Forward-Looking Statements This Presentation may contain certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding Altus Power's and it's management teams' expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. The words "anticipate", "believe", "budget", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "intends", "may", "might", "plan", "possible", "potential", "predict", "project", "should", "will", "would" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on SPAC's and Altus Power's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on SPAC or Altus Power or any successor entity. There can be no assurance that the future developments affecting SPAC or Altus Power or any successor entity will be those that they have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond SPAC's and Altus Power's control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Trademarks All rights to the trademarks, copyrights, logos and other intellectual property listed herein belong to their respective owners and SPAC's and Altus Power's uses thereof do not imply an affiliation with, or endorsement by the owners of such trademarks, copyrights, logos and other intellectual property. Solely for convenience, trademarks and trade names referred to in this Presentation may appear with the ® or ™ symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that such names and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of SPAC or Altus Power. Industry and Market Data In this Presentation, SPAC and Altus Power rely on and refer to publicly available information and statistics regarding market participants in the sectors in which Altus Power competes and other industry data. Any comparison of Altus Power to the industry or to any of its competitors is based on this publicly available information and statistics and such comparisons assume the reliability of the information available to SPAC and Altus Power. SPAC and Altus Power obtained this information and these statistics from third-party sources, including reports by market research firms and company filings. While SPAC and Altus Power believe such third-party information is reliable, there can be no assurances as to the accuracy or completeness of the indicated information. Neither SPAC nor Altus Power has independently verified the information provided by the third party sources. Accordingly, none of SPAC nor Altus Power nor any of their respective affiliates or advisors makes any representations as to the accuracy or completeness of these data.

Disclaimer Private Placement The securities to which this Presentation relates have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. This Presentation relates to securities that are intended to be offered in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable laws. These exemptions apply to offers and sales of securities that do not involve a public offering. The securities have not been approved or recommended by any federal, state or foreign securities authorities, nor have any of these authorities passed upon the merits of this Transaction or determined that this Presentation is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Financial Information The financial information contained in this Presentation has been taken from or prepared based on the historical financial statements of Altus Power for the periods presented. An audit of these financial statements is in process. Accordingly, such financial information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in any registration statement to be filed with the SEC by SPAC in connection with the Transaction, and such new information, adjustments and/or presentation may be material. This Presentation contains certain estimated preliminary financial results and key operating metrics. This information is preliminary and subject to change. As such, the actual results may differ from the estimated preliminary results presented here. This Presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures. Altus Power believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Altus Power's financial condition and results of operations. Altus Power's management uses certain of these non-GAAP measures to compare Altus Power's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. These non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Altus Power also believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Altus Power. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, Altus Power's non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. Use of Projections This Presentation also contains certain financial forecasts. Neither SPAC's nor Altus Power's independent auditors have studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, have not expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. In this Presentation, certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been provided for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside of SPAC's and Altus Power's control. While all financial projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, SPAC and Altus Power believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of future performance of the combined company after the Transaction or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Participation in Solicitation SPAC and Altus Power and their respective directors and executive officers, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of SPAC's shareholders in connection with the proposed business combination. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the proposed business combination in SPAC's filings with the SEC, including SPAC's registration statement on Form S-1, which was originally filed with the SEC on December 7, 2020, and its most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Investors and security holders of SPAC and Altus Power are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents that will be filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety when they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed business combination. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement and other documents containing important information about SPAC and Altus Power through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Sources and Uses ($mm)1 Transaction Overview Transaction Summary Pro Forma Valuation1 Pro Forma Ownership3 Assumes no redemptions and full repayment of the Altus Power Pref. As of December 31, 2020, pro forma debt of $393mm, cash balance of $38mm and NCI estimate of $33mm. Pro forma cash balance includes the $38mm and $343mm of cash to balance sheet. Represents ownership at close assuming no redemptions and full repayment of the Altus Power Pref. Due to SAIL construct, ownership at transaction close does not reflect future CBRE ownership, if and when earned. Does not reflect the impact of the outstanding warrants, which will not be exercisable at transaction close. The Altus Power Pref. is a non-convertible preferred security with a November 2024 redemption date and an 8% dividend rate. In the event that the total proceeds from cash-in-trust (net of redemptions) and PIPE are less than $678 million, the Company intends to repay the Altus Power Pref. in full with a mix of cash on hand and a new promissory note provided by Blackstone or a third party on economic terms no less favorable to the Company than the current security. 2 2 1 2 $403mm in cash-in-trust and $275mm PIPE $343mm cash to balance sheet Pre-money equity valuation of $900mm Significant alignment amongst all shareholders: Existing shareholders rolling 100% of common equity; Blackstone and Management are committing to invest an additional $23MM in the PIPE CBRE SAILSM structure creates further alignment; economics are earned over time as the company grows (unlike traditional SPAC structures where sponsor receives economics upfront) CBRE has provided a commitment to backstop up to $150mm of SPAC redemptions at the same terms as the PIPE Transaction expected to close in Q4 2021 4

