Business Wire
OPAL Fuels Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPAL), a vertically
integrated leader in the capture and conversion of biomethane into
low carbon intensity renewable electricity and renewable natural
gas (RNG), announced that its ultimate controlling shareholder,
Fortistar LLC (“Fortistar”), has exchanged 71.5 million shares of
Class D common stock of the Company held by it, each of which is
entitled to five votes per share on all matters on which
stockholders generally are entitled to vote, for an equal number of
shares of newly issued Class B common stock of the Company, each of
which is entitled to one vote on such matters. This transaction has
no effect on the economic interest in the Company held by
Fortistar.
“With Fortistar reducing a significant portion of its voting
control, the Company anticipates that its publicly traded Class A
common stock will become eligible for inclusion in certain stock
market indices, on which many broad-based mutual funds and
exchange-trade index funds are based,” said Mark Comora, the
Company’s Chairman.
Note that the Company cannot ensure that the Company’s Class A
common stock will be included in any stock market indices as a
result of this exchange, which is out of the Company’s control, or
that, if its stock is included, that it will have any effect on the
price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock.
About OPAL Fuels Inc.

in the marketing and distribution of RNG to heavy duty trucking and
other hard to de-carbonize industrial sectors. RNG is chemically

decaying organic waste as opposed to natural gas which is a fossil
fuel pumped from the ground. To learn more about OPAL Fuels and how
