH Board, CBAH is still required to convene the special meeting of its stockholders as described above.


The Business Combination Agreement contains certain termination rights for CBAH and Altus, including the right of either party to terminate the agreement if the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement has not occurred by March 31, 2022 (subject to certain exceptions) or if CBAH has not obtained the required approvals from its stockholders.

At the closing of the Business Combination Agreement, the certificate of incorporation of CBAH will be amended and restated to be in the form attached to the Business Combination Agreement (the “PubCo Charter”), which will change the name of CBAH to “Altus Power, Inc.” (such company being herein referred to as “PubCo”) and will, among other things, provide that the shares of Class B common stock will convert into shares of Class A common stock over a seven year measurement period following the closing pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the PubCo Charter. The PubCo Charter caps the total number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued in such conversion to 8.5% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock on the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (including shares issued by CBAH to the Altus stockholders, shares issued by CBAH in the PIPE financing described below and shares issued by CBAH in its initial public offering less any shares redeemed by stockholders in connection with the closing); except that if there are more than $100 million of such redemptions (and accordingly, the Sponsor is required to fund more than $100 million pursuant to its backstop commitment as described below), the 8.5% cap in the foregoing calculation will be increased to 9.5%.

In addition, the PubCo Charter provides that for so long as any shares of PubCo’s Class B common stock are outstanding, the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall have, at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (or any other meeting at which directors are being elected to the Board), the exclusive right, voting separately as a class, to elect one director to the board of directors (the “Class B Director”).

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about CBAH or Altus. In particular, the representations and warranties contained in the Business Combination Agreement were made only for the purposes of such agreement as of the specific dates therein, and were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement. The representations and warranties contained in the Business Combination Agreement may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties thereto and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided in connection with the signing thereof. These confidential disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in such agreement may be subject to a standard of materiality provided for therein and have been used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties thereto, rather than establishing matters of fact. CBAH stockholders or investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Business Combination Agreement or any ancillary agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of CBAH or Altus.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

The Sponsor Support Agreement also provides Altus a direct enforcement right of CBAH’s and the Sponsor’s obligations under the applicable PIPE Subscription Agreement.

The shares of Altus common stock that are subject to the Altus Stockholders Support Agreement represent over a majority of the outstanding voting power of Altus common stock and are sufficient to obtain the requisite approvals needed from the Altus stockholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, the Altus Stockholders Support Agreement contains restrictions on the Altus Supporting Stockholders (a) transferring such shares of Altus common stock (subject to certain restrictions) and (b) soliciting or engaging in discussions or negotiations regarding alternative acquisition proposals.

Additional Information

In connection with the Proposed Transaction (as defined below), CBAH intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 that will include a proxy statement for the stockholders of CBAH that also constitutes a prospectus with respect to the shares of CBAH common stock to be offered and sold to the stockholders of Altus. CBAH urges investors, stockholders and other interested persons to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus as well as other documents filed with the SEC because these documents will contain important information about CBAH, Altus and the Proposed Transactions. After the registration statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement will be mailed to stockholders of CBAH as of a record date to be established for voting on the Proposed Transactions. Stockholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge by directing a request to: CBRE Acquisition Holdings, Inc., 2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1250, Dallas, TX 75201. The preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement, once available, can also be obtained, without charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).


Participants in the Solicitation

CBAH, Altus and their respective directors and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Proposed Transactions under the rules of the SEC. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed participants in the solicitation of the stockholders in connection with the potential transaction will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus when it is filed with the SEC. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of CBAH or Altus, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a definitive prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “continue”, “expect”, “estimate”, “may”, “plan”, “outlook”, “future” and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and may also relate to CBAH’s and Altus’s future prospects, developments and business strategies. In particular, such forward-looking statements include statements concerning the timing of the Merger, the business plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of CBAH once the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Proposed Transactions”) and change of name are complete (“New Altus”), and Altus’s estimated and future results of operations, business strategies, competitive position, industry environment and potential growth opportunities. These statements are based on CBAH’s or Altus’s management’s current expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside CBAH’s or Altus’s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the ability of CBAH and Altus to complete the Business Combination; (2) New Altus’s financial and business performance following the Business Combination, including financial projections and business metrics; (3) the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; (4) the anticipated costs associated with the Business Combination; (5) the impact of COVID-19 on Altus’s and New Altus’s business; (6) the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Proposed Transactions.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements can be found in CBAH’s current reports on Form 8-K, which are available, free of charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and will also be provided in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and CBAH’s proxy statement/prospectus when available. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and CBAH and Altus undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changes in expectations, future events or otherwise.


This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in CBAH and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in CBAH. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning CBAH and Altus, the Proposed Transactions or other matters and attributable to CBAH and Altus or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Related Information

Certain of the exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K references EBITDA and EBITDA margin, which are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning, and the definition of EBITDA used by Altus may be different from other, similarly named non-GAAP measures used by others. In addition, such financial information is unaudited and does not conform to SEC Regulation S-X and as a result such information may be presented differently in future filings by Altus with the SEC.