Key Risks Unless the context otherwise suggests, all references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business and operations of CBRE Acquisition Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “SPAC”) following the potential business combination with Altus Power, Inc. (“Altus Power”) (the “Transaction”). The risks presented below are certain of the general risks related to the business of the Company, and such list is not exhaustive. The list below is qualified in its entirety by disclosures contained in future documents filed or furnished by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the documents filed or furnished in connection with the Transaction. The risks presented in such filings will be consistent with those that would be required for a public company in its SEC filings, including with respect to the business and securities of the Company and the Transaction, and may differ significantly from and be more extensive than those presented below. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks that we currently do not know about or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition or results of operations. You should review the investor presentation and perform your own due diligence prior to making an investment in the Company. Business and Operational Risks Our growth strategy depends on the widespread adoption of solar power technology. If we cannot compete successfully against other solar and energy companies, we may not be successful in developing our operations and our business may suffer. With respect to providing electricity on a price-competitive basis, solar systems face competition from traditional regulated electric utilities, from less-regulated third party energy service providers and from new renewable energy companies. A material reduction in the retail price of traditional utility-generated electricity or electricity from other sources could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Due to the limited number of suppliers in our industry, the acquisition of any of these suppliers by a competitor or any shortage, delay, quality issues, price change, imposition of tariffs or duties or other limitation in our ability to obtain components or technologies we use could result in adverse effects. Although our business has benefited from the declining cost of solar panels, our financial results may be harmed now that the cost of solar panels has stabilized and could increase in the future, due to increases in the cost of solar panels and tariffs on imported solar panels imposed by the U.S. government. Our market is characterized by rapid technological change, which requires us to continue to develop new products and product innovations. Any delays in such development could adversely affect market adoption of our products and our financial results. Developments in alternative technologies may materially adversely affect demand for our offerings. The operation and maintenance of our facilities are subject to many operational risks, the consequences of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could suffer if we do not proceed with projects under development or are unable to complete the construction of, or capital improvements to, facilities on schedule or within budget. We face risks related to project siting, financing, construction, permitting, governmental approvals and the negotiation of project development agreements that may impede their development and operating activities. Our business is subject to risks associated with construction, cost overruns and delays, and other contingencies that may arise in the course of completing installations, and such risks may increase in the future as we expand the scope of such services with other parties. Our relationship with CBRE is new and developing and may not result in profitable long-term contracts with their referred clients. Our expected growth from referrals from CBRE and Blackstone may not materialize as we projected. We may not be able to effectively manage our growth. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of future acquisitions, and integration of these future acquisitions which may disrupt our business and management. Our business is concentrated in certain markets, putting us at risk of region-specific disruptions. Our growth depends in part on the success of our relationships with third parties. We have incurred operating losses before income taxes and may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability in the future.


Slide 46

Key Risks (cont’d) We are not currently regulated as an electric utility under applicable law in the jurisdictions in which we operate, but we may be subject to regulation as an electric utility in the future. Failure to hire and retain a sufficient number of employees and service providers in key functions would constrain our growth and our ability to timely complete customers’ projects and successfully manage customer accounts. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected by work strikes or stoppages and increasing personnel costs. If we are unable to retain and recruit qualified technicians and advisors, or if our board of directors, key executives, key employees or consultants discontinue their employment or consulting relationship with us, it may delay our development efforts or otherwise harm our business. The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members and officers. We may be materially adversely affected by negative publicity. Problems with product quality or performance may cause us to incur warranty expenses, damage our market reputation and prevent us from maintaining or increasing our market share. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects can be materially adversely affected by weather conditions, including, but not limited to, the impact of severe weather. Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could cause our results of operations for a particular period to fall below expectations, resulting in a decline in the price of our common stock. Our results of operations have been and will continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the duration and extent to which it will impact our results of operations remains uncertain. Adverse economic conditions may have negative consequences on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Threats of terrorism and catastrophic events that could result from terrorism, cyberattacks or individuals and/or groups attempting to disrupt our business, or the businesses of third parties, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Our ability to obtain insurance and the terms of any available insurance coverage could be materially adversely affected by international, national, state or local events and company-specific events, as well as the financial condition of insurers. We may need to raise additional funds and these funds may not be available when needed. Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting and other business practices, and of board-level oversight, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent and detect fraud and other improprieties. Consequently, investors could lose confidence in our financial reporting, and this may decrease the trading price of our stock. We may have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we do have and are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, this may result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations. As a privately-held company, we were not required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting in a manner that meets the standards of publicly traded companies required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our historical financial results may not be indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been if we were a public company. Our reported financial results may be affected, and comparability of our financial results with other companies in our industry may be impacted, by changes in the accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Litigation and Regulatory Risks Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected by the extensive regulation of our business. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected as a result of new or revised laws, regulations, interpretations or ballot or regulatory initiatives.


