GORES HOLDINGS V, INC.
9800 Wilshire Blvd.
Beverly Hills, California 90212

Dear Gores Holdings V, Inc. Stockholder:

We cordially invite you to attend a special meeting in lieu of the 2021 annual meeting of the stockholders of Gores Holdings V, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("we," "us, " "our" or the "Company"), which, in light of public health concerns regarding the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, will be held via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/goresholdingsv/sm2021, on August 3, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time (the "Special Meeting"). The Special Meeting can be accessed by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/goresholdingsv/sm2021, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live and vote during the meeting. Additionally, you have the option to listen only to the Special Meeting by dialing 1 877-770-3647 (toll-free within the U.S. and Canada) or +1 312-780-0854 (outside of the U.S. and Canada, standard rates apply). The passcode for telephone access is 11309999#, but you cannot vote or ask questions if you choose to participate telephonically. Please note that you will only be able to access the Special Meeting by means of remote communication.

On February 22, 2021, the Company, Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. ("AMPSA"), a public limited liability company (societe anonyme) incorporated and existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Ardagh Group S.A. ("AGSA"), a public limited liability company (societe anonyme) incorporated and existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and Ardagh MP MergeCo Inc. ("MergeCo"), a Delaware corporation, entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement"). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, a series of transactions occurred, or will occur, including the following: (i) prior to the Closing, AGSA effected a series of transactions that resulted in (a) the subsidiaries of AGSA that are engaged in the AMP Business being wholly owned by AMPSA and (b) assets and liabilities relating to the businesses of AGSA (other than the AMP Business) that are held by subsidiaries of AGSA that are engaged in the AMP Business being transferred to subsidiaries of AGSA that are not engaged in the AMP Business, and assets and liabilities relating to the AMP Business that are held by subsidiaries of AGSA (other than the AMP Entities) being transferred to the AMP Entities; (ii) the incurrence by AMPSA of indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.8 billion; (iii) at the Closing, certain investors will subscribe for approximately 60,000,000 AMPSA Shares for an aggregate purchase price payable to AMPSA of approximately $600,000,000 (excluding the GHV Sponsor Backstop); and (iv) at the Closing, MergeCo will merge with and into GHV, with GHV being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA, and all Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than any Excluded Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), will be contributed to AMPSA in exchange for AMPSA Shares, and all of the Company's warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into warrants of AMPSA. You are being asked to vote for the Merger Proposal.

At the Special Meeting, Company stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal (the "Merger Proposal" or "Proposal No. 1") to adopt the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and approve the Merger. In addition, you are being asked to consider and vote upon: (i) a separate proposal with respect to certain provisions in AMPSA's articles of association because (A) the number of authorized shares under the AMPSA articles of association is greater than the number of authorized shares under GHV's current certificate of incorporation and (B) the AMPSA articles of association include a compulsory share transfer provision, which are being separately presented in accordance with SEC requirements and which will be voted on a non-binding advisory basis (the "Governance Proposal" or "Proposal No. 2"), and (ii) a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus that our Board of Directors (the "Board") has determined in good faith is required by applicable law to be disclosed to the Company stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Company stockholders prior to the Special Meeting, (B) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of GHV Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Special Meeting or (C) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Merger Proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal" or "Proposal No. 3").

Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement, which each stockholder is encouraged to read carefully.

Our publicly-traded GHV Class A Common Stock, GHV Units and Public Warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols "GRSV," "GRSVU" and "GRSVW," respectively. AMPSA intends to apply to list its AMPSA Shares and AMPSA Warrants on NYSE under the symbols "AMBP" and "AMBPW," respectively, upon the closing of the Merger.

Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, we are providing our Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the Merger, shares of GHV Class A Common Stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the closing of the Merger) in the Trust Account that holds the proceeds of our IPO (including interest not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements plus regulatory compliance requirements and other costs related thereto, subject to an annual limit of $1,250,000, for a maximum of 24 months, using funds released to the Company from the Trust Account ("Regulatory Withdrawals") and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses)). The per-share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission totaling $18,375,000 that we will pay to the underwriters of our IPO or transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on the balance of the Trust Account of $525,033,518 as of March 31, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00. Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote for the Merger Proposal. A Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group's shares, in excess of 20% of the shares of GHV Class A Common Stock included in the GHV Units sold in our IPO. We refer to this as the "20% threshold." We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under our current certificate of incorporation, other than the aforementioned 20% threshold, but we are not permitted to redeem shares of our GHV Class A Common Stock in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets exceeding $5,000,000. Holders of our outstanding Public Warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the Merger. Unless otherwise specified, the information in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus assumes that none of our Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to their shares of GHV Class A Common Stock.

Our Sponsor and current independent directors (our "Initial Stockholders"), as well as our officers and other current directors, have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their shares of GHV Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Merger, and the GHV Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of GHV Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Merger. Currently, our Initial Stockholders own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock, including all of the GHV Founder Shares. Our Initial Stockholders, directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of the Company's GHV Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Merger Proposal. The GHV Founder Shares are subject to transfer restrictions.

We are providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting (including following any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting). Information about the Special Meeting, the Business Combination (including the Merger) and other related business to be considered by the Company's stockholders at the Special Meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge all Company stockholders to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the accompanying financial statements of the Company and AMPSA, carefully and in their entirety. In particular, we urge you to read carefully the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 66 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, our Board has unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions effected pursuant thereto, including the Merger, and unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote "FOR" adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and approval of the Merger, and "FOR" all other proposals presented to our stockholders in the accompanying proxy statement. When you consider the Board's recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Merger Proposal—Interests of GHV Initial Stockholders and GHV's Other Current Officers and Directors" for additional information.

Approval of the Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in "street name" through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting. The Merger will be consummated only if the Merger Proposal is approved at the Special Meeting. Unless waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the closing of the Merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Merger Proposal. The Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted "FOR" each of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the Special Meeting in person, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the Special Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND THAT THE COMPANY REDEEM YOUR SHARES FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO THE COMPANY'S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AT SUCH MEETING. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY EITHER DELIVERING YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE TO THE TRANSFER AGENT OR BY DELIVERING YOUR SHARES ELECTRONICALLY USING DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY'S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM. IF THE MERGER IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES WILL NOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

On behalf of our Board, I would like to thank you for your support of Gores Holdings V, Inc. and look forward to a successful completion of the Merger.

|  | Sincerely,
July 7, 2021 |  |

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING IN LIEU OF 2021 ANNUAL MEETING OF
STOCKHOLDERS OF GORES HOLDINGS V, INC.
TO BE HELD AUGUST 3, 2021

To the Stockholders of Gores Holdings V, Inc.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting in lieu of the 2021 annual meeting of the stockholders of Gores Holdings V, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), which, in light of public health concerns regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, will be held via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/goresholdingsv/sm2021, on August 3, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time (the "Special Meeting"). The Special Meeting can be accessed by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/goresholdingsv/sm2021, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live and vote during the meeting. Additionally, you have the option to listen only to the Special Meeting by dialing 1 877-770-3647 (toll-free within the U.S. and Canada) or +1 312-780-0854 (outside of the U.S. and Canada, standard rates apply). The passcode for telephone access is 11309999#, but you cannot vote or ask questions if you choose to participate telephonically. Please note that you will only be able to access the Special Meeting by means of remote communication.

You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting to conduct the following items of business:

(1)
  Merger Proposal—To consider and vote upon a proposal (the "Merger Proposal" or "Proposal No. 1") to adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2021 (as amended as of March 5, 2021, and as may be amended from time to time, the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among the Company, Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A., a public limited liability company (société anonyme) governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ("AMPSA"), Ardagh MP MergeCo Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MergeCo"), and Ardagh Group S.A., a public limited liability company (société anonyme) governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ("AGSA"), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and approve the Merger. At and in connection with the closing of the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the "Closing" and, such date, the "Closing Date"), certain investors will subscribe for approximately 60,000,000 AMPSA Shares for an aggregate purchase price payable to AMPSA of approximately $600,000,000 (excluding the GHV Sponsor Backstop) and all Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than any Excluded Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), will be contributed to AMPSA in exchange for AMPSA Shares, and all of the Company's warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into warrants of AMPSA.
(2)
  Governance Proposal—To consider and vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, a separate proposal with respect to certain provisions in AMPSA's articles of association because (i) the number of authorized shares under the AMPSA articles of association is greater than the number of authorized shares under GHV's current certificate of incorporation and (ii) the AMPSA articles of association include a compulsory share transfer provision, in accordance with United States Securities and Exchange Commission requirements (Proposal No. 2).
(3)
  Adjournment Proposal—To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus that our Board of Directors (the "Board") has determined in good faith is required by applicable law to be disclosed to the Company stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Company stockholders prior to the Special Meeting, (B) if, as of the time for which the Special meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of GHV Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Special Meeting or (C) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the

Merger Proposal. This proposal will only be presented at the Special Meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal (Proposal No. 3).

The above matters are more fully described in this proxy statement/prospectus, which also includes, as Annex A, a copy of the Business Combination Agreement. We urge you to read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety, including the Annexes and accompanying financial statements of the Company and AMPSA.

The record date for the Special Meeting is June 29, 2021. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date may vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. A complete list of our stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for ten days before the Special Meeting at our principal executive offices for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting.

Gores Sponsor V, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our "Sponsor"), and Mr. Randall Bort, Mr. William Patton and Mr. Jeffrey Rea, the Company's independent directors (together with the Sponsor, the "Initial Stockholders"), officers and other current directors have agreed to vote any of the shares of GHV Class F Common Stock that are currently owned by our Initial Stockholders (the "GHV Founder Shares") and any Public Shares purchased during or after our initial public offering (our "IPO") in favor of the Merger Proposal. Currently, our Initial Stockholders own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock, including all of the GHV Founder Shares.

Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, we will provide our Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, effective upon the closing of the Merger, shares of the Company's GHV Class A Common Stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the closing of the Merger) in our trust account (the "Trust Account") that holds the proceeds of our IPO (including interest not previously released to the Company to fund regulatory compliance requirements and other costs related thereto, subject to an annual limit of $1,250,000, for a maximum of 24 months, using funds released to the Company from the Trust Account ("Regulatory Withdrawals") and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes). The per-share amount we will distribute to Public Stockholders who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission totaling $18,375,000 that we will pay to the underwriters of our IPO, as well as other transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on the balance of our Trust Account of $525,033,518 as of March 31, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00. Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote "FOR" the Merger Proposal. A Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group's shares, in excess of 20% of the shares of GHV Common Stock included in the GHV Units sold in our IPO. We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under our current certificate of incorporation, other than the aforementioned 20% threshold, but in no event are we permitted to redeem shares of our GHV Class A Common Stock in an amount that would result in our failure to have net tangible assets exceeding $5,000,000. Holders of our outstanding Public Warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the Merger.

Our Initial Stockholders, current officers and other current directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their shares of GHV Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Merger, and the GHV Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of GHV Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Merger.

The Merger is conditioned on the approval of the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting. The Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

A majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's GHV Common Stock entitled to vote as of the record date at the Special Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Because our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote the shares of GHV Common Stock they own in favor of the Merger Proposal (which amount constitutes approximately 20% of our outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock), approximately 38% of the GHV Class A Common Stock held by the Public Stockholders will need to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal for the Merger Proposal to be approved (assuming all of such stockholders are represented in person via the virtual meeting platform or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting). The approval of the Governance Proposal and the approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" each of these proposals.

ABOUT THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

This document, which forms part of a registration statement on Form F-4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by AMPSA, constitutes a prospectus of AMPSA under Section 5 of the Securities Act, with respect to the AMPSA Shares to be issued to the GHV stockholders if the Merger described herein is consummated. This document also constitutes a notice of meeting and a proxy statement/prospectus under Section 14(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") with respect to the special meeting of GHV stockholders at which GHV stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the Merger Proposal, among other matters.

This document does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction or to any person to whom it would be unlawful to make such offer.

This proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of securities in any Member State of the European Economic Area ("EEA") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of securities. The expression "Prospectus Regulation" means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended or superseded).

Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors—The securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

MiFID II Product Governance / Professional Investors and ECPs Only Target Market —Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the securities has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the securities is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the securities to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the securities (for the purposes of this provision, a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the securities (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

This proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of securities in the United Kingdom ("UK") will be made pursuant to an exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of securities under section 85 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA").

Prohibition of Sales to United Kingdom Retail Investors—The securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended, the "EUWA"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that

1

customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

UK Product Governance / Professional Investors and ECPs Only Target Market—Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the securities has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the securities is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the UK Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the securities to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the securities (for the purposes of this provision, a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the securities (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

This proxy statement/prospectus is for distribution only to persons who (i) have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the "Financial Promotion Order"), (ii) are persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) through (d) ("high net worth companies, unincorporated associations, etc.") of the Financial Promotion Order, (iii) are outside the United Kingdom, or (iv) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended)) in connection with the offering or sale of any securities may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons together being referred to as "relevant persons"). This proxy statement/prospectus is directed only at relevant persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not relevant persons. Any investment or investment activity to which this proxy statement/prospectus relates is available only to relevant persons and will be engaged in only with relevant persons.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

Given the specialized nature of the metal packaging markets in which AMPSA operates, there does not exist a relevant and reliable third-party source of much of the relevant market information presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. Therefore, estimates provided by AMPSA regarding these markets as set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as estimated market shares of AMPSA or its competitors, are largely based on AMPSA's knowledge of these markets, developed primarily from analysis of public information, third-party reports to the extent available, competitors' public announcements and regulatory filings and information gathered in the course of acquisitions. The data relating to market sizes, market share and market position are based on the most recent data available. This information has not been confirmed by an independent organization, nor can there be assurance that third parties would arrive at the same results were they to employ different methods for gathering, analyzing and calculating such data. Breakdowns of market shares were established on the basis of the AMP Business's consolidated revenues and these data. Market positions and percentage shares are those that AMPSA believes it holds in terms of revenues. They are based on industry market sectors on which AMPSA's business is arranged.

Certain additional information regarding the global packaging industry, generally, and the metal packaging sector, specifically, has been sourced from Smithers Pira.

Any third-party information described above and included in this proxy statement/prospectus has been accurately reproduced and, as far as AMPSA is aware and is able to ascertain from the information published by such third parties, the reproduced information is accurate and no facts have been omitted which would render such information inaccurate or misleading. Market share data is subject to change, however, and such third-party information has been prepared for statistical and other informational purposes, which is limited by the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey of market share.

SUMMARY TERM SHEET

This summary term sheet, together with the sections entitled "Questions and Answers About the Proposals for Stockholders" and "Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus," summarizes certain information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, but does not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read carefully this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the attached Annexes, for a more complete understanding of the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. In addition, for definitions used commonly throughout this proxy statement/prospectus, including this summary term sheet, please see the section entitled "Frequently Used Terms."

•
  Gores Holdings V, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which we refer to as "we," "us," "our," "GHV," or the "Company" within this Summary Term Sheet, is a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
•
  There are currently 65,625,000 shares of GHV Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, issued and outstanding, consisting of (i) 52,500,000 shares of GHV Class A Common Stock originally sold as part of the IPO, and (ii) 13,125,000 shares of GHV Class F Common Stock, 11,500,000 of which were initially issued to our Sponsor prior to our IPO, 2,156,250 of which were the result of a stock dividend and 531,250 of which were forfeited following the expiration of the unexercised portion of underwriters' over-allotment option. To facilitate the Business Combination, our Sponsor agreed to forfeit 3,281,250 shares of its Class F Common Stock prior to the Merger. There are currently no shares of Company preferred stock issued and outstanding. In addition, we issued 10,500,000 Public Warrants to purchase GHV Class A Common Stock (originally sold as part of the GHV Units issued in our IPO) as part of our IPO along with 6,250,000 Private Placement Warrants issued to our Sponsor in a private placement on August 10, 2020 (the "IPO Closing Date"). Each Public Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of our GHV Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, to be exercised only for a whole number of shares of our GHV Class A Common Stock. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO, and they expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, if the last sale price of the Company's GHV Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. Except as otherwise provided in the Warrant Agreement, the Private Placement Warrants, however, are non-redeemable so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees. In connection with the Merger, all the GHV Warrants, including the Public Warrants, will be converted into AMPSA Warrants. For more information regarding the Public Warrants, please see the section entitled "Description of AMPSA's Securities."
•
  The aggregate consideration to be paid to AGSA pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and the Transfer Agreement consists of (a) $2,315,000,000, payable in cash (in U.S. dollars or euros or a combination of both) from the proceeds of the Debt Financing, (b) 484,956,250 AMPSA Shares, (c) a promissory note issued by AMPSA in the amount of $1,085,000,000, to be paid in cash at the Closing or, in certain circumstances, a combination of cash and AMPSA Shares, and (d) the right to receive, during the five-year period commencing 180 days after the Closing, up to 60,730,000 additional AMPSA Shares in five equal installments if the price of AMPSA Shares maintains for a certain period of time a volume weighted average price greater than or equal to $13.00, $15.00, $16.50, $18.00 and $19.50, as applicable (collectively, the "AGSA Consideration").

•
  The Subscribers have agreed to purchase in the aggregate 60,000,000 shares of AMPSA for $600,000,000 of gross proceeds, in the PIPE (in addition, the GHV Sponsor has agreed to the GHV Sponsor Backstop).
•
  It is anticipated, upon completion of the Merger, and assuming that no shares are elected to be redeemed: (i) the Public Stockholders (other than the Subscribers) will retain an ownership interest of approximately 8.6% in AMPSA; (ii) the Subscribers will own approximately 9.9% of AMPSA (such that Public Stockholders, including Subscribers, will own approximately 18.5% of AMPSA); (iii) the Initial Stockholders (including our Sponsor) will own approximately 1.6% of AMPSA; and (iv) AGSA will own approximately 79.9% of AMPSA.
•
  GHV's Board and management considered various factors in determining whether to approve the Business Combination Agreement and transactions effected pursuant thereto, including the fact that AMPSA is a pre-eminent pure play beverage can company, that AMPSA is a leader in sustainability and that there are long-term industry megatrends and environmentally conscious end consumers that are driving an inflection point in beverage can demand. For more information about the GHV Board decision-making process, see the section entitled "The Business Combination—GHV's Board of Directors' Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination."
•
  Pursuant to GHV's current certificate of incorporation, in connection with the Merger, Public Stockholders may elect to have their GHV Class A Common Stock redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with GHV's current certificate of incorporation. As of December 31, 2020, the redemption price would have been approximately $10.00 per share. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of GHV Class A Common Stock for cash and will no longer own shares of AMPSA following the Closing. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for their GHV Class A Common Stock only if they properly demand redemption and deliver their shares (either physically or electronically) to our Transfer Agent, Continental Stock & Trust Company, at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting. Please see the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2021 Annual Meeting of GHV Stockholders—Redemption Rights."
•
  In addition to voting to approve the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company will be asked to vote on:
  •
    a separate proposal with respect to certain provisions in AMPSA's articles of association because (i) the number of authorized shares under the AMPSA articles of association is greater than the number of authorized shares under GHV's current certificate of incorporation and (ii) the AMPSA articles of association include a compulsory share transfer provision, which are being separately presented in accordance with SEC requirements and which will be voted on a non-binding advisory basis (the "Governance Proposal" or "Proposal No. 2"); and
  •
    a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus that the Board has determined in good faith is required by applicable law to be disclosed to Company stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Company stockholders prior to the Special Meeting, (B) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of GHV Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Special Meeting or (C) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Merger Proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal" or "Proposal No. 3").

5

AGSA will own approximately 80% of the outstanding AMPSA Shares upon completion of the Merger, and, as such, will have the right to initiate the compulsory share transfer as provided for in and in accordance with Article 13 of AMPSA's articles of association after the completion of the Merger. Please see the sections entitled "GHV Stockholder Proposal No. 1—Merger Proposal," "—GHV Stockholder Proposal No. 2—Governance Proposal" and "GHV Stockholder Proposal No. 3—The Adjournment Proposal." The Merger is conditioned on the approval of the Merger Proposal. The Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal in this proxy statement/prospectus.

•
  Unless waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to applicable law, the closing of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement including, among others, that: (a) no action or governmental order or law shall have been enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Transactions or would cause any of the Transactions to be rescinded following the Closing; (b) the Merger Proposal shall have been approved and adopted by the requisite affirmative vote of the GHV stockholders; (c) a Luxembourg statutory independent auditor (réviseur d'entreprises agréé) of AMPSA shall have issued appropriate reports regarding the contributions in kind relating to the AMPSA Shares to be issued to AGSA and the GHV stockholders; (d) all closing conditions to the PIPE Investment shall have been satisfied or waived and the PIPE Investment Amount shall have been paid to AMPSA on the Closing Date; (e) the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act and no stop order or proceedings for purposes of suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement shall have been initiated by the SEC and not withdrawn; and (f) the AMPSA Shares shall have been approved for listing on NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance. For more information about the closing conditions to the Merger, please see the section entitled "The Business Combination Agreement—Conditions to Closing the Merger."
•
  The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the consummation of the Merger upon agreement of the parties thereto, or by the Company, on the one hand, or AGSA, on the other hand, in specified circumstances. For more information about the termination rights under the Business Combination Agreement, please see the section entitled "The Business Combination Agreement—Termination of the Business Combination Agreement."

In considering the recommendation of our Board to vote for the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal, you should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, our Sponsor and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. Our Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and transaction agreements and in recommending to our stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal.

•
  if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event GHV is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the GHV Sponsor has agreed to indemnify GHV to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which GHV has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to GHV, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;
•
  the continued indemnification of GHV's existing directors and officers and the purchase of a tail policy with respect to GHV's directors' and officers' existing liability insurance;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in GHV and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if GHV does not consummate an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;

Q: What are the specific proposals on which I am being asked to vote at the Special Meeting?

A:
  The Company's stockholders are being asked to approve the following proposals:
  1.
    Merger Proposal—To adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Merger (Proposal No. 1);
  2.
    Governance Proposal—To consider and act upon a separate proposal with respect to certain provisions in AMPSA's articles of association because (i) the number of authorized shares under the AMPSA articles of association is greater than the number of authorized shares

15

under GHV's current certificate of incorporation and (ii) the AMPSA articles of association include a compulsory share transfer provision, which are being separately presented in accordance with SEC requirements and which will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis (Proposal No. 2); and

3.
  Adjournment Proposal—To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus that the GHV Board has determined in good faith is required by applicable law to be disclosed to Company stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Company stockholders prior to the Special Meeting, (B) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of GHV Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Special Meeting or (C) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Merger Proposal. This proposal will only be presented at the Special Meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal (Proposal No. 3).

Q: Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A:
  No. The Merger is conditioned on the approval of the Merger Proposal only. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Merger Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, we will not consummate the Merger. If we do not consummate the Merger and fail to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the Public Stockholders.

Q: Why is the Company providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination Agreement?

A:
  Under our current certificate of incorporation, we must provide all holders of Public Shares with the opportunity to have their Public Shares redeemed upon the consummation of our initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a stockholder vote. Because the proposed business combination transaction is being effected through the Merger, our stockholders will have the opportunity to have their Public Shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder vote rather than a tender offer. The approval of the Merger Proposal is also a condition to the closing of the Merger under the Business Combination Agreement.

Q: What revenues and profits/losses has the AMP Business generated in the last three years?

A:
  For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the AMP Business had total revenue of $3,451 million, $3,344 million and $3,338 million, respectively, and profit/ (loss) for the year of $111 million, $(40) million and $(75) million, respectively. For more information, please see the sections entitled "Selected Historical Combined Financial and Other Data of the AMP Business," "AMPSA Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

Q: What will happen in the Merger?

A:
  Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and the Related Agreements, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, AGSA, AMPSA, GHV and/or MergeCo will effect a series of transactions we collectively refer to as the Business Combination. Prior to the Closing, AGSA effected the Pre-Closing Restructuring and AMPSA incurred indebtedness under

16

the Debt Financing. At the Closing, (i) the Subscribers will subscribe for 60,000,000 AMPSA shares for an aggregate purchase price payable to AMPSA of $600,000,000 (excluding the GHV Sponsor Backstop), (ii) MergeCo will merge with and into GHV, with GHV being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA, and all shares of GHV Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, other than any Excluded Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), will be contributed to AMPSA in exchange for AMPSA Shares, and (iii) all GHV Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be converted into AMPSA Warrants.

Q: Following the Merger, will GHV's securities continue to trade on a stock exchange?

A:
  No. The GHV Common Stock, the GHV Units and the GHV Warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols "GRSV," "GRSVU" and "GRSVW." Upon the Closing, AMPSA expects to delist GHV's securities from the Nasdaq and apply to list its AMPSA Shares and AMPSA Warrants on NYSE under the symbols "AMBP" and "AMBPW."

Q: How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of the Company's GHV Class A Common Stock?

A:
  On February 22, 2021, the trading date before the public announcement of the Business Combination, GHV Units, GHV Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants closed at $11.32, $10.86 and $2.13, respectively. On July 6, 2021, the trading date immediately prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the GHV Units, GHV Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants closed at $10.60, $10.13 and $2.02, respectively.

Q: Will the management of AMPSA change in the Merger?

A:
  No, the management of AMPSA is not expected to change following the consummation of the Merger. Prior to the consummation of the Merger, the directors of AMPSA are Paul Coulson, Shaun Murphy, Oliver Graham, David Matthews, Abigail Blunt, Yves Elsen, The Rt. Hon. The Lord Hammond of Runnymede, Hermanus Troskie and Edward White. Following the Merger, AMPSA's board of directors will expand from 9 to 11 directors and consist of Paul Coulson, Shaun Murphy, Oliver Graham, David Matthews, Abigail Blunt, Yves Elsen, Elizabeth Marcellino, Damien O'Brien, The Rt. Hon. The Lord Hammond of Runnymede, Hermanus Troskie and Edward White.

Q: What equity stake will current stockholders of the Company, Private Placement Investors and the AMPSA Shareholders hold in AMPSA after the Closing?

A:
  After the consummation of the Merger, and assuming that no shares of GHV are elected to be redeemed, it is anticipated: (i) the Public Stockholders (other than the Subscribers) will retain an ownership interest of approximately 8.6% in AMPSA; (ii) the Subscribers will own approximately 9.9% of AMPSA (such that Public Stockholders, including Subscribers, will own approximately 18.5% of AMPSA); (iii) the Initial Stockholders (including our Sponsor) will own approximately 1.6% of AMPSA; and (iv) AGSA will own approximately 79.9% of AMPSA.

Q: Will the Company or AMPSA raise new financing in connection with the Business Combination?

A:
  The Company will not obtain new financing in connection with the Business Combination, but AMPSA will consummate the PIPE and has consummated the Debt Financing as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The proceeds from the Debt Financing and the PIPE, together with funds in the Trust Account, will be used to pay the AGSA Consideration and certain transaction expenses. The PIPE is contingent upon, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver

17

of the closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement. Neither GHV nor AMPSA anticipates obtaining any additional debt financing to fund the Business Combination.

Q: What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Merger?

A:
  There are a number of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement, including the approval by our stockholders of the Merger Proposal. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the Merger, please see the section entitled "The Business Combination Agreement."

Q: Why is the Company proposing the Governance Proposal?

A:
  As required by applicable SEC guidance, we are requesting that our stockholders vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, a separate proposal with respect to certain provisions in AMPSA's articles of association because (i) the number of authorized shares under the AMPSA articles of association is greater than the number of authorized shares under GHV's current certificate of incorporation and (ii) the AMPSA articles of association include a compulsory share transfer provision. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Delaware law, but pursuant to SEC guidance, we are required to submit these provisions to our stockholders separately for approval. However, the stockholder vote regarding this proposal is an advisory vote, and is not binding on us or the GHV Board. Furthermore, the approval of the Merger Proposal is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Governance Proposal. AGSA will own approximately 80% of the outstanding AMPSA Shares upon completion of the Merger, and, as such, will have the right to initiate the compulsory share transfer as provided for in and in accordance with Article 13 of AMPSA's articles of association after the completion of the Merger. For additional information, please see the section entitled "GHV Stockholder Proposal No. 2—Governance Proposal.

Q: Why is the Company proposing the Adjournment Proposal?

A:
  We are proposing the Adjournment Proposal to allow the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus that the GHV Board has determined in good faith is required by applicable law to be disclosed to Company stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Company stockholders prior to the Special Meeting, (B) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of GHV Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Special Meeting or (C) to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Merger Proposal. Please see the section entitled "GHV Stockholder Proposal No. 3—The Adjournment Proposal" for additional information.

Q: What happens if I sell my shares of GHV Class A Common Stock before the Special Meeting?

A:
  The record date for the Special Meeting is earlier than the date that the Merger is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares of GHV Class A Common Stock after the record date, but before the Special Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting. However, you will not be able to seek redemption of your shares of GHV Class A Common Stock because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation upon consummation of the Merger. If you transfer your shares of GHV Class A Common Stock prior to the record date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the Special Meeting or redeem those shares for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in our Trust Account.

18

Q: What constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting?

A:
  A majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the GHV Common Stock entitled to vote as of the record date at the Special Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. Our Initial Stockholders, who currently own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock, will count towards this quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the Special Meeting has power to adjourn the Special Meeting. As of the record date for the Special Meeting, 32,812,501 shares of our GHV Common Stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q: What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting?

A:
  The approval of the Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Because our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote the shares of GHV Common Stock they own in favor of the Merger Proposal (which amount constitutes approximately 20% of our outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock), approximately 38% of the GHV Class A Common Stock held by the Public Stockholders will need to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal for the Merger Proposal to be approved (assuming all of such stockholders are represented in person via the virtual meeting platform or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting). Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote, with regard to the Merger Proposal will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Merger Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Merger Proposal. Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their shares of GHV Common Stock in favor of the Merger Proposal.

The approval of the Governance Proposal, which is a non-binding advisory vote, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Governance Proposal will have no effect on the Governance Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the Governance Proposal.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.

Q: What happens if the Merger Proposal is not approved?

A:
  Unless we amend our current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of all then outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock) and amend certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company, if the Merger Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by August 10, 2022, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account.

19

Q: May the Company, its Sponsor or the Company's directors or officers or their affiliates purchase shares in connection with the Business Combination?

A:
  In connection with the stockholder vote to adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Merger, our Sponsor, directors or officers or their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of our directors or officers or their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such selling stockholder, although still the record holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights, and could include a contractual provision that directs such selling stockholder to vote such shares in a manner directed by the purchaser. In the event that our Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

Additionally, in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor entered into a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which it has agreed to subscribe for up to an additional 9,500,000 AMPSA Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share in the event that redemptions of GHV's Class A Common Stock, if any, result in an aggregate redemption price of more than $1,000,000. See "Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Subscription Agreements."

Q: How many votes do I have at the Special Meeting?

A:
  Our stockholders are entitled to one vote on each proposal presented at the Special Meeting for each share of GHV Common Stock held of record as of June 29, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 65,625,000 outstanding shares of our GHV Common Stock.

Q: How do I vote?

A:
  If you were a holder of record of our GHV Common Stock on June 29, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, you may vote with respect to the proposals in person via the virtual meeting platform at the Special Meeting, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Voting by Mail. By signing the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the Special Meeting in the manner you indicate. We encourage you to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Special Meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. Votes submitted by mail must be received by 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 3, 2021.

Voting at the Special Meeting via the Virtual Meeting Platform. If you attend the Special Meeting and plan to vote in person via the virtual meeting platform, you will be provided with explicit instructions on how to vote in person via the virtual meeting platform. If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the stockholder of record and you have the

20

right to vote in person via the virtual meeting platform at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in "street name," which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person via the virtual meeting platform, you will need to contact your broker, bank or nominee to obtain a legal proxy that will authorize you to vote these shares. For additional information, please see the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2021 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders."

Q: What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the Special Meeting?

A:
  At the Special Meeting, we will count a properly executed proxy marked "ABSTAIN" with respect to a particular proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. For purposes of approval, a failure to vote or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Merger Proposal but will have no effect on the Governance Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal.

Q: What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A:
  Signed and dated proxies received by us without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted "FOR" each proposal presented to the stockholders. The proxyholders may use their discretion to vote on any other matters which properly come before the Special Meeting.

Q: If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting via the virtual meeting platform, should I return my proxy card instead?

A:
  Yes. Whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting or not, please read the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Q: If my shares are held in "street name," will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A:
  No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-routine matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe the proposals presented to the stockholders at this Special Meeting will be considered non-routine and, therefore, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction on any of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting. If you do not provide instructions with your proxy, your broker, bank, or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares; this indication that a broker, bank, or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a "broker non-vote." Broker non-votes will not be counted for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum or for purposes of determining the number of votes cast at the Special Meeting. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q: How will a broker non-vote impact the results of each proposal?

A:
  Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Merger Proposal.

21

Q: May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A:
  Yes. You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to our Secretary at the address listed below so that it is received by our Secretary prior to the Special Meeting or attend the Special Meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to our Secretary, which must be received by our Secretary prior to the Special Meeting.

Q: What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A:
  You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q: How will the Company's Sponsor, directors and officers vote?

