INTRODUCTORY NOTE

Consummation of Business Combination

On February 2, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Environmental Impact Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“ENVI”), consummated the previously announced business combination with GreenLight Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GreenLight”), pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement, dated August 9, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), among ENVI, GreenLight and Honey Bee Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of ENVI (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into GreenLight, with GreenLight surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of ENVI (the “Merger” or “Business Combination”). In connection with the consummation of the Merger on the Closing Date, ENVI changed its name to GreenLight Biosciences Holdings, PBC (“GreenLight Holdings”) and became a public benefit corporation.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of capital stock of GreenLight (other than treasury shares and shares with respect to which appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) are properly exercised and not withdrawn) was exchanged for shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of GreenLight Holdings (“GreenLight Holdings Common Stock”), and outstanding GreenLight options and warrants to purchase shares of capital stock of GreenLight (whether vested or unvested) were converted into comparable options (the “Rollover Options”) and warrants (the “Assumed Warrants”) to purchase shares of GreenLight Holdings Common Stock, in each case, based on an implied GreenLight fully diluted equity value of $1.2 billion. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, all of the issued and outstanding shares of ENVI Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“ENVI Class A Common Stock”), and all of the issued and outstanding shares of ENVI Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“ENVI Class B Common Stock”), became shares of GreenLight Holdings Common Stock.

Consummation of PIPE Financing

In connection with the Business Combination, GreenLight Holdings completed the sale and issuance of 12,425,000 shares of GreenLight Holdings Common Stock in a private placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per share pursuant to subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) that had been entered into between GreenLight Holdings and certain institutional accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”) either concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement or subsequently in November 2021 (the “PIPE Financing”).

Proceeds of the Business Combination and PIPE Financing

GreenLight Holdings’ gross proceeds from the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing totaled approximately $136.4 million, which included approximately $12.1 million of funds held in GreenLight Holdings’ trust account (after giving effect to redemptions) and


approximately $124.3 million of proceeds from the PIPE Financing (the “Aggregate Closing PIPE Proceeds”), inclusive of $35.25 million previously advanced to GreenLight, as described in more detail in Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”). The gross proceeds do not reflect estimated aggregate transaction expenses and other costs related to the Business Combination, the PIPE Financing and other transactions of approximately $25.0 million.

Warrant Forfeiture

As described in ENVI’s Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated January 13, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), in connection with ENVI’s initial public offering, approximately 2,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) were purchased by HB Strategies, LLC (“HB Strategies”) and an aggregate of 750,000 warrants (the “Insider Warrants” and together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Private Warrants”) were issued to ENVI’s sponsor, CG Investments Inc. VI (the “Sponsor”) and certain of ENVI’s directors (together with HB Strategies and the Sponsor, the “Initial Stockholders”). Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Initial Stockholders and GreenLight entered into an agreement (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which HB Strategies and the Sponsor agreed that, if more than 25% of the shares of ENVI Class A Common Stock were redeemed pursuant to ENVI’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in effect prior to the Business Combination (the “Existing Charter”), then they would forfeit 25% of the warrants issued to the Initial Stockholders. At the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Letter Agreement, HB Strategies and the Sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 687,500 Private Placement Warrants and Insider Warrants.

Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Indemnification Agreements

On the Closing Date, GreenLight Holdings entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors. These indemnification agreements require GreenLight Holdings to, among other things, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the director for any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or executive officer of GreenLight Holdings or, while a director, is or was serving at the request of GreenLight Holdings as a director, executive officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, executive officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, executive officer, employee or agent.

The right to indemnification covers all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by such person in connection with any such proceeding.


An indemnitee also has the right to be reimbursed for the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred in defending or otherwise participating in a proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that if required by law, any such reimbursement will be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the indemnitee to repay all amounts advanced if it should be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for the expenses.

Except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, GreenLight Holdings will indemnify an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

The foregoing description of the indemnification agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of indemnification agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.11 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Accordingly, GreenLight Holdings is providing the information below that would be included in a Form 10 if it were to file a Form 10.

the addition of a public benefit purpose to the New Charter;

 

   

the inapplicability to GreenLight Holdings, as a public benefit corporation, of the “Revlon” doctrine, or the Delaware common law doctrine that imposes on directors the traditional duty to maximize short-term stockholder value in the context of transactions implicating a sale of control;

 

   

the requirement that a stockholder wishing to enforce the public benefit balancing requirement of GreenLight Holdings, as a public benefit corporation whose shares are traded on a national securities exchange, must hold, collectively, the lesser of 2% of GreenLight Holdings’ outstanding shares or shares with a market value of at least $2 million;

 

   

an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 120 million to 500 million and an increase in the number of authorized shares of undesignated preferred stock from 1 million to 10 million;

 

   

a requirement to obtain the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of GreenLight Holdings to amend or repeal certain provisions of the New Charter, rather than a simple majority;

 

   

a requirement that special meeting of stockholders may only be called by a resolution of the Board;

 

   

changes to the procedures for the proper and timely delivery of stockholder proposals to be voted upon at stockholder meetings and stockholder nominations of directors, including the timing for delivery of notice of the proposal or nomination, expansion of the information to be provided in such notice, and a requirement to update such notice;

 

   

the requirement that all actions required or permitted to be taken by stockholders must be effected pursuant to a duly called meeting and not by written consent; and

 

   

the addition of Article X, Business Combination Lock-Up, in the Bylaws applicable to certain stockholders and option holders of GreenLight who received shares, or options to purchase shares, as applicable, of GreenLight Holdings Common Stock pursuant to the Business Combination.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the New Charter and New Bylaws, which are attached as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.


Item 4.01.

Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a)

Change in independent registered public accounting firm

WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm of ENVI prior to the completion of the Business Combination. Accordingly, Withum was informed that the Board approved Withum’s dismissal as GreenLight Holdings’ independent registered public accounting firm once it completes the audit of ENVI’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

On February 7, 2022, the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as GreenLight Holdings’ principal independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of GreenLight Holdings for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Neither the report of Withum on ENVI’s balance sheet as of January 19, 2021 nor the report of Withum on ENVI’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, the statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from July 2, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, other than the restatement of ENVI’s balance sheet and the emphasis of matter regarding ENVI’s ability to continue as a going concern as of January 19, 2021.

During the period from July 2, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through February 6, 2022, there were no “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) between ENVI and Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Withum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on ENVI’s financial statements.

During the period from July 2, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through February 6, 2022, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act), other than the occurrence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 as a result of ENVI’s disclosure controls not being effective for such quarterly periods.

GreenLight Holdings has provided Withum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures in this Item 4.01(a) and has requested that Withum furnish GreenLight Holdings with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by GreenLight Holdings set forth above. A copy of Withum’s letter, dated February 7, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.

 

(b)

Disclosures regarding the new independent auditor

As described above, on February 7, 2022, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Deloitte as GreenLight Holdings’ principal independent registered public accounting firm. Deloitte served as the independent registered public accounting firm of GreenLight prior to the Business Combination. During the period from July 2, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through February 6, 2022,


GreenLight Holdings did not consult with Deloitte with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on GreenLight Holdings’ financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to GreenLight Holdings that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by GreenLight Holdings in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event (as defined above).
