Business Wire
Juuce Limited, which does business as EO Charging (“EO” or “the
Company”), a leading UK-based provider of technology-enabled
turnkey solutions for electric vehicle (“EV”) fleets, and First
Reserve Sustainable Growth Corp. (“FRSG”) (NASDAQ: FRSG), today
announced that the companies have mutually agreed to terminate
their previously announced agreement and plan of merger (the
“Business Combination Agreement”), effective immediately.
Both parties decided to terminate the Business Combination
Agreement as a result of unfavourable market conditions.
“I want to say thank you to our SPAC partner, FRSG, for their
guidance over the past year,” said Charlie Jardine, CEO of EO.
“We’ve worked tirelessly together to bring this transaction to
fruition but, in light of the current market conditions, have
decided that this route is no longer in the best interests of the
business. This decision has been taken to ensure EO remains in the
best possible position to execute on its long-term strategic
objectives and take advantage of the remarkable growth potential in
this market. It’s our mission to become the global leader in fleet
electrification and we continue to demonstrate solid momentum as we
head into Q2 2022.”
“We believe EO is a great company with an exciting future ahead
of them,” said FRSG management. “The current market conditions have
created a challenging environment, impacting high-growth companies.
We wish EO every success as they emerge from this period and
continue to advance their mission of delivering smart charging
technologies and solutions for a greener future.”