A:
  Prior to our IPO, we entered into agreements with our Sponsor and each of our directors and officers, pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of GHV Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Merger Proposal. None of our Sponsor, directors or officers has purchased any shares of our GHV Common Stock during or after our IPO and, as of the date of this proxy statement, neither we nor our Sponsor, directors or officers have entered into agreements, and are not currently in negotiations, to purchase shares prior to the consummation of the Merger. Currently, our Initial Stockholders own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock, including all of the GHV Founder Shares, and will be able to vote all such shares at the Special Meeting.

Q: What interests do the Sponsor and the Company's current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

A:
  Our Sponsor and certain members of the GHV Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to GHV and the Merger—The exercise of discretion by our directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of our stockholders." You should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Merger Proposal. These interests include:
  •
    the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the GHV Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;
  •
    the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the GHV Founder Shares that will be exchanged for AMPSA Shares at the Merger Effective Time, and which AMPSA Shares would, if unrestricted and freely tradable, have a value of approximately $98 million at the Merger Effective Time (based on per share price of $10), but given the restrictions on such AMPSA Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, GHV believes such AMPSA Shares have less value;
  •
    the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their GHV Founder Shares if GHV fails to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;

22

•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $12,500,000 for its 6,250,000 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of GHV Class A Common Stock, and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire and become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by August 10, 2022;
•
  if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event GHV is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the GHV Sponsor has agreed to indemnify GHV to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which GHV has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to GHV, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;
•
  the continued indemnification of GHV's existing directors and officers and the purchase of a tail policy with respect to GHV's directors' and officers' existing liability insurance;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in GHV and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if GHV does not consummate an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has the right to nominate two independent directors to AMPSA's board of directors as of the Closing;
•
  that, at the closing of the Merger, GHV will enter into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, which provides for registration rights to the holders of AMPSA Shares that are parties thereto and their permitted transferees;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor and members of the GHV Board and management would hold the following number of shares in AMPSA at the Closing:

Name of Person/Entity |  | Number of AMPSA Shares |  | Value of AMPSA Shares(1) |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Gores Sponsor V LLC |  |  | 9,768,750(2) |  | $ | 97,687,500 |
Alec E. Gores |  |  | 9,928,250(3) |  | $ | 99,282,500 |

William Patton |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |
Jeffrey Rea |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |

(1)
  Based on a per share price of $10.00.
(2)
  Excluding the GHV Sponsor Backstop.
(3)
  Represents (i) 159,500 shares that Mr. Gores has committed to purchase in the PIPE, plus (ii) 9,768,750 shares held by GHV Sponsor which is controlled indirectly by Mr. Gores. Mr. Gores ultimately exercises voting and dispositive power of the securities held by GHV Sponsor. Voting and disposition decisions with respect to such securities are made by Mr. Gores. Mr. Gores disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.

•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has entered into a Subscription Agreement with AMPSA and GHV, pursuant to which the GHV Sponsor has committed to purchase 2.5 million AMPSA Shares in the PIPE for an aggregate commitment of approximately $25 million, provided that the GHV Sponsor has the right to syndicate the AMPSA Shares purchased under such Subscription Agreement in advance of the Closing;

23

•
  that an affiliate of the GHV Sponsor, Mr. Alec E. Gores, has committed to purchase 159,500 AMPSA Shares in the PIPE for an aggregate commitment of approximately $1,595,000 in connection with the syndication by the GHV Sponsor of its portion of the PIPE; and
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has committed to acquire up to 9.5 million AMPSA Shares at a per share price of $10.00 in the event that there are redemptions from the Trust Account that are in excess of $1 million.

Q: Did the GHV Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Merger?

A:
  Yes. Although our current certificate of incorporation does not require the GHV Board to seek a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with a business combination unless the target business is affiliated with our Sponsor, directors or officers, the GHV Board received a fairness opinion from Duff & Phelps as to the fairness from a financial point of view to GHV, as of the date of such opinion, of the consideration in the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled "The Business Combination—Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor" and the opinion of Duff & Phelps attached hereto as Annex B for additional information.

Q: What happens if I vote against the Merger Proposal?

A:
  If you vote against the Merger Proposal but the Merger Proposal still obtains the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting, then the Merger Proposal will be approved and, assuming the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to closing, the Merger will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

If you vote against the Merger Proposal and the Merger Proposal does not obtain the affirmative vote of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, then the Merger Proposal will fail and we will not consummate the Merger. If we do not consummate the Merger, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until August 10, 2022. Unless we amend our current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of all then outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock) and amend certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company, if we fail to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, then we will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to our Public Stockholders.

Q: If I am a holder of shares of GHV Class A Common Stock, how will I receive the AMPSA Shares to which I am entitled?

A:
  Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, by virtue of the Merger, each share of GHV Class A Common Stock will be exchanged for one AMPSA Share in accordance with Section 251(b)(5) of the DGCL and the Business Combination Agreement. If you are a holder of record of book-entry shares of GHV Class A Common Stock ("book-entry shares"), you do not need to do anything to effect this exchange or to receive your AMPSA Shares. If your book-entry shares are not held through DTC, the exchange agent will deliver to you, as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, (i) a notice advising you of the effectiveness of the Merger and (ii) a statement reflecting the AMPSA Shares you are entitled to receive pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. If your book-entry shares are held through DTC, AMPSA, the exchange agent and DTC will establish procedures to ensure that your book-entry shares eligible to be exchanged for AMPSA Shares are so exchanged as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date.

24

If you are a holder of record of certificates representing shares of GHV Class A Common Stock, as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, the exchange agent will send you (i) a notice advising you of the effectiveness of the Merger and (ii) a letter of transmittal and instructions on how to surrender your certificates in exchange for AMPSA Shares. After receiving the proper documentation from you, the exchange agent will send to you a statement reflecting the AMPSA Shares you will receive pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

Q: Do I have redemption rights?

A:
  If you are a holder of Public Shares, you may redeem your Public Shares for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Merger, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes, by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding Public Shares; provided that the Company will not redeem any shares of GHV Class A Common Stock issued in the IPO to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) in excess of $5,000,000. A Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group's shares, in excess of 20% of the shares of GHV Class A Common Stock included in the GHV Units sold in our IPO. Holders of our outstanding Public Warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the Merger. Our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their shares of GHV Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Merger, and the GHV Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our GHV Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Merger. For illustrative purposes, based on the balance of our Trust Account of $525,033,518 as of March 31, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00. Additionally, shares properly tendered for redemption will only be redeemed if the Merger is consummated; otherwise holders of such shares will only be entitled to a pro rata portion of the Trust Account (including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes) in connection with the liquidation of the Trust Account, unless we complete an alternative business combination prior to August 10, 2022 or we amend our current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock) and amend certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company.

Q: Can the Company's Initial Stockholders redeem their GHV Founder Shares in connection with consummation of the Merger?

A:
  No. Our Initial Stockholders, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their shares of GHV Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Merger. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our GHV Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Merger.

Q: Is there a limit on the number of shares I may redeem?

A:
  Yes. A Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of

25

the Exchange Act), is restricted from exercising redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares sold in our IPO. Accordingly, all shares in excess of 20% owned by a holder or "group" of holders will not be redeemed for cash. On the other hand, a Public Stockholder who holds less than 20% of the Public Shares and is not a member of a "group" may redeem all of the Public Shares held by such stockholder for cash (subject to our requirement to have net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) in excess of $5,000,000).

In no event is your ability to vote all of your shares (including those shares held by you or by a "group" in excess of 20% of the shares sold in our IPO) for or against the Merger Proposal restricted.

We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under our current certificate of incorporation, other than the aforementioned 20% threshold. Each redemption of shares of GHV Class A Common Stock by our Public Stockholders will reduce the amount in our Trust Account, which held cash and investment securities with a fair value of $525,033,518 as of March 31, 2021. Taking into account the anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $600,000,000 from the PIPE as well as the GHV Sponsor Backstop, all Public Stockholders could redeem their shares and the Minimum Cash Closing Conditions in the Business Combination Agreement could still be satisfied. However, in no event will we redeem shares of our GHV Class A Common Stock in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets exceeding $5,000,000, and so given the foregoing assumptions, the maximum number of shares we could redeem is 52,000,019 shares of GHV Class A Common Stock.

Q: Is there a limit on the total number of shares that may be redeemed?

A:
  Yes. Our current certificate of incorporation provides that we may not redeem our Public Shares in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000 (such that we are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the Business Combination Agreement. Other than this limitation, our current certificate of incorporation does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold.

Assuming the amount of $525,033,518 in our Trust Account as of March 31, 2021, if all 52,500,000 shares of GHV Class A Common Stock are redeemed, they would be redeemed at a per share price of approximately $10.00. Taking into account the anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $600,000,000 from the PIPE as well as the GHV Sponsor Backstop, even if all Public Stockholders redeem their shares, the Minimum Cash Closing Conditions in the Business Combination Agreement could still be satisfied. However, in no event will we redeem shares of our GHV Class A Common Stock in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000, and so given the foregoing assumptions, the maximum number of shares we could redeem is 52,000,019 shares of GHV Class A Common Stock.

Q: How will the absence of a maximum redemption threshold affect the Merger?

A:
  The Business Combination Agreement provides for the Minimum Cash Closing Conditions. As a result, assuming the consummation of the PIPE (including, if applicable, the GHV Sponsor Backstop), we may be able to complete our proposed Merger Proposal even if all or a substantial portion of our Public Stockholders redeem their shares or enter into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of Public Shares by the Company or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. We will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose

26

private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Merger Proposal or other proposals (as described in this proxy statement) at the Special Meeting. See "The Business Combination Agreement—Conditions to Closing the Merger."

Q: Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A:
  No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your shares of GHV Common Stock for or against, or whether you abstain from voting on the Merger Proposal or any other proposal described by this proxy statement. As a result, the Merger Proposal can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain stockholders, leaving stockholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less-liquid trading market, fewer stockholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of NYSE.

Q: How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:
  In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must (i) if you hold GHV Units, separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, and (ii) prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 30, 2021 (two business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attention: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Please check the box on the enclosed proxy card marked "Stockholder Certification" if you are not acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of GHV Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the Public Shares, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom it, she or he is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from exercising redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares of GHV Class A Common Stock included in the GHV Units sold in our IPO. Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of the 20% threshold beneficially owned by a Public Stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash.

Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, we do not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name" are required to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in these proxy materials, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian ("DWAC") system, at such stockholder's option. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery

27

prior to the Special Meeting ensures that a redeeming stockholder's election to redeem is irrevocable once the Merger Proposal is approved.

There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge a tendering broker a fee and it is in the broker's discretion whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require stockholders seeking to exercise redemption rights to tender their shares, as the need to deliver shares is a requirement to exercising redemption rights, regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.

Q: What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:
  The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the redemption depends on particular facts and circumstances. Please see the section entitled "GHV Stockholder Proposal No. 1—Merger Proposal—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations." We urge you to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights.

Q: If I am a Company warrant holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Public Warrants?

A:
  No. The holders of our Public Warrants have no redemption rights with respect to our Public Warrants.

Q: What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger to U.S. holders of GHV Common Stock and/or GHV?

A:
  As described more fully under the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations," it is expected that the Merger, taken together with certain related transactions, should qualify as an exchange governed by Section 351 of the Code. GHV's obligation to effect the Merger is conditioned on the receipt by AMPSA of a written tax opinion from KPMG LLP, dated as of the closing date of the Merger, providing that for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Merger, taken together with certain related transactions, should qualify as a transaction under Section 351 of the Code and should not subject the GHV stockholders to tax under Section 367 of the Code (subject to entry into gain recognition agreements by any such stockholders required to enter into such agreements to preserve tax-free treatment under Section 367 of the Code) (the "Tax Opinion"). This condition is waivable by GHV, and GHV undertakes to circulate a new or amended proxy statement or supplement thereto and resolicit the vote of GHV's stockholders with respect to the Merger Proposal if this condition is waived and the change in tax consequences is material. Such opinion will be based on customary assumptions and on representations made by AGSA and GHV, as well as certain covenants and undertakings by AGSA and GHV. If any of the assumptions, representations, covenants or undertakings by AGSA or GHV is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate or is violated, the accuracy of the opinion described above may be affected and the tax consequences of the Merger could differ from those described herein. An opinion by KPMG LLP is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or any court. Neither AGSA nor GHV intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger. Accordingly, even if AMPSA receives the Tax Opinion, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions reflected in the opinion or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.

  The appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of the disposition of GHV Warrants in exchange for AMPSA Warrants in connection with the Merger is uncertain. It is possible that a U.S. holder (as defined in "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations") of GHV Warrants

28

could be treated as exchanging such GHV Warrants for "new" warrants. If so treated, a U.S. holder could be required to recognize gain or loss in such deemed exchange in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the AMPSA Warrants held by such U.S. holder immediately following the Merger and the adjusted tax basis of the GHV Warrants held by such U.S. holder immediately prior to the Merger. Alternatively, it is also possible that a U.S. holder of GHV Warrants could be treated as transferring its GHV Warrants and shares of GHV Common Stock to AMPSA for AMPSA Warrants and AMPSA Shares in an exchange governed only by Section 351 of the Code (and not by Section 368 of the Code). If so treated, a U.S. holder should be required to recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of gain realized by such holder (generally, the excess of (x) the sum of the fair market values of the AMPSA Warrants treated as received by such holder and the AMPSA Shares received by such holder over (y) such holder's aggregate adjusted tax basis in the GHV Warrants and GHV Common Stock treated as having been exchanged therefor) and (ii) the fair market value of the AMPSA Warrants treated as having been received by such holder in such exchange. However, if the deemed transfer of GHV Warrants also qualifies as part of a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, subject to Section 367(a) of the Code as discussed below, a U.S. holder of GHV Warrants generally should not recognize any gain or loss on any such deemed transfer of GHV Warrants. However, the requirements for qualification of the Merger as a "reorganization" under Section 368 of the Code are more stringent in certain respects than the requirements for qualification as an exchange under Section 351 of the Code. While not free from doubt, GHV and AMPSA intend to report the exchange of GHV Warrants for AMPSA Warrants as not qualifying as part of a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. U.S. holders of GHV Warrants are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the treatment of their GHV Warrants in connection with the Merger.

If, however, the exchange by GHV stockholders of GHV Common Stock for AMPSA Shares in the Merger does not qualify for nonrecognition of gain or loss under Section 351(a) or Section 368 of the Code, then a U.S. holder would generally recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the fair market value of the AMPSA Shares (and, if such U.S. holder is also surrendering GHV Warrants, AMPSA Warrants) received and (ii) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such GHV Common Stock (and GHV Warrants, if any). If the transfer is described in Section 351(a) or Section 368 of the Code but it is determined that Section 367(a) of the Code applies to the transfer of GHV Common Stock, then a U.S, holder would generally recognize gain (but not loss) to the extent that gain would have been recognized if such transfer did not qualify for non-recognition under Section 351(a) or Section 368 of the Code.

The summary above is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed discussion provided in the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations." We urge you to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to you of the Merger.

Q: Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the Merger Proposal?

A:
  No. Appraisal rights are not available to holders of our GHV Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

Q: What happens to the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Merger?

A:
  The funds held in the Trust Account (together with the proceeds from the PIPE) will be used to (a) pay a portion of the AGSA Consideration and (b) pay GHV stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights.

29

Q: What happens if the Merger is not consummated?

A:
  There are certain circumstances under which the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated. Please see the section entitled "The Business Combination Agreement" for information regarding the parties' specific termination rights.

If we do not consummate the Merger, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until August 10, 2022. Unless we amend our current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of all then outstanding shares of GHV Class A Common Stock) and amend certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company, if we fail to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, then we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements plus Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish our Public Stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and the GHV Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the IPO. Please see the section entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to GHV and the Merger."

Holders of our GHV Founder Shares have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to such shares. In addition, if we fail to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our outstanding warrants, which will expire worthless.

Q: When is the Merger expected to be completed?

A:
  The closing of the Merger is expected to take place on or prior to the third business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described below in the subsection entitled "The Business Combination Agreement—Conditions to Closing of the Merger." Following the Closing, MergeCo will merge with and into GHV, with GHV being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA, and all shares of GHV Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, other than any Excluded Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), will be contributed to AMPSA in exchange for AMPSA Shares, and all GHV Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be converted into AMPSA Warrants. The completion of the Merger is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2021. The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by AGSA or GHV if the Closing has not occurred by September 30, 2021.

For a description of the conditions to the completion of the Merger, see the section entitled "The Business Combination Agreement—Conditions to Closing the Merger."

Q: Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting?

The Company has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC ("Morrow") to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. The Company has agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $37,500, plus disbursements, and will reimburse Morrow for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses.

Parties to the Business Combination Agreement

Gores Holdings V, Inc.

Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A.

AMPSA is one of the leading suppliers of consumer metal beverage cans in the world and believes that it holds the #2 or #3 market positions in Europe, the United States and Brazil. The global beverage can industry is a large, consumer-driven industry with attractive growth characteristics. AMPSA's end-use categories include beer, carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, hard seltzers, juices, pre-mixed cocktails, teas, sparkling waters and wine. Its customers include a wide variety of leading beverage producers, which value its packaging products for their convenience and quality, as well as the end-user appeal they offer through design, innovation and brand promotion. With AMPSA's significant invested capital base, supported by consistent levels of re-investment, its extensive technical capabilities and manufacturing know-how, AMPSA believes it is well-positioned to continue to meet the dynamic needs of its global customers.

AMPSA was incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on January 20, 2021 as a public limited liability company (société anonyme) having its registered office at 56, rue Charles Martel, L-2134 Luxembourg, Luxembourg and registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce and Companies (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés de Luxembourg) under number B 251465. After the consummation of the Merger, its principal executive office will remain at 56, rue Charles Martel, L-2134 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

The mailing address of AMPSA's principal executive office is 56, rue Charles Martel, L-2134 Luxembourg, Luxembourg and its telephone number is +352 26 25 85 55. Prior to the consummation of the Merger, the directors of AMPSA are Paul Coulson, Shaun Murphy, Oliver Graham, David Matthews, Abigail Blunt, Yves Elsen, The Rt. Hon. The Lord Hammond of Runnymede, Hermanus Troskie and Edward White.

AMPSA expects to apply to list the AMPSA Shares and AMPSA Warrants on NYSE under the symbols "AMBP" and "AMBPW," respectively.

Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, AMPSA will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. As long as AMPSA continues to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, AMPSA will be

32

exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

•
  the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;
•
  the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and
•
  the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

In addition, AMPSA will not be required to file annual reports and financial statements with the SEC as promptly as U.S. domestic companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, and will not be required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information.

Further, AMPSA will be exempt from certain corporate governance requirements of NYSE by virtue of being a foreign private issuer. Although AMPSA's foreign private issuer status exempts it from most of NYSE's corporate governance requirements, AMPSA intends to voluntarily comply with these requirements, except those from which AMPSA would be exempt by virtue of being a "controlled company." Following the consummation of the Merger, AGSA will continue to control, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting power of AMPSA's issued and outstanding shares and thus AMPSA will be a controlled company within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards. Under these NYSE standards, AMPSA may elect not to comply with certain NYSE corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that:

•
  a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors;
•
  the compensation committee be composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities;
•
  the nominating and governance committee be composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities; and
•
  there be an annual performance evaluation of the compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees.

Following the consummation of the Merger, AMPSA intends to utilize certain of these exemptions. Although AMPSA will have adopted charters for its audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees, its compensation and nominating and governance committees are not expected to be composed solely of independent directors. For more information about AMPSA, see the sections entitled "Information About AMPSA" and "AMPSA Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation."

Interests of GHV Initial Stockholders and GHV's Other Current Officers and Directors

In considering the recommendation of the GHV Board to vote for the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal, you should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, GHV's Sponsor and certain members of its Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of GHV's stockholders generally. The GHV Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and transaction agreements and in recommending

39

to its stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

•
  the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the GHV Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the GHV Founder Shares that will be exchanged for AMPSA Shares at the Merger Effective Time, and which AMPSA Shares would, if unrestricted and freely tradable, have a value of approximately $98 million at the Merger Effective Time (based on per share price of $10.00), but given the restrictions on such AMPSA Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, GHV believes such AMPSA Shares have less value;
•
  the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their GHV Founder Shares if GHV fails to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $12,500,000 for its 6,250,000 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of GHV Class A Common Stock, and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire and become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by August 10, 2022;
•
  if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event GHV is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the GHV Sponsor has agreed to indemnify GHV to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which GHV has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to GHV, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;
•
  the continued indemnification of GHV's existing directors and officers and the purchase of a tail policy with respect to GHV's directors' and officers' existing liability insurance;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in GHV and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if GHV does not consummate an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has the right to nominate two independent directors to AMPSA's board of directors as of the Closing;
•
  that, at the closing of the Merger, GHV will enter into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, which provides for registration rights to the holders of AMPSA Shares that are parties thereto and their permitted transferees;

40

•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor and members of the GHV Board and management would hold the following number of shares in AMPSA at the Closing:

Name of Person/Entity |  | Number of AMPSA Shares |  | Value of AMPSA Shares(1) |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Gores Sponsor V LLC |  |  | 9,768,750 | (2) | $ | 97,687,500 |

William Patton |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |
Jeffrey Rea |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |

(1)
  Based on a per share price of $10.00.
(2)
  Excluding the GHV Sponsor Backstop.
(3)
  Represents (i) 159,500 shares that Mr. Gores has committed to purchase in the PIPE, plus (ii) 9,768,750 shares held by GHV Sponsor which is controlled indirectly by Mr. Gores. Mr. Gores ultimately exercises voting and dispositive power of the securities held by GHV Sponsor. Voting and disposition decisions with respect to such securities are made by Mr. Gores. Mr. Gores disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.

•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has entered into a Subscription Agreement with AMPSA and GHV, pursuant to which the GHV Sponsor has committed to purchase 2.5 million AMPSA Shares in the PIPE for an aggregate commitment of approximately $25 million, provided that the GHV Sponsor has the right to syndicate the AMPSA Shares purchased under such Subscription Agreement in advance of the Closing;
•
  that an affiliate of the GHV Sponsor, Mr. Alec E. Gores, has committed to purchase 159,500 AMPSA Shares in the PIPE for an aggregate commitment of approximately $1,595,000 in connection with the syndication by the GHV Sponsor of its portion of the PIPE; and
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has committed to acquire up to 9.5 million AMPSA Shares at a per share price of $10.00 in the event that there are redemptions from the Trust Account that are in excess of $1 million.

GHV's Board of Directors' Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

GHV was formed for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination with one or more businesses. GHV sought to do this by utilizing the networks and industry experience of both its Sponsor and its Board to identify, acquire and operate one or more businesses within or outside of the United States, although GHV was not limited to a particular industry or sector.

In particular, the GHV Board considered the following positive factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

•
  Pre-eminent Pure Play Beverage Can Company. The GHV Board noted that the AMP Business is a pure play leader in the beverage can industry with its focus on sustainability, innovation and infinitely recyclable products. The GHV Board believes that this strong market position and customer and product mix positions the AMP Business as a leader in the industry and that it will continue to expand its sold volume and increase market share.
•
  Long-Term Industry Megatrends and Environmentally-Conscious End Consumers Driving Inflection Point in Beverage Can Demand. The GHV Board noted the convergence of multiple factors, including growth with emerging categories such as health and wellness, hard seltzers, sparkling waters and coffee and tea, the advantages of aluminum can packaging, as well as the importance

41

of sustainability and regulatory changes, which should lead to additional growth opportunities across geographies. Additionally, due to the fast growing demand and current supply shortage in the beverage can industry, the structural shift from plastic and glass to beverage cans and the increased use of recyclable packaging as a key focus for large consumer products, the GHV Board believes that AMPSA has significant growth potential.

•
  Leader in Sustainability. The GHV Board noted that a core tenet of AGSA's corporate philosophy for a number of years has been a focus on being a leader environmentally, ecologically and socially. AGSA began issuing sustainability reports in 2013 and has a Chief Sustainability Officer who is driving AGSA and AMPSA towards an ambitious set of sustainability targets. The GHV Board also noted that aluminum cans have the ability to achieve 100% recyclability, whereas substitute products such as glass and plastic achieve lower rates. The GHV Board believes that AMPSA's strong corporate focus on sustainability coupled with environmentally conscious customers and end consumers positions AMPSA to deliver continued growth in an environmentally friendly manner.
•
  Multifaceted Growth Opportunity Backed by Long-Term Customer Contracts. The GHV Board was aware that the AMP Business has long term relationships with key customers that span decades.
•
  Compelling Financial Profile. The GHV Board noted that AMPSA's financial profile is positioned for sustainable expansion with current and new customers and in new and emerging product categories. Additionally, the GHV Board believes AMPSA is positioned for significant margin expansion resulting from longer contracts, favorable customer and product mix trends, higher growth in specialty cans and continued network efficiency improvements and operating leverage from expanding capacity in existing facilities.
•
  Entrepreneurial Owner Manager Culture. The GHV Board considered that AMPSA is managed by a team with extensive experience in the industry that has a sustained track record of delivering shareholder value, and that this team will be in place upon the closing of the Merger. Additionally, the GHV Board believes that AMPSA's proven management team and strategy will help enable AMPSA to deliver continued industry-leading growth.
•
  Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor. The GHV Board took into account the opinion of Duff & Phelps, dated February 22, 2021, addressed to the GHV Board as to the fairness from a financial point of view to GHV, as of the date of such opinion, of the consideration in the Business Combination, which opinion was based on and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications set forth in such opinion as more fully described above under the caption "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor."
•
  Other Alternatives. The GHV Board believed, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to GHV, that the Merger represents the best potential business combination for GHV based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets. The GHV Board and GHV management also believed that such processes had not presented a better alternative.
•
  Due Diligence. The results of GHV's due diligence investigation of AMPSA conducted by GHV's management team and its financial and legal advisors.
•
  Stockholder Approval. The GHV Board considered the fact that, in connection with the Merger, GHV stockholders have the option to (i) become and remain stockholders of AMPSA, (ii) sell their shares of GHV Class A Common Stock or, following the closing of the Merger, their AMPSA Shares, on the open market or (iii) redeem their GHV Class A Common Stock for the per share amount held in the Trust Account pursuant to the terms of GHV's existing certificate of incorporation.

42

•
  Negotiated Terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The GHV Board considered the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.
•
  Independent Director Role. The GHV Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with the GHV Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group. In connection with the Business Combination, GHV's independent directors, Messrs. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea, took an active role in evaluating the proposed terms of the Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement and the Related Agreements. GHV's independent directors evaluated and unanimously approved, as members of the GHV Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

The GHV Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

•
  Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved, or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.
•
  Liquidation of GHV. The risks and costs to GHV if the Merger is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other initial business combination opportunities, which, if the Merger is not consummated, could result in GHV being unable to effect an initial business combination by August 10, 2022 and force GHV to liquidate and the Public Warrants to expire worthless.
•
  Stockholder Vote. The risk that GHV's stockholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to effect the Merger.
•
  Closing Conditions. The fact that completion of the Merger is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within GHV's control.
•
  Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Merger or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.
•
  Fees and Expenses. The fact that the fees and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be borne by GHV if the Merger is not consummated.
•
  Other Risks. Various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of GHV, the business of AMPSA and ownership of AMPSA's shares following the Merger described under the section entitled "Risk Factors."

In addition to considering the factors described above, the GHV Board also considered that:

•
  Interests of Certain Persons. Some of the GHV officers and directors may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of GHV stockholders (see "The Business Combination—Interests of GHV Initial Stockholders and GHV's Other Current Officers and Directors"). GHV's independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination Agreement and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the GHV Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

For more information about GHV's decision-making process, please see the section entitled "The Business Combination—The Company's Board of Directors' Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination."

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to GHV's current certificate of incorporation, holders of Public Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Merger, including interest not previously released to GHV to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes, by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding Public Shares; provided that GHV will not redeem any shares of GHV Class A Common Stock issued in the IPO to the extent that such redemption would result in GHV's failure to have net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) in excess of $5,000,000 or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the Business Combination Agreement. As of December 31, 2020, the redemption price would have been approximately $10.00 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the Public Shares, together with any affiliate of his or her or any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)-(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from exercising redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares of GHV Class A Common Stock included in the units sold in GHV's IPO.

If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of GHV Class A Common Stock for cash and will not own shares of AMPSA following the Merger. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to GHV's transfer agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. Please see the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2021 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders—Redemption Rights" for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

AMPSA's Public Float

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the PIPE and the Merger, the AMPSA Shares will be owned in the percentages set forth below, assuming no redemption of any shares of GHV Class A Common Stock. If any shares of GHV Class A Common Stock are redeemed, the percentage ownership amounts set forth below will be different, as, among other things, AGSA may receive additional AMPSA Shares (based on a $10.00 per share price) for every dollar of cash less than $3,400,000,000 it receives pursuant to the Transfer Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement. The following table illustrates the ownership levels in AMPSA (excluding the impact of the 16,750,000 shares underlying the AMPSA Warrants and the 60,730,000 Earnout Shares) immediately after the Closing based on the assumptions described above:

|  | No Redemptions of Public Shares |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | Number |  | Percentage |
Public Stockholders (former GHV stockholders) |  |  | 52,500,000 |  |  | 8.6 | %
Initial Stockholders (including the Sponsor) |  |  | 9,843,750 |  |  | 1.6 | %
AGSA |  |  | 484,956,250 |  |  | 79.9 | %
PIPE Subscribers |  |  | 60,000,000 |  |  | 9.9 | %
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total |  |  | 607,300,000 |  |  | 100.0 | %

Following the Merger, AMPSA's board of directors will expand from 9 to 11 directors and consist of Paul Coulson, Shaun Murphy, Oliver Graham, David Matthews, Abigail Blunt, Yves Elsen, Elizabeth Marcellino, Damien O'Brien, The Rt. Hon. The Lord Hammond of Runnymede, Hermanus Troskie and Edward White. Please see the section entitled "Management of AMPSA."

Material Tax Consequences

For a detailed discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences and Luxembourg tax consequences of the Business Combination, see the sections titled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Material Luxembourg Tax Considerations" in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

As the first step within the Business Combination, AGSA undertook the Pre-Closing Restructuring whereby AGSA effected a series of transactions that resulted in among other things, (a) the AMP Business being wholly owned by AMPSA and (b) any assets and liabilities relating to the business of

47

AGSA (other than the AMP Business) that are held by the AMP Entities being transferred to subsidiaries of AGSA that are not the AMP Entities, and assets and liabilities relating to the AMP Business that are held by subsidiaries of AGSA (other than the AMP Entities) being transferred to the AMP Entities. These transactions are accounted for as a capital reorganization as, prior to the Pre-Closing Restructuring, AMPSA did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 (Business Combination). Under a capital reorganization, the consolidated financial statements of AMPSA reflect the net assets transferred at pre-combination predecessor book values. Following this first step, AMPSA continues to be a wholly owned subsidiary of AGSA.

The capital reorganization will be followed at closing by a Merger whereby MergeCo (a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA) will merge with and into GHV, with GHV being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA. This Merger transaction will be accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 (Share-based Payment). Under this method of accounting, there is no acquisition accounting and no recognition of goodwill, as GHV is not considered a business as defined by IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) given it consists predominantly of cash in the Trust Account. Under this method of accounting, GHV will be treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. In order to reach this conclusion, the following factors were also taken into consideration: (i) the business will comprise the ongoing operations of AMPSA; (ii) senior management will comprise the senior management of AMPSA; and (iii) the pre-Business Combination shareholders of AMPSA will have the largest ownership of AMPSA and the right to appoint the highest number of board members relative to other shareholders.

In accordance with IFRS 2, the difference in the fair value of the consideration (shares and warrants issued by AMPSA) for the acquisition of GHV over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of GHV will represent a service for listing of AMPSA and be accounted for as an expense for a share-based payment. The consideration for the acquisition of GHV was determined using the closing prices of GHV's publicly traded GHV Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols "GRSV" and "GRSVW" in addition to the calculated fair value, using a Black Scholes valuation, of Private Placement Warrants, each as of June 17, 2021.

Other Stockholder Proposals

In addition, the stockholders of GHV will be asked to vote on:

•
  a proposal, on a non-binding advisory basis, with respect to certain provisions in AMPSA's articles of association because (i) the number of authorized shares under the AMPSA articles of association is greater than the number of authorized shares under GHV's current certificate of incorporation and (ii) the AMPSA articles of association include a compulsory share transfer provision (Proposal No. 2); and
•
  a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus that the GHV Board has determined in good faith is required by applicable law to be disclosed to GHV stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to GHV stockholders prior to the Special Meeting, (B) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of GHV Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Special Meeting or (C) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Merger Proposal (Proposal No. 3).

Please see the sections entitled "GHV Stockholder Proposal No. 2—Governance Proposal" and "GHV Stockholder Proposal No. 3—The Adjournment Proposal" for more information.

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting

In light of public health concerns regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Special Meeting will be held via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/goresholdingsv/sm2021, on August 3, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The Special Meeting can be accessed by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/goresholdingsv/sm2021, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live and vote during the meeting. Additionally, you have the option to listen only to the Special Meeting by dialing 1 877-770-3647 (toll-free within the U.S. and Canada) or +1 312-780-0854 (outside of the U.S. and Canada, standard rates apply). The passcode for telephone access is 11309999#, but you cannot vote or ask questions if you choose to participate telephonically. Please note that you will only be able to access the Special Meeting by means of remote communication.

