 natural gas (LNG). Investor sentiment in the E&P sector has shifted from a focus on production growth to disciplined capital allocation, prioritizing total shareholder returns and capital distributions. Large Target Market. The energy industry, particularly E&P, remains highly fragmented, comprising hundreds of companies ranging from start -upsto multinationals. Many non -investment -gradefirms have experienced financial distress due to excessive leverage, prompting operational restructurings and asset divestitures. Asset sales have historically served as a key funding mechanism in the sector. We believe that current constraints on capital and a subdued M&A environment have left many companies — both public and private — unable to fully capitalize on their asset bases, presenting strategic acquisition opportunities. Lack of Competition. Geopolitical uncertainty and capital flight have adversely impacted many energy companies’ access to financing. Public and private equity and debt investors have significantly reduced their exposure to the sector. This exodus has created a window of opportunity for energy -focusedspecial purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) to pursue acquisitions in what we believe is a buyer’s market. Management Experience. Success in the energy sector requires core competencies across five critical domains: subsurface technical expertise, operational execution, commercial strategy, financial management, and public market readiness. Our management team brings strong capabilities and a global track record in each of these areas. Investment Approach Following the completion of this offering, our team intends to launch an extensive outreach program across its network of industry relationships to communicate the parameters of our acquisition strategy. This process will initiate the identification, evaluation, and pursuit of potential business combination opportunities. We will leverage the following competitive advantages in our efforts: Proactive and Proprietary Transaction Sourcing. We believe our team’s track record of building high -growthbusiness platforms, combined with our proactive deal sourcing approach and extensive relationship network, will provide access to a robust pipeline of proprietary investment opportunities. We believe our success to date positions us as an attractive partner for energy companies across the value chain seeking capital and liquidity solutions. Execution and Structuring Capability. We believe our transaction experience and industry reputation will enable us to pursue and execute deals that require sophisticated problem -solving, detailed due diligence, and nuanced structuring. The team has participated in the creation of numerous high -valuepublic and private companies that demanded these competencies. We expect to apply this expertise in identifying transactions with compelling risk -adjustedreturn profiles, favorable structural features, and manageable levels of financial leverage. Significant Value-Add Capability. We believe our team’s domain expertise and broad industry network
