REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

This annual report of Energy Transition Partners B.V. (hereinafter referred to as "Energy Transition" or the "Company") for the year ended 31 December 2022 consists of the report of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board", the "Directors' Report" or the "Board Report"), including the responsibility statement and other mandatory statements by the Board and the financial statements of the Company (the "Financial Statements") and the accompanying notes (the "Annual Report").

ABOUT ENERGY TRANSITION PARTNERS B.V.

The Company was incorporated on 25 February 2021 under the name of EnTra Acquisition B.V. On 10 March 2021 the name of the Company was changed to Energy Transition Partners B.V. The Company has its registered office at Luna ArenA, Herikerbergweg 238, 1101 CM Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

The Company is a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) with the purpose of effecting a merger, demerger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganisation or similar business combination with, or acquisition of, a business or company (a "Target") (a "Business Combination") operating in the Energy Transition Sector that is headquartered or operating in Europe (including UK), although it may pursue a business combination opportunity in any geography, industry or sector. Energy Transition Sponsor LLP (the "Sponsor") is the Sponsor of the Company.

The Company was admitted to listing and trading on Euronext Amsterdam (the "Admission"), the regulated market operated by Euronext Amsterdam N.V. ("Euronext Amsterdam") on 19 July 2021 pursuant to a private placement (the "Private Placement" or "Offering") in which it raised EUR 175 million in gross proceeds (the "Proceeds") in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Company's prospectus which has been issued on 15 July 2021 (the "Prospectus"). The Company completed the Offering of 17,500,000 units (the "Units"), each consisting of one ordinary share (an "Ordinary Share") and one-third (1/3) of a warrant (a "Warrant" or "Public Warrant"), at a price of EUR 10.00 per Unit raising gross proceeds of EUR 175 million. Payment for the Ordinary Shares and the Public Warrants ("Settlement") took place on 21 July 2021 (the "Settlement Date").

Since the Settlement Date, the Company has been focusing on the selection of a potential target company for the initial Business Combination. The process is currently ongoing, and the Company has 24 months from the Settlement Date, plus an additional six months subject to approval by the General Meeting, to complete a Business Combination.

The Company's business strategy is to identify, combine with and maximise the value of a Target with operations in the Energy Transition Sector. In executing this strategy, the Company will look for a Target that (i) complements the experience of the Founders (ii) can benefit from the Founders' operating and financial expertise and (iii) represents a compelling investment opportunity for the Company and its investors.

If the Company identifies a suitable Target, the Company will enter into negotiations with the Target's current owners including, if appropriate, for the purpose of agreeing transaction documentation appropriate for the potential Business Combination.

Assuming the transaction documentation is agreed, the Company will convene an extraordinary shareholder meeting and propose the Business Combination to the Shareholders (the "Business Combination EGM"). The approval of the Business Combination will require a simple majority (over 50% of the votes cast on the Shares) approval of the General Meeting without any quorum requirement. Depending on the nature of the transaction, other resolutions may also need to be passed which could have a higher voting threshold and/or have a quorum requirement.

If a proposed Business Combination is not approved at the Business Combination EGM, the Company may (i) provide notice of a subsequent General Meeting and submit the same proposed Business Combination for approval and (ii) seek other potential Targets, provided that the Business Combination must be completed prior to the Business Combination Deadline.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Company will repurchase Ordinary Shares held by Ordinary Shareholders that so wish, irrespective of whether and how they voted at the Business Combination EGM in accordance with the Redemption Arrangement.

The Company will publicly disclose material updates with respect to the transaction process leading up to the Business Combination, including the envisaged Business Combination Date. On the Business Combination Date, all documents will be signed and all such actions will be taken to legally complete the Business Combination. The Company will issue a press release to confirm that the Business Combination has been completed.

At the end of the financial year ending on 31 December 2022, the Company has not proposed a specific target company to the Business Combination EGM. The Company will continue its search for a proposed Business Combination with a target company to be completed before the Business Combination Deadline.

RESULT

The Company has suffered an after-tax loss of EUR 9,492,075 (2021: EUR 5,137,352) for the the year ended 31 December 2022. The Company has not recorded any operational revenues. The result is attributable to the operating costs and negative interest rates for large commercial deposits and to the recognition of the amortised cost impact of the redeemable Ordinary Shares and change in the fair value of the Founder Warrants and Public Warrants as derivative financial liabilities (pursuant to IAS 32) on the Company's balance sheet, which is expensed through the profit and loss and is a non-cash adjustment.

Over the course of the year ended 31 December 2022, the escrow account was subject to negative interest, initially at European Central Bank ("ECB") variable rate minus 15 bps and then to positive interest rates. As a result, the money held in the escrow account decreased to EUR 175,947,199 as at 31 December 2022 (2021: EUR 176,366,017).
