Transaction with HPX
On March 3, 2023, the Company completed the transaction with HPX Corp, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement entered into on July 5, 2022 by the Company, together with its subsidiaries, Emergência Participações, Ambipar Emergency Response and Ambipar Merger Sub. As a result, Emergência Participações became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ambipar Emergency Response.
Ambipar Emergency Response (AMBI) is classified as a foreign private issuer, emerging growth company and non-accelerated filer with shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE American).
The completion of the Transaction involved a capital contribution of R$909.8 million equivalent to US$174.7 million in AMBI, of which: (i) R$48.1 million equivalent to US$9.2 million from the HPX trust account , (ii) R$595.8 million equivalent to US$114.5 million from private investors in the PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) structure, (iii) capitalization of R$263.0 million equivalent to US$50.5 million loan that the Emergency had with the Company. As a result, the Company now holds a 70.8% stake in AMBI after the conclusion of the SPAC process.
Accounting impacts
a)    Stock listing expense
The Transaction is not within the scope of IFRS 3/CPC 15 - Business Combination since HPX was a special purpose entity for the acquisition of businesses and did not meet the definition of business by the standard, thus being accounted for in accordance with the standard IFRS 2/CPC 10 – Share-Based Payment. According to this rule, AMBI recognized a single non-cash expense of R$ 100.9 million equivalent to US$19.4 million as a listing expense (Listing Expenses), based on the difference between the value of the AMBI shares issued to HPX shareholders and the fair value of HPX's identifiable net assets. This expense represents the implicit incurred cost of listing AMBI on the NYSE American.

b)    Transaction costs
The Company incurred extraordinary expenses of R$18,913 referring to legal, financial, and listing advisors.
c)    Earn-out
As part of the Transaction, the Company is entitled to an additional 11,000,000 AMBI shares, to be issued in 2 tranches of 5,500,000 each in case certain objectives are achieved (“Earn-out”). The first tranche will be granted if the AMBI quotation exceeds US$17.0 per share during any 20 trading sessions out of 30 consecutive trading sessions. The second tranche will be granted if the AMBI quotation exceeds US$20.0 per share during any 20 trading sessions out of 30 consecutive trading sessions. If these objectives are not achieved by March 3, 2026, the Earn-out not awarded will be cancelled.
Earn-out is within the scope of IAS 32/IFRS 9 and was classified as a passive derivative financial instrument of AMBI. The subsequent measurement of fair value has been recognized in the equity transaction account in the Company's shareholders' equity. Earn out fair value is calculated according to a Monte Carlo simulation model at each measurement date, using typical inputs equity markets volatility, the price of AMBI shares and time to expiration. As the pricing inputs vary quarterly, so does the earn out fair value Company reorganization.
