Re: Initial Public Offering 

Gentlemen: 
 This letter is being delivered to you in accordance
with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and between Regalwood Global Energy Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Citigroup Global Markets
Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) of the several Underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten
initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each comprised of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the
“Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant exercisable for one Class A Ordinary Share (each, a
“Warrant”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 12 hereof. 
 In order to induce the Company and the
Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the benefit that such IPO will confer upon the undersigned as a shareholder of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees with the Company as follows: 
  

	1.	 	If the Company solicits approval of its shareholders of a Business Combination, the undersigned will vote all shares beneficially owned by him, her or it, whether acquired before, in or after the IPO, in favor of such
Business Combination. 

  

	2.	 	 In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the
Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as the same may be amended from time to time (“Charter”), the undersigned will, as promptly as possible, take all necessary actions to cause the
Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the IPO Shares, at a per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, 










	 	 
including interest earned on the Trust Account not previously released to the Company (less up to $100,000 for such net interest to pay winding up expenses), divided by the number of then
outstanding IPO Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the cases of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations
under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account and any
remaining net assets of the Company as a result of such liquidation with respect to the Founder Shares owned by the undersigned (“Claim”). However, if any of the undersigned have acquired IPO Shares in or after the IPO, they
will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such IPO Shares in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Company’s Charter. The
undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to any warrants, all rights of which will terminate on the Company’s liquidation. 



 

	3.	 	The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that prior to entering into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with the undersigned or any Insiders of the Company or
their affiliates, such transaction must be approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested independent directors and the Company must obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, which is a member of FINRA, or an
independent accounting firm that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated shareholders from a financial point of view. 

  

	4.	 	Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation or other cash payment prior to, or for services
rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Business Combination; provided that the Company shall be allowed to make the payments set forth in the Registration Statement adjacent to the caption “Prospectus Summary–The
Offering–Limited payments to insiders.” 

  

	5.	 	(a) The undersigned agrees that the Founder Shares may not be transferred, assigned or sold (except to certain permitted transferees as described in the Registration Statement or herein) (the
“Lockup”) until the earlier to occur of: (1) one year after the consummation of a Business Combination and (2) the date following the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination on which the
Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the closing price of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days
within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the Lockup. 


  
 2 









	 	(b)	 	The undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, hedge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any
transaction that is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the undersigned or any affiliate of the
undersigned or any person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in
respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any other Units, Class A Ordinary Shares, Warrants of the Company or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Class A Ordinary Shares
or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period of 180 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	 	The undersigned agrees that until the Company consummates a Business Combination, the undersigned’s Private Placement Warrants will be subject to the transfer restrictions described in the Private Placement
Warrants Purchase Agreement relating to the undersigned’s Private Placement Warrants. 

  

	 	(d)	 	Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (c), transfers, assignments and sales of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Private
Placement Warrants are permitted (i) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any members of CIEP Sponsor Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (the
“Sponsor”) or their affiliates, or any affiliates of the Sponsor; (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of one of the
individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an
individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) by private sales or transfers made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection with the Business Combination at prices no greater than
the price at the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants or Class A Ordinary Shares were originally purchased; (vi) by virtue of the Sponsor’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the Sponsor; (vii) in the event of the
Company’s dissolution prior to the completion of a Business Combination; or (viii) in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders
having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (vi) these
permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions. 

  

	 	(e)	 	 The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that if, in order to consummate any Business Combination, the holders of
Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants are required to contribute back to the capital of the Company a portion of any such securities to be 



  
 3 









	 	 
cancelled by the Company or transfer any such securities to third parties, the undersigned will contribute back to the capital of the Company or transfer to such third parties, at no cost, a
proportionate number of Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants, as applicable, pro rata with the other holders of Founders’ Shares or Private Placement Warrants, as applicable. 



 

	6.	 	(a) In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest that may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, the undersigned hereby agrees that until the earliest of the Company’s initial Business Combination or
liquidation, the undersigned shall present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any target business that has a fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts
previously disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in trust), subject to any fiduciary or contractual obligations the undersigned might have. 


 

	 	(b)	 	The undersigned hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) each of the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach of the obligations under paragraph 6(a) herein,
(ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have
in law or in equity, in the event of such breach. 

  

	7.	 	The undersigned agrees to be a director or officer of the Company, as applicable, until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. The undersigned’s
biographical information previously furnished to the Company and the Representatives is true and accurate in all respects, does not omit any material information with respect to the undersigned’s background and contains all of the information