Slide 47

Key Risks (cont’d) Any reductions or modifications to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives or policies that support solar energy, including, but not limited to, tax laws, policies and incentives, RPS or feed-in-tariffs, or the imposition of additional taxes or other assessments on solar energy, could result in, among other items, the lack of a satisfactory market for the development and/or financing of new solar energy projects, our abandoning the development of solar energy projects, a loss of our investments in solar energy projects and reduced project returns, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Net energy metering and related policies to offer competitive pricing to our customers in our current markets, and changes to net energy metering policies may significantly reduce demand for electricity from our solar energy systems. Our business depends in part on the regulatory treatment of third-party-owned solar energy systems. Existing electric utility industry regulations, and changes to regulations, may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar energy offerings that may significantly reduce demand for our solar energy offerings. Regulatory decisions that are important to us may be materially adversely affected by political, regulatory and economic factors. Compliance with occupational safety and health requirements and best practices can be costly, and noncompliance with such requirements may result in potentially significant monetary penalties, operational delays and adverse publicity. A failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to our interactions with current or prospective customers could result in negative publicity, claims, investigations and litigation, and adversely affect our financial performance. We have previously been, and may in the future be, named in legal proceedings, become involved in regulatory inquiries or be subject to litigation in the future, all of which are costly, distracting to our core business and could result in an unfavorable outcome or a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or the trading price for our securities. We may be subject to claims arising from the operations of our various businesses for periods prior to the dates we acquired them. Product liability claims against us could result in adverse publicity and potentially significant monetary damages. Changes in tax laws, guidance or policies, including but not limited to changes in corporate income tax rates, as well as judgments and estimates used in the determination of tax-related asset and liability amounts, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Intellectual Property and Data Privacy Risks If we are unsuccessful in developing and maintaining our proprietary technology, including our Gaia software, our ability to attract and retain solar partners could be impaired, our competitive position could be harmed and our revenue could be reduced. Our business may be harmed if we fail to properly protect our intellectual property, and we may also be required to defend against claims or indemnify others against claims that our intellectual property infringes on the intellectual property rights of third parties. We use open source software, which may require that we release the source code of certain software subject to open source licenses or subject us to possible litigation or other actions that could adversely affect our business. Failure to comply with the terms of underlying open source software licenses could restrict our ability to provide our offerings. If we experience a significant disruption in our information technology systems, fail to implement new systems and software successfully or if we experience cyber security incidents or have a deficiency in cybersecurity, our business could be adversely affected. Any security breach or unauthorized disclosure or theft of personal information we gather, store and use, or other hacking and phishing attacks on our systems, could harm our reputation, subject us to claims or litigation and have an adverse impact on our business. Our business is subject to complex and evolving laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, increased cost of operations or otherwise harm our business. Risks Relating to Projections We may not successfully implement our business model. Certain estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate.


Slide 48

Key Risks (cont’d) Our projections are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties, including assumptions regarding future legislation and changes in regulations, both inside and outside of the U.S. As a result, our projected revenues, market share, expenses and profitability may differ materially from our expectations. Risks Relating to the Transaction Uncertainties about the Transaction during the pre-closing period may cause third parties to delay or defer decisions concerning Altus or its subsidiaries or seek to change existing arrangements. Risks Relating to Our Financial Statements Our warrants are expected to be accounted for as derivative liabilities and changes in fair value will be reported in earnings for each period reported, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities Concentration of ownership among existing executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions. Our stock price will be volatile, and you may not be able to sell shares at or above the price at closing. Anti-takeover provisions contained in our governing documents and applicable laws could impair a takeover attempt. Warrants will become exercisable for our common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders. The stakeholder aligned initial listing ("SAIL") structure of the Company could result in a substantial number of shares being issued to the Company's sponsor, which could cause significant dilution to a potential investor. As an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, we will utilize certain modified disclosure requirements, and we cannot be certain if these reduced requirements will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