Voting Power; Record Date

Only GHV stockholders of record at the close of business on June 29, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of GHV Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in "street name" or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were 65,625,000 shares of GHV Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, of which 52,500,000 are shares of GHV Class A Common Stock and 13,125,000 are GHV Founder Shares held by GHV's Initial Stockholders.

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal rights are not available to GHV's stockholders in connection with the Merger.

Proxy Solicitation

GHV is soliciting proxies on behalf of its Board. Proxies may be solicited by mail. GHV has engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a stockholder grants a proxy, it, she or he may still vote their shares in person if they revoke their proxy before the Special Meeting. A stockholder may also change its, hers or his vote by submitting a later-dated proxy, as described in the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2021 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders—Revoking Your Proxy."

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

A quorum of GHV stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of GHV's Common Stock outstanding on the record date and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

The approval of the Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Because our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote the shares of GHV Common Stock they own in favor of the Merger Proposal (which amount constitutes approximately 20% of our outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock), approximately 38% of the GHV Class A Common Stock held by the Public Stockholders will need to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal for the Merger Proposal to be approved (assuming all of such stockholders are represented in person via the virtual meeting platform or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting). The approval of the Governance Proposal, which is a non-binding advisory vote, and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock represented in person or by proxy

49

and entitled to vote. Accordingly, a GHV stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Merger Proposal, but will have no effect on the Governance Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. GHV's Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their shares of GHV Common Stock in favor of the Merger Proposal.

The Merger is conditioned on the approval of the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting. The Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

It is important for you to note that in the event that the Merger Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, GHV will not consummate the Merger. Unless GHV amends its current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock) and amends certain other agreements into which it has entered to extend the life of GHV, if GHV does not consummate the Merger and fails to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, it will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to its Public Stockholders.

Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor

At the meeting of the GHV Board on February 22, 2021 to evaluate and approve the Business Combination, Duff & Phelps delivered an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated February 22, 2021, addressed to the GHV Board to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions, conditions and limitations set forth in the opinion, the consideration in the Business Combination was fair, from a financial point of view, to GHV.

The full text of Duff & Phelps' written opinion dated February 22, 2021, is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus and describes the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by Duff & Phelps. The summary of Duff & Phelps' opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. The opinion was furnished for the benefit of the GHV Board of Directors (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the Business Combination, and is not intended to, and does not, confer any rights or remedies upon any other person, and is not intended to be used, and may not be used, by any other person or for any other purpose, without Duff & Phelps' express consent. Neither Duff & Phelps' opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus is intended to be or constitutes a recommendation to any stockholder of GHV as to how such holder should act with respect to the Merger Proposal.

For more information, see the section entitled "The Business Combination—Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor" of this proxy statement/prospectus and Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Independent Director Oversight

The GHV Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with its Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group. In connection with the Business Combination, GHV's independent directors, Messrs. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea, took an active role in evaluating the proposed terms of the Business Combination, including the Business Combination Agreement and the Related Agreements. As part of their evaluation of the Business Combination, GHV's independent directors were aware of the potential conflicts of interest with its Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group, that could arise with regard to the proposed terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE. The GHV Board did not deem it necessary to, and did not form, a special committee of the Board to exclusively evaluate and negotiate

50

the proposed terms of the Business Combination, as the Board is comprised of a majority of independent and disinterested directors and did not deem the formation of a special committee necessary or appropriate. GHV's independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled "GHV Stockholder Proposal No. 1—Merger Proposal—Independent Director Oversight."

Recommendation to GHV Stockholders

The GHV Board believes that the Merger Proposal, the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to be presented at the Special Meeting are in the best interests of GHV and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote "FOR" each of the proposals.

When you consider the recommendation of the GHV Board in favor of approval of the Merger Proposal, you should keep in mind that GHV's Sponsor and certain members of its Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal. Please see the section entitled "The Business Combination—Interests of GHV Initial Stockholders and GHV's Other Current Officers and Directors."

Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors." The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in that section, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may have a material adverse effect on (i) the ability of GHV and AMPSA to complete the Business Combination, and (ii) the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of AMPSA prior to the consummation of the Merger and following consummation of the Merger. Certain of the risks related to GHV and AMPSA are summarized below:

GHV

•
  The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal described in this proxy statement/prospectus, regardless of how the Public Stockholders vote.
•
  The GHV Sponsor, certain members of the GHV Board and GHV's officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or are in addition to other stockholders in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Merger Proposal and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.
•
  The GHV Sponsor, AGSA, and each of their respective affiliates and their respective directors or officers may elect to purchase shares from Public Stockholders, which may influence a vote on the Merger Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus and reduce the public "float" of the GHV Class A Common Stock (or, following the Closing, the AMPSA Shares).
•
  The GHV stockholders will experience substantial dilution as a consequence of the Merger. Having a minority share position will significantly reduce the influence that GHV's current stockholders have on the management of AMPSA relative to the current GHV stockholders' influence on the management of GHV.
•
  GHV has no operating history and is subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement. As such, there is a risk that GHV will be unable to continue as a going

51

concern if GHV does not consummate an initial business combination by August 10, 2022. Unless GHV amends its current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock) and amends certain other agreements into which it has entered to extend the life of GHV, if GHV is unable to effect an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, GHV will be forced to liquidate and the GHV Warrants will expire worthless.

•
  The ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of key personnel, including AMPSA's key personnel whom GHV expects to stay with AMPSA following the Business Combination. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of AMPSA and its financial condition could suffer as a result.
•
  GHV may waive one or more of the conditions to the Merger.
•
  The exercise of discretion by GHV's directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of GHV's stockholders.
•
  GHV and AMPSA will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.
•
  If third parties bring claims against GHV, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.
•
  GHV has no operating or financial history and its results of operations and those of AMPSA may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement/prospectus.
•
  The GHV Warrants are being accounted for as liabilities and are being recorded at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value each period reported in GHV's earnings. The changes in value of GHV Warrants could have an adverse effect on the market price of the GHV Class A Common Stock and/or an adverse effect on GHV's financial results.
•
  GHV has restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from June 25, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, as well as its financial data as of August 10, 2020, which may lead to additional risks and uncertainties, including loss of investor confidence and negative impacts on the stock price of GHV.
•
  If the Business Combination's benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of GHV's or AMPSA's securities may decline.
•
  Past performance by The Gores Group, including its management team, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in GHV or AMPSA.

AMPSA

•
  AMPSA's customers' beverage products are principally used by consumers. If economic conditions affect consumer demand, AMPSA's customers may be affected and so reduce the demand for AMPSA's products. Additionally, the global credit, financial and economic environment could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial position, liquidity and results of operations.

52

•
  AMPSA faces competition from other metal packaging producers, as well as from manufacturers of alternative forms of packaging.
•
  An increase in metal beverage can manufacturing capacity, including that of AMPSA's competitors, without a corresponding increase in demand for metal beverage can packaging could cause prices to decline, which could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations.
•
  AMPSA is implementing a significant multi-year business growth investment program to increase its capacity. Failure to implement this program successfully may have a material impact on AMPSA's business and results of operations.
•
  As AMPSA's customers are concentrated, AMPSA's business could be adversely affected if it were unable to maintain relationships with its largest customers.
•
  Further consolidation of AMPSA's customer base may intensify pricing pressures or result in the loss of customers, either of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
•
  AMPSA's profitability could be affected by the availability and cost of raw materials, including as a result of changes in tariffs and duties.
•
  AMPSA's inability to fully pass-through input costs may have an adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
•
  AMPSA is involved in a manufacturing process with fixed costs. Any interruption in the operations of AMPSA's manufacturing facilities, including its supply chain, may adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
•
  AMPSA may not be able to integrate any future acquisitions effectively.
•
  Climate change or legal, regulatory or other measures to address climate change or related concerns, may adversely affect AMPSA's ability to conduct its business, including the availability and cost of resources required for its production processes.
•
  AMPSA is subject to various environmental and other legal requirements and may be subject to new requirements of this kind in the future that could impose substantial costs upon AMPSA.
•
  Changes in product requirements and their enforcement may have a material impact on AMPSA's operations.
•
  AMPSA may be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, arbitration and other proceedings that could have an adverse effect on it.
•
  Changes in consumer lifestyle, nutritional preferences, health-related concerns and consumer taxation could adversely affect AMPSA's business.
•
  Increasing privacy and data security obligations or a significant data breach may adversely affect AMPSA's business.
•
  AMPSA's heavy reliance on technology and automated systems to operate its business could mean any significant failure or disruption of the technology or these systems could materially harm its business.
•
  AMPSA's substantial debt could adversely affect its financial health and its ability to effectively manage and grow its business.
•
  AMPSA's ability to operate its business effectively depends in large part on certain administrative and other support functions provided to it by Ardagh Group pursuant to the

53

Services Agreement. Following the expiration or termination of the Services Agreement, AMPSA's ability to operate its business effectively may suffer if it is unable to cost-effectively establish its own administrative and other support functions in order to operate as a stand-alone company.

•
  Future sales of the AMPSA Shares, including by Ardagh Group, the Subscribers and the GHV Sponsor could have a negative impact on the price of the AMPSA Shares.
•
  The rights of AMPSA Shareholders may differ from the rights they would have as shareholders of a U.S. corporation and consequently AMPSA Shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests.

If a business combination is not so consummated, GHV will be dissolved and the proceeds held in the Trust Account will be distributed solely to its public stockholders (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses (which interest shall be net of taxes payable)).

GHV is seeking stockholder approval of the Merger Proposal, and will offer holders of its Public Shares the right to have their Public Shares redeemed (subject to the limitations described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) regardless of whether such stockholder votes for or against the Merger Proposal. In accordance with its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, GHV will not redeem shares of GHV Class A Common Stock in an amount that would result in GHV's failure to have net tangible assets exceeding $5,000,000.

FIRST QUARTER 2021 TRADING UPDATE OF THE AMP BUSINESS

On April 29, 2021, AGSA issued its quarterly earnings press release, which contained certain information on the performance of AGSA on a segment basis. The following is a summary of the metal beverage packaging segment information released by AGSA.(1)

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, shipments increased by 8% in the quarter compared with the same period in 2020. Specialty can volumes increased by 16% and represented approximately 45% of total shipments.

Metal Beverage Packaging Europe

Revenue increased by $51 million, or 13%, to $436 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared with $385 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Excluding favorable foreign currency translation effects of $32 million, revenue increased by $19 million, mainly due to favorable volume/mix effects, which includes an impact of Ardagh Group's business growth investment program, and the pass through of higher metal costs. Adjusted EBITDA(2) increased by $12 million, or 22%, to $66 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared with $54 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Excluding favorable foreign currency translation effects of $5 million, Adjusted EBITDA(2) increased by $7 million, principally due to favorable volume/mix effects, which includes an impact of Ardagh Group's business growth investment program.

Metal Beverage Packaging Americas

Revenue increased by $59 million, or 13%, to $503 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared with $444 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in revenue principally reflected favorable volume/mix effects, which includes an impact of Ardagh Group's business growth investment program, and the pass through of higher input costs. Adjusted EBITDA(2) increased by $21 million, or 34%, to $82 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared with $61 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. The increase was mainly driven by favorable volume/mix effects, which includes an impact of Ardagh Group's business growth investment program, and lower operating costs.

The business growth investment program is progressing on plan, with two new sleek production lines commissioned and ramping up in Olive Branch, Mississippi. The first quarter growth investment spending is on track, with multiple other projects being under way.

  The most recently prepared combined financial information for the AMP Business is the Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

  AGSA did not provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure because the information was reported to provide information about reportable segments of AGSA.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (the "summary pro forma information") gives effect to the Business Combination transactions described in the section entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information." The first step within the Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization whereby AMPSA will acquire the assets, liabilities and subsidiaries of AGSA engaged in the AMP Business. The capital reorganization will be followed on closing by the acquisition of GHV, which is accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2.

Under this method of accounting, there is no acquisition accounting and no recognition of goodwill, as a result of GHV not being considered a business, as defined by IFRS 3 (Business Combination) given it consists predominantly of cash in the Trust Account. Under this method of accounting, GHV will be treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of AMPSA issuing shares and warrants as consideration for the net assets of GHV. The net assets acquired will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position data as of December 31, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination transactions as if they had occurred on December 31, 2020. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement data for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2020.

The summary pro forma information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements of the AMP Business and related notes and the historical financial statements of GHV (as restated) and related notes included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The summary pro forma information has been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company's financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination and related transactions been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the summary pro forma information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

The following table presents summary pro forma information after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

•
  No Redemptions: This presentation provides that no shares of GHV Class A Common Stock are redeemed by the Public Stockholders in connection with the Merger.
•
  Maximum Redemptions: This presentation provides that 52,000,019 shares of GHV Class A Common Stock are redeemed for a per share redemption price of $10.00 and an aggregate redemption payment of $520,020,565. This redemption price assumes $525,020,571 in the GHV Trust Account (as of December 31, 2020), divided by all 52,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, but takes into account GHV's obligation not to redeem shares in an amount that would result in GHV's failure to have net tangible assets exceeding $5,000,000. Because the GHV Sponsor Backstop is a commitment to subscribe for up to 9.5 million AMPSA Shares at a price per share of $10.00, this presentation reflects the possibility that, subject to GHV retaining net tangible assets with a value exceeding $5,000,000, all of the outstanding shares of GHV Class A common stock are redeemed.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement/prospectus includes statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws, including statements under the headings "Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus," "Risk Factors," "AMPSA Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "GHV Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are statements of future expectations and other forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "future," "guidance," "intend," "may," "opportunity," "plan," "potential," "predict," "projected," "should," "strategy," "suggests," "targets," "will," "will be" or "would" or similar expressions or the negatives thereof, or other variations thereof, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this proxy statement/prospectus and include statements regarding the intentions, beliefs or current expectations of AMPSA's or GHV's management teams concerning, among other things, their respective results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which they operate.

You are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that AMPSA's and GHV's actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which AMPSA operates, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, even if AMPSA's and GHV's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which AMPSA operates are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and AMPSA's and GHV's actual financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The development of the industry in which AMPSA operates may differ materially from (and be more negative than) those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement/prospectus.

These statements are based on AMPSA's or GHV's management's current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those anticipated by such statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements in deciding how to vote your proxy or instruct how your vote should be cast on the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, AMPSA's actual results or performance following the Business Combination may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences in actual results include:

•
  the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay the Merger or give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement;
•
  the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against GHV or AMPSA following announcement of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement;
•
  the inability to complete the Merger due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of GHV of the Merger Proposal or to satisfy other conditions to the closing in the Business Combination Agreement;

63

•
  the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of the AMPSA Shares on NYSE following the Merger;
•
  the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of AMPSA as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein;
•
  AMPSA's ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of AMPSA to grow and manage growth profitably following the Merger;
•
  costs related to the Business Combination;
•
  changes in applicable laws or regulations;
•
  the risk that AMPSA will need to raise additional capital to execute its current and future business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all;
•
  the risk that AMPSA experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations;
•
  the risk of global and regional economic downturns;
•
  competition from other metal beverage packaging producers and manufacturers of alternative forms of packaging;
•

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the heading "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding how to vote on the proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, reputation, revenue, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, working capital, and future prospects, in which event the market price of the AMPSA Shares could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Relating to AMPSA

AMPSA's customers' beverage products are principally used by consumers. If economic conditions affect consumer demand, AMPSA's customers may be affected and so reduce the demand for AMPSA's products. Additionally, the global credit, financial and economic environment could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial position, liquidity and results of operations.

Demand for AMPSA's packaging depends on demand for the products that use its packaging, which is primarily consumer driven. General economic conditions may adversely impact consumer confidence resulting in reduced spending on AMPSA's customers' products and, thereby, reduced or postponed demand for AMPSA's products.

Adverse economic conditions may also lead to more limited availability of credit, which may have a negative impact on the financial condition, particularly on the purchasing ability, of some of AMPSA's customers and distributors and may also result in requests for extended payment terms, and result in credit losses, insolvencies and diminished sales channels available to AMPSA. AMPSA's suppliers may have difficulties obtaining necessary credit, which could jeopardize their ability to provide timely deliveries of raw materials and other essentials to AMPSA. Adverse economic conditions may also lead to suppliers requesting credit support or otherwise reducing credit, which may have a negative effect on AMPSA's cash flows and working capital.

Volatility in exchange rates may also increase the costs of AMPSA's products that it may not be able to pass on to its customers; impair the purchasing power of its customers in different markets; result in significant competitive benefit to certain of its competitors that incur a material part of their costs in currencies different from those of AMPSA; hamper its pricing; or increase its hedging costs or limit its ability to hedge its exchange rate exposure.

Changes in global economic conditions may reduce AMPSA's ability to forecast developments in its industry and plan its operations and costs accordingly, resulting in operational inefficiencies. Negative developments in AMPSA's business, results of operations and financial condition due to changes in global economic conditions or other factors could cause ratings agencies to lower the credit ratings, or ratings outlook, of AMPSA's short- and long-term debt and, consequently, impair AMPSA's ability to raise new financing or refinance AMPSA's existing borrowings, as applicable, or increase AMPSA's costs of issuing any new debt instruments. Additionally, a significant weakening of AMPSA's financial position or operating results due to changes in global economic conditions or other factors could result in noncompliance with AMPSA's debt covenants and reduced cash flow from its operations, which, in turn, could adversely affect AMPSA's ability to execute its long-term strategy to continue to expand its packaging activities through investing in existing and new facilities to increase its capacity in line with the 2021-2024 business growth investment program or, in the future, by selectively evaluating and opportunistically acquiring other businesses.

Furthermore, the economic outlook could be adversely affected by the risk that one or more current eurozone countries could leave the European Monetary Union, or the euro as the single currency of the eurozone could cease to exist. Either of these developments, or the perception that

66

either of these developments is likely to occur, could have a material adverse effect on the economic development of the affected countries and could lead to severe economic recession or depression, and a general anticipation that such risks will materialize in the future could jeopardize the stability of financial markets or the overall financial and monetary system. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial position, liquidity and results of operations. See below "The United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union may have a negative effect on AMPSA's financial condition and results of operations."

AMPSA faces competition from other metal packaging producers, as well as from manufacturers of alternative forms of packaging.

The sectors in which AMPSA operates are competitive and relatively mature. Prices for AMPSA's products are primarily driven by raw material costs. Competition in the market is based on price, as well as on innovation, sustainability, design, quality and service. Increases in productivity, combined with potential surplus capacity from planned new investment in the industry, could result in pricing pressures in the future. AMPSA's principal competitors include Ball Corporation, Crown Holdings and Can Pack. Some of AMPSA's competitors may have greater financial, technical or marketing resources or may, in the future, have excess capacity. To the extent that any one or more of AMPSA's competitors become more successful with respect to any key competitive factor, AMPSA's ability to attract and retain customers could be materially and adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on its business. Moreover, changes in the global economic environment could result in reductions in demand for AMPSA's products in certain instances, which could increase competitive pressures and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on its business.

AMPSA is subject to substantial competition from producers of packaging made from plastic, glass, carton and composites, for example, PET bottles for carbonated soft drinks. Changes in consumer preferences in terms of packaging materials, style and product presentation can significantly influence sales. An increase in AMPSA's costs of production or a decrease in the costs of, or an increase in consumer demand for, alternative packaging could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain customers meet some of their metal beverage packaging requirements through self-manufacturing, reducing their external purchases of packaging. For example, AB InBev manufactures metal beverage packaging through its Metal Container Corporation subsidiary in the United States, as well as directly in Brazil. The potential vertical integration of AMPSA's customers could introduce new production capacity in the market, which may create an imbalance between metal beverage packaging supply and demand. The growth of vertically integrated operations could have a material negative impact on AMPSA's future performance.

An increase in metal beverage can manufacturing capacity, including that of AMPSA's competitors, without a corresponding increase in demand for metal beverage can packaging could cause prices to decline, which could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The profitability of metal beverage packaging companies is heavily influenced by the supply of, and demand for, metal packaging. In response to increased demand for beverage cans, AMPSA and others, including all of AMPSA's major competitors, have announced significant medium-term metal beverage can capacity expansions in the United States, Europe and Brazil.

AMPSA cannot assure you that metal beverage can manufacturing capacity in any of its markets, including the capacity of its competitors, will not increase further in the future, nor can AMPSA assure you that demand for metal beverage packaging will continue to meet or exceed supply. While the metal beverage can market is currently experiencing demand that exceeds supply, if in the future metal beverage can manufacturing capacity increases and there is no corresponding increase in demand, the

67

prices AMPSA receives for its products could decline, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

AMPSA is implementing a significant multi-year business growth investment program to increase its capacity. Failure to implement this program successfully may have a material impact on AMPSA's business and results of operations.

In response to the positive forecast demand outlook for AMPSA's metal beverage cans Ardagh Metal Packaging announced a $1.8 billion business growth investment program covering the period 2021 to 2024. This program principally involves capacity expansion initiatives, including the installation of multiple new lines, line speed-ups, brownfield and greenfield development, as well as additional investments in automation, digitalization and other efficiency measures.

Successful implementation of this complex and extensive program will require the availability of skilled employees, project managers and consultants with the experience and know-how to ensure successful commissioning of capacity on time and budget and in line with our customers' exacting requirements. It will also require the availability of specialist equipment, tooling, components, materials, related services and the required permits.

Failure to successfully complete these investment projects, including through a lack of suitably-skilled personnel, or through a lack of available equipment and materials on expected terms, or other delays or disruptions would impact AMPSA's capacity expansion and other efficiency initiatives. This could adversely impact AMPSA's ability to serve existing and new customers, thereby damaging its customer relationships, or could negatively affect AMPSA's cost base and could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

As AMPSA's customers are concentrated, AMPSA's business could be adversely affected if it were unable to maintain relationships with its largest customers.

AMPSA's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 64% of its 2020 consolidated revenues.

AMPSA believes its relationships with these customers are good, but there can be no assurance that it will be able to maintain these relationships. Over 80% of AMPSA's revenue is backed by multi-year supply agreements, ranging from two to seven years in duration. Although these arrangements have provided, and AMPSA expects they will continue to provide, the basis for long-term partnerships with its customers, there can be no assurance that AMPSA's customers will not cease purchasing its products. These arrangements, unless they are renewed, expire in accordance with their respective terms and are terminable under certain circumstances, such as AMPSA's failure to meet quality, volume or other contractual commitments. If customers unexpectedly reduce the amount of metal beverage cans they purchase from AMPSA, or cease purchasing its metal beverage cans altogether, AMPSA's revenues could decrease and its inventory levels could increase, both of which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, while AMPSA believes that the arrangements that it has with its customers will be renewed, there can be no assurance that such arrangements will be renewed upon their expiration or that the terms of any renewal will be as favorable to AMPSA as the terms of the current arrangements. There is also the risk that AMPSA's customers may shift their filling operations to locations in which AMPSA does not operate. The loss of one or more of these customers, a significant reduction in sales to these customers or a significant change in the commercial terms of the relationships with these customers could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business.

68

Further consolidation of AMPSA's customer base may intensify pricing pressures or result in the loss of customers, either of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Some of AMPSA's customers have previously acquired companies with similar or complementary product lines. For example, in 2016 AB InBev acquired SABMiller and in 2017 Heineken acquired Brasil Kirin. Such consolidation has increased the concentration of AMPSA's sales with its largest customers and may continue in the future, potentially accompanied by pressure from customers for lower prices. Increased pricing pressures from AMPSA's customers may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, this consolidation may lead manufacturers to rely on a reduced number of suppliers. If, following the combination of one of AMPSA's customers with another company, a competitor was to be the main supplier to the consolidated companies, this could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

AMPSA's profitability could be affected by varied seasonal demands.

Demand for AMPSA's products is seasonal. AMPSA's sales in Europe and North America are typically, based on historical trends, greater in the second and third quarters of the year, with generally lower sales in the first and fourth quarters. In Brazil, sales are typically strongest in the first and fourth quarters. Unseasonably cool weather during the summer months in each of its regions can reduce demand for certain beverages packaged in metal beverage cans, such as those manufactured by AMPSA.

Additionally, climate change and the increasing frequency of severe weather events could adversely affect demand for AMPSA's products, its supply chain and the costs of inputs to its production and delivery of products in different regions around the world. Such severe weather events could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition or results of operations. For more information see "Climate change or legal, regulatory or other measures to address climate change or related concerns, may adversely affect AMPSA's ability to conduct its business, including the availability and cost of resources required for its production processes."

AMPSA's profitability could be affected by the availability and cost of raw materials, including as a result of changes in tariffs and duties.

The raw materials that AMPSA uses, principally aluminum, have historically been available in adequate supply from multiple sources. For certain raw materials, however, there may be temporary shortages due to transportation, production delays impacting supplier plant output, pandemic outbreaks, including COVID-19, or other factors. In such an event, no assurance can be given that AMPSA would be able to secure its raw materials from sources other than AMPSA's current suppliers on terms as favorable as its current terms, or at all. Any such shortages, as well as significant increases in the cost of any of the principal raw materials that AMPSA uses, including such shortages or material increases resulting from the introduction of tariffs, such as the introduction of tariffs of 10% on aluminum in the United States in 2018, which remain in effect, could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations. Further tariffs, sanctions, duties, other trade actions or increases in AMPSA's transportation costs, could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the relative price of oil and its by-products may impact AMPSA's business, by affecting transport, coatings, lacquer and ink costs. Additionally, certain energy sources are vital to our operations, and future increases in energy costs could result in a significant increase in our operating costs, which could, if we are not able to recover these costs, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

69

The primary raw materials that AMPSA uses are aluminum ingot and, to a much lesser extent, steel. Aluminum ingot is traded daily as a commodity on the London Metal Exchange, which has historically been subject to significant price volatility. Because aluminum is priced in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar/euro rate also affect the euro cost of aluminum ingot. AMPSA's business is exposed to both the availability of aluminum and the volatility of aluminum prices, including associated premia. While raw materials are generally available from a range of suppliers, they are subject to fluctuations in price and availability based on a number of factors, including general economic conditions, commodity price fluctuations (with respect to aluminum on the London Metal Exchange), the demand by other industries, such as automotive, aerospace and construction, for the same raw materials and the availability of complementary and substitute materials. In particular, the level of investment in beverage can capacity expansion by AMPSA and other beverage can producers will require a significant increase in can sheet production by the aluminum suppliers, which will in turn require significant investment and capital expenditures. Failure by the suppliers to increase capacity could cause supply shortages and significant increases in cost of these raw materials, notably aluminum. In addition, adverse economic or financial changes, industrial disputes or pandemic-related disruptions could impact AMPSA's suppliers, thereby causing supply shortages or increasing costs for AMPSA's business.

AMPSA may not be able to pass on all or substantially all raw material price increases. In addition, AMPSA may not be able to hedge successfully against raw material cost increases. Furthermore, aluminum prices are subject to considerable volatility in price and demand. While in the past sufficient quantities of aluminum have been generally available for purchase, these quantities may not be available in the future, and, even if available, AMPSA may not be able to continue to purchase them at current prices. Further increases in the cost of these raw materials could adversely affect AMPSA's operating margins and cash flows.

The supplier industries from which AMPSA receives its raw materials are relatively concentrated, and this concentration can impact raw material costs. Over the last ten years, the number of major aluminum and steel suppliers has decreased and there remains the possibility of further consolidation. Further consolidation could hinder AMPSA's ability to obtain adequate supplies of these raw materials and could lead to higher prices for aluminum and steel.

The failure to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials or increases in the cost of these products could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Currency, interest rate fluctuations and commodity prices may have a material impact on AMPSA's business.

AMPSA's functional currency is the euro and AMPSA presents its financial information in U.S. dollar. Insofar as possible, AMPSA actively manages currency exposures through the deployment of assets and liabilities throughout AMPSA and, when necessary and economically justified, enters into currency hedging arrangements to manage its exposure to currency fluctuations by hedging against rate changes with respect to its functional currency, the euro. However, AMPSA may not be successful in limiting such exposure, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, AMPSA's presented results may be impacted as a result of fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate versus the euro.

AMPSA has production facilities in 9 different countries worldwide. It also sells products to, and obtains raw materials from, entities located in these and different regions and countries globally. As a consequence, a significant portion of AMPSA's consolidated revenue, costs, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the euro, which is AMPSA's functional currency, particularly the U.S. dollar and the British pound. For the year ended December 31, 2020, 71% of AMPSA's revenues were from countries with currencies other than the euro. The exchange rates between the currencies

70

which AMPSA is exposed to, such as the euro, the U.S. dollar and the British pound, have fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to do so in the future.

In addition to currency translation risk, AMPSA is subject to currency transaction risk. AMPSA's policy is, where practical, to match net investments in foreign currencies with borrowings in the same currency. Fluctuations in the value of these currencies with respect to the euro may have a significant impact on AMPSA's financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in exchange rates can affect AMPSA's ability to purchase raw materials and sell products at profitable prices, reduce the value of its assets and revenues, and increase liabilities and costs.

AMPSA is also exposed to interest rate risk. Fluctuations in interest rates may affect AMPSA's interest expense on debt and the cost of new financing. AMPSA may use cross currency interest rate swaps, or CCIRS, to manage this type of risk, but sustained increases in interest rates could nevertheless materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

AMPSA is exposed to changes in prices of its main raw materials, primarily aluminum and energy. Aluminum ingot is traded daily as a commodity on the London Metal Exchange, which has historically been subject to significant price volatility. Because aluminum is priced in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar/euro rate also affect the euro cost of aluminum ingot. The price and foreign currency risk on the aluminum purchases in AMPSA are hedged by entering into swaps under which we pay fixed euro and U.S. dollar prices, respectively. Furthermore, the relative price of oil and its by-products may materially impact our business, affecting our transport, lacquer and ink costs.

AMPSA uses derivative agreements to manage some of the material cost risk. The use of derivative contracts to manage AMPSA's risk is dependent on robust hedging procedures. Increasing raw material costs over time has the potential, if AMPSA is unable to pass on price increases, to reduce sales volume and could therefore have a significant impact on its financial condition. AMPSA is also exposed to possible interruptions of supply of aluminum or other raw materials and any inability to purchase raw materials could negatively impact its operations.

As a result of the volatility of gas and electricity prices, AMPSA has developed an active hedging strategy to fix a significant proportion of its energy costs through contractual arrangements directly with its suppliers. AMPSA's policy is to purchase gas and electricity by entering into forward price-fixing arrangements with suppliers for the bulk of its anticipated requirements for the year ahead. Such contracts are used exclusively to obtain delivery of AMPSA's anticipated energy supplies. Ardagh Metal Packaging does not net settle, nor does it sell within a short period of time after taking delivery. Ardagh Metal Packaging avails itself of the own use exemption and, therefore, these contracts are treated as executory contracts. Ardagh Metal Packaging typically builds up these contractual positions in tranches of approximately 10% of the anticipated volumes. Any gas and electricity which is not purchased under forward price-fixing arrangements is purchased under index tracking contracts or at spot prices. To the extent this hedging strategy is not effective, it could negatively impact AMPSA's costs.

For a further discussion of these matters and the measures AMPSA has taken to seek to protect its business against these risks, see the section entitled "AMPSA Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

AMPSA's inability to fully pass-through input costs may have an adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

A significant number of AMPSA's sales contracts with customers include provisions enabling AMPSA to pass-through increases and reductions in certain input costs, such as aluminum and coatings, which help it deliver consistent margins, although margin percentages may fluctuate as a result. Although contract structures have generally been improved in North America to more accurately

71

reflect the components of AMPSA's cost base, there can be no assurance that AMPSA will be in a position to fully recover increased input costs from all of its customers in the future.

AMPSA's manufacturing facilities are subject to operating hazards.

AMPSA's manufacturing processes include cutting, coating and shaping metal into containers. These processes, which are conducted at high speeds and involve operating heavy machinery and equipment, entail risks and hazards, including industrial accidents, leaks and ruptures, explosions, fires, mechanical failures and environmental hazards, such as spills, storage tank leaks, discharges or releases of toxic or hazardous substances and gases. These hazards may cause unplanned business interruptions, unscheduled downtime, transportation interruptions, personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to or the destruction of property and equipment, environmental contamination and other environmental damage, civil, criminal and administrative sanctions and liabilities, and third-party claims, any of which could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations.

AMPSA is involved in a manufacturing process with fixed costs. Any interruption in the operations of AMPSA's manufacturing facilities, including its supply chain, may adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

All of AMPSA's manufacturing activities take place at facilities that it owns or that it leases under long-term leases. AMPSA conducts regular maintenance on all its operating equipment. However, AMPSA cannot provide assurance that it will not incur unplanned business interruptions due to equipment breakdowns, similar manufacturing problems or disruption to its IT and other automated processes, including through cyber security incidents, such as the recent cyber security incident that was discovered by AGSA in May 2021 and is described in the section entitled "AMPSA Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments," or that such interruptions will not have an adverse impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations. In such a scenario, it is very unlikely that alternative production capacity would be available in the future. A disruption in such circumstances could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations.

To the extent that AMPSA experiences any equipment failures or similar manufacturing problems, AMPSA may be required to make unplanned capital expenditures even though it may not have available resources at such time and it may not be able to meet customer demand, which would result in a loss of revenues. As a result, AMPSA's liquidity may be impaired as a result of such expenditures and loss of revenues or the incurrence of unplanned capital expenditures.

