DCAC announces Business Combination with Global Interconnection Group, an integrated platform to service, supply and invest in interconnector cables and wider energy transmission infrastructure projects

19 April 2023

DCAC and Global Interconnection Group SA (“Global InterConnection Group Target”) have entered into a definitive agreement today to effect a business combination (the “Business Combination”). Upon completion of the Business Combination, the combined company will be renamed Global Interconnection Group Limited (“Global InterConnection Group” or “GIG”). It will remain listed on Euronext Amsterdam. Edmund Truell as Executive Chairman leads a world class team of board members; sector leading management; advisers and partners.

About Global InterConnection Group Target

Global InterConnection Group Target is building an integrated platform to service, supply and invest in interconnector cables and wider energy transmission infrastructure projects, comprising three interlocking divisions:

1. Advanced Cables: high voltage direct current (“HVDC”) cable manufacturing to address a long-term supply shortage
2. Interconnector assets: a diversified portfolio of development, construction and operation stage interconnectors
3. Global InterConnection Group Services: design, planning and operational management for both grids and interconnectors.

Rationale for the Business Combination

Global Interconnection Group three interlocking divisions are planned to deliver:

1. 1. Advanced Cables: long-term supply shortage should drive multi-year order book with robust pricing
   2. Interconnectors: pressing need for resilient electricity transmission drives long term demand
   3. Global InterConnection Group Services: shortage of expertise underpins demand

Large Scale capital deployment opportunity

• • • Multi - $ trillion global transformation of energy transmission under way

Positive Impact market drivers

• • • Energy security and Net Zero initiatives are driving demand for energy transmission systems that are greener, stronger, and more interconnected
    • HVDC cable is crucial to many interconnectors, offshore wind, and grid upgrades
    • Interconnected grids are more efficient and able to respond to market stress

Board and management

• • • Management team have worked on most of Europe’s interconnectors; complemented by leading advisers and consultants
    • GIG management highly aligned and heavily invested in Global InterConnection Group
    • Supervisory board with industry veterans to oversee capital allocation and strategy

• • • 30% return                   on unlevered capital cost of cable factories
    • 12% - 16% p.a.             50-year returns on interconnectors

Highlights

• DCAC believes the Business Combination represents a highly attractive opportunity to acquire a unique renewable energy platform with high-potential seed assets, benefitting from powerful global tailwinds, expert management and advisers, and an ambitious multi-divisional strategy that aims to deliver both synergies and diversification to the best possible standards.
• DCAC is well-placed to provide Global InterConnection Group Target with the capital and the financial expertise to support the programmes of its existing subsidiaries and to achieve organic and inorganic growth in pursuit of its ambitious plans to become a world-leading integrated platform for the provision of HVDC cable, dedicated capital and management services to a portfolio of transmission assets, at the heart of the global drive towards Net Zero and greater energy security.
• Global InterConnection Group is led by a highly experienced management team, overseen by a board and investment committee comprising leading experts in the sector.
• DCAC believes that the Business Combination represents an exciting opportunity to build a market-leading, international platform that benefits from and supports global initiatives for increased energy security and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
• Greater access to the capital markets through its listing is expected to accelerate Global InterConnection Group Target’s already ambitious growth plans through its listing, thereby raising Global InterConnection Group Target’s profile, and diversifying its shareholder base, while enhancing its ability to execute on a strong mergers and acquisitions pipeline
• DCAC and GIG Target have pre-sounded the transaction with certain existing DCAC shareholders and GIG Target shareholders and other investors, and received broad support for the Business Combination.
• The Business Combination is expected to be completed in June 2023.

Interconnector Market

HVDC cables are growing in importance and contrast with more common high voltage alternating current transmission cables. HVDC cables are both cheaper and more efficient for the transmission of energy over longer distances, as they incur significantly lower transmission losses.

HVDC cables also have an important application in stabilising alternating current grids and as such are fundamental to many grid strengthening projects. HVDC cable manufacturing is therefore a key component of overall energy transition to supply interconnectors as well as grid upgrade and offshore wind projects. This has given rise to a pronounced supply-demand imbalance in the HVDC cable market which DCAC believes will continue for decades. GIG therefore presents as a particularly attractive and rare opportunity to invest in the development of new HVDC cable manufacturing capacity.

