Stockholders: You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of stockholders of CIIG Merger Corp., which we refer to as we, us, our, or CIIG, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on March 19, 2021, at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CIIC2021SM. At the special meeting of stockholders, our stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal, which we refer to as the Business Combination Proposal, to approve and adopt the business combination agreement, dated November 18, 2020 (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the Business Combination Agreement), by and among CIIG, Arrival S.à r.l. (Arrival), ARSNL Merger Sub Inc. (Merger Sub), and Arrival Group (Holdco) and the Business Combination (as defined below) contemplated thereby. Holdco is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Arrival and Merger Sub is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco. Pursuant to the Business Combination, (i) the existing ordinary and preferred shareholders of Arrival have each concurrently entered into separate exchange agreements (the Exchange Agreements) to contribute their respective equity interests in Arrival to Holdco in exchange for Holdco Ordinary Shares (as defined below) (the Exchanges), which Arrival shares are deemed to have a value of approximately US $5.3 billion (the Aggregate Exchange Consideration), and (ii) following the Exchanges, CIIG will merge with and into Merger Sub and all shares of CIIG common stock will be exchanged for Holdco Ordinary Shares (the Merger). Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Arrival and CIIG will become direct wholly- owned subsidiaries of Holdco. Holdco is expected to issue an aggregate of 606,178,750 Holdco Ordinary Shares upon consummation of the Exchanges and the Merger. In connection with the Business Combination, CIIG has obtained commitments from institutional investors (each a Subscriber) to purchase 40,000,000 shares of CIIG Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share in a private placement, which will be converted into Holdco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Closing (the PIPE Shares). CIIGs class A common stock and CIIGs units and warrants are currently listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) under the symbols CIIC, CIICU and CIICW, respectively. Holdco intends to apply to list the Holdco Ordinary Shares and Holdco Warrants on Nasdaq in connection with the Closing. We cannot assure you that the Holdco Ordinary Shares or the Holdco Warrants will be approved for listing on Nasdaq. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Kinetik S.à r.l., the majority shareholder of Arrival, will own 76.43% of the outstanding Holdco Ordinary Shares and will have the right to propose for appointment a majority of the board of directors until it owns less than 30% of the Holdco Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, Holdco will be a controlled company under Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Holdco is a foreign private issuer and an emerging growth company under the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and will be eligible for reduced public company disclosure requirements.