A mechanical failure or disruption affecting any major operating line may result in a disruption of AMPSA's ability to supply customers. The potential impact of any disruption would depend on the nature and extent of the damage caused to such facility. For example, the AMPSA industry's business model typically involves a beverage can ends plant supplying multiple beverage can plants. A failure or disruption in an ends plant could impact AMPSA's ability to supply multiple customers with ends and any inability to source ends from another location could result in a material loss of sales. Further, AMPSA's facilities in geographically vulnerable areas, including parts of the United States, may be disrupted by the occurrence of natural phenomena, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and wildfires.

AMPSA may not be able to integrate any future acquisitions effectively.

AMPSA aims over the longer term to continue to expand its packaging activities. While this expansion strategy is expected to be largely focused on organic expansion and capital expenditure on existing and new facilities, it may in the future require AMPSA to capitalize on strategic opportunities, including the acquisition of existing businesses.

72

There is no certainty that any businesses AMPSA may acquire in the future will be effectively integrated. If AMPSA cannot successfully integrate acquired businesses within a reasonable time frame, it may not be able to realize the potential benefits anticipated from those acquisitions. AMPSA's failure to successfully integrate such businesses and the diversion of management attention and other resources from its existing operations could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, even if AMPSA is able to integrate successfully the operations of acquired businesses, it may not be able to realize the cost savings, synergies and revenue enhancements that it anticipates either in the anticipated amount or time frame, and the costs of achieving these benefits may be higher than, and the timing may differ from, what it expects. AMPSA's ability to realize anticipated cost savings and synergies may be affected by a number of factors, including the following:

•
  the use of more cash or other financial resources on integration and implementation activities than AMPSA expects, including restructuring and other exit costs;
•
  conditions imposed in connection with obtaining required regulatory approvals; or
•
  increases in acquisition costs and expenses, which may offset the cost savings and other synergies realized from such acquisitions.

To the extent AMPSA pursues an acquisition that causes it to incur unexpected costs or that fails to generate expected returns, this could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Climate change or legal, regulatory or other measures to address climate change or related concerns, may adversely affect AMPSA's ability to conduct its business, including the availability and cost of resources required for its production processes.

There is a growing concern that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases ("GHG") in the atmosphere have an adverse impact on global temperatures, weather and precipitation patterns and the frequency and severity of extreme weather conditions and natural disasters. The impact of climate change may over time affect AMPSA's operations and the markets in which it operates. This could include changes in weather, resulting in reduced availability of inputs such as water, or increased costs of such inputs, and/or transitional risks such as technological development, policy and regulatory change, and market and economic responses. Measures to address climate change through laws and regulations, for example by requiring reductions in emissions of GHGs or the introduction of compliance schemes could create economic risks and uncertainties for AMPSA's businesses, by increasing GHG related costs, the cost of abatement equipment to reduce emissions to comply with legal requirements on GHG emissions or required technological standards, as well as reduced demand for AMPSA's products.

The vast majority of AMPSA's Scope 3 emissions arise in the various stages of the manufacture of the aluminum and steel coils that AMPSA purchases. In line with AMPSA's commitment to Science Based Sustainability targets, AMPSA has a plan to reduce these emissions. AMPSA's failure to meet its targets and to reduce its emissions risks reputational damage and could adversely impact demand for AMPSA's products, resulting in an adverse impact on financial performance.

AMPSA is subject to various environmental and other legal requirements and may be subject to new requirements of this kind in the future that could impose substantial costs upon AMPSA.

AMPSA's operations and properties are subject to extensive laws, ordinances, regulations and other legal requirements relating to the protection of people and the environment. The laws and regulations that may affect AMPSA's operations include requirements regarding remediation of contaminated soil, groundwater and buildings, water supply and use, natural resources, water discharges, air emissions, waste management, noise pollution, asbestos and other deleterious materials, the generation, storage,

73

handling, transportation and disposal of regulated materials, product safety, and workplace health and safety. These laws and regulations are also subject to constant review by lawmakers and regulators which may result in further, including more stringent, environmental or health and safety legal requirements. AMPSA strives to mitigate risks related to environmental issues, including through the purchase of renewable energy, the adoption of sustainable practices, and by positioning itself as a sustainability leader in its industry.

AMPSA has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, costs to comply with such legal requirements, and these costs may increase in the future. Demands for more stringent pollution control devices could also result in the need for further capital upgrades to AMPSA's plant operations. Further, in order to comply with air emission restrictions, significant capital investments may be necessary at some sites. AMPSA requires a variety of permits to conduct its operations, including operating permits such as those required under various U.S. laws, including the federal Clean Air Act, and the EU Industrial Emissions Directive water and trade effluent discharge permits, water abstraction permits and waste permits. AMPSA is in the process of applying for, or renewing, permits at a number of its sites. Failure to obtain and maintain the relevant permits, as well as noncompliance with such permits, could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations.

If AMPSA violates or fails to comply with these laws and regulations or its permits, it could be subject to criminal, civil and administrative sanctions and liabilities, including substantial fines and orders, or a partial or total shutdown of its operations, as well as litigation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

In Europe, under the IED and its reference document for "Best Available Techniques" for metal manufacturing plants with surface treatment using solvents, permitted emissions levels from these plants including AMPSA's are substantially reduced periodically. EU member states introduce lower permitted emission levels into national legislation, which could potentially result in stricter emission limits in the future. These types of changes could require additional investment in AMPSA's affected operations. There may be greenhouse gas compliance or emission control schemes introduced in any jurisdiction on country and local municipality level which include metal packaging which may require any additional measures to control the emission of greenhouse gases could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes to the laws and regulations governing the materials that are used in AMPSA's manufacturing operations may impact the price of such materials or result in such materials no longer being available, which could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations. The European Union passed regulations concerning REACH, which place onerous obligations on the manufacturers and importers of substances, preparations and articles containing substances, and which may have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business. Furthermore, substances AMPSA uses may have to be removed from the market (under REACH's authorization and restriction provisions) or need to be substituted by alternative chemicals, which may also adversely impact upon its operations.

Sites at which AMPSA operates often have a long history of industrial activities and may be, or have been in the past, engaged in activities involving the use of materials and processes that could give rise to contamination and result in potential liability to investigate or remediate, as well as claims for alleged damage to persons, property or natural resources. Liability may be imposed on AMPSA as an owner, occupier or operator of contaminated facilities. These legal requirements may apply to contamination at sites that AMPSA currently or formerly owned, occupied or operated, or that were formerly owned, occupied or operated by companies AMPSA acquired or at sites where it has sent waste offsite for treatment or disposal. Regarding assets acquired by AMPSA, AMPSA cannot provide assurance that its due diligence investigations identified or accurately quantified all material environmental matters related to the acquired facilities. AMPSA's closure of a site may accelerate the need to investigate and remediate any contamination at the site.

74

In addition, AMPSA may be required to remediate contaminated third-party sites where it has sent waste for disposal. Liability for remediation of these third-party sites may be established without regard to whether the party disposing of the waste was at fault or the disposal activity was legal at the time it was conducted. For example, "Superfund" sites in the United States are the highest priority contaminated sites designated by the federal government as requiring remediation, and costs of their remediation tend to be high. Whether AMPSA will have any liability for investigation and remediation costs at any Superfund site or for costs relating to claims for natural resource damages, and what portion of the costs it must bear, has not been determined.

Changes in product requirements and their enforcement may have a material impact on AMPSA's operations.

Changes in laws and regulations relating to deposits on, and any limits or restrictions to recycling of, metal packaging could adversely affect AMPSA's business if implemented on a large scale in the major markets in which it operates. Changes in laws and regulations imposing restrictions on, and conditions for use of, food contact materials or on the use of materials and agents used in the production of AMPSA's products could likewise adversely affect its business. Changes to health and food safety regulations could increase costs and also could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's revenues if, as a result, the public attitude toward end-products, for which it provides packaging, were substantially affected.

Additionally, the effectiveness of new standards, such as the ones related to recycling or deposits on different packaging materials, could result in excess costs or logistical constraints for some of AMPSA's customers, which could choose to reduce their consumption and limit the use of metal packaging for their products. AMPSA could thus be forced to reduce, suspend or even stop the production of certain types of products. The regulatory changes could also affect AMPSA's prices, margins, investments and activities, particularly if these changes resulted in significant or structural changes in the market for food packaging that might affect the market shares for metal packaging, the volumes produced or production costs.

Environmental concerns could lead U.S., Brazilian, European Union or United Kingdom bodies to implement other product regulations that are likely to impose restrictions on AMPSA and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. There is significant variation among countries where AMPSA sells its products in the limitation on certain constituents in packaging, which can have the effect of restricting the types of raw materials AMPSA uses. In turn, these restrictions can increase AMPSA's operating costs, by requiring increased energy consumption or greater environmental controls.

AMPSA's operations are subject to laws and regulations in multiple jurisdictions relating to some of the raw materials utilized in its container making process, such as epoxy-based coatings. Changes in regulatory agency statements, adverse information concerning bisphenol A or rulings made in certain jurisdictions may result in restrictions, for example, on bisphenol A in epoxy-based internal liners for some of AMPSA's products. Such restrictions have required AMPSA, together with its respective suppliers and customers, to develop substitutes for relevant products to meet legal and customer requirements.

Increasing legal requirements on the reporting, due diligence and restricted use of "conflict minerals" originating from mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries as well as any increasing regulatory requirements on the bauxite or cassiterite value chain could bear reputational and compliance risks along the supply chain and affect the sourcing, availability and economics of minerals used in the manufacture of steel and aluminum beverage cans.

75

AMPSA could incur significant costs due to the location of some of its industrial sites in urban areas.

Obtaining, renewing or maintaining permits and authorizations issued by administrative authorities necessary to operate AMPSA's production plants could be made more difficult due to the increasing urbanization of the sites where some of its manufacturing plants are located. Urbanization could lead to more stringent operating conditions (by imposing traffic restrictions for example), conditions for obtaining or renewing the necessary authorizations, the refusal to grant or renew these authorizations, or expropriations of these sites in order to allow urban planning projects to proceed.

The occurrence of such events could result in AMPSA incurring significant costs and there can be no assurance that the occurrence of such events would entitle AMPSA to partial or full compensation.

AMPSA may be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, arbitration and other proceedings that could have an adverse effect on it.

AMPSA is currently involved in various litigation matters and anticipates that it will be involved in litigation matters from time to time in the future. The risks inherent in AMPSA's business expose it to litigation, including personal injury, environmental litigation, contractual litigation with customers and suppliers, intellectual property litigation, tax or securities litigation, and product liability lawsuits. AMPSA cannot predict with certainty the outcome or effect of any claim, regulatory investigation, or other litigation matter, or a combination of these. If AMPSA is involved in any future litigation, or if its positions concerning current disputes are found to be incorrect, this may have an adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations, including as a result of liabilities imposed on it, the costs associated with asserting its claims or defending such lawsuits, and the diversion of management's attention to these matters.

AMPSA is subject to an extensive, complex and evolving legal and regulatory framework, which may expose AMPSA to investigations by governmental authorities, legal proceedings and fines.

AMPSA's business encompasses multiple jurisdictions and complex legal and regulatory frameworks, including in relation to anti-trust, economic sanctions, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering matters. Laws and regulations in these areas are complex and constantly evolving and enforcement continues to increase. As a result, AMPSA may become subject to increasing limitations on its business activities and to the risk of fines or other sanctions for non-compliance. Additionally, AMPSA may become subject to governmental investigations and lawsuits by private parties. These could require significant expenditures and result in liabilities or governmental orders that could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Changes in consumer lifestyle, nutritional preferences, health-related concerns and consumer taxation could adversely affect AMPSA's business.

Changes in consumer preferences and tastes could have an impact on demand for AMPSA's customers' products, which in turn could lead to reduced demand for AMPSA's products. Certain end-products represent a significant proportion of AMPSA's market. AMPSA's ability to develop new product offerings for a diverse group of global customers with differing preferences, while maintaining functionality and spurring innovation, is critical to its success. This requires a thorough understanding of AMPSA's existing and potential customers and end users on a global basis, particularly in potential high developing markets. Failure to adapt and deliver quality products that meet customer or end user needs, through research and development or licensing of new technology, ahead of competitors could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business.

Additionally, public health and government officials have become increasingly concerned about the health consequences associated with over-consumption of certain types of beverages, such as sugar-sweetened beverages, including those produced by certain of AMPSA's customers. For example, France

76

and the United Kingdom have introduced taxes on drinks with added sugar and artificial sweeteners that companies produce or import. France has also imposed taxes on energy drinks using certain amounts of taurine and caffeine. As a result of these taxes, demand decreased temporarily in these countries, and the imposition of similar taxes in the future may lower the demand for certain soft drinks and beverages that AMPSA's customers produce, which may cause its customers to respond by reducing their purchases of its metal packaging products. Consumer tax legislation and future attempts to tax sugar or energy drinks or to lower consumption of certain alcoholic and non-alcoholic categories in other jurisdictions could reduce the demand for AMPSA's products and adversely affect its profitability.

In addition, any decline in the popularity of these product types as a result of lifestyle, nutrition or health considerations, or AMPSA's inability to adapt to customer needs, could have a significant impact on AMPSA's customers and could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

AMPSA faces costs and future funding obligations associated with post-retirement benefits provided to its employees, which could have an adverse effect on its financial condition.

As of December 31, 2020, AMPSA's accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was approximately $219 million, covering employees in multiple jurisdictions. The costs associated with these and other benefits to employees could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's financial condition.

AMPSA operates and contributes to pension and other post-retirement benefit schemes (including both single employer and multiple employer schemes) funded by a range of assets that include property, derivatives, equities and/or bonds. The value of these assets is heavily dependent on the performance of markets, which are subject to volatility. The liability structure of the obligations to provide such benefits is also subject to market volatility in relation to its accounting valuation and management. Additional significant funding of AMPSA's pension and other post-retirement benefit obligations may be required if market underperformance is severe. In addition, AMPSA may have to make significant cash payments to some or all of these plans, including under guarantee agreements, as a consequence of this transaction or otherwise in the future, to provide additional funding, which would reduce the cash available for its businesses.

Under the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the U.S. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") has the authority to terminate pension plans regulated by the PBGC if certain funding requirements are not met; any such termination would further accelerate the cash obligations related to such a pension plan.

Organized strikes or work stoppages by unionized employees could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business.

Many of AMPSA's operating companies are party to collective bargaining agreements with trade unions. These agreements cover the majority of AMPSA's employees and although AMPSA considers its employee relations to be generally good, a prolonged work stoppage or strike at any facility with union employees could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, AMPSA cannot ensure that, upon the expiration of existing collective bargaining agreements, new agreements will be reached without union action or that AMPSA's operating companies will be able to negotiate acceptable new contracts with trade unions, which could result in strikes by the affected workers and increased operating costs as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union members. If unionized workers at AMPSA's operating companies or any unionized workers were to engage in a strike or other work stoppage, AMPSA could experience a

77

significant disruption of operations and/or higher ongoing labor costs, which may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure of control measures and systems resulting in faulty or contaminated product could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business.

AMPSA has strict control measures and systems in place to ensure that the maximum safety and quality of its products is maintained. The consequences of a product not meeting these rigorous standards, due to, among other things, accidental or malicious raw materials contamination or due to supply chain contamination caused by human error or equipment fault, could be severe. Such consequences might include adverse effects on consumer health, litigation exposures, loss of market share, financial costs and loss of revenues.

In addition, if AMPSA's products fail to meet rigorous standards, AMPSA may be required to incur substantial costs in taking appropriate corrective action (up to and including recalling products from consumers) and to reimburse customers and/or end-consumers for losses that they suffer as a result of this failure. Customers and end-consumers may seek to recover these losses through litigation and, under applicable legal rules, may succeed in any such claim, despite there being no negligence or other fault on AMPSA's part. Placing an unsafe product on the market, failing to notify the regulatory authorities of a safety issue, failing to take appropriate corrective action and failing to meet other regulatory requirements relating to product safety could lead to regulatory investigation, enforcement action and/or prosecution. Any product quality or safety issue may also result in adverse publicity, which may damage AMPSA's reputation. This could in turn have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations. Although AMPSA has not had material claims for damages for defective products in the past, and has not conducted any substantial product recalls or other material corrective action, these events may occur in the future.

In certain contracts, AMPSA provides warranties in respect of the proper functioning of its products and the conformity of a product to the specific use defined by the customer.

In addition, if a product contained in packaging manufactured by AMPSA is faulty or contaminated, it is possible that the manufacturer of the product may allege that AMPSA's packaging is the cause of the fault or contamination, even if the packaging complies with contractual specifications. Furthermore, in certain countries, certain participants in the distribution chain refill bottles, even though they may not be designed for this purpose.

In case of the failure of packaging produced by AMPSA to open properly or to preserve the integrity of its contents, AMPSA could face liability to its customers and to third parties for bodily injury or other tangible or intangible damages suffered as a result. Such liability, if it were to be established in relation to a sufficient volume of claims or to claims for sufficiently large amounts, could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations.

AMPSA's existing insurance coverage may be insufficient and future coverage may be difficult or expensive to obtain.

Although AMPSA believes that its insurance arrangements provide adequate coverage for the risks inherent in its business, these insurance arrangements typically exclude certain risks and are subject to certain thresholds and limits. AMPSA cannot assure you that its property, plant and equipment and inventories will not suffer damages due to unforeseen events or that the proceeds available from its insurance arrangements will be sufficient to protect it from all possible loss or damage resulting from such events. As a result, AMPSA's insurance coverage may prove to be inadequate for events that may cause significant disruption to its operations, which may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

78

AMPSA may suffer indirect losses, such as the disruption of its business or third-party claims of damages, as a result of an insured risk event. While AMPSA carries business interruption coverage and general liability coverage, such coverage is to certain limitations, thresholds and limits, and may not fully cover all indirect losses.

AMPSA renews its insurance arrangements on an annual basis. The cost of coverage may increase to an extent that AMPSA may choose to reduce its coverage limits or agree to certain exclusions from its coverage. Among other factors, adverse political developments, security concerns and natural disasters in any country in which AMPSA operates, as well as claims experience in respect of risks, including cyber security, may materially adversely affect available insurance coverage and result in increased premiums for available coverage and additional exclusions from coverage.

AMPSA's business may suffer if it does not retain its executive and senior management. GHV's ability to successfully effect the Merger, and AMPSA's ability to successfully operate the business thereafter, will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of AMPSA.

AMPSA believes its future success depends, in part, on its experienced executive team, who are identified under "Management of AMPSA." The loss of services of any of the members of AMPSA's executive team, members of senior management or other key personnel could adversely affect its business until a suitable replacement can be found. There may be a limited number of persons with the requisite skills to serve in these positions and there is no assurance that AMPSA would be able to locate or employ such qualified personnel on terms acceptable to AMPSA or at all.

AMPSA's ability to successfully operate the business following the Business Combination will be largely dependent upon the efforts of its key personnel. It is possible that AMPSA will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact its operations and profitability. Although AMPSA anticipates that all of its executive and senior management will remain in place following the Business Combination, the loss of key personnel could negatively impact its operations and profitability and its financial condition could suffer as a result.

The United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union may have a negative effect on AMPSA's financial condition and results of operations.

Approximately 11% of AMPSA's total 2020 revenue was derived from revenues generated in the United Kingdom, and 3 of its 23 manufacturing facilities are located in the United Kingdom, as of December 31, 2020.

The relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union is governed by a Withdrawal Agreement entered into at the end of January 2020, and a Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which took effect from January 1, 2021 (the "Brexit Agreements"). The Brexit Agreements provide for a zero tariff, zero quota arrangement on sales of goods and agriproducts between the United Kingdom and the European Union. Customs duties on goods originating outside the European Union or United Kingdom, or in the event that the zero tariff arrangements under the Brexit Agreements are amended or suspended, might lead to additional costs for products and materials shipped from the United Kingdom to Europe or from Europe to the United Kingdom respectively. Further, required changes to AMPSA's business systems and processes in order to comply with newly introduced customs procedures may lead to additional costs.

More generally, differences in standards or processes or risk aversion may mean that some businesses choose not to serve other markets on a temporary or permanent basis, causing supplier disruption. Uncertainty remains regarding the impact of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union ("Brexit") and the Brexit Agreements on the United Kingdom and Europe, including among commercial parties in the United Kingdom and the European Union, financial institutions, suppliers and service providers and their respective customers. Any changes to the trading

79

relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union arising from the Brexit Agreements may adversely affect the cost or timing of imports, including aluminum and coatings.

Some of its customers are based in the United Kingdom and export outside the local United Kingdom market. These customers may experience reduced demand or delays arising from these post-Brexit arrangements. Although AMPSA seeks to export through channels where delays would be minimized, AMPSA has nonetheless experienced delays in the transport of certain products, consumables and other materials particularly in relation to shipments from the United Kingdom to the European Union. The impact of these delays, if prolonged, could adversely affect AMPSA's financial condition and the results of AMPSA's operations.

Brexit may also have an adverse impact on AMPSA's business, employees and customers in the United Kingdom. In particular, the Brexit Agreements allow for the possibility of future changes in laws and regulations. Such changes could include import, tax and employment laws and regulations, which could adversely impact the results of operations of AMPSA's United Kingdom business. For example, there is uncertainty with regard to the upcoming regulatory regime relating to environmental permits and permissions, with such environmental permits and permissions currently governed by the EU Industrial Emissions Directive (Directive 2010/75/EU). More burdensome requirements imposed by the new upcoming regulatory regime could require that AMPSA commits additional resources to ensure compliance and although AMPSA will use reasonable efforts to ensure such compliance, the introduction of new regulations increases the risk of non-compliance.

Further, continued political uncertainty as a result of Brexit may result in negative effects on credit markets, and foreign direct investments in Europe and the United Kingdom. It may also result in volatility in the British pound foreign exchange markets and interest rates. See also the risk factor entitled "Currency, interest rate fluctuations and commodity prices may have a material impact on AMPSA's business."

Brexit could also lead to legal and regulatory uncertainty and politically divergent national laws and regulations as a new relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union is defined and the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or amend. Volatility in political, regulatory, economic or market conditions could adversely affect employment rates, increase consumer and commercial bankruptcy filings, negatively impact national and local economies, and cause other results that negatively affect household incomes.

The economic outlook could be further adversely affected by the risk that one or more European Union member states could also leave the European Union, the risk of a demand for independence by Scotland or Northern Ireland, or the risk that the euro as the single currency of any or all of the Eurozone member states could cease to exist. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on the stability of global financial markets, and could significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets. Asset valuations, currency exchange rates and credit ratings may be especially subject to increased market volatility. These negative impacts could adversely affect AMPSA's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic and any future epidemics may have a negative impact on worldwide economic activity and AMPSA's business.

The COVID-19 global pandemic and measures to prevent its spread has impacted AMPSA's business in a number of ways.

The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced global economic activity resulting in lower demand for certain of AMPSA's customers' products and, therefore, the products AMPSA manufactures, though demand for "at-home" consumption has increased and therefore demand for many of AMPSA

80

customers' products and, as a result, for the products AMPSA manufactures, has proven to be resilient to date during the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has at times caused, and may again give rise to an adverse effect on AMPSA's operations, including disruptions to its supply chain and workforce and the incurrence of increased costs. Although AMPSA's production has not been significantly impacted to date, its plants may be required to curtail or cease production in response to the spread of COVID-19. The COVID-19 impact on capital markets could also impact AMPSA's cost of borrowing. In addition, AMPSA's customers, distribution partners, service providers or suppliers may experience financial distress, file for bankruptcy protection, go out of business, or suffer disruptions in their business due to the outbreak of COVID-19, which would have a negative impact on AMPSA's business. The extent of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on AMPSA's business and results of operations continues to be uncertain.

The ultimate significance of these disruptions, including the extent of their adverse impact on AMPSA's financial and operational results, will be determined by the duration of the ongoing pandemic, its severity in the markets that AMPSA serves and the nature and efficacy of government and other regulatory responses, protective measures and vaccination programs, and the related impact on macroeconomic activity and consumer behavior.

If the COVID-19 pandemic continues unabated despite containment efforts, it could cause a severe economic slowdown and potentially an extended recession or depression, which would adversely affect the demand for AMPSA's products or cause other unpredictable events, each of which would adversely affect its business, results of operations or financial condition. Any future epidemics may also have similar, or more severe, effects on global economic activity and on AMPSA's business, results of operations or financial condition.

Increasing privacy and data security obligations or a significant data breach may adversely affect AMPSA's business.

AMPSA will continue its efforts to meet its data security obligations and manage evolving cybersecurity threats, including events such as the recent cyber security incident that was discovered by AGSA in May 2021 and is described in the section entitled "AMPSA Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments." Because the investigation of this incident is ongoing, it is unclear whether any data of AMPSA's employees, customers or suppliers was compromised as a result of this incident. The loss, disclosure, misappropriation of or access to employees' or business partners' information or its failure to meet its obligations could result in lost revenue, increased costs, legal claims or proceedings, liability or regulatory penalties. A significant data breach or AMPSA's failure to meet its obligations could adversely affect AMPSA's reputation and financial condition.

AMPSA's heavy reliance on technology and automated systems to operate its business could mean any significant failure or disruption of the technology or these systems could materially harm its business.

Similar to most other business entities, AMPSA depends on automated systems and technology to operate its business, including accounting systems, manufacturing systems and telecommunication systems. AMPSA operates a cyber and information risk management program, including operating a global information security function, which partners with global leaders in the security industry to deliver an integrated information and cyber risk management service using state-of-the-art technologies in areas including antivirus & anti-malware, email and web security platforms, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, cyber threat intelligence services and advanced persistent threat detection. Such services will be provided by Ardagh Group S.A. pursuant to the Services Agreement. AMPSA also partners with global leaders to deliver high availability and resilient systems and communication platforms. However, these systems could suffer substantial or repeated disruptions due to various

81

events, many of which are beyond AMPSA's control, including natural disasters, power failures, terrorist attacks, equipment or software failures, computer viruses or cyber security attacks.

On May 17, 2021, AGSA announced that it had recently experienced a cyber security incident, the response to which included temporarily shutting down certain IT systems and applications used by the AMP Business, as described in the section entitled "AMPSA Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments."

Substantial or repeated systems failures or disruptions, including through not effectively remediating systems failures, cyber security incidents and other disruptions, could result in the unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information, improper use of AMPSA's systems and networks, defective products, harm to individuals or property, contractual or regulatory actions and fines, penalties and potential liabilities, production downtime and operational disruptions and loss or compromise of important data, which may result in increased costs and lost revenue and competitiveness and may negatively impact its reputation, any of which could adversely affect AMPSA's business, results of operations and financial condition. Increased global IT security threats and more sophisticated and targeted computer crime may further increase this risk.

AMPSA's substantial debt could adversely affect its financial health and its ability to effectively manage and grow its business.

AMPSA incurred approximately $2.8 billion aggregate principal amount of indebtedness in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring. For more information, see the description of AMPSA's debt facilities and the table outlining its principal financing arrangements in "AMPSA Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."

AMPSA's substantial debt could have important negative consequences for AMPSA and for its shareholders. For example, AMPSA's substantial debt could:

•
  require it to dedicate a large portion of its cash flow from operations to service debt and fund repayments on its debt, thereby reducing the availability of its cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;
•
  increase its vulnerability to adverse general economic or industry conditions;
•
  limit its flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business or industry;
•
  limit its ability to raise additional debt or equity capital in the future;
•
  restrict AMPSA from making strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities; and
•
  place AMPSA at a competitive disadvantage compared to its competitors that have less debt.

In addition, AMPSA expects that debt under its asset based liability facility will, and in the future, a portion of its debt may, bear interest at variable rates that are linked to changing market interest rates. Although AMPSA may hedge a portion of its exposure to variable interest rates by entering into interest rate swaps, AMPSA cannot assure you that it will do so in the future. As a result, an increase in market interest rates would increase AMPSA's interest expense and debt service obligations, which would exacerbate the risks associated with its leveraged capital structure.

Further, notwithstanding AMPSA's current indebtedness levels and restrictive covenants, AMPSA may still be able to incur substantial additional debt or make certain restricted payments, which could exacerbate the risks described above.

Negative developments in AMPSA's business, results of operations and financial condition due to changes in global economic conditions or other factors could cause ratings agencies to lower the credit

82

ratings, or ratings outlook, of its short- and long-term debt and, consequently, impair its ability to raise new financing or refinance its current borrowings and increase its costs of issuing any new debt instruments.

If AMPSA fails to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, its ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

As a listed company on NYSE, AMPSA will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and NYSE. The requirements of these rules and regulations will make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things that, as a listed company, AMPSA's principal executive officer and principal financial officer certify the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting. AMPSA continues to develop and refine its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting. However, AMPSA has not yet assessed its internal control over financial reporting for the purposes of complying with item 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will only be required to do so beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Material weaknesses in AMPSA's internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could harm AMPSA's operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of AMPSA's financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could adversely affect the results of management evaluations and independent registered public accounting firm audits of AMPSA's internal control over financial reporting. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures or ineffective internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in AMPSA's reported financial information.

AMPSA will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a listed company on NYSE, and its management will devote substantial time to compliance initiatives.

If AMPSA completes the Merger and becomes a listed company on NYSE, it will incur certain additional legal, accounting and other expenses that it would not incur as a private company. As a listed company on NYSE, AMPSA will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and NYSE. AMPSA's management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, AMPSA expects these rules and regulations to substantially increase its legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. For example, AMPSA expects these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for it to obtain director and officer liability insurance and it may be forced to accept reduced policy limits or incur substantially higher costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. AMPSA cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs it may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for AMPSA to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on its board of directors or as executive officers.

83

There can be no assurance that the AMPSA Shares that will be issued in connection with the Merger or the AMPSA Warrants will be approved for listing on NYSE or, if approved, will continue to be so listed following the closing of the Merger, or that AMPSA will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of NYSE.

AMPSA's eligibility for listing may depend on, among other things, the number of shares of GHV Class A Common Stock that are redeemed. AMPSA intends to apply for the listing of the AMPSA Shares and AMPSA Warrants on NYSE. If NYSE denies its application for failure to meet the listing standards, AMPSA and its shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•
  a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;
•
  reduced liquidity for its securities;
•
  a determination that AMPSA Shares are a "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in the AMPSA Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for its securities;
•
  a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
•
  a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities." If the AMPSA Shares and Public Warrants are listed on NYSE, they will be covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of AMPSA's securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if the AMPSA Shares and Public Warrants are not listed on NYSE, its securities would not be covered securities and it would be subject to regulation in each state in which it offers its securities.

Anti-takeover provisions in AMPSA's articles of association ("Articles") might discourage or delay attempts to acquire it.

AMPSA's Articles contain provisions that may make the acquisition of AMPSA more difficult, including the following:

•
  Classified Board. AMPSA's board of directors is classified into three classes of directors that are, as nearly as possible, of equal size. Each class of directors will be elected for a three-year term of office, but the terms are staggered so that the term of only one class of directors expires at each annual general meeting. The existence of a classified board could impede a proxy contest or delay a successful tender offeror from obtaining majority control of the board of directors, and the prospect of that delay might deter a potential offeror.
•
  Notice Requirements for Shareholder Proposals. Luxembourg law and AMPSA's Articles provide that one or more shareholders together holding at least 10% of the share capital of AMPSA may request the addition of one or more items to the agenda of any general meeting. The request must be sent to the registered office by registered mail, at least five clear days before the meeting is held. AMPSA's Articles also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a shareholder's notice. These requirements may make it difficult for AMPSA's shareholders to bring matters before a general meeting.

84

•
  Special Resolutions. AMPSA's Articles require special resolutions adopted at an extraordinary general meeting for any of the following matters, among other things: (a) an increase or decrease of the authorized or issued capital, (b) an amendment to the Articles and (c) dissolving AMPSA. Pursuant to AMPSA's Articles, for any special resolutions to be considered at a general meeting the quorum is in excess of one-half (1/2) of the share capital in issue present in person or by proxy unless otherwise mandatorily required by Luxembourg law. If such quorum is not met at a first extraordinary general meeting, a second meeting may be convened, and such second meeting shall validly deliberate regardless of the proportion of the capital represented. Any special resolution may be adopted at a general meeting at which a quorum is present (except as otherwise provided by mandatory law) by the affirmative votes of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes validly cast on such resolution by shareholders entitled to vote.

These anti-takeover provisions could discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of AMPSA, even if such transaction would benefit its shareholders.

AMPSA's ability to operate its business effectively depends in large part on certain administrative and other support functions provided to it by Ardagh Group pursuant to the Services Agreement. Following the expiration or termination of the Services Agreement, AMPSA's ability to operate its business effectively may suffer if it is unable to cost-effectively establish its own administrative and other support functions in order to operate as a stand-alone company.

