On February 9, 2021, Alussa Energy Acquisition Corp. (“Alussa”) entered into a Loan Note Instrument (the “Loan Note”) with Alussa Energy Sponsor LLC (“Payee”), pursuant to which, Payee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may loan to Alussa up to $1,500,000 for costs reasonably related to Alussa’s consummation of an initial business combination. The Loan Note does not bear any interest.

The Loan Note is payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which Alussa consummates its initial business combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of Alussa is effective.

The Loan Note is subject to customary events if default, including failure by Alussa to pay the principal amount due pursuant to the Loan Note within five business days of the Maturity Date and certain bankruptcy events of Alussa.  

At Payee’s option, at any time prior to payment in full of the principal balance of the Loan Note, Payee may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan Note into that number of warrants, each whole warrant exercisable for one ordinary share of Alussa (the “Conversion Warrants”), equal to: (x) the portion of the principal amount of the Loan Note being converted, divided by (y) $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number of warrants. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the warrants issued by Alussa to the Payee in a private placement upon consummation of the Alussa’s initial public offering. The Conversion Warrants are subject to customary registration rights granted by Alussa to the Payee pursuant to the Loan Note.

A copy of the Loan Note is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the foregoing description thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Note.