Interconnectors are power cables that connect different countries' electricity grids, as a means of improving grid efficiency and expediting the transmission of energy internationally, from where it is generated to where it is needed. As the world plans for and transitions towards a decarbonised future and with a renewed global emphasis on energy security, interconnectors are recognised as a central component to countries' energy strategies, not least because interconnected grids are more efficient and able to respond to market stress. The Business Combination offers DCAC the opportunity to benefit both from income through operating interconnectors and capital appreciation from interconnector development projects.

At the same time, DCAC believes the proliferation of interconnectors and grid upgrades represents an attractive opportunity for the provision of design, planning and operational consultancy services to such projects by GIG Services. Moreover, GIG’s planned combination of HVDC cable manufacturing, interconnector ownership and related consultancy services offers significant scope for cross-selling, given the divisional customer overlap.

GIG’s strategy is founded on two existing subsidiaries: Advanced Cables Ltd (“Advanced Cables”) and Atlantic SuperConnection Energy Ltd (“Atlantic SuperConnection” or “ASC”), complemented by GIG Services.

Advanced Cables

Advanced Cables is developing a 1,500+ km / year capacity HVDC cable manufacturing and armouring facility in the North East of England at Teesside (the “Teesside Factory”), together with aluminium stranding and cable testing and research facilities in Iceland.

Advanced Cables has identified its preferred sites for both the UK and Iceland facilities and is in advanced discussions with a major HVDC cable manufacturer to co-fund and operate the Teesside Factory.

Advanced Cables’ output will supply projects fulfilling global initiatives for greater energy security and Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, it expects to generate material economic benefit for both the UK and Iceland through creating manufacturing jobs, enhancing exports and supporting regional development.

Advanced Cables expects to commence construction of its UK factory in H2 2023, with cable production commencing thereafter in H2 2025.

Atlantic SuperConnection

Atlantic SuperConnection is developing an interconnector cable to transmit up to 1.8GW of hydroelectric and geothermal energy from Iceland to the UK, through which Iceland will be able to provide over a million households in the United Kingdom with renewable energy. It is expected that this will reduce the UK energy sector’s annual CO2 emissions by more than 3% (i.e. 1.1. million tonnes of CO2 per year).

To date, Atlantic SuperConnection has completed a seabed survey to ascertain the optimal cable route, secured a connection agreement with the UK National Grid, and importantly has had technical feasibility confirmed by reports from RTE International, a leading interconnector consultancy, which in September 2022 was appointed Owner’s Engineer for the project.

Atlantic SuperConnection expects to have a substantial positive social and economic impact in both Iceland and the UK once operational. Iceland will benefit from its first energy export revenues, and from the greater energy security of connecting its grid to other countries for the first time. The UK will benefit from access to economical, renewable and dependable energy, mitigating the energy shortages and price volatility engendered by recent geopolitical events and the country’s increasing dependence on intermittent wind and solar energy.

Atlantic SuperConnection expects to commence construction of the interconnector in 2024, with project completion in 2029.

Atlantic SuperConnection is the first asset within the GIG interconnector portfolio, which GIG expects to augment and diversify through the acquisition of other interconnector projects and operating assets.

Shareholder Circular

The completion of the Business Combination is subject to the approval of DCAC Shareholders. To this end, a Shareholder Circular (the “Shareholder Circular”) has been distributed containing detailed information on the Business Combination and giving notice of an EGM, to be held on 10th May 2023. The Shareholder Circular contains important information, including risk factors and conflicts of interest inherent in the Business Combination proposals.

The approval of the DCAC Sponsor Shareholders and the DCAC Warrant Holders will also be required to consummate the Business Combination. Accordingly, in addition to the EGM, a class meeting of the DCAC Ordinary Shareholders, an associated class meeting of the DCAC Sponsor Shareholders and a meeting of the DCAC Warrant Holders, will be held on the same day subsequent to the EGM, i.e. 10th May 2023. Notices for these meetings are included in the Shareholder Circular.

DCAC Shareholders, DCAC Warrant Holders and prospective investors should read the Shareholder Circular in full and pay special attention to the risk factors therein.