AMPSA will rely on certain administrative and other resources of Ardagh Group, including information technology, financial reporting, tax, treasury, human resources, procurement, insurance and risk management and legal services, to operate its business. In connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring, AMPSA expects to enter into a mutual Services Agreement with Ardagh Group to retain the ability to use these Ardagh Group resources. The mutual Services Agreement may be terminated as to any services or entirely by either AMPSA or Ardagh Group and for any reason as of and from December 31, 2024 or by either party upon a change of control of the other party, in either case with nine months' prior written notice to the party undergoing a change of control. See the section entitled "Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Services Agreement." These services may not be sufficient to meet AMPSA's needs and may not be provided at the same level as when the entities comprising AMPSA was part of Ardagh Group. AMPSA and Ardagh Group will each rely on the other to perform its obligations under the Services Agreement. If Ardagh Group were unable to satisfy its material obligations under the agreement, or if the agreement is terminated as to any services or entirely, AMPSA may not be able to obtain such services at all or obtain the services on terms as favorable as those in the Services Agreement, and could as a result suffer operational difficulties or significant losses.

In addition, the price for the corporate services provided pursuant to the Services Agreement have been fixed for calendar years 2021 through 2024 (subject to certain adjustments for third party pass-through costs and variations in volume-based services), but as of December 31, 2024, or if earlier, the date upon which AMPSA or Ardagh Group undergoes a change of control, the services will be provided at a price equal to the fully allocated cost of such services, or such other price to be negotiated in good faith by the parties, taking into consideration various factors, including the cost of providing such services and the level of services expected to be provided. There are no assurances that these fixed fees are more favorable than the price that AMPSA would have been able to pay if it obtained such services at a price equal to the fully allocated cost of such services or, if it had obtained such services from one or more third parties. There are also no assurances that the price of the services, when adjusted as of December 31, 2024 or upon a change of control of AMPSA or Ardagh Group, will not be significantly greater than the fixed price established for these services prior to such adjustment. In addition, prior to the date on which the Services Agreement was entered into, AMPSA and its subsidiaries have received informal support from Ardagh Group as wholly owned subsidiaries of

85

Ardagh Group, and the level of this informal support may diminish following the Business Combination and as AMPSA becomes a more independent company. Any failure or significant interruption of AMPSA's own administrative systems or in Ardagh Group's administrative systems during the term of the Services Agreement could result in unexpected costs, impact AMPSA's results or prevent it from paying its suppliers or employees and performing other administrative services on a timely basis.

AMPSA may have received better terms from unaffiliated third parties than the terms it has received in the Services Agreement with Ardagh Group.

The terms of the Services Agreement were agreed while AMPSA was a wholly owned subsidiary of Ardagh Group and in the context that Ardagh Group will have a controlling interest of AMPSA following the Merger. Accordingly, during the period in which the Services Agreement was prepared, AMPSA did not have an independent board of directors or a management team that was independent of Ardagh Group. As a result, the terms of the agreement may not reflect terms that would have resulted from arms'-length negotiations between unaffiliated third parties and any such arms' length negotiations with an unaffiliated third party may have resulted in more favorable terms to AMPSA.

AMPSA does not have a history as a separate public company.

In the past, AMPSA's operations have been a part of Ardagh Group and Ardagh Group provided it with certain financial, operational and managerial resources for conducting its business. Following the Merger, while a number of these resources will continue to be at Ardagh Group and used to provide services to AMPSA under the Service Agreement, AMPSA will perform certain of its own financial, operational and managerial functions. There are no assurances that AMPSA will be able to successfully put in place the financial, operational and managerial resources necessary to perform these functions.

The AMP Business historical financial results and Combined Financial Statements may not be representative of AMPSA's results as a separate company.

The AMP Business historical financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus has been derived on a carve-out basis from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Ardagh Group and does not necessarily reflect what AMPSA's financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been had it been a separate company during the periods presented. Although Ardagh Group did account for AMPSA's business as separate reporting segments, AMPSA was not operated as a separate company for the historical periods presented. The historical costs and expenses reflected in the Combined Financial Statements include an allocation for certain corporate functions historically provided by Ardagh Group, most of which will continue to be provided pursuant to the Services Agreement. These allocations were based on what management considered to be reasonable reflections of the historical utilization levels of these services required in support of AMPSA's business. The historical information does not necessarily reflect what the cost to AMPSA of these functions will be in the future, pursuant to the Services Agreement or otherwise. For additional information in relation to materially significant related party transactions during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 , see note disclosures 2, 5, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 22 to the Combined Financial Statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Any further related party transactions in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were both immaterial and no more than incidental in nature.

A significant write down of goodwill would have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's financial condition and results of operations.

Goodwill at December 31, 2020 totaled $1.06 billion. AMPSA evaluates goodwill annually following approval of the annual budget or whenever indicators suggest that impairment may have occurred. The determination of the recoverable amounts of goodwill requires the use of estimates and

86

assumptions which are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. As described further in the Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, AMPSA uses the value in use ("VIU") model for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, as this reflects the intention to hold and operate the assets. However, if an impairment indicator exists for a CGU, AMPSA also uses the fair value less costs of disposal ("FVLCD") model in order to establish the recoverable amount being the higher of the VIU model and FVLCD model when compared to the carrying value of the CGU. Sensitivity analysis is performed reflecting potential variations in assumptions. Future changes in the estimates and assumptions used in the VIU or FVLCD models, general market conditions, or other factors may cause the goodwill to be impaired, resulting in a non cash charge against results of operations to write down goodwill for the amount of the impairment. If a significant write down is required, the charge would have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's financial condition and results of operations.

Additional Risks Related to the Merger

The results of operations of AMPSA may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

This proxy statement/prospectus includes unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for AMPSA after giving effect to the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement combines GHV's historical audited statement of operations for the period from June 25, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, with the AMP Business's historical audited combined income statement for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, and gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position combines GHV's historical audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, and the AMP Business's historical audited combined statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated as of December 31, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only, are based on certain assumptions, address a hypothetical situation and reflect limited historical financial data. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination been consummated on the dates indicated above, or the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of AMPSA. Accordingly, AMPSA's business, assets, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition may differ significantly from those indicated by the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this document. For more information, see the section entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

AMPSA will be controlled by Ardagh Group, whose interests may conflict with AMPSA's interests and, after the completion of the Merger, the interests of other shareholders.

Ardagh Group currently indirectly owns 100% of AMPSA's outstanding shares and, upon completion of the Merger, will own approximately 80% of the outstanding AMPSA Shares. In addition, pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, Ardagh Group's ability to sell its AMPSA Shares will be restricted for 180 days after the closing of the Merger. As a controlling shareholder of AMPSA, Ardagh Group will be able to exercise significant influence over AMPSA's business policies and affairs, including the composition of its board of directors and any action

87

requiring approval of its shareholders. In addition, after completion of the Merger and as long as Ardagh Group beneficially owns a specified number of the outstanding shares of AMPSA, pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, Ardagh Group has the right to designate a specified number of directors, including the chair, to AMPSA's board of directors, receive access to certain information for the benefit of Ardagh Group, approve certain significant actions of AMPSA, receive AMPSA's cooperation with certain matters relating to AMPSA, and access certain information for registration rights with respect to its shares of AMPSA. For more information, see the section entitled "Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Shareholders Agreement."

Additionally, being a controlled company, relevant risks materializing at the ultimate parent level could have a negative impact on AMPSA's share price, financial condition, credit ratings or reputation. It is also possible that Ardagh Group's controlling shareholders may take actions in relation to AMPSA's business that are not entirely in its best interests or the best interests of the other shareholders of Ardagh Group or those of AMPSA.

Future sales of the AMPSA Shares, including by Ardagh Group, the Subscribers and the GHV Sponsor could have a negative impact on the price of the AMPSA Shares.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements with the Subscribers, AMPSA has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC registering the shares issued to the Subscribers within 30 days of the closing of the Merger to facilitate their ability to sell their AMPSA Shares in the public market. In addition, pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, following the expiration of a 180-day lock-up period, the GHV Sponsor and Ardagh Group have the right to request AMPSA to register their Shares for purposes of effecting sales of those AMPSA Shares in the public market. Future sales of the AMPSA Shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for the AMPSA Shares, including by the Subscribers, the GHV Sponsor and Ardagh Group, or the perception that sales may be made by these shareholders could significantly reduce the market price of the AMPSA Shares. Further, even if none of these shareholders sell a large number of the AMPSA Shares into the market, their right to sell their AMPSA Shares as contemplated by these agreements may depress the price of the AMPSA Shares.

In addition, if AMPSA issues substantial additional Shares, the ownership of its existing shareholders would be diluted and its earnings per share could be reduced, which may negatively affect the market price of its Shares.

There may not be a robust market for AMPSA's securities, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of its securities.

Following the Merger, the price of AMPSA's securities may fluctuate significantly due to the market's reaction to the Merger and general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for AMPSA's securities following the Merger may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In addition, the price of AMPSA's securities after the Merger can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, its general business condition and the release of its financial reports. Additionally, if AMPSA's securities become delisted from NYSE for any reason and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of its securities may be more limited than they were quoted or listed on NYSE or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your AMPSA Shares and public warrants unless a market can be established or sustained.

88

If, following the Merger, securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about AMPSA or its business or cease publishing research or reports about its market, or if they make recommendations regarding AMPSA Shares that is unfavorable to AMPSA, then the price of AMPSA Shares could decline.

The trading market for AMPSA Shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about the AMPSA, its business, its market, or its competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on GHV or, except to the extent included in analysts' coverage reports of Ardagh Group, AMPSA. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of AMPSA as a public company, its share price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts that cover AMPSA make an unfavorable recommendation regarding AMPSA Shares, or provide more favorable relative recommendations regarding AMPSA's competitors, the price of AMPSA Shares would likely decline. If in the future any analyst ceases coverage of AMPSA or fails to regularly publish reports regarding AMPSA, it could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause its share price to decline.

AMPSA and GHV will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending.

Uncertainty about the effects of the Merger on AMPSA's business, management team, employees, or third parties may have an adverse effect on AMPSA and GHV. These uncertainties may impair AMPSA's ability to retain and motivate key personnel and could cause third parties that deal with AMPSA to defer entering into contracts or making other decisions or seek to change existing business relationships. If key team members depart because of uncertainty about their future roles and the potential complexities of the Merger, AMPSA's business could be harmed.

Risks Related to Investment in a Luxembourg Company and AMPSA's Status as a Foreign Private Issuer

As a foreign private issuer, AMPSA will be exempt from a number of U.S. securities laws and rules promulgated thereunder and will be permitted to publicly disclose less information than U.S. public companies are required to disclose. This may limit the information available to holders of AMPSA Shares. Conversely, if AMPSA loses its foreign private issuer status in the future, this could result in significant additional costs and expenses.

AMPSA will qualify as a "foreign private issuer," as defined in the SEC's rules and regulations, and, consequently, will not be subject to all of the disclosure requirements applicable to public companies organized within the United States. For example, AMPSA will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that regulate disclosure obligations and procedural requirements related to the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations applicable to securities registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, AMPSA's officers and directors are exempt from the reporting and "short-swing" profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules with respect to their purchases and sales of AMPSA's securities, such that any such sales will not be required to be disclosed as promptly as they would need to be disclosed if AMPSA was a public company organized within the United States. Accordingly, once such sales are eventually disclosed, the price of AMPSA Shares may decline significantly. Moreover, AMPSA will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. public companies are. AMPSA will also not be subject to Regulation FD under the Exchange Act, which would prohibit AMPSA from selectively disclosing material nonpublic information to certain persons without concurrently making a widespread public disclosure of such information. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning AMPSA than there is for U.S. public companies.

As a foreign private issuer, AMPSA will file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the close of each fiscal year ended December 31, and furnish reports on Form 6-K relating to certain

89

material events promptly after AMPSA publicly announces these events. However, because of the exemptions for foreign private issuers, which AMPSA intends to rely on, AMPSA Shareholders may not be afforded the same information generally available to investors holding shares in public companies that are not foreign private issuers.

In the future, AMPSA could lose its foreign private issuer status if a majority of its shares are held by residents in the United States and it fails to meet any one of the additional "business contacts" requirements. Although AMPSA intends to follow certain practices that are consistent with U.S. regulatory provisions applicable to U.S. companies, AMPSA's loss of foreign private issuer status would make compliance with these provisions mandatory. The regulatory and compliance costs to AMPSA if it is deemed to be a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly higher than if it retains its foreign private issuer status. If AMPSA is not a foreign private issuer, AMPSA will be required to file periodic reports and prospectuses on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. For example, AMPSA would become subject to Regulation FD, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. Additionally, AMPSA would be required to change its basis of accounting from IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Boards ("IASB") to U.S. GAAP, which may be difficult and costly for it to comply with. If AMPSA loses its foreign private issuer status and fails to comply with U.S. securities laws applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, AMPSA may have to de-list from NYSE and could be subject to investigation by the SEC, NYSE and other regulators, among other potentially materially adverse consequences.

AMPSA will qualify for and will rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.

AMPSA will be exempt from certain corporate governance requirements of NYSE by virtue of being a "foreign private issuer" and a "controlled company." Although AMPSA's foreign private issuer status exempts it from most of NYSE's corporate governance requirements, AMPSA intends to voluntarily comply with these requirements, except those from which AMPSA would be exempt by virtue of being a "controlled company." Following the consummation of the Merger, Ardagh Group will continue to control, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting power of AMPSA's issued and outstanding shares and thus AMPSA would be a controlled company within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards, entitled to certain limited corporate governance exemptions. Under these NYSE standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by another person or group of persons acting together is a controlled company and may elect not to comply with certain NYSE corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that:

•
  a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors;
•
  the nominating and governance committee be composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities;
•
  the compensation committee be composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities; and
•
  there be an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees.

Following the consummation of the Merger, AMPSA will be a controlled company, and AMPSA intends to utilize certain of these exemptions. In addition, although AMPSA will have adopted charters for its audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees, its compensation and nominating and governance committees are not expected to be composed of independent directors.

As a result of the foregoing exemptions, AMPSA can cease voluntary compliance with NYSE's corporate governance requirements at any time, and you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of NYSE corporate governance requirements.

90

AMPSA is organized under the laws of Luxembourg and a substantial amount of its assets are not located in the United States. It may be difficult for you to obtain or enforce judgments or bring actions against AMPSA or its directors and officers in the United States.

AMPSA is organized under the laws of Luxembourg. In addition, a substantial amount of its assets are located outside the United States. Furthermore, many of AMPSA's directors and officers, as well as certain other persons named herein, reside outside the United States, and will continue to reside outside the United States. As a result, although AMPSA has appointed an agent for service of process in the United States, investors may not be able to effect service of process within the United States upon AMPSA or these persons or enforce judgments obtained against AMPSA or these persons in U.S. courts, including judgments in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Likewise, it also may be difficult for an investor to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against AMPSA or these persons in courts located in jurisdictions outside the United States, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Awards of punitive damages in actions brought in the United States or elsewhere are generally not enforceable in Luxembourg.

Any judgments obtained in any U.S. federal or state court against AMPSA may have to be enforced in the courts of Luxembourg or other EU member states. As there is no treaty in force on the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters between the United States and Luxembourg, courts in Luxembourg will not automatically recognize and enforce a final judgment rendered by a U.S. court. A valid judgment obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States may be entered and enforced through a court of competent jurisdiction in Luxembourg, subject to compliance with the enforcement procedures (exequatur). The enforceability in Luxembourg courts of judgments rendered by U.S. courts will be subject, prior to any enforcement in Luxembourg, to the procedure and the conditions set forth in the Luxembourg procedural code, which conditions may include the following as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (which may change):

•
  the judgment of the U.S. court is final and enforceable (exécutoire) in the United States and has not been enforced in the United States;
•
  the U.S. court had jurisdiction over the subject matter leading to the judgment (that is, its jurisdiction was in compliance both with Luxembourg private international law and local law rules and with the applicable domestic U.S. federal or state jurisdictional rules);
•
  the judgment was granted following proceedings where the counterparty had the opportunity to appear, and if it appeared, to present a defense and other conditions for a fair trial have been complied with taking into account all facts and circumstances whether occurring before, during or after trial or issue and delivery of the judgement, and the judgment has not been obtained by reason of fraud;
•
  the U.S. court applied the substantive laws as designated by the Luxembourg conflict of law rules;
•
  the U.S. judgment does not contravene international public policy (ordre public) or order, both substantive and procedural, as understood under the laws of Luxembourg or has been given in proceedings of a criminal nature; and
•
  the absence of contradiction between such judgment and an already issued judgment of a Luxembourg court.

In addition, actions brought in a Luxembourg court against AMPSA, the members of its board of directors, its officers, or the experts named herein to enforce liabilities based on U.S. federal securities laws may be subject to certain restrictions. In particular, Luxembourg courts generally do not award

91

punitive damages. Litigation in Luxembourg also is subject to rules of procedure that differ from the U.S. rules, including, with respect to the taking and admissibility of evidence, the conduct of the proceedings and the allocation of costs. Proceedings in Luxembourg would have to be conducted in the French or German language, and all documents submitted to the court would, in principle, have to be translated into French or German. For these reasons, it may be difficult for a U.S. investor to bring an action in a Luxembourg court predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against AMPSA, the members of its board of directors, its officers, or the experts named herein. In addition, even if a judgment against AMPSA, the non-U.S. members of its board of directors, its officers, or the experts named in this proxy statement/prospectus based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws is obtained, a U.S. investor may not be able to enforce it in U.S. or Luxembourg courts.

The directors and officers of AMPSA have entered into, or will enter into, indemnification agreements with AMPSA. Under such agreements, the directors and officers will be entitled to indemnification from AMPSA to the fullest extent permitted by Luxemburg law against liability and expenses reasonably incurred or paid by them in connection with claims, actions, suits or proceedings in which they become involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of performing or having performed as a director or officer, and against amounts paid or incurred by them in the settlement of such claims, actions, suits or proceedings. Luxembourg law and AMPSA's Articles permit AMPSA to indemnify directors against any expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in connection with liability of a director towards AMPSA or a third party for management errors, i.e., for wrongful acts committed during the execution of the mandate (mandat) granted to the director by AMPSA, except in connection with criminal offenses, gross negligence, fraud or dishonesty. The rights to and obligations of indemnification among or between AMPSA and any of its current or former directors and officers are generally governed by the laws of Luxembourg and subject to the jurisdiction of the Luxembourg courts, unless such rights or obligations do not relate to or arise out of such persons' capacities listed above. Although there is doubt as to whether U.S. courts would enforce this indemnification provision in an action brought in the United States under U.S. federal or state securities laws, this provision could make it more difficult to obtain judgments outside Luxembourg or from non-Luxembourg jurisdictions that would apply Luxembourg law against AMPSA's assets in Luxembourg.

Luxembourg and European insolvency and bankruptcy laws are substantially different from U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws and may offer AMPSA's shareholders less protection than they would have under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws.

As a company organized under the laws of Luxembourg and with its registered office in Luxembourg, AMPSA is subject to Luxembourg insolvency and bankruptcy laws in the event any insolvency proceedings are initiated against it including, among other things, Council and European Parliament Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings (recast). Should courts in another European country determine that the insolvency and bankruptcy laws of that country apply to AMPSA in accordance with and subject to such European Union regulations, the courts in that country could have jurisdiction over the insolvency proceedings initiated against AMPSA. Insolvency and bankruptcy laws in Luxembourg or the relevant other European country, if any, may offer AMPSA's shareholders less protection than they would have under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws and make it more difficult for them to recover the amount they could expect to recover in a liquidation under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws.

AMPSA's Articles include compulsory share transfer provisions that may not provide AMPSA minority shareholders with the same benefits as they would have as stockholders of a Delaware corporation.

AMPSA has included in its Articles provisions that give the holder of 75% of the number of its outstanding shares the right to acquire AMPSA's outstanding shares held by all other holders at such

92

time for a purchase price payable in cash that is equal to the fair market value of such shares, as determined by an independent investment banking firm of international reputation in accordance with the procedures contained in AMPSA's Articles. Upon completion of the Merger, AGSA will own approximately 80% of the outstanding AMPSA Shares. AMPSA's Articles include a dispute resolution provision permitting holders of at least 10% of the shares of the Company held by AMPSA's minority shareholders at that time to dispute the purchase price proposed by the acquiring shareholder. It is uncertain whether AMPSA's minority shareholders will be able to coordinate with each other in a manner that will enable them to take full advantage of these provisions. There can be no assurance that these provisions would result in a price as favorable to AMPSA's minority shareholders as they would receive as stockholders of a corporation subject to Delaware law and appraisal rights.

The rights of AMPSA Shareholders may differ from the rights they would have as shareholders of a U.S. corporation and consequently AMPSA Shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests.

AMPSA's corporate affairs are governed by its Articles and Luxembourg law, including the Luxembourg law of 10 August 1915, on commercial companies, as amended. The rights of AMPSA's shareholders and the responsibilities of its directors and officers under Luxembourg law are different from those applicable to a corporation incorporated in the United States.

In the performance of its duties, the board of directors is required to act as a collegiate body in the interest of AMPSA. It is possible that AMPSA may have interests that are different from interests of the shareholders. If any member of AMPSA's board of directors has a direct or indirect financial interest in a matter which has to be considered by the board of directors which conflicts with the interests of AMPSA, Luxembourg Law provides that such director will not be entitled to participate in deliberations on and exercise his vote with respect to the approval of such transaction. If the financial interest of such a member of the board of directors does not conflict with the interests of AMPSA, then the applicable director with such interest may participate in deliberations on, and vote on the approval of, that transaction.

Further, under Luxembourg law, there may be less publicly available information about AMPSA than is regularly published by or about U.S. issuers. In addition, Luxembourg law governing the securities of Luxembourg companies may not be as extensive as those in effect in the United States, and Luxembourg law and regulations in respect of corporate governance matters might not be as protective of minority shareholders as state corporation laws in the United States. Therefore, AMPSA's shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in connection with actions taken by its directors and officers or its principal shareholders than they would as shareholders of a corporation incorporated in the United States.

Neither AMPSA's Articles nor Luxembourg law provides for appraisal rights for dissenting shareholders in certain extraordinary corporate transactions that may otherwise be available to shareholders under certain U.S. state laws. As a result of these differences, AMPSA's shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests in the event that any extraordinary corporate transactions were to occur than they would as shareholders of a U.S. issuer.

AMPSA anticipates that all of its shareholder meetings will take place in Luxembourg. Shareholders may vote by proxy or in person at any general meeting.

Risks Relating to GHV and the Merger

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal described in this proxy statement/prospectus, regardless of how the Public Stockholders vote.

Unlike some other special purpose acquisition companies in which the founders agree to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of public stock in

93

connection with an initial business combination, the Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any shares of GHV Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Merger Proposal. As of the date hereof, the Initial Stockholders own shares equal to 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received for the Merger Proposal than would be the case if the Initial Stockholders agreed to vote any shares of GHV Common Stock owned by them in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the Public Stockholders.

The GHV Sponsor, certain members of the GHV Board and GHV's officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or are in addition to other stockholders in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Merger Proposal and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In considering the recommendation of the GHV Board to vote for the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal, you should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and certain members of the GHV Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. The GHV Board is aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and transaction agreements and in recommending to GHV's stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

•
  the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the GHV Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the GHV Founder Shares that will be exchanged for AMPSA Shares at the Merger Effective Time, and which AMPSA Shares would, if unrestricted and freely tradable, have a value of approximately $98 million at the Merger Effective Time (based on per share price of $10), but given the restrictions on such AMPSA Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, GHV believes such AMPSA Shares have less value;
•
  the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their GHV Founder Shares if GHV fails to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $12,500,000 for its 6,250,000 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of GHV Class A Common Stock, and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire and become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by August 10, 2022;
•
  if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event GHV is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the GHV Sponsor has agreed to indemnify GHV to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which GHV has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to GHV, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;
•
  the continued indemnification of GHV's existing directors and officers and the purchase of a tail policy with respect to GHV's directors' and officers' existing liability insurance;

94

•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in GHV and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if GHV does not consummate an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has the right to nominate two independent directors to AMPSA's board of directors as of the Closing;
•
  that, at the closing of the Merger, GHV will enter into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, which provides for registration rights to the holders of AMPSA Shares that are parties thereto and their permitted transferees;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor and members of the GHV Board and management would hold the following number of shares in AMPSA at the Closing:

Name of Person/Entity |  | Number of AMPSA Shares |  | Value of AMPSA Shares(1) |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Gores Sponsor V LLC |  |  | 9,768,750(2) |  | $ | 97,687,500 |
Alec E. Gores |  |  | 9,928,250(3) |  | $ | 99,282,500 |
Mark R. Stone |  |  | — |  | $ | — |
Andrew McBride |  |  | — |  | $ | — |
Randall Bort |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |
William Patton |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |
Jeffrey Rea |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |

(1)
  Based on a per share price of $10.00.
(2)
  Excluding the GHV Sponsor Backstop.
(3)
  Represents (i) 159,500 shares that Mr. Gores has committed to purchase in the PIPE, plus (ii) 9,768,750 shares held by GHV Sponsor which is controlled indirectly by Mr. Gores. Mr. Gores ultimately exercises voting and dispositive power of the securities held by GHV Sponsor. Voting and disposition decisions with respect to such securities are made by Mr. Gores. Mr. Gores disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.

•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has entered into a Subscription Agreement with AMPSA and GHV, pursuant to which the GHV Sponsor has committed to purchase 2.5 million AMPSA Shares in the PIPE for an aggregate commitment of approximately $25 million, provided that the GHV Sponsor has the right to syndicate the AMPSA Shares purchased under such Subscription Agreement in advance of the Closing;
•
  that an affiliate of the GHV Sponsor, Mr. Alec E. Gores, has committed to purchase 159,500 AMPSA Shares in the PIPE for an aggregate commitment of approximately $1,595,000 in connection with the syndication by the GHV Sponsor of its portion of the PIPE; and
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has committed to acquire up to 9.5 million AMPSA Shares at a per share price of $10.00 in the event that there are redemptions from the Trust Account that are in excess of $1 million.

The personal and financial interests of GHV's officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting AMPSA, completing a business combination with AMPSA and may influence their operation of AMPSA following the Merger. This risk may become more acute as the deadline of August 10, 2022 for completing an initial business combination nears.

95

The GHV Sponsor, AGSA, and each of their respective affiliates and their respective directors or officers may elect to purchase shares from Public Stockholders, which may influence a vote on the Merger Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement and reduce the public "float" of the GHV Class A Common Stock (or, following the Closing, the AMPSA Shares).

The GHV Sponsor, AGSA, and each of their respective affiliates and their respective directors or officers may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to the completion of the Merger, although they are under no obligation to do so. A purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of our shares is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the Merger Proposal and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Merger Proposal. This may result in the completion of the Merger that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public "float" of the GHV Class A Common Stock (prior to the Closing) or the AMPSA Shares (following the Closing), and the number of beneficial holders of GHV's securities (prior to the Closing) or of the AMPSA Shares (following the Closing) may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of such securities on Nasdaq or NYSE or reducing the liquidity of the trading market for such securities.

The GHV stockholders will experience substantial dilution as a consequence of the Merger. Having a minority share position will significantly reduce the influence that GHV's current stockholders have on the management of AMPSA relative to the current GHV stockholders' influence on the management of GHV.

It is anticipated, upon completion of the Merger, and assuming that no shares are elected to be redeemed: (i) the Public Stockholders (other than the Subscribers) will retain an ownership interest of approximately 8.6% in AMPSA following the consummation of the Merger; (ii) the Subscribers will own approximately 9.9% of AMPSA (such that Public Stockholders, including Subscribers, will own approximately 18.5% of AMPSA); (iii) the Initial Stockholders (including our Sponsor) will own approximately 1.6% of AMPSA; and (iv) AGSA will own approximately 79.9% of AMPSA.

GHV has no operating history and is subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement. As such, there is a risk that GHV will be unable to continue as a going concern if GHV does not consummate an initial business combination by August 10, 2022. Unless GHV amends its current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock) and amends certain other agreements into which it has entered to extend the life of GHV, if GHV is unable to effect an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, GHV will be forced to liquidate and the GHV Warrants will expire worthless.

GHV is a special purpose acquisition company, and as GHV has no operating history and is subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement, there is a risk that GHV will be unable to continue as a going concern if GHV does not consummate an initial business combination by August 10, 2022. Unless GHV amends its current certificate of incorporation to extend the life of GHV and certain other agreements into which GHV has entered, if GHV does not complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, GHV will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest not previously released to the GHV to fund its working capital requirements plus Regulatory Withdrawals and/or its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then

96

outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of GHV's remaining stockholders and the GHV Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to GHV's obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per GHV Unit in the IPO. In addition, if GHV fails to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Public Warrants or the Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless. GHV expects to consummate the Merger and does not intend to take any action to extend the life of GHV beyond August 10, 2022 if GHV is unable to effect an initial business combination by that date.

The ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of key personnel, including AMPSA's key personnel whom GHV expects to stay with AMPSA following the Business Combination. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of AMPSA and its financial condition could suffer as a result.

The ability to successfully effect the Business Combination is dependent upon the efforts of key personnel of GHV, AMPSA and AGSA. It is possible that any of GHV, AMPSA or AGSA will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact the ability to successfully effect the Business Combination. GHV anticipates that some or all of the management of AMPSA will remain in place following the Merger.

AMPSA's success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of senior management, certain of whom would be difficult to replace. Departure by certain of AMPSA's officers could have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business, financial condition, or operating results. AMPSA does not maintain key-man life insurance on any of its officers. The services of such personnel may not continue to be available to AMPSA.

GHV may waive one or more of the conditions to the Merger.

GHV may agree to waive, in whole or in part, one or more of the conditions to its obligations to complete the Merger, to the extent permitted by GHV's current certificate of incorporation and bylaws and applicable laws. However, if the GHV Board determines that a failure to satisfy the condition is not material, then the GHV Board may elect to waive that condition and close the Merger. GHV may not waive the condition that GHV's stockholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Merger. Please see the section entitled "The Business Combination Agreement—Conditions to Closing the Merger" for additional information.

The exercise of discretion by GHV's directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of GHV's stockholders.

In the period leading up to the closing of the Merger, other events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require GHV to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions or to waive rights that GHV is entitled to under those agreements. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of AMPSA's business, a request by AMPSA to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on AMPSA's business and would entitle GHV to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be in the discretion of the Company, acting through the GHV

97

Board, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described elsewhere in this proxy statement may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he or she may believe is best for GHV and its stockholders and what he or she may believe is best for himself or herself or his or her affiliates in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, GHV does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that GHV's directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Merger has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, if there is a change to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement that would have a material impact on the stockholders, GHV will be required to circulate a new or amended proxy statement or supplement thereto and resolicit the vote of GHV's stockholders with respect to the Merger Proposal.

GHV and AMPSA will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

GHV and AMPSA have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Merger. If the Merger fails to be consummated, all expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be paid by the party incurring such fees and expenses. If the Merger is consummated, AMPSA will pay all such costs and expenses, whether incurred by GHV or Ardagh Group, subject to a $50 million cap on GHV's expenses.

GHV's transaction expenses as a result of the Business Combination are currently estimated at approximately $45,000,000, including $18,375,000 in deferred underwriting commissions to the underwriters of our IPO. The amount of the deferred underwriting commissions will not be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with an initial business combination. The per-share amount GHV will distribute to stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions and after such redemptions, the per-share value of shares held by non-redeeming stockholders will reflect GHV's obligation to pay the deferred underwriting commissions.

The GHV Warrants are being accounted for as liabilities and are being recorded at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value each period reported in GHV's earnings. The changes in value of GHV Warrants could have an adverse effect on the market price of the GHV Class A Common Stock and/or an adverse effect on GHV's financial results.

In light of the Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies issued by the staff of the SEC issued on April 12, 2021 (the "SEC Staff Statement"), and guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815-40, GHV's management evaluated the terms of the GHV Warrants issued in connection with the IPO, including the Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants, and concluded that the GHV Warrants include provisions that, based on the SEC Staff Statement, preclude the GHV Warrants from being classified as components of equity. As described in GHV's financial statements, and the notes and schedules related thereto, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, GHV is accounting for the GHV Warrants as a derivative liability and is recording that liability at fair value upon issuance and is recording any subsequent changes in fair value as of the end of each period for which earnings are reported, as GHV determines based upon a valuation report obtained from its independent third party valuation firm. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the GHV Class A Common Stock and/or GHV's financial results.

Additionally, in connection with GHV's evaluation of the GHV Warrants in connection with the SEC Staff Statement, GHV's management reassessed the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and

98

procedures for GHV's previous financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from June 25, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, as well as GHV's financial data as of August 10, 2020 (collectively, the "Affected Periods") and concluded that, due to the industry-wide issues and related insufficient risk assessment of the underlying accounting for certain instruments, GHV management's disclosure controls and procedures for such period were not effective. Moreover, GHV's management reassessed the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021 and, in light of the SEC Staff Statement, concluded that GHV management's disclosure controls and procedures for such period were not effective. Further, GHV has determined its insufficient risk assessment of the underlying accounting for certain financial instruments to be a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting. If GHV is unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, GHV may not be able to accurately report its financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in GHV and materially and adversely affect GHV's business and operating results. Any required remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that such measures will ultimately have the intended effects.

GHV has restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from June 25, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, as well as its financial data as of August 10, 2020, which may lead to additional risks and uncertainties, including loss of investor confidence and negative impacts on the stock price of GHV.

On May 9, 2021, GHV concluded that GHV's prior accounting for its outstanding warrants incorrectly reflected them as components of equity instead of as liabilities, and as a result thereof, GHV's previous financial statements for the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon. As a result, GHV restated its financial statements for the Affected Periods and determined its insufficient risk assessment of the underlying accounting for certain financial instruments to be a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting. The issues identified were all noncash and did not impact GHV's cash flows or cash for the Affected Periods or the year ended December 31, 2020. As a result of the foregoing matters, GHV may become subject to additional risks and uncertainties, including, among others, unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees, the increased possibility of legal proceedings, shareholder lawsuits, governmental agency investigations, and inquiries by the Nasdaq Stock Market or other regulatory bodies, which could cause investors to lose confidence in GHV's reported financial information and could subject GHV to civil or criminal penalties, shareholder class actions or derivative actions. GHV could face monetary judgments, penalties or other sanctions that could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause its stock price to decline. If any such actions occur, such actions will, regardless of the outcome, consume a significant amount of management's time and attention and may result in additional legal, accounting, insurance and other costs. If GHV does not prevail in any such proceedings, it could be required to pay damages or settlement costs. In addition, the restatement and related matters could impair the reputation of GHV. Each of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on GHV's business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

If GHV is unable to complete an initial business combination, GHV's Public Stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of the Trust Account (or less than $10.00 per share in certain circumstances where a third party brings a claim against GHV that the GHV Sponsor is unable to indemnify), and the GHV warrants will expire worthless.

Unless GHV amends its current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock) and amends certain other agreements into which it has entered to extend the life of GHV, if GHV is unable to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, GHV's Public Stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of the Trust Account (or less than $10.00 per share in certain circumstances

99

where a third-party brings a claim against GHV that the GHV Sponsor is unable to indemnify (as described herein)) and the GHV Warrants will expire worthless.

If third parties bring claims against GHV, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

GHV's placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against GHV. Although GHV will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than GHV's independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which GHV does business execute agreements with GHV waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any funds held in the Trust Account for the benefit of the Public Stockholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against GHV's assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the funds held in the Trust Account, GHV's management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third-party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party's engagement would be significantly more beneficial to GHV than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where GHV may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with GHV and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of the Public Shares, if GHV is unable to complete its initial business combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with GHV's initial business combination, GHV will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against GHV within the ten years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by Public Stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors.

The GHV Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to GHV if and to the extent any claims by a vendor (other than GHV's independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to GHV, or a prospective target business with which GHV has entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. GHV has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor's only assets are securities of GHV. GHV has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. Therefore, GHV cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per Public Share. In such event, GHV may not be able to complete the Merger, and

100

you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. None of GHV's officers will indemnify GHV for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

GHV's directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of GHV's Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Stockholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) other than due to the failure to obtain a waiver to seek access to the Trust Account, such lesser amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to fund GHV's working capital requirements, Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay GHV's franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, GHV's independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While GHV currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on GHV's behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to GHV, it is possible that GHV's independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so if, for example the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine a favorable outcome is unlikely. If GHV's independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, GHV files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against GHV that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of GHV's stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by GHV's stockholders in connection with GHV's liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, GHV files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against GHV that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in GHV's bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of GHV's stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by GHV's stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

GHV has no operating or financial history and its results of operations and those of AMPSA may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

GHV is a special purpose acquisition vehicle and GHV has no operating history and no revenues. This proxy statement/prospectus includes unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for AMPSA. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations of AMPSA combines the historical audited results of operations of GHV for the period from June 25, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, with the historical audited results of operations of AMPSA for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of AMPSA combines the historical balance sheets of GHV as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and of AMPSA as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on December 31, 2020.

101

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only, are based on certain assumptions, address a hypothetical situation and reflect limited historical financial data. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination been consummated on the dates indicated above, or the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of AMPSA. Accordingly, AMPSA's business, assets, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition may differ significantly from those indicated by the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this document. For more information, please see the section entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of AMPSA's income or other tax returns could adversely affect AMPSA's financial condition and results of operations.

AMPSA will be subject to income taxes in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and other jurisdictions, and AMPSA's tax liabilities will be subject to the allocation of expenses in differing jurisdictions. AMPSA's future effective tax rates could be subject to volatility or adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

•
  changes in the valuation of AMPSA's deferred tax assets and liabilities;
•
  expected timing and amount of the release of any tax valuation allowances;
•
  tax effects of stock-based compensation;
•
  costs related to intercompany restructurings;
•
  changes in tax laws, regulations or interpretations thereof; or
•
  lower than anticipated future earnings in jurisdictions where AMPSA has lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated future earnings in jurisdictions where AMPSA has higher statutory tax rates.

In addition, AMPSA may be subject to audits of AMPSA's income, sales and other transaction taxes by taxing authorities. Outcomes from these audits could have an adverse effect on AMPSA's financial condition and results of operations.

If the Business Combination's benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of GHV's or AMPSA's securities may decline.

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of GHV's securities prior to the closing of the Merger may decline. The market values of GHV's securities at the time of the Merger may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, or the date on which GHV's stockholders vote on the Merger Proposal.

In addition, following the Merger, fluctuations in the price of AMPSA's securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Immediately prior to the Merger, there has not been a public market for AMPSA's stock and trading in the shares of the GHV Class A Common Stock has not been active. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to AMPSA and the GHV Class A Common Stock in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price of AMPSA that will prevail in the trading market following the Merger. If an active market for AMPSA's securities develops and continues, the trading price of AMPSA's securities following the Merger could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond GHV's control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities and our

102

securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of AMPSA's securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of AMPSA's securities following the Merger may include:

•
  actual or anticipated fluctuations in AMPSA's quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;
•
  changes in the market's expectations about AMPSA's operating results;
•
  the public's reaction to AMPSA's press releases, our other public announcements and AMPSA's filings with the SEC;
•
  speculation in the press or investment community;
•
  success of competitors;
•
  AMPSA's operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;
•
  changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning AMPSA or the market in general;
•
  operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to AMPSA;
•
  AMPSA's ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;
•
  changes in laws and regulations affecting AMPSA's business;
•
  commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving AMPSA;
•
  changes in AMPSA's capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;
•
  the volume of shares of the GHV Class A Common Stock available for public sale;
•
  any major change in AMPSA's board or management;
•
  sales of substantial amounts of GHV Common Stock by GHV's directors, officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur;
•
  the realization of any of the risk factors presented in this proxy statement;
•
  additions or departures of key personnel;
•
  failure to comply with the requirements of NYSE;
•
  failure to comply with SOX or other laws or regulations;
•
  actual, potential or perceived control, accounting or reporting problems;
•
  changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines; and
•
  general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and health epidemics and pandemics (including the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency), acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of AMPSA's securities irrespective of its operating performance. The stock market in general and NYSE have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of AMPSA's securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the

103

stocks of other companies that investors perceive to be similar to AMPSA could depress AMPSA's stock price regardless of its business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of AMPSA's securities also could adversely affect its ability to issue additional securities and its ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert the attention and resources of GHV and AMPSA management, and could also require GHV to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation.

Past performance by The Gores Group, including its management team, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in GHV or AMPSA.

Past performance by The Gores Group and by its management team, including with respect to Gores Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Gores Holdings I"), Gores Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Gores Holdings II"), Gores Holdings III, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Gores Holdings III"), Gores Holdings IV, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Gores Holdings IV"), Gores Metropoulos, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Gores Metropoulos") and Gores Holdings VI, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Gores Holdings VI"), is not a guarantee of success with respect to the Business Combination. You should not rely on the historical record of The Gores Group or its management team's, Gores Holdings I's, Gores Holdings II's, Gores Holdings III's, Gores Holdings IV's, Gores Holdings VI's or Gores Metropoulos' performance as indicative of the future performance of an investment in GHV or AMPSA or the returns GHV or AMPSA will, or is likely to, generate going forward.

GHV's stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against GHV to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to GHV's Public Stockholders upon the redemption of the Public Shares in the event GHV does not complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022 may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder's pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is GHV's intention to redeem the Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following August 10, 2022 in the event GHV does not complete an initial business combination and, therefore, GHV does not intend to comply with the foregoing procedures.

Because GHV will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires GHV to adopt a plan, based on facts known to GHV at such time that will provide for GHV's payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against GHV within the ten years following GHV's dissolution. However, because GHV is a special purpose acquisition company, rather than an operating company, and GHV's operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from GHV's vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. If GHV's plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder's pro rata share of the claim or the

104

amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. GHV cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against GHV. As such, GHV's stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of GHV's stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to the Public Stockholders upon the redemption of the Public Shares in the event GHV does not complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022 is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.

Risks Related to the Redemption

GHV does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for GHV to complete a business combination with which a substantial majority of GHV's stockholders do not agree.

GHV's current certificate of incorporation does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that GHV will not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would result in GHV's failure to have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000 (such that GHV is not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules). In addition, the Business Combination Agreement provides for the Minimum Cash Closing Conditions. As a result, GHV may be able to complete the Merger even though a substantial portion of its Public Stockholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to GHV's Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of Public Shares by GHV or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. GHV will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Merger Proposal or other proposals (as described in this proxy statement) at the Special Meeting.

If you or a "group" of stockholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 20% of the GHV Class A Common Stock issued in the IPO, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 20% of the GHV Class A Common Stock issued in the IPO.

A Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group's shares, in excess of 20% of the shares of GHV Class A Common Stock included in the GHV Units sold in the IPO. In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, GHV will require each Public Stockholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to GHV whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. Such certifications, together with other public information relating to stock ownership available to GHV at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which GHV makes the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem any such excess shares will reduce your influence over GHV's ability to consummate the Merger and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in GHV if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to such excess shares if GHV consummates the Merger. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares aggregating to more than 20% of the shares sold in the IPO

105

and, in order to dispose of such excess shares, would be required to sell your stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. GHV cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following the Merger or that the market price of the GHV Class A Common Stock will exceed the per-share redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders may challenge GHV's determination as to whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

However, GHV's stockholders' ability to vote all of their shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Merger Proposal is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

There is no guarantee that a stockholder's decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

GHV can give no assurance as to the price at which a stockholder may be able to sell its Public Shares in the future following the completion of the Merger or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Merger, may cause an increase in GHV's share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a stockholder of GHV might realize in the future had the stockholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a stockholder does not redeem its shares, the stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the Public Shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A stockholder should consult the stockholder's own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

Stockholders of GHV who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of the GHV Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

Public Stockholders who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must, among other things (i) submit a request in writing and (ii) tender their certificates to GHV's transfer agent or deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically through the DWAC system at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder's broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and GHV's transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is GHV's understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because GHV does not have any control over this process or over the brokers, which it refers to as "DTC," it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, stockholders who wish to redeem their shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Stockholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account less Regulatory Withdrawals and franchise and income taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Merger. Please see the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2021 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders—Redemption Rights" for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

106

If a stockholder fails to receive notice of GHV's offer to redeem the Public Shares in connection with the Merger, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

If, despite GHV's compliance with the proxy rules, a stockholder fails to receive GHV's proxy materials, such stockholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its shares. In addition, the proxy materials that GHV is furnishing to holders of the Public Shares in connection with the Merger describes the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem Public Shares. In the event that a stockholder fails to comply with these procedures, its shares may not be redeemed.

Risks Related to U.S. Tax

There may be tax consequences of the Merger that may adversely affect holders of GHV Common Stock or GHV Warrants.

Although the matter is not free from doubt, the exchange of GHV Common Stock for AMPSA Shares pursuant to the Merger generally is expected to qualify as a tax-free exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes and AMPSA expects to receive the Tax Opinion to that effect. To the extent the Merger does not so qualify, then a GHV stockholder that is a U.S. holder would generally recognize gain, if any, in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the AMPSA Shares (and, if such U.S. holder is also surrendering GHV Warrants, AMPSA Warrants) received over (ii) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such GHV Common Stock (and GHV Warrants, if any). In addition, while not free from doubt, GHV and AMPSA intend to report the exchange of GHV Warrants for AMPSA Warrants as not qualifying as part of a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. If such exchange does not qualify as part of such a reorganization, then a U.S. holder of GHV Warrants could be required to recognize gain in respect of the exchange. See the section titled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."

The IRS may not agree that AMPSA (i) should be treated as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) should not be treated as a "surrogate foreign corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A corporation generally is considered to be a tax resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Accordingly, under the generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, AMPSA, which is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg, would be classified as a non-U.S. corporation (and, therefore, not a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 7874 of the Code provides an exception to this general rule under which a non-U.S. incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If AMPSA were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it could be subject to substantial liability for additional U.S. income taxes, and the gross amount of any dividend payments to its non-U.S. holders could be subject to U.S. withholding tax. In addition, even if AMPSA is not treated as a U.S. corporation, it may be subject to unfavorable treatment as a "surrogate foreign corporation" in the event that ownership attributable to former GHV stockholders exceeds a threshold amount. If it were determined that AMPSA is treated as a surrogate foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, dividends by AMPSA would not qualify for "qualified dividend income" treatment, and U.S. affiliates of AMPSA after the completion of the Merger could be subject to increased taxation under the inversion gain rules and Section 59A of the Code.

Both GHV and AMPSA do not currently expect AMPSA to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise be subject to unfavorable treatment as a surrogate foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, the rules for determining ownership under Section 7874 must be finally determined after completion of the Merger, by which

107

time there could be adverse changes to the relevant facts and circumstances or adverse rule changes. In addition, the rules for determining ownership under Section 7874 are complex and unclear. For additional discussion of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of AMPSA, see the section titled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of AMPSA."

The IRS may take the position that Section 367(a) of the Code requires a U.S. holder to recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the exchange of GHV Common Stock for AMPSA Shares pursuant to the Merger.

Section 367(a) of the Code generally requires a U.S. holder of stock in a U.S. corporation to recognize gain (but not loss) when such stock is exchanged for stock of a non-U.S. corporation in an exchange that would otherwise qualify for nonrecognition treatment, unless certain conditions are met. It is currently expected that these conditions will be met and AMPSA does not expect Section 367(a) to apply with respect to the exchange of GHV Common Stock for AMPSA Shares by any stockholder who is not a "five-percent transferee shareholder" of AMPSA and AMPSA expects to receive the Tax Opinion to that effect. However, U.S. holders are cautioned that the potential application of Section 367(a) of the Code to the Merger is complex and depends on factors that cannot be determined until the closing of the Merger and the interpretation of legal authorities and facts relating to the Business Combination. U.S. holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of Section 367(a) of the Code in their particular situation. For additional discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Merger, see the section titled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."

If AMPSA were a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, U.S. holders of AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants could be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If AMPSA is or becomes a "passive foreign investment company," or a PFIC, within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder holds AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences may apply to such U.S. holder. PFIC status depends on the composition of a company's income and assets and the fair market value of its assets from time to time, as well as on the application of complex statutory and regulatory rules that are subject to potentially varying or changing interpretations. Based on the projected composition of AMPSA's income and assets, including goodwill, AMPSA is not expected to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in 2021 or in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that AMPSA will not be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year.

If AMPSA were treated as a PFIC, a U.S. holder of AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as taxation at the highest marginal ordinary income tax rates on capital gains and on certain actual or deemed distributions, interest charges on certain taxes treated as deferred, and additional reporting requirements. A mark-to-market election may be available to U.S. holders of AMPSA Shares to mitigate some of the adverse tax consequences resulting from PFIC treatment, but U.S. holders will not be able to make similar elections with respect to the AMPSA Warrants. See "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Holders—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules."

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being provided to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination and related transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

Description of the Business Combination

On February 22, 2021, GHV, AMPSA, AGSA and MergeCo entered into the Business Combination Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination provisions and other terms relating to the transactions contemplated thereby.

For more information about the Business Combination, please see the sections entitled "The Business Combination" and "The Business Combination Agreement."

Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

As the first step within the Business Combination, AGSA undertook the Pre-Closing Restructuring which was accounted for as a capital reorganization whereby AGSA effected a series of transactions that resulted in among other things, (a) the AMP Business being wholly owned by AMPSA and (b) any assets and liabilities relating to the business of AGSA (other than the AMP Business) that are held by the AMP Entities being transferred to subsidiaries of AGSA that are not the AMP Entities, and assets and liabilities relating to the AMP Business that are held by subsidiaries of AGSA (other than the AMP Entities) being transferred to the AMP Entities. These transactions are accounted for as a capital reorganization as, prior to the Pre-Closing Restructuring, AMPSA did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 (Business Combination). Under a capital reorganization, the consolidated financial statements of AMPSA reflect the net assets transferred at pre-combination predecessor book values. Following this first step, AMPSA continues to be a wholly owned subsidiary of AGSA.

The capital reorganization will be followed at closing by a Merger whereby MergeCo (a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA) will merge with and into GHV, with GHV being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA. This Merger transaction will be accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 (Share-based Payment). Under this method of accounting, there is no acquisition accounting and no recognition of goodwill, as GHV is not considered a business as defined by IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) given it consists predominantly of cash in the Trust Account. Under this method of accounting, GHV will be treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. In order to reach this conclusion, the following factors were also taken into consideration: (i) the business will comprise the ongoing operations of AMPSA; (ii) senior management will comprise the senior management of AMPSA; and (iii) the pre-Business Combination shareholders of AMPSA will have the largest ownership of AMPSA and the right to appoint the highest number of board members relative to other shareholders.

In accordance with IFRS 2, the difference in the fair value of the consideration, i.e. shares and warrants issued by AMPSA, for the acquisition of GHV over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of GHV will represent a service for listing of AMPSA and be accounted for as a share-based payment expense. The consideration for the acquisition of GHV was determined using the closing prices of GHV's publicly traded GHV Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols "GRSV" and "GRSVW" in addition to the calculated fair value, using a Black Scholes valuation, of Private Placement Warrants, each as of June 17, 2021.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020, gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated as of that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2020. This information should be read in conjunction with the AMP Business's audited combined financial statements and GHV's audited financial statements, (as restated) respectively, and related notes, "AMPSA Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," "GHV's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," "Selected Historical Combined Financial and Other Data of the AMP Business," "Selected Historical Financial Data of GHV," "The Business Combination," and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020 has been prepared using the following:

•
  AMP Business's historical audited combined statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and
•
  GHV's historical audited balance sheet (as restated) as of December 31, 2020, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 has been prepared using the following:

•
  AMP Business's historical audited combined income statement for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and
•
  GHV's historical audited statement of operations (as restated) for the period from June 25, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared, assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

•
  No Redemptions: This presentation provides that no shares of GHV Class A Common Stock are redeemed by the Public Stockholders in connection with the Merger.
•
  Maximum Redemptions: This presentation provides that 52,000,019 shares of GHV Class A Common Stock are redeemed for a per share redemption price of $10.00 and an aggregate redemption payment of $520,020,565. This redemption price assumes $525,020,571 in the GHV Trust Account (as of December 31, 2020), divided by all 52,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, but takes into account GHV's obligation not to redeem shares in an amount that would result in GHV's failure to have net tangible assets exceeding $5,000,000. Because the GHV Sponsor Backstop is a commitment to subscribe for up to 9.5 million AMPSA Shares at a price per share of $10.00, this presentation reflects the possibility that, subject to GHV retaining net tangible assets with a value exceeding $5,000,000, all of the outstanding shares of GHV Class A Common Stock are redeemed.

110

The following table summarizes the pro forma weighted average number of AMPSA Shares outstanding under the two alternatives presented above:

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the AMPSA's actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of AMPSA following the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on information currently available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. The assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used, including in respect of the matters further described in notes 14 and 15, to present the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Actual amounts as of the date of the consummation of the Business Combination might differ from the pro forma amounts presented below in the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of financial position below as of December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of 1) the timing of our investment in working capital which typically peak in the first quarter as a result of the seasonal demand pattern of beverage consumption, which generally peaks during the late spring and summer months and in the period prior to the winter holiday season, and 2) the timing of cash outflows in respect of capital expenditures including in relation to the announced business growth investment program.

GHV Historical Presentation (As Restated)

1)
  The historical financial information of GHV was prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
1a)
  Represents Preferred stock, $0.0001 par value; 1,000,000 shares authorized, none issued or outstanding.
1b)
  Represents GHV Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value; 400,000,000 shares authorized.
1c)
  Represents GHV Class F Common Stock, $0.0001 par value; 40,000,000 shares authorized, 13,125,000 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2020.

  IFRS Conversion and Reclassification Adjustments

2)
  Reflects the reclassification adjustments to align GHV's historical financial statement balances prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP with the presentation of AMP's financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.
3a)
  Reflects the U.S. GAAP to IFRS conversion adjustment related to the reclassification of GHV's historical mezzanine equity (Class A common stock, 52,500,000 shares at December 31, 2020 (at redemption value of $10.00 per share), subject to possible redemption) into borrowings within non-current liabilities.
3b)
  Reflects the U.S. GAAP to IFRS adjustment related to the elimination of GHV's historical derivative liabilities for public and private warrants. The AMPSA Warrants issued in exchange for the GHV Warrants form part of the IFRS 2 expense further described in footnotes 15 and 19 below.

  Transaction Accounting Adjustments (Assuming No Redemption)

4)
  Reflects the proceeds from the Notes Offering net of deferred financing fees. The proceeds of the Euro notes issued thereby have been translated to USD using the December 31, 2020 spot exchange rate of $1.227, used to prepare the combined statement of financial position.

114

5)
  Reflects the execution of the Pre-Closing Restructuring, with AGSA receiving the following consideration: 484,956,250 shares in AMPSA with a value of $4,850 million at a price per share of $10.00, reflected in issued capital at a par value of €0.01 and the remainder in share premium, a cash payment of $2,315 million equivalent and a promissory note issued by AMPSA in the amount of $1,085 million (the "AMPSA Promissory Note"). As part of the transfer, historical related-party debt of $2,690 million with AGSA is settled, of which $2,030 million is reflected as a non-cash capital contribution, reflected in other reserves, and the remaining $660 million to be settled as part of the AMPSA Promissory Note. Following the transfers, the AMPSA Group carries forward the pre-combination predecessor book values of those acquired net assets and the liabilities assumed. The difference between the consideration paid for the acquired net assets and the liabilities assumed as recorded in AMPSA's consolidated financial statements is recognized in other reserves. In addition AGSA has the right to receive, upon the achievement of certain performance measures, the Earnout Shares. See footnote 14 for further details.
6)
  Reflects a reclassification adjustment to align the components of invested capital in the combined financial statements of the AMP business prepared on a carve-out basis from the consolidated financial statements of Ardagh Group S.A. with the presentation of the equity section within AMPSA's consolidated financial statements.
7)
  Represents non-recurring costs incurred in conjunction with the Pre-Closing Restructuring.
8)
  Reflects the release of cash held in the Trust Account that becomes available in connection with the Business Combination and, as a result, is classified as cash and cash equivalents.
9)
  Reflects the issuance of shares in AMPSA in exchange for (i) $525 million of GHV Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption and (ii) an accumulated deficit after the U.S. GAAP to IFRS adjustment referred to in footnote 3b above, of $17 million, in total reflected as an increase within issued capital at the par value of €0.01 and the remainder being an increase in share premium.
10)
  Reflects the cash proceeds from the Subscribers that have committed to participate in the Business Combination by purchasing 60 million of AMPSA Shares in a private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $600 million reflected as an increase within issued capital at the par value of €0.01 per share with the remainder being an increase in share premium.
11)
  Reflects the cash settlement of the AMPSA Promissory Note referred to in footnote 5 above.
12)
  Reflects the incurrence and settlement in cash of non-recurring transaction cost incurred by GHV and Ardagh and not accrued at December 31, 2020 including, but not limited to, advisory fees, legal fees, and registration fees, as those transaction costs need to be refunded to GHV and AGSA upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
13)
  Reflects the cash settlement of GHV's deferred underwriting compensation incurred as part of GHV's initial public offering on August 10, 2020, expected to be paid upon consummation of the Business Combination.
14)
  As described in footnote 5 and as further detailed in "The Business Combination Agreement—Consideration to be Received in the Business Combination" and Section 3.6 of the Business Combination Agreement, Ardagh has a contingent right to receive, as a component of the AGSA Consideration, up to 60.73 million Earnout Shares. The Earnout Shares are issuable by AMPSA to AGSA subject to attainment of certain stock price hurdles over a five-year period from the 180th day following the closing of the Merger. In accordance with IAS 32 (Financial Instruments—Presentation), the arrangement has been assessed to determine whether the Earnout Shares represent a liability or an equity instrument. As the arrangement may result in AMPSA issuing a variable number of shares in the future, albeit capped at a total of 60.73 million shares, the Earnout Shares have, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 32, been recognized as a financial liability measured at fair value in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of financial position. A preliminary valuation assessment was performed for the purpose of determining an estimate of the financial liability using a Monte Carlo simulation using key assumptions for: volatility; risk-free rate; and beginning AMPSA share price. The preliminarily estimated valuation of the liability as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $0.28 billion with the corresponding charge being directly reflected in other reserves. An increase or decrease in volatility of 5% would result in an increase or decrease in the liability of approximately $0.05 billion.
15)
  The Merger is accounted for under IFRS 2. The difference in the estimated fair value of equity instruments, i.e. shares and warrants issued by AMPSA, over the fair value of identifiable net assets of GHV represents a service for listing of the AMPSA Shares and is accounted for as a share based payment expense in accordance with IFRS 2. The cost of the service, which is a non-cash and non-recurring expense, is preliminarily estimated to be $177 million, based on the calculation included in the below table using GHV market prices as of June 17, 2021 for both the Public Warrants to be automatically converted into AMPSA Warrants and GHV Class A Common Stock to be exchanged for AMPSA Shares to be issued by AMPSA. For the Private Placement Warrants to be automatically converted into AMPSA Warrants, a preliminary valuation was performed as of June 17, 2021 for the purpose of determining the associated expense. The valuation applied a Black Scholes model, using key assumptions for volatility, risk-free rate and GHV Class A Common Stock price. Any increase or decrease in volatility of 5% or alternatively any increase or decrease in GHV Class A Common Stock price of 5%, leaving all other assumptions

115

unchanged, would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants of approximately $1 million or $2 million, respectively.

  Reflects the withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account assuming that GHV stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to 52,000,019 shares of GHV Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger. This represents the approximate maximum number of shares that can be redeemed in compliance with GHV's current certificate of incorporation prohibiting GHV from redeeming shares of GHV Class A Common Stock in an amount that would result in GHV's failure to have net tangible assets exceeding $5,000,000. The maximum redemption would result in a reduction of $520 million in cash and cash equivalents and a corresponding reduction in issued capital at the par value per share of €0.01 with the remainder being a reduction in share premium.
17)
  Reflects the cash proceeds from the Sponsor, who has committed in the Sponsor's Subscription Agreement to purchase 9.5 million AMPSA Shares in the Maximum Redemption Scenario, for an aggregate purchase price of $95 million, which is reflected as an increase within issued capital at the par value of €0.01 per share with the remainder being an increase in share premium.
18)
  Reflects that $385 million of the consideration payable to AGSA at the Closing is paid by the issuance to AGSA of additional AMPSA Shares as a result of the Maximum Redemption Scenario. This amount represents the value of the additional 38.5 million of shares in AMPSA that would be issued to AGSA at $10.00 per share in settlement of the promissory note, with a corresponding increase in issued capital at the par value per share of €0.01 and the remainder being an increase in share premium.
19)
  This adjustment reflects the impact of the Maximum Redemption Scenario on the preliminarily estimated IFRS 2 charge described in footnote 15. The adjustment reflects the reduction in the number of shares in AMPSA to be issued in consideration for the net assets of GHV. The adjustment to the GHV net asset value reflects the reduction in the Trust Account. The combined effect is an approximate $22 million reduction to $155 million, in the non-cash and non-recurring preliminarily estimated expense as compared to the No Redemption Scenario, based on the calculation included in the table shown under footnote 15.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA

The following table sets forth:

•
  the historical comparative share information for GHV (as restated) for the year ended December 31, 2020 on a stand-alone basis;
•
  the historical comparative share information of the AMP Business for the year ended December 31, 2020 on a stand-alone basis; and
•
  pro forma combined per share information after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming two redemption scenarios as following:
  (1)
    assuming no GHV stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares of GHV Class A common stock upon the consummation of the Merger; and
  (2)
    assuming that GHV stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to 52,000,019 shares of GHV Class A common stock upon consummation of the Merger, representing the approximate maximum number of shares that can be redeemed in compliance with GHV's current certificate of incorporation prohibiting GHV from redeeming shares of GHV Class A Common Stock in an amount that would result in GHV's failure to have net tangible assets exceeding $5,000,000 and assuming a fair value of $525,020,571 in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2020.

The Combined Financial Statements have been prepared on a carve-out basis from the consolidated financial statements of AGSA in accordance with IFRS and in its presentation currency of United States dollars. The AMP Business did not in the past form a separate legal group and therefore it is not possible to show issued share capital or a full analysis of reserves. The historical financial statements of GHV have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP in its functional and presentation currency of United States dollars.

The information is only a summary and should be read in conjunction with the historical information in the sections entitled "Selected Historical Financial Data of GHV" and "Selected Historical Combined Financial Data of the AMP Business" and the historical financial statements of GHV (as restated) and the AMP Business included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The pro forma combined per share information is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled "The Business Combination—Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

The pro forma combined share information below does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations or the earnings per share would have been had the companies been combined during the periods presented, nor to project AMPSA's results of operations or earnings per share for any future date or period following the Business Combination. The pro forma combined shareholders' equity per share information below does not purport to represent what the value of GHV and AMPSA would have been had the companies been combined during the periods presented.

SPECIAL MEETING IN LIEU OF 2021 ANNUAL MEETING OF GHV STOCKHOLDERS

References in this section to "we", "our", "us", the "Company", or "Gores" generally refer to GHV.

This proxy statement/prospectus is being provided to Company stockholders as part of a solicitation of proxies by the Board for use at the Special Meeting in Lieu of 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on August 3, 2021, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information regarding the Special Meeting, the proposals on which you are being asked to vote and information you may find useful in determining how to vote and voting procedures.

Stockholders of record who owned GHV Common Stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at the Special Meeting. On the record date, there were 65,625,000 shares of GHV Common Stock outstanding.

Voting Power; Record Date

As a stockholder of the Company, you have a right to vote on certain matters affecting the Company. The proposals that will be presented at the Special Meeting and upon which you are being asked to vote are summarized below and fully set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if you owned shares of GHV Common Stock at the close of business on June 29, 2021, which is the record date for the Special Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of GHV Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in "street name" or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were 65,625,000 shares of GHV Common Stock outstanding, of which 52,500,000 are Public Shares and 13,125,000 are GHV Founder Shares held by our Initial Stockholders.

Proposals at the Special Meeting

At the Special Meeting, Company stockholders will vote on the following proposals:

•
  Merger Proposal—To adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Merger (Proposal No. 1);
•
  Governance Proposal—To consider and vote upon a separate proposal with respect to certain provisions in AMPSA's articles of association because (i) the number of authorized shares under the AMPSA articles of association is greater than the number of authorized shares under GHV's

121

current certificate of incorporation and (ii) the AMPSA articles of association include a compulsory share transfer provision, which are being separately presented in accordance with SEC requirements and which will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis (Proposal No. 2); and

•
  Adjournment Proposal—To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus that the Board has determined in good faith is required by applicable law to be disclosed to Company stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Company stockholders prior to the Special Meeting, (B) if, as of the time for which the Special meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of GHV Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Special Meeting or (C) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Merger Proposal. This proposal will only be presented at the Special Meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal (Proposal No. 3).

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THESE PROPOSALS.

Vote of the Company's Sponsor, Directors and Officers

Prior to our IPO, we entered into agreements with our Initial Stockholders, other current directors and officers, pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of GHV Common Stock owned by them in favor of an initial business combination. These agreements apply to our Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor, as it relates to the GHV Founder Shares and the requirement to vote all of the GHV Founder Shares in favor of the Merger Proposal and for all other proposals to be presented to our stockholders at the Special Meeting and described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Our Initial Stockholders, other current directors and officers have waived any redemption rights, including with respect to shares of GHV Class A Common Stock purchased in our IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with the Merger. The GHV Founder Shares held by our Initial Stockholders have no redemption rights upon our liquidation and, unless we amend our current certificate of incorporation and certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company, will be worthless if no initial business combination is effected by us by August 10, 2022. However, our Initial Stockholders are entitled to redemption rights upon our liquidation with respect to any Public Shares they may own.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

A quorum of Company stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the Company's GHV Common Stock outstanding on the record date and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

The approval of the Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Because our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote the shares of GHV Common Stock they own in favor of the Merger Proposal (which amount constitutes approximately 20% of our outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock), approximately 38% of the GHV Class A Common Stock held by the Public Stockholders will need to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal for the Merger Proposal to be approved (assuming all of such stockholders are represented in person via the virtual meeting platform or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting). Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote will have

122

the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Merger Proposal. Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their shares of GHV Common Stock in favor of the Merger Proposal.

The Governance Proposal, which is a non-binding advisory vote, and the Adjournment Proposal require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment proposal.

The Merger is conditioned on the approval of the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting. The Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

It is important for you to note that in the event that the Merger Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, we will not consummate the Merger. Unless we amend our current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of all then outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock) and amend certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company, if we do not consummate the Merger and fail to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to our Public Stockholders.

Recommendation to Company Stockholders

Our Board believes that the Merger Proposal, the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to be presented at the Special Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote "FOR" each of the proposals.

In considering the recommendation of our Board to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal, stockholders should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, our Sponsor and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. Our Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination, and in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Merger Proposal. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Merger Proposal.

These interests include, among other things:

•
  the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the GHV Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the GHV Founder Shares that will be exchanged for AMPSA Shares at the Merger Effective Time, and which AMPSA Shares would, if unrestricted and freely tradable, have a value of approximately $98 million at the Merger Effective Time (based on per share price of $10), but given the restrictions on such AMPSA Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, GHV believes such AMPSA Shares have less value;
•
  the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their GHV Founder Shares if GHV fails to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $12,500,000 for its 6,250,000 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of GHV Class A Common Stock, and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire and become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by August 10, 2022;

123

•
  if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event GHV is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the GHV Sponsor has agreed to indemnify GHV to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which GHV has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to GHV, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;
•
  the continued indemnification of GHV's existing directors and officers and the purchase of a tail policy with respect to GHV's directors' and officers' existing liability insurance;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in GHV and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if GHV does not consummate an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has the right to nominate two independent directors to AMPSA's board of directors as of the Closing;
•
  that, at the closing of the Merger, GHV will enter into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, which provides for registration rights to the holders of AMPSA Shares that are parties thereto and their permitted transferees;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor and members of the GHV Board and management would hold the following number of shares in AMPSA at the Closing:

Name of Person/Entity |  | Number of AMPSA Shares |  | Value of AMPSA Shares(1) |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Merger Proposal but will have no effect on the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

In general, if your shares are held in "street" name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on a timely basis on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee, in its sole discretion, may either leave your shares unvoted or vote your shares on routine matters, but not on any non-routine matters. None of the proposals at the Special Meeting are routine matters. As such, without your voting instructions, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on any proposal to be voted on at the Special Meeting.

Voting Your Shares—Stockholders of Record

If you are a Company stockholder of record, you may vote by mail or you can attend the Special Meeting in person via the virtual meeting platform and vote during the meeting by following the instructions on your proxy card. Each share of GHV Common Stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals for the Special Meeting. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of shares of GHV Common Stock that you own.

Voting by Mail. You can vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. By signing the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the Special Meeting in the manner you indicate. We encourage you to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Special Meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of GHV Common Stock will be voted as recommended by our Board. Our Board recommends voting "FOR" the Merger Proposal, "FOR" the Governance Proposal and "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal. Votes submitted by mail must be received by 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 3, 2021.

Voting via the Virtual Meeting Platform. You can attend the Special Meeting in person via the virtual meeting platform and vote during the meeting by following the instructions on your proxy card. You can access the Special Meeting by visiting the website https://www.cstproxy.com/goresholdingsv/sm2021. You will need your control number for access. If you do not have a control number, please contact the transfer agent. Instructions on how to attend and participate at the Special Meeting are available at https://www.cstproxy.com/goresholdingsv/sm2021. If you hold your shares in "street name," which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of GHV Common Stock.

125

Voting Your Shares—Beneficial Owners

If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and this proxy statement/prospectus is being sent to you by that broker, bank or other nominee. The broker, bank or other nominee holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to vote the shares in your account by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement. As a beneficial owner, if you wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you must get a proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of GHV Common Stock. Please see the section entitled "Attending the Special Meeting" below for more details.

Attending the Special Meeting

Only GHV stockholders on the record date or their legal proxy holders may attend the Special Meeting. Please note that you will only be able to access the Special Meeting by means of remote communication.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, any holders of our Public Shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less Regulatory Withdrawals and franchise and income taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Merger. If demand is properly made and the Merger is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Merger, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the

126

Trust Account which holds the proceeds of our IPO (calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Merger, less Regulatory Withdrawals and franchise and income taxes payable). For illustrative purposes, based on the balance of our Trust Account of $525,033,518 as of March 31, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00.

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

•
  if you hold GHV Units, separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants;
•
  check the box on the enclosed proxy card marked "Stockholder Certification" if you are not acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of GHV Common Stock and
•
  prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 30, 2021 (two business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attention: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

and

•
  deliver your Public Shares either physically or electronically through DTC's DWAC system to our transfer agent at least two business days before the Special Meeting. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, we do not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your Public Shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name" are required to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in these proxy materials, or up to two business days prior to the vote to approve the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using DTC's DWAC system, at such stockholder's option. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the Special Meeting ensures that a redeeming stockholder's election to redeem is irrevocable once the Merger Proposal is approved.

Holders of outstanding GHV Units must separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares.

If you hold GHV Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such GHV Units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such GHV Units into Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the Public Share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the GHV Units.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your GHV Units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your GHV Units. Your nominee must send written instructions

127

by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent. Such written instructions must include the number of GHV Units to be split and the nominee holding such GHV Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC's DWAC system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the GHV Units. While this is typically done electronically on the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your Public Shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

Each redemption of shares of GHV Class A Common Stock by our Public Stockholders will reduce the amount in our Trust Account, which had a balance of $525,033,518 as of March 31, 2021. While the Business Combination Agreement provides for the Minimum Cash Closing Conditions, assuming the consummation of the PIPE (including, if applicable, the GHV Sponsor Backstop), we may be able to complete the Merger even though a substantial portion of our Public Stockholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates. In addition, in no event will we redeem shares of our GHV Class A Common Stock in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets exceeding $5,000,000.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of our GHV Class A Common Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their GHV Class A Common Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of our GHV Class A Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our GHV Class A Common Stock when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your shares of our GHV Class A Common Stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Merger and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of AMPSA, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

Unless we amend our current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of all then outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock) and amend certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company, if the Merger Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination by August 10, 2022, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the Public Stockholders and our warrants will expire worthless.

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of GHV Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

GHV is soliciting proxies on behalf of its Board. This proxy solicitation is being made by mail, but also may be made by telephone or in person. GHV has engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. GHV and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person. GHV will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the

128

proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions.

GHV will bear the entire cost of the proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of the proxy materials. GHV will pay Morrow a fee of $37,500, plus disbursements, reimburse Morrow for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses for their services as our proxy solicitor. We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding the proxy materials to our stockholders. Directors, officers and employees of GHV who solicit proxies will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

129

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

Background of the Business Combination

GHV is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on June 25, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Business Combination was the result of an extensive search for a potential transaction utilizing the global network and investing and operating experience of GHV's management team and the GHV Board. The terms of the Business Combination were the result of extensive negotiations between GHV's management team, the GHV Sponsor and The Gores Group with respect to GHV (under the oversight of GHV's independent directors) and representatives of AGSA and AMPSA, with respect to AMPSA. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations and the Business Combination.

Prior to the consummation of the IPO, neither GHV, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with GHV.

After the consummation of the IPO, GHV commenced an active search for prospective businesses and assets to acquire. Representatives of GHV, the GHV Sponsor and The Gores Group contacted and were contacted by a number of individuals and entities with respect to acquisition opportunities.

In evaluating potential businesses and assets to acquire, GHV, together with the GHV Sponsor and The Gores Group, generally surveys the landscape of potential acquisition opportunities based on its knowledge of, and familiarity, with the M&A marketplace. In general, GHV looks for acquisition targets that are (i) of a size relevant to the public marketplace, which GHV generally views as companies with an enterprise value of at least $1.5 billion, and (ii) positioned, operationally and financially, to be successful as a public company. GHV further looks for those transactions that it believes, if entered into, would be well received by the public markets. In particular, GHV generally seeks to identify companies that (i) have an existing strong management team, (ii) are positioned for growth, and (iii) generate significant cash flow. GHV also seeks to identify companies that it believes would benefit from being a publicly-held entity, particularly with respect to access to capital for both organic growth and for use in acquisitions. GHV generally applies this criteria when evaluating potential targets.

After the consummation of the IPO, GHV's management, the GHV Sponsor and The Gores Group:

•
  considered over 60 potential acquisition targets (other than AMPSA) (the "Other Potential Targets"), entering into non-disclosure agreements with 46 of the Other Potential Targets; and
•
  ultimately engaged in detailed discussions, due diligence and negotiations with ten Other Potential Target businesses or their representatives.

The ten Other Potential Target businesses included a company in the business and consumer services and digital marketplace space ("Company A"), a company in the custom manufacturing and products space ("Company B"), a company in the financial services space ("Company C"), a company in the real estate financial services space ("Company D"), a company in the commercial building materials space ("Company E"), a company in the interior building materials space ("Company F"), a healthcare services technology company ("Company G"), a data services and infrastructure company ("Company H"), a healthcare services company ("Company I") and a engineering and construction company ("Company J").

As part of its regular evaluation of potential acquisition targets, the GHV Board and GHV's management generally discuss, on a monthly basis, the status of GHV's management's discussions with

130

various acquisition targets. These updates generally address the potential targets under consideration and the status of the discussions, if any, with the respective acquisition targets. These updates continued throughout the period of time when GHV was evaluating various acquisition targets.

GHV engaged in discussions with Company A from August 2020 until November 2020, until GHV decided to cease discussions with Company A after further diligence. GHV engaged in discussions with Company B during August 2020 until a natural disaster disrupted Company B's manufacturing capabilities, at which point Company B decided to discontinue discussions. GHV engaged in discussions with Company C during November 2020 until Company C informed GHV that Company C had decided to entertain a transaction with a different strategic special purpose acquisition company. GHV engaged in discussions with Company D from December 2020 through January 2021, at which point GHV ceased discussions in order to focus on the potential Business Combination with AMPSA. GHV engaged in discussions with Company E during October 2020 until Company E informed GHV that Company E had decided to entertain a transaction with a different special purpose acquisition company. GHV engaged in discussions with Company F from August 2020 through October 2020, until GHV ceased discussions following its due diligence evaluation of Company F. GHV engaged in discussions with Company G during October 2020 until GHV decided to cease discussions with Company G following its due diligence evaluation of Company G. GHV engaged in discussions with Company H from October 2020 until November 2020, until GHV decided to cease discussions with Company H following its due diligence evaluation of Company H. GHV engaged in discussions with Company I during October 2020, until GHV decided to cease discussions with Company I following its due diligence evaluation of Company I. GHV engaged in discussions with Company J during October 2020, until GHV decided to cease discussions with Company J following its due diligence evaluation of Company J.

Upon the cessation of conversations with Company D and in compliance with exclusivity agreement with AMPSA, GHV ceased discussions with any further acquisition targets to focus on the possible business combination with AMPSA.

On November 24, 2020, a representative of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citi"), financial advisor to AGSA, contacted Ms. Jennifer Chou, Managing Director and Chief Strategy Officer of The Gores Group, to ask whether GHV would be willing to evaluate a potential business combination related to the AMP Business, which would include carving out the AMP Business from AGSA. Ms. Chou advised the representative of Citi that The Gores Group and GHV would be interested in learning more about the potential business combination opportunity involving the AMP Business. The representative of Citi promptly provided Ms. Chou with a draft non-disclosure agreement.

On November 25, 2020, GHV executed the non-disclosure agreement and began receiving materials regarding AMPSA to further investigate the potential business combination.

On November 30, 2020, Mr. Alec E. Gores, Founder, Chairman of GHV and Chairman and Executive Officer of The Gores Group, Mr. Mark R. Stone, Chief Executive Officer of GHV and Senior Managing Director of The Gores Group, and Ms. Chou conducted an introductory virtual meeting with Mr. Paul Coulson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AGSA. During this virtual meeting Mr. Coulson presented an overview of the AMP Business. Additionally, during this introductory virtual meeting, Mr. Stone reviewed with Mr. Coulson how a potential business combination involving GHV and AMPSA would be structured, including that GHV contemplated raising additional equity capital from private investors in connection with a potential business combination (the "Potential Private Placement"). GHV did not consider financing arrangements other than a private placement of equity securities, as GHV believes that cash generated from additional equity invested at the time of the consummation of a potential business combination is preferable to other financing arrangements, based on the experience of GHV, the GHV Sponsor and The Gores Group in transactions of this nature and such entities' relationships with potential equity investors.

131

Messrs. Gores and Stone further discussed the background of GHV and described how special purpose acquisition companies operated. At the end of this meeting, Messrs. Gores and Stone, together with Mr. Coulson, expressed mutual interest in continuing the discussions with respect to a potential business combination, and collectively agreed that the next step in the process was to arrange a management presentation with respect to the AMP Business.

On December 3, 2020, Mr. Coulson, Mr. Oliver Graham, the Chief Executive Officer of AMPSA, and Mr. David Bourne, the Chief Financial Officer of AMPSA, conducted a virtual management presentation with respect to the AMP Business for Mr. Stone and other representatives of The Gores Group. During this meeting, the representatives of The Gores Group, AGSA and AMPSA discussed various aspects of the AMP Business, the timing of a potential business combination, the history and prior success of special purpose acquisition companies sponsored by affiliates of The Gores Group and the capital needs of AMPSA.

On December 7, 2020, Messrs. Gores and Coulson conducted a one-on-one virtual meeting to explore the core objectives of the potential business combination and how a business combination transaction involving the AMP Business might be structured.

On December 17, 2020, representatives of The Gores Group conducted a virtual meeting with members of AMPSA's management, including Mr. Bourne, to review in detail the financial forecast of the AMP Business.

On December 21, 2020, GHV submitted a preliminary non-binding business combination proposal to AGSA (the "Preliminary Proposal"). The Preliminary Proposal contemplated a separation of the AMP Business from AGSA into a newly formed entity. Additionally, the Preliminary Proposal contemplated a maximum total consideration payable to AGSA in the proposed business combination of approximately $10.8 billion, consisting of (i) $3 billion of cash proceeds at closing, which would be financed with (a) $525 million of cash in GHV's trust account (assuming no stockholder redemptions), (b) $750 million from a Potential Private Placement, and (c) $1.765 billion of new debt raised by the new company that would hold the AMP Business, (ii) rollover shares in the new company holding the AMP Business with a value of $7.1 billion (based on a 16.0 times multiple of estimated 2021 EBITDA) and (iii) earnout shares valued at $761 million and issuable in four installments contingent on the shares of AMPSA following the potential business combination achieving a public trading price in excess of various per share thresholds. Additionally, the Preliminary Proposal contemplated a post-Business Combination enterprise value of AMPSA of approximately $10.468 billion, which was determined by GHV based on an analysis of the value of comparable companies in similar industries to the AMP Business.

On December 22, 2020, Mr. Stone and other representatives of The Gores Group conducted a virtual meeting with representatives of Citi to review the Preliminary Proposal.

On December 29, 2020, Messrs. Stone and other representatives of The Gores Group conducted a virtual meeting with representatives of AGSA, Citi and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. ("Deutsche Bank"). Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC ("Morgan Stanley") acted as underwriters to GHV in its IPO and will collectively forfeit $18,375,000 in deferred commissions in the event a business combination is not completed by August 10, 2022. Additionally, Deutsche Bank was consulted from time to time by GHV regarding its views with respect to the potential business combination involving the AMP Business and acted as an intermediary in several discussions between GHV and AGSA. During the virtual meeting, Messrs. Stone and other representatives of The Gores Group highlighted GHV's proposed investment highlights and how GHV would approach future investor presentations and marketing materials if it were to pursue a business combination transaction involving the AMP Business.

132

On December 30, 2020, GHV submitted a revised non-binding proposal to AGSA (the "Revised Proposal"). The Revised Proposal contemplated a maximum total consideration payable to AGSA in the proposed business combination of approximately $10.8 billion, consisting of (i) $3.4 billion of cash proceeds at closing, which would be financed with (a) $525 million of cash in GHV's trust account (assuming no stockholder redemptions), (b) $750 million from a Potential Private Placement and (c) $2.165 billion of new debt raised by the new company that would hold the AMP Business (reflecting an increase from the $1.765 billion contemplated by the Preliminary Proposal), (ii) rollover shares in the new company that would hold the AMP Business with a value of $6.6 billion (based on a 16 times multiple of estimated 2021 EBITDA) and (iii) earnout shares valued at $829 million and issuable in four installments contingent on the shares of AMPSA following the potential business combination achieving a public trading price in excess of various per share thresholds. Additionally, the Revised Proposal provided that in order to facilitate the Potential Private Placement, the GHV Sponsor and one or more of its related investors would commit $150 million to the PIPE (which represented 20% of the total PIPE amount). Consistent with the Preliminary Proposal, the Revised Proposal contemplated a post-Business Combination enterprise value of approximately $10.468 billion.

On January 1, 2021, GHV retained Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP ("Weil"), GHV's M&A counsel, to advise it in connection with a potential business combination transaction involving the AMP Business.

From December 29, 2020 through January 5, 2021, Messrs. Stone, Coulson and representatives of Citi, Shearman & Sterling LLP ("Shearman"), legal counsel to AGSA, and beginning January 1, 2021, Weil negotiated the key terms with respect to the business combination proposal and a definitive term sheet (the "Term Sheet"). The Term Sheet contemplated a post-Business Combination enterprise value of AMPSA of approximately $10.468 billion, which was consistent with the enterprise value reflected in the Preliminary Proposal and the Revised Proposal, and an equity value of $8.144 billion. Additionally, and consistent with the Revised Proposal, the Term Sheet contemplated that the potential business combination would be fully funded by the equity capital in GHV's trust account, fully committed funds from a Potential Private Placement of $750 million, and newly raised net debt financing by AMPSA in the amount of $2.165 billion. In addition, the Term Sheet provided that in order to facilitate the PIPE Investment, the GHV Sponsor and one or more of its related investors would commit $150 million to the PIPE (which represented 20% of the total PIPE amount); provided, that if the PIPE was oversubscribed or if elected by AGSA, the GHV Sponsor and one or more of its related investors would instead provide a backstop of up to $150 million to acquire newly issued shares of GHV Class A Common Stock (at $10.00 per share) to offset a commensurate number of redeemed shares of GHV Class A Common Stock. The Term Sheet also required GHV, AGSA and AMPSA to refrain from negotiating alternative transactions with parties other than one another for a period of 30 days, subject to a 15-day extension if the parties were continuing to engage in good faith discussions regarding the proposed transactions.

On January 2, 2021, GHV contacted KPMG, GHV's independent registered public accounting firm to retain it in connection with the potential business combination, including to conduct accounting and tax due diligence of the AMP Business and provide tax structuring advice.

On January 5, 2021, the GHV Board held a meeting telephonically in which Mr. Stone and Mr. Andrew McBride, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of GHV and representatives of Weil were in attendance. During this meeting, Mr. Stone provided the Board with an update on the status of the discussions with Company D and AMPSA. Additionally, Mr. Stone provided an update on GHV's diligence to date and the then-current contemplated transaction structure and terms for each of the two potential business combinations. Following this discussion, the GHV Board directed management to cease discussions with Company D and to continue to explore the potential business combination with AMPSA and to update the GHV Board as the discussions progressed. The GHV Board also discussed its desire to engage a financial advisor to provide a fairness opinion in connection with the potential

133

business combination and suggested Duff & Phelps as a possibility, but wished first to conduct additional diligence on the AMP Business.

Also, on January 5, 2021, GHV and AGSA executed the Term Sheet and ceased discussions with Company D. In connection with the execution of the Term Sheet, representatives of GHV, Deutsche Bank, and Citi began undertaking additional diligence of the AMP Business and began the preparation of the investor presentation with respect to the Potential Private Placement.

From January 5, 2021 until February 22, 2021, Mr. Stone and other representatives of The Gores Group held regular discussions with various members of the GHV Board with respect to various aspects of the potential business combination, the timing and status of the potential business combination, the status of due diligence and the progress of the Potential Private Placement.

Between January 5, 2021 and the execution of the Business Combination Agreement on February 22, 2021, representatives of GHV, AGSA and AMPSA and their financial, accounting and legal advisors had multiple conversations with each other on a broad list of topics related to the potential business combination and related diligence matters.

From January 18, 2021 through February 17, 2021, Messrs. Stone, Coulson, Graham and Bourne held virtual meetings with the Potential Private Placement investors to discuss the terms of the potential business combination and details surrounding the Potential Private Placement. Each potential investor was informed in advance that the information that would be shared may constitute material non-public information of GHV and AGSA, and each potential investor agreed to be bound by certain confidentiality obligations as well as a prohibition on trading the securities of GHV or AGSA or using the information for purposes other than such potential investor's investment in connection with the potential business combination. During the meetings, Messrs. Stone, Coulson, Graham and Bourne reviewed with potential investors certain information regarding the AMP Business and AMPSA, including certain financial projections regarding the AMP Business. The feedback and responses received from potential investors regarding a potential business combination between GHV and AMPSA were generally positive.

On January 21, 2021, Shearman provided an initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement to Weil. The initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement contemplated, among other things, (i) that AMPSA, a Luxembourg company newly formed by AGSA, would be the new holding company of the AMP Business, (ii) the merger of MergeCo, a newly incorporated Delaware corporation wholly owned by AMPSA, with and into GHV with GHV continuing as the Surviving Corporation and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA, (iii) no survival of representations, warranties and covenants, and, relatedly, no post-business combination stockholder indemnity, (iv) an earnout payable pursuant to certain previously agreed upon milestones related to the public trading price of shares of AMPSA, (v) a debt financing related to AMPSA and the Transactions, (vi) that GHV's transaction expenses could not exceed $50,000,000, (vii) covenants regarding the waiver of claims against the Company's trust account and (viii) a Potential Private Placement of $750,000,000. Additionally, in order to effectuate the separation of the AMP Business from AGSA, the initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement contemplated entering into the Transfer Agreement, the Services Agreement and the other Related Agreements.

From January 21, 2021 through February 22, 2021, Weil and Shearman negotiated the terms of, and exchanged several drafts of, the definitive agreements for the potential business combination, including the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, during this same period, representatives of GHV, representatives of AGSA and AMPSA, representatives of The Gores Group, Weil and Shearman conducted various virtual and telephonic conferences to discuss and resolve the open issues related to the potential business combination, including outstanding issues with respect to the Business Combination Agreement and the Related Agreements.

134

On January 22, 2021, Weil delivered an initial draft of the Subscription Agreement to Shearman, which contemplated, among other things, subject to the closing of the potential business combination, that: (i) the Potential Private Placement investors would purchase AMPSA Shares at a price of $10.00 per share; (ii) AMPSA would, within 30 days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the AMPSA Shares and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the statement declared effective; and (iii) the Subscription Agreement would terminate: (a) at such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement was terminated; (b) upon the mutual written agreement of the parties to the Subscription Agreement; or (c) automatically upon a certain date if the Closing had not been consummated on or before such date.

On January 23, 2021, after continued diligence of the AMP Business, Mr. Stone informed Mr. Randall Bort, an independent GHV Board member, that the potential business combination had progressed to the point of engaging a financial advisor to provide a fairness opinion.

On January 24, 2021, after consulting with the other independent directors of the GHV Board with respect to engaging a financial advisor to provide a fairness opinion, Mr. Bort contacted representatives of Duff & Phelps to discuss engaging Duff & Phelps to provide a fairness opinion to the GHV Board in connection with the potential business combination.

On January 26, 2021, the GHV Board held a meeting telephonically in which representatives of The Gores Group and Duff & Phelps were also in attendance by invitation of the GHV Board. Representatives of Duff & Phelps reviewed with the GHV Board a potential engagement with respect to providing a fairness opinion with respect to the potential business combination.

On January 27, 2021, Weil provided a revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement to Shearman. The revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement was generally consistent with the draft provided by Shearman to Weil on January 21, 2021, except that the revised draft (i) proposed that AGSA would indemnify AMPSA with respect to pre-closing taxes of the AMP Business and any transfer taxes that may be incurred in connection with the proposed transactions, (ii) included a new closing deliverable providing for the receipt by GHV of a tax opinion related to the Pre-Closing Restructuring, (iii) proposed revisions to the representations and warranties of AGSA to provide additional coverage to GHV with respect to certain matters, and (iv) provided that all the Earnout Shares would not be accelerated in the event of a future change of control transaction.

From January 27, 2021 to February 19, 2021, Weil and Shearman exchanged several drafts of the Business Combination Agreement, and they, AGSA and GHV continued to discuss the principal open issues in the revised drafts, including the items described in the preceding paragraph.

On January 28, 2021, Duff & Phelps provided a draft engagement letter for review by the GHV Board to Weil. The draft engagement letter advised GHV that Duff & Phelps had undertaken a review of its records to determine Duff & Phelps' professional relationship with GHV, and other parties of interest in the potential business combination, and had identified no current relationships that would preclude it from accepting the engagement to deliver a fairness opinion. Thereafter, Weil and Duff & Phelps discussed whether Duff & Phelps had any relationships with AGSA that would preclude it from accepting the engagement. Duff & Phelps informed Weil that during the previous two years, certain other groups within Duff & Phelps had provided tax and valuation services to other divisions of AGSA unrelated to AMPSA or the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement for which Duff & Phelps received an immaterial amount of fees. Such relationships and the fees received by Duff & Phelps are described in the section entitled "Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor" in this proxy statement/prospectus. The GHV Board determined, in its business judgment, that none of these matters would impact Duff & Phelps' independence with respect to the potential business combination. Accordingly, the GHV Board unanimously approved the engagement of Duff & Phelps. GHV executed the Duff & Phelps engagement letter on February 2, 2021.

135

From January 26, 2021 through February 19, 2021, Messrs. Stone, Coulson, and representatives of Citi, Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley held frequent telephonic conferences and virtual meetings to discuss the status and progress of the Potential Private Placement.

On February 1, 2021, Shearman sent Weil an initial draft of the Shareholders Agreement, which reflected, among other things: (i) the proposed board composition of AMPSA; (ii) certain approvals and other information rights in favor of AGSA; and (iii) certain covenants of AMPSA regarding the provision to the Ardagh Group of financial statements and access to information.

On February 6, 2021, Shearman sent Weil an initial draft of the Transfer Agreement and the Services Agreement, which, among other things, provided: (i) any assets and liabilities relating to the business of AGSA (other than the AMP Business) that are held by the AMP Entities would be transferred to subsidiaries of AGSA that are not the AMP Entities, and assets and liabilities relating to the AMP Business held by subsidiaries of AGSA (other than the AMP Entities) would be transferred to the AMP Entities; (ii) AGSA, either directly or indirectly through its affiliates, would provide certain corporate and business-unit services to AMPSA, and AMPSA, either directly or indirectly through its affiliates, would provide certain corporate and business-unit services to AGSA; and (iii) the initial term of the Services Agreement would end on December 31, 2024. Thereafter, Shearman and Weil exchanged several drafts of the Transfer Agreement and Services Agreement through February 20, 2021, with the final drafts of the forms of these agreements reflecting the parties' agreements on, among other things (i) the list of entities, assets and liabilities of the AMP Business that would be transferred to the AMP Entities pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, and (ii) the necessary scope of, and certain provisions related to, the corporate and business-unit services to be provided under the Services Agreement.

From February 6, 2021 through February 10, 2021, Messrs. Stone and Coulson and representatives of Citi held frequent telephonic conferences and virtual meetings to continue negotiations with respect to the material terms of the potential business combination, which included reducing the implied equity value and enterprise value of AMPSA at the closing of the proposed business combination transaction from $7.404 billion to $6.073 billion and from $9.728 billion to $8.522 billion, respectively, reducing the size of the Potential Private Placement from $750 million to $600 million, increasing the amount of the new net debt that AMPSA would incur as part of the potential business combination from $2.165 billion to $2.315 billion, and increasing the number of earnout shares issuable to AGSA and modifying the terms on which they would be issued. From February 12, 2021 to February 20, 2021, Weil received comments to the Subscription Agreement from investors related to the closing conditions, representations and warranties and registration rights therein. Weil and Shearman finalized the Subscription Agreement on February 20, 2021.

From February 9, 2021 through February 11, 2021, Messrs. Gores, Stone and Coulson met in person on multiple occasions to discuss the overall status of the potential business combination and to discuss post announcement strategy and messaging with respect to the potential business combination.

From February 15, 2021 through February 22, 2021, Messrs. Stone and Coulson conducted numerous meetings to finalize the remaining open business issues in the definitive documentation. This included items such as responsibility for pre-closing taxes and any transfer taxes incurred in connection with the proposed transactions, the delivery of a tax opinion as a condition to GHV's obligation to close the proposed business combination transaction, the GHV minimum cash amount condition, and the treatment of the Earnout Shares upon a future change of control transaction.

On February 17, 2021, Shearman sent Weil a substantially final version of the Shareholders Agreement containing minimal revisions to the initial draft.

On February 19, 2021, Shearman sent Weil a substantially final version of the Business Combination Agreement, which reflected, among other things, the agreed upon provisions regarding

136

(i) the responsibility for pre-closing taxes and any transfer taxes that may be incurred in connection with the proposed business combination, (ii) the delivery of a tax opinion to AGSA, which could be relied on by GHV as if addressed thereto, as a condition to GHV's obligation to close the Merger, (iii) the GHV Minimum Cash Amount of $685 million, and (iv) the treatment of the Earnout Shares in the event of a future change of control transaction.

On February 22, 2021, the GHV Board held a meeting telephonically in which Mr. Stone, Mr. McBride and representatives of The Gores Group, representatives of Weil and representatives of Duff & Phelps were also in attendance. Representatives of Duff & Phelps provided a presentation to the GHV Board, a copy of which was provided to the GHV Board in advance of the meeting, regarding Duff & Phelps' financial analysis as to the fairness from a financial point of view to GHV, as of the date of such opinion, of the consideration in the potential business combination and delivered to the GHV Board an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated February 22, 2021, and attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus, addressed to the GHV Board to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based upon and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the opinion, the consideration in the Business Combination is fair, from a financial point of view to GHV. Thereafter, representatives of Weil reviewed with the GHV Board the terms of the Business Combination, including the Business Combination Agreement and other definitive agreements, copies of which were provided to the GHV Board in advance of the meeting. The GHV Board concluded, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to GHV, that the potential Business Combination was the best potential business combination for GHV based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets, and the GHV Board's and GHV management's belief that such processes had not presented a better alternative. In reaching this conclusion, the GHV Board took into account the criteria utilized by GHV to evaluate acquisition opportunities, and determined that the potential business combination met such criteria, was the most actionable and capable of being completed in a timely manner, and was being accomplished under terms attractive to GHV and its stockholders. After discussion and upon a motion duly made and seconded, the GHV Board unanimously resolved that the Business Combination Agreement, including the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, each of the Related Agreements and the Business Combination be approved. Later that day, GHV, AGSA, AMPSA and MergeCo executed the Business Combination Agreement.

On February 23, 2021, before the stock market opened, GHV and AGSA issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Business Combination Agreement.

GHV's Board of Directors' Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

The GHV Board, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted GHV's management and its legal counsel, financial advisors and other advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of GHV and its stockholders and (ii) to recommend that the stockholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Merger, the GHV Board considered and evaluated a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the GHV Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The GHV Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of the GHV Board's reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" beginning on page 63 of this document.

137

The GHV Board considered a number of factors as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, including but not limited to, the following material factors:

•
  Pre-eminent Pure Play Beverage Can Company. The GHV Board noted that the AMP Business is a pure play leader in the beverage can industry with its focus on sustainability, innovation and infinitely recyclable products. The GHV Board believes that this strong market position and customer and product mix positions the AMP Business as a leader in the industry and that it will continue to expand its sold volume and increase market share.
•
  Long-Term Industry Megatrends and Environmentally-Conscious End Consumers Driving Inflection Point in Beverage Can Demand. The GHV Board noted the convergence of multiple factors, including growth with emerging categories such as health and wellness, hard seltzers, sparkling waters and coffee and tea, the advantages of aluminum can packaging, as well as the importance of sustainability and regulatory changes, which should lead to additional growth opportunities across geographies. Additionally, due to the fast growing demand and current supply shortage in the beverage can industry, the structural shift from plastic and glass to beverage cans and the increased use of recyclable packaging as a key focus for large consumer products, the GHV Board believes that AMPSA has significant growth potential.
•
  Leader in Sustainability. The GHV Board noted that a core tenet of AGSA's corporate philosophy for a number of years has been a focus on being a leader environmentally, ecologically and socially. AGSA began issuing sustainability reports in 2013 and has a Chief Sustainability Officer who is driving AGSA and AMPSA towards an ambitious set of sustainability targets. The GHV Board also noted that aluminum cans have the ability to achieve 100% recyclability, whereas substitute products such as glass and plastic achieve lower rates. The GHV Board believes that AMPSA's strong corporate focus on sustainability coupled with environmentally conscious customers and end consumers positions AMPSA to deliver continued growth in an environmentally friendly manner.
•
  Multifaceted Growth Opportunity Backed by Long-Term Customer Contracts. The GHV Board was aware that the AMP Business has long term relationships with key customers that span decades.
•
  Compelling Financial Profile. The GHV Board noted that AMPSA's financial profile is positioned for sustainable expansion with current and new customers and in new and emerging product categories. Additionally, the GHV Board believes AMPSA is positioned for significant margin expansion resulting from longer contracts, favorable customer and product mix trends, higher growth in specialty cans and continued network efficiency improvements and operating leverage from expanding capacity in existing facilities.
•
  Entrepreneurial Owner Manager Culture. The GHV Board considered that AMPSA is managed by a team with extensive experience in the industry that has a sustained track record of delivering shareholder value, and that this team will be in place upon the closing of the Merger. Additionally, the GHV Board believes that AMPSA's proven management team and strategy will help enable AMPSA to deliver continued industry-leading growth.
•
  Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor. The GHV Board took into account the opinion of Duff & Phelps, dated February 22, 2021, addressed to the GHV Board as to the fairness from a financial point of view to GHV, as of the date of such opinion, of the consideration in the Business Combination, which opinion was based on and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications set forth in such opinion as more fully described above under the caption "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor."

138

•
  Other Alternatives. The GHV Board believed, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to GHV, that the proposed Merger represents the best potential business combination for GHV based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets. The GHV Board and GHV management also believed that such processes had not presented a better alternative.
•
  Due Diligence. The results of GHV's due diligence investigation of AMPSA conducted by GHV's management team and its financial and legal advisors.
•
  Stockholder Approval. The GHV Board considered the fact that, in connection with the Merger, GHV stockholders have the option to (i) become and remain stockholders of AMPSA, (ii) sell their shares of GHV Class A Common Stock or, following the closing of the Merger, their AMPSA Shares, on the open market or (iii) redeem their GHV Class A Common Stock for the per share amount held in the Trust Account pursuant to the terms of GHV's existing certificate of incorporation.
•
  Negotiated Terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The GHV Board considered the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.
•
  Independent Director Role. The GHV Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with the GHV Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group. In connection with the Business Combination, GHV's independent directors, Messrs. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea, took an active role in evaluating the proposed terms of the Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement and the Related Agreements. GHV's independent directors evaluated and unanimously approved, as members of the GHV Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

The GHV Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

•
  Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved, or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.
•
  Liquidation of GHV. The risks and costs to GHV if the Merger is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other initial business combination opportunities, which, if the Merger is not consummated, could result in GHV being unable to effect an initial business combination by August 10, 2022 and force GHV to liquidate and the Public Warrants to expire worthless.
•
  Stockholder Vote. The risk that GHV's stockholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to effect the Merger.
•
  Closing Conditions. The fact that completion of the Merger is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within GHV's control.
•
  Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Merger or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.
•
  Fees and Expenses. The fact that the fees and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be borne by GHV if the Merger is not consummated.
•
  Other Risks. Various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of GHV, the business of AMPSA and ownership of AMPSA's shares following the Merger described under the section entitled "Risk Factors."

139

In addition to considering the factors described above, the GHV Board also considered that:

•
  Interests of Certain Persons. Some of the GHV officers and directors may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of GHV stockholders (see "The Business Combination—Interests of GHV Initial Stockholders and GHV's Other Current Officers and Directors"). GHV's independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the GHV Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The GHV Board concluded that the potential benefits it expected GHV and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the GHV Board unanimously determined that the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of GHV and its stockholders.

Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor

At the meeting of the GHV Board on February 22, 2021 to evaluate and approve the Business Combination, Duff & Phelps delivered an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated February 22, 2021, addressed to the GHV Board to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions, conditions and limitations set forth in the opinion, the consideration in the Business Combination was fair, from a financial point of view, to GHV.

The full text of Duff & Phelps' written opinion dated February 22, 2021, is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus and describes the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by Duff & Phelps. The summary of Duff & Phelps' opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. The opinion was furnished for the benefit of the GHV Board of Directors (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the Business Combination, and is not intended to, and does not, confer any rights or remedies upon any other person, and is not intended to be used, and may not be used, by any other person or for any other purpose, without Duff & Phelps' express consent. Neither Duff & Phelps' opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus is intended to be or constitutes a recommendation to any stockholder of GHV as to how such holder should act with respect to the Merger Proposal.

In connection with its opinion, Duff & Phelps made such reviews, analyses and inquiries as it deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. Duff & Phelps also took into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions, as well as its experience in securities and business valuation, in general, and with respect to similar transactions, in particular. Duff & Phelps' procedures, investigations, and financial analysis with respect to the preparation of its opinion included, but were not limited to, the items summarized below:

In performing its analyses and rendering its opinion with respect to the Business Combination, Duff & Phelps, with GHV's consent:

•

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which Duff & Phelps' opinion is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, the opinion cannot and should not be relied upon. Furthermore, in Duff & Phelps' analysis and in connection with the preparation of its opinion, Duff & Phelps has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Business Combination.

Duff & Phelps has prepared its opinion effective as of the date of such opinion. Duff & Phelps' opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated as of the date of the opinion, and Duff & Phelps disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting its opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of Duff & Phelps after the date hereof. The credit, financial and stock markets have experienced unusual volatility and Duff & Phelps expresses no opinion or view as to any potential effects of such volatility on GHV, AMPSA, or the Business Combination.

Duff & Phelps did not evaluate GHV's or AMPSA's solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise). Duff & Phelps has not been requested to, and did not, (i) initiate any discussions with, or solicit any indications of interest from, third parties with respect to the Business Combination, or any alternatives to the Business Combination, (ii) negotiate the terms of the Business Combination, and therefore, Duff & Phelps has assumed that such terms are the most beneficial terms, from GHV's perspective, that could, under the circumstances, be negotiated among the parties to the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE Agreement, or (iii) advise the GHV Board of Directors or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Business Combination.

Duff & Phelps did not express any opinion as to the market price or value of the GHV Class A Common Stock (or anything else) after the announcement of the Business Combination. Duff & Phelps' opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of GHV's AMPSA's, or any other party's credit worthiness, as tax advice, or as accounting advice. Duff & Phelps did not make, and assumed no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter.

In rendering its opinion, Duff & Phelps did not express any opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any of GHV's or AMPSA's officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration in the Business Combination, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation.

Summary of Material Financial Analyses by Duff & Phelps

Set forth below is a summary of the material financial analyses performed by Duff & Phelps in connection with providing its opinion to the GHV Board of Directors. While this summary describes the analyses and factors that Duff & Phelps deemed material in its presentation to the GHV Board, it is not a comprehensive description of all analyses and factors considered by Duff & Phelps. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process that involves various determinations as to appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, neither its opinion nor Duff & Phelps' underlying analysis is susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Duff & Phelps did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, Duff & Phelps' analyses must be considered as a whole and selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it in rendering its opinion, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. The conclusion reached by Duff & Phelps was based on all analyses and factors taken as a whole, and also on the application of Duff & Phelps' own experience and judgment.

Certain of the financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order for Duff & Phelps' financial analyses to be fully understood, where applicable, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses undertaken by Duff & Phelps. Considering the data below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Duff & Phelps' financial analyses.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.

Duff & Phelps performed a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis of AMPSA using the financial forecast and other information and data provided by GHV's management and summarized in the section entitled "Certain GHV Projected Financial Information" to calculate the estimated present value of the future free cash flows projected to be generated by AMPSA from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2024.

In performing the DCF analysis of AMPSA, Duff and Phelps utilized a pro forma tax rate of 25.0% during the projection period. Additionally, in performing the DCF analysis of AMPSA, Duff & Phelps utilized a range of discount rates of 9.0% to 10.0% based on an estimate of AMPSA's weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"). Duff & Phelps derived a terminal value using a perpetuity formula assuming a 3.25% terminal growth rate. Based on the information provided by AMPSA's management to GHV, with the consent of GHV's Board of Directors, Duff & Phelps assumed that (i) the total revenue increases at a compound annual growth rate of 12.5% from 2020 through 2024; (ii) capital expenditures, including business growth investment, will average 12.7% of total revenue over the projection period; and (iii) that Adjusted EBITDA increases at a compound annual growth rate of 19.7% for the period from December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2024, with an average Adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.6% for the projection period. The DCF analysis indicated an implied enterprise value reference range for AMPSA of approximately $8.1 billion to $9.7 billion.

Selected Companies Analysis.

Duff & Phelps reviewed certain financial information for selected public companies that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant. The selected public companies were selected because they were deemed to be similar to AMPSA in one or more respects. In determining its reference range for its selected publicly traded companies analysis, Duff & Phelps focused on (i) two beverage can companies which directly

143

compete with AMPSA: Ball Corporation and Crown Holdings, Inc., (ii) seven general food and beverage and consumer packaging companies: Silgan Holdings, Inc., Winpak LTD., Berry Global Group, Inc., Amcor plc, AptarGroup, Inc., Huhtamäki Oyj, and Sealed Air Corporation.

Enterprise value means the value as of a specified date of the relevant company's outstanding equity securities (taking into account outstanding options and other securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into or for equity securities of GHV), plus the amount of debt outstanding, capitalized leases, pension liabilities and preferred stock and non-controlling interests, and less the amount of cash and cash equivalents and net non-operating assets on its balance sheet. Enterprise values used in the selected companies analysis were calculated using the closing price of the common stock of the selected companies as of February 19, 2021. Historical and projected financial performance data for the selected companies was based on publicly available consensus research analysts' estimates and public filings and other publicly available information, all as of February 19, 2021.

Duff & Phelps analyzed the historical and projected financial performance of each of the selected public companies, including revenue growth, EBITDA growth and EBITDA margin for each of the selected public companies, as shown below:

COMPANY INFORMATION |  | REVENUE GROWTH |  | EBITDA GROWTH |  | EBITDA MARGIN |

Duff & Phelps selected a range of multiples for AMPSA, taking into account its size, growth outlook, profit margins and other characteristics relative to the selected public companies, specifically Ball Corporation and Crown Holdings, Inc. Based on the foregoing and using its professional judgment, the selected companies analysis indicated an implied enterprise value reference range for AMPSA of approximately $8.1 billion to $9.6 billion.

Selected Transactions Analysis.

Duff & Phelps reviewed, but did not utilize for purposes of its analysis or opinion, financial information for certain selected transactions involving target companies with businesses that were deemed relevant to its analysis. Duff & Phelps did not rely on its review of certain selected transactions due to the lack of transactions involving pure play beverage can target companies. Duff & Phelps included the values of such transactions for informational purposes only.

Earnout Valuation

Duff & Phelps also performed a valuation of the contingent consideration issuable by AMPSA to AGSA subject to attainment of certain stock price hurdles over a five year period from the 180th day following the closing of the Merger. The valuation was based on volatility scenarios of 20%, 25% and 30% as implied by the comparable companies. Based on such analysis, the total potential value of the earnout under the assumed scenarios ranged from approximately $233 million to $355 million.

Other Matters

Duff & Phelps was retained by GHV to provide an opinion to GHV Board of Directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to GHV of the consideration in the Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of its engagement, Duff & Phelps became entitled to a fee of $500,000 for its services, $250,000 of which was paid upon Duff & Phelps' delivery of the opinion to GHV's Board of Directors and the remainder of which will become payable upon closing of the Merger. No portion of Duff & Phelps' fee is contingent upon the conclusion expressed in its opinion. Furthermore, Duff & Phelps is entitled to be paid additional fees at Duff & Phelps' standard hourly rates for any time incurred should Duff & Phelps be called upon to support its findings subsequent to the delivery of its opinion. GHV has also agreed to reimburse Duff & Phelps for its out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, consultants and advisors retained by Duff & Phelps in connection with the engagement. GHV has also agreed to indemnify Duff & Phelps for certain liabilities arising out of its engagement.

Other than this engagement, during the two years preceding the date its opinion was delivered, Duff & Phelps provided tax advisory services to certain subsidiaries of AMPSA for which it has received aggregate fees of approximately $20,000 and customary expense reimbursement and indemnification.

Certain Financial Projections Provided to GHV's Board

In December 2020, AMPSA provided GHV with its internally prepared projections for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2024. The prospective financial information was not prepared with a view towards compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. These projections were prepared solely for internal use for capital budgeting and other management purposes, on a reasonable basis, using the best currently available estimates and judgements to management's knowledge and belief at the time. These projections are subjective in many respects and therefore susceptible to varying interpretations and the need for periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments. These projections were not intended for third-party use, including by investors or holders. You are cautioned that the projections may be materially different than actual results.

While presented in this proxy statement/prospectus with numeric specificity, the projections reflect numerous assumptions, including assumptions with respect to general business, economic, market (including expected demand and supply expectations), regulatory and financial conditions and various other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond AMPSA's control, such as the risks and uncertainties contained in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" located elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The material assumptions underlying the projections included certain assumptions with respect to weighted average cost of capital, carry-forward net operating losses and terminal revenue multiples as well as certain revenue projections summarized in the first chart below that were provided by AMPSA. The projections reflect the consistent application of the accounting policies of AMPSA and should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies included in Note 2 of the Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The financial projections, including total revenue, adjusted EBITDA, capital expenditures/Business Growth Investment and net working capital are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond AMPSA's control. Since the unaudited forecasted financial information covers multiple years, such information, by its nature, becomes less predictive with each successive year. There will be differences between actual and projected results, there can be no assurance that the projected results

146

will be realized, and actual results may differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of the projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that AMPSA or its representatives consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events.

Certain of the measures included in the financial projections may be considered non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS, and non-IFRS financial measures as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies.

Financial measures provided to a financial advisor are excluded from the definition of non-IFRS financial measures and therefore, are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of non-IFRS financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-IFRS financial measure to a IFRS financial measure. Reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures were not relied upon by Duff & Phelps for purposes of its financial analysis as described above in "—Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor" located elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus or by the GHV board of directors in connection with its consideration of the Merger. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measures is not provided.

The projections were requested by, and disclosed to, GHV for use as a component in its overall evaluation of AMPSA. The projections are included in this proxy statement/prospectus because they were provided to the GHV Board for its evaluation of the Business Combination and were provided to Duff & Phelps for its use in connection with its financial analyses and opinion to the GHV Board, as described in the section entitled "Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor" and as set forth as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Neither AMPSA's management nor any of AMPSA's representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the performance of AMPSA following the Business Combination compared to the information contained in the projections, and neither AMPSA's management nor any of AMPSA's representatives intends to or undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise the projections or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are no longer appropriate. Accordingly, they should not be looked upon as guidance of any sort. Following the Merger, AMPSA will not refer back to these forecasts in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

Neither GHV's nor AMPSA's independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have audited, reviewed, compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the any prospective financial information provided to the GHV Board or contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information.

The projections are the responsibility of AMPSA's management. AMPSA management have no responsibility for, and were not consulted with respect to, any adjustments made by GHV or Duff & Phelps to the prospective financial information provided by AMPSA to GHV and summarized in the first chart below. PricewaterhouseCoopers, AMPSA's independent registered accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled or otherwise performed procedures with respect to the accompanying financial information presented herein and, accordingly, expresses no opinion or any other form of assurance on it. The PricewaterhouseCoopers report included in this proxy statement/prospectus relates to previously issued financial statements of AMPSA. It does not extend to the projections and should not be read as if it does.

7.
  Net Working Capital means working capital as defined in note 3 to the "Selected Historical Combined Financial and Other Data of the AMP Business," adjusted for corporate income tax receivable and capital expenditure payable.

GHV provided to Duff & Phelps the financial projections it had received from AMPSA for purposes of the financial analyses to be performed by Duff & Phelps in connection with rendering its fairness opinion. Duff & Phelps used those financial projections and other information and data provided by GHV (for which AMPSA has no responsibility) as the basis for a discounted cash flow analysis. Beyond the projection period, Duff & Phelps estimated the "terminal value" using a perpetuity formula assuming a 3.25% terminal growth rate. The resulting cash flows and an estimated

148

terminal value, set forth below, were discounted at a weighted average cost of capital range of 9.00% to 10.00%:

Interests of GHV Initial Stockholders and GHV's Other Current Officers and Directors

In considering the recommendation of GHV's Board to vote for the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal, you should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, GHV's Sponsor and certain members of GHV's Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of GHV's stockholders generally. GHV's Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and transaction agreements and in recommending to GHV's stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Merger Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

•
  the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the GHV Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the GHV Founder Shares that will be exchanged for AMPSA Shares at the Merger Effective Time, and which AMPSA Shares would, if unrestricted and freely tradable, have a value of approximately $98 million at the Merger Effective Time (based on per share price of $10), but given the restrictions on such AMPSA Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, GHV believes such AMPSA Shares have less value;
•
  the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their GHV Founder Shares if GHV fails to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;

149

•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $12,500,000 for its 6,250,000 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of GHV Class A Common Stock, and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire and become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by August 10, 2022;
•
  if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event GHV is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the GHV Sponsor has agreed to indemnify GHV to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which GHV has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to GHV, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;
•
  the continued indemnification of GHV's existing directors and officers and the purchase of a tail policy with respect to GHV's directors' and officers' existing liability insurance;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in GHV and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if GHV does not consummate an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has the right to nominate two independent directors to AMPSA's board of directors as of the Closing;
•
  that, at the closing of the Merger, GHV will enter into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, which provides for registration rights to the holders of AMPSA Shares that are parties thereto and their permitted transferees;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor and members of the GHV Board and management would hold the following number of shares in AMPSA at the Closing:

Name of Person/Entity |  | Number of AMPSA Shares |  | Value of AMPSA Shares(1) |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Gores Sponsor V LLC |  |  | 9,768,750 | (2) | $ | 97,687,500 |
Alec E. Gores |  |  | 9,928,250 | (3) | $ | 99,282,500 |
Mark R. Stone |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Andrew McBride |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Randall Bort |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |
William Patton |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |
Jeffrey Rea |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |

(1)
  Based on a per share price of $10.00.
(2)
  Excluding the GHV Sponsor Backstop.
(3)
  Represents (i) 159,500 shares that Mr. Gores has committed to purchase in the PIPE, plus (ii) 9,768,750 shares held by GHV Sponsor which is controlled indirectly by Mr. Gores. Mr. Gores ultimately exercises voting and dispositive power of the securities held by GHV Sponsor. Voting and disposition decisions with respect to such securities are made by Mr. Gores. Mr. Gores disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.

•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has entered into a Subscription Agreement with AMPSA and GHV, pursuant to which the GHV Sponsor has committed to purchase 2.5 million AMPSA Shares in the PIPE for an aggregate commitment of approximately $25 million, provided that the GHV Sponsor has the right to syndicate the AMPSA Shares purchased under such Subscription Agreement in advance of the Closing;

150

•
  that an affiliate of the GHV Sponsor, Mr. Alec E. Gores, has committed to purchase 159,500 AMPSA Shares in the PIPE for an aggregate commitment of approximately $1,595,000 in connection with the syndication by the GHV Sponsor of its portion of the PIPE; and
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has committed to acquire up to 9.5 million AMPSA Shares at a per share price of $10.00 in the event that there are redemptions from the Trust Account that are in excess of $1 million.

Potential Actions to Secure Requisite Stockholder Approvals

In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Merger Proposal, the Sponsor and GHV's directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares of GHV Common Stock from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with the Merger for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of the Sponsor or GHV's directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller. Such a purchase of shares may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of the shares of GHV Class A Common Stock is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor or GHV's directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. The purpose of such share purchases would be to increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Merger Proposal or to satisfy the Minimum Cash Closing Conditions in the Business Combination Agreement.

Listing of AMPSA Shares

Approval of the listing on NYSE of the AMPSA Shares to be issued in the Business Combination, subject to official notice of issuance, is a condition to each party's obligation to complete the Merger.

Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

As the first step within the Business Combination, AGSA undertook the Pre-Closing Restructuring whereby AGSA effected a series of transactions that resulted in among other things, (a) the AMP Business being wholly owned by AMPSA and (b) any assets and liabilities relating to the business of AGSA (other than the AMP Business) that are held by the AMP Entities being transferred to subsidiaries of AGSA that are not the AMP Entities, and assets and liabilities relating to the AMP Business that are held by subsidiaries of AGSA (other than the AMP Entities) being transferred to the AMP Entities. These transactions are accounted for as a capital reorganization as, prior to the Pre-Closing Restructuring, AMPSA did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 (Business Combination). Under a capital reorganization, the consolidated financial statements of AMPSA reflect the net assets transferred at pre-combination predecessor book values. Following this first step, AMPSA continues to be a wholly owned subsidiary of AGSA.

The capital reorganization will be followed at closing by a Merger whereby MergeCo (a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA) will merge with and into GHV, with GHV being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA. This Merger transaction will be accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 (Share-based Payment). Under this method of accounting, there is no acquisition accounting and no recognition of goodwill, as GHV is not considered a business as defined by IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) given it consists predominantly of cash in the Trust Account. Under this method of accounting, GHV will be treated as the "acquired" company for financial

151

reporting purposes. In order to reach this conclusion, the following factors were also taken into consideration: (i) the business will comprise the ongoing operations of AMPSA; (ii) senior management will comprise the senior management of AMPSA; and (iii) the pre-Business Combination shareholders of AMPSA will have the largest ownership of AMPSA and the right to appoint the highest number of board members relative to other shareholders.

In accordance with IFRS 2, the difference in the fair value of the consideration (shares and warrants issued by AMPSA) for the acquisition of GHV over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of GHV will represent a service for listing of AMPSA and be accounted for as an expense for a share-based payment. The consideration for the acquisition of GHV was determined using the closing prices of GHV's publicly traded GHV Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols "GRSV" and "GRSVW" in addition to the calculated fair value, using a Black Scholes valuation, of Private Placement Warrants, each as of June 17, 2021.

DTC Book-Entry Shares

With respect to shares of GHV Class A Common Stock represented by book-entry held through DTC, AMPSA and GHV will cooperate with the exchange agent to establish procedures to ensure that such shares eligible to be exchanged for AMPSA Shares are so exchanged as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date.

Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Stock Certificates

If a certificate for shares of GHV Class A Common Stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the exchange agent will deliver the AMPSA Shares pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement upon receipt of an affidavit by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed.

Representation and Warranties

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of AMPSA, AGSA, GHV and MergeCo relating to, among other things, their ability to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and their outstanding capitalization.

Amendment; Waiver and Extension of the Business Combination Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement may be amended in writing by all parties thereto at any time prior to the Merger Effective Time.

At any time prior to the Merger Effective Time, (a) GHV may (i) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of the AGSA, AMPSA or MergeCo, (ii) to the extent permitted by Law, waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of AGSA contained in the Business Combination Agreement or in any document delivered by AGSA, AMPSA or MergeCo pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and (iii) waive compliance by AGSA, AMPSA or MergeCo with any of the terms or conditions to its own obligations contained in the Business Combination Agreement, or agree to an amendment or modification to the Business Combination Agreement; and (b) AGSA may (on its own behalf and on behalf of AMPSA and MergeCo) (i) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of GHV, (ii) to the extent permitted by Law, waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of GHV contained in the Business Combination Agreement or in any document delivered by GHV pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and (iii) waive compliance by GHV with any of the terms or conditions to its own obligations contained in the Business Combination Agreement, or agree to an amendment or modification to the Business Combination Agreement. Any such amendment, extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing executed in the same manner as the Business Combination Agreement.

Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction

The Business Combination Agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that state, except to the extent mandatorily governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to the Business Combination Agreement will be heard and

161

determined exclusively in any Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case the United States District Court for the District of Delaware). The parties to the Business Combination Agreement (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consented and submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, (b) irrevocably waived and agreed that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court, and (c) agreed that it will not bring any such action in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case the United States District Court for the District of Delaware).

Expenses

In the event that the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated, all transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination will be paid by the party incurring such transaction expenses. If the Merger is consummated, AMPSA will bear the reasonable and documented transaction expenses of all parties; provided that the transaction expenses of GHV shall not exceed $50,000,000.

Vote Required for Approval

The Merger is conditioned on the approval of the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting.

The Merger Proposal (and consequently, the Business Combination Agreement and the Merger) will be adopted and approved only if at least a majority of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting vote "FOR" the Merger Proposal. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Merger Proposal.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any shares of GHV Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Merger. As of the record date, the Sponsor, and GHV's directors and officers own 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE GHV BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
THAT GHV'S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR"
THE MERGER PROPOSAL.

CERTAIN AGREEMENTS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

Transfer Agreement

On February 22, 2021, AGSA and AMPSA entered into a Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which, prior to the Pre-Closing Restructuring Completion Date, AGSA agreed to effect the Pre-Closing Restructuring through a series of transactions that resulted in, among other things, AMPSA owning the AMP Business. The Pre-Closing Restructuring was consummated on April 1, 2021.

The Transfer Agreement requires AMPSA to indemnify Ardagh Group and its affiliates for losses arising from AMPSA's business (including employee liabilities) and requires Ardagh Group to indemnify AMPSA for losses arising from Ardagh Group's business (including employee liabilities). The Transfer Agreement provides for other transactions, including the settlement of intercompany payables and receivables and the termination or transfer of various obligations and liabilities (including credit and support obligations) of the AMP Entities in favor of Ardagh Group's business, and of Ardagh Group in favor of the AMPSA's business.

In addition, the Transfer Agreement contains non-competition and employee non-solicitation obligations of both AMPSA and Ardagh Group. For a period commencing at the Pre-Closing Restructuring Completion Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Pre-Closing Restructuring Completion Date or (ii) the date on which Ardagh Group no longer is the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the voting stock of AMPSA, Ardagh Group and its subsidiaries (excluding any AMPSA entity) will not engage in AMPSA's business as conducted on the date of the Transfer Agreement with the exception of services provided under the Services Agreement, and AMPSA and its subsidiaries will not engage in Ardagh Group's businesses as conducted on the date of the Transfer Agreement with the exception of services provided under the Services Agreement. For a period commencing at the Pre-Closing Restructuring Completion Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing or (ii) the date on which Ardagh Group no longer is the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the voting stock of AMPSA, none of Ardagh Group or its subsidiaries (excluding any AMP Entity) will solicit for employment or hire any AMP Employee (as defined in the Transfer Agreement) with an annual base salary or wages greater than €150,000, subject to certain exceptions. Similarly, for the same period, none of AMPSA or its subsidiaries will solicit for employment or hire any employee of Ardagh Group with an annual base salary or wages greater than €150,000, subject to certain exceptions.

Services Agreement

In connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring, AGSA and AMPSA will enter into a Services Agreement, pursuant to which AGSA, either directly or indirectly through its affiliates, will provide certain corporate and business-unit services to AMPSA and its subsidiaries, and AMPSA, either directly or indirectly through its affiliates, shall provide certain corporate and business-unit services to AGSA and its affiliates (other than the AMP Entities). The services provided pursuant to the Services Agreement include typical corporate functional support areas in order to complement the activities in areas which exist within the AMPSA Group (as defined in the Services Agreement). For each calendar year from 2021 through 2024, as consideration for the corporate services provided by Ardagh Group to AMPSA, AMPSA will provide corporate services to Ardagh Group and will pay Ardagh Group $33 million for the calendar year 2021 (prorated to reflect the timing of the Pre-Closing Restructuring Completion Date), $38 million for calendar year 2022, $39 million for calendar year 2023 and $39 million for calendar year 2024. The fees paid for services pursuant to the Services Agreement are subject to adjustment for third party costs and variations for certain volume-based services. As of December 31, 2024, or if earlier, the date upon which AMPSA or Ardagh Group undergoes a change of control, all corporate services provided pursuant to the Services Agreement will be provided at a price equal to the fully allocated cost of such services, or such other price to be negotiated in good

163

faith by the parties, taking into consideration various factors, including the cost of providing such corporate services and the level of services expected to be provided.

Shareholders Agreement

In connection with the completion of the Merger, AGSA and AMPSA will enter into the Shareholders Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, AGSA will have the right to nominate nine directors to the AMPSA's board of directors, of whom (i) one will initially be the current Chief Executive Officer of AGSA, who will serve as chairperson of the board; and (ii) at least three shall satisfy the independence requirements of NYSE. Two independent directors will be appointed upon proposal for nomination by the Sponsor as Class I directors pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, for so long as AGSA holds at least 20% of the outstanding AMPSA Shares, AGSA will also have the right to: (A) nominate a number of directors to the AMPSA's board of directors at least proportional to the number of outstanding AMPSA Shares owned by AGSA; (B) designate the chairperson of the board of directors of AMPSA (who need not be a nominee of Ardagh Group); and (C) appoint a number of representatives to each committee of the board of AMPSA that is at least proportional to the number of outstanding AMPSA Shares owned by AGSA. In addition, for so long as Ardagh Group holds at least 40% of the outstanding AMPSA Shares, the following actions may not be taken (or agreed to be taken) by AMPSA without the prior written consent of Ardagh Group: (a) the sale of greater than 40% of the assets or voting securities of AMPSA (with certain exceptions); (b) voluntary liquidation or dissolution of AMPSA; (c) any amendment of AMPSA's articles of association that materially and adversely affects AGSA in its capacity as a shareholder; (d) relocation of AMPSA's corporate headquarters; (e) change to AMPSA's corporate name; or (f) any corporate action that would materially adversely affect any of the foregoing approval rights.

Subscription Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, AMPSA and GHV entered into the Subscription Agreements with the Subscribers, pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to subscribe for, and AMPSA agreed to issue to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 60,000,000 AMPSA Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate cash amount of $600,000,000.

The issuance of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Merger.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, AMPSA agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the Closing Date, it will file with the SEC (at AMPSA's sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares, and AMPSA will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement entered into by the GHV Sponsor, the GHV Sponsor committed to acquire 2,500,000 AMPSA Shares (which may be syndicated by it) and to the GHV Sponsor Backstop.

Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with the Closing, AMPSA, the Initial Stockholders and AGSA will enter into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement which provides customary demand and piggyback registration rights. Pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, AMPSA will agree that, as soon as practicable, and in any event within 30 days after the Closing, it will file with the SEC (at AMPSA's sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of any outstanding AMPSA Shares or any other equity security held by a party to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up

164

Agreement and any other equity security of AMPSA issued or issuable with respect to any such AMPSA Share by way of a dividend or stock split in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise, and AMPSA will use its reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the 60th day (or the 90th day if the registration statement is reviewed by, and received comments from, the SEC) following the filing deadline.

Subject to certain exceptions, including in connection with certain exchanges involving AGSA shareholders, AGSA may not transfer any AMPSA Shares beneficially owned or owned of record by it during the Share Lock-Up Period. During the Share Lock-Up Period, no Initial Stockholder may transfer AMPSA Shares beneficially owned or owned of record by such Initial Stockholder. During the period ending 30 days after the date of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, no Initial Stockholder may transfer any GHV Warrants or any of the AMPSA Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of such GHV Warrants beneficially owned or owned of record by such Initial Stockholder. The lock-up provisions are subject to a number of customary exceptions.

Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement

In connection with the Closing, AMPSA will enter into a Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement with GHV and Computershare, as warrant agent to assume GHV's obligations under the existing Warrant Agreement, dated August 10, 2020 with respect to the GHV Warrants.

165

MATERIAL LUXEMBOURG TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general description of certain Luxembourg tax considerations relating to AMPSA and the holders of AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations in relation to the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants. Prospective purchasers should consult their own tax advisers as to which countries' tax laws could be relevant to acquiring, holding and disposing of the securities and the consequences of such actions under the tax laws of those countries. This overview is based upon the law as in effect on the date of this document and is subject to any change in law that may take effect after such date, even with retroactive effect.

The comments below are intended as a basic overview of certain tax consequences in relation to AMPSA and the purchase, ownership and disposition of AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants under Luxembourg law. Tax matters are complex, and the tax consequences of the offering to a particular holder of AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants will depend in part on such holder's circumstances. Accordingly, a holder is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the offering to him or her, including the applicability and effect of Luxembourg tax laws.

The summary in this Luxembourg taxation paragraph does not address the Luxembourg tax consequences for a holder of AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants who:

(i) is an investor as defined in a specific law (such as the law on family wealth management companies of 11 May 2007, as amended, the law on undertakings for collective investment of 17 December 2010, as amended, the law on specialized investment funds of 13 February 2007, as amended, the law on reserved alternative investment funds of 23 July 2016, the law on securitisation of 22 March 2004, as amended, the law on venture capital vehicles of 15 June 2004, as amended and the law on pension saving companies and associations of 13 July 2005;

(ii) is a Luxembourg resident individual;

(iii) is, in whole or in part, exempt from tax; or

(iv) acquires, owns or disposes of AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants in connection with a membership of a management board, a supervisory board, an employment relationship, a deemed employment relationship or management role.

Where in this summary English terms and expressions are used to refer to Luxembourg tax concepts, the meaning to be attributed to such terms and expressions shall be the meaning to be attributed to the equivalent Luxembourg concepts under Luxembourg law.

Taxation of AMPSA

AMPSA is subject to Luxembourg tax on its worldwide profits at the current combined ordinary rate of 24.94% for Luxembourg City, including the 17% corporate income tax, a 6.75% municipal business tax and a solidarity surcharge (together the "Income Tax").

In principle, dividends and capital gains realized by AMPSA are subject to Income Tax in Luxembourg. However, provided the conditions of the Luxembourg participation exemption regime are met, dividends and capital gains realized by AMPSA upon the disposal of shares are not taxable in Luxembourg. Capital gains realized in relation to a participation qualifying for the Luxembourg participation exemption may, however, be taxable up to the amount of expenses or value adjustments in recapture, i.e. expenses economically connected to an exempt participation, which have been deducted from the tax base of the Luxembourg company. Certain general as well as specific anti-abuse provisions may apply.

166

Luxembourg net wealth tax ("NWT") will be due annually by AMPSA at the rate of 0.5% on its total net asset value below or equal to €500 million. The tranche above €500 million will be taxed at a rate of 0.05%.

Shareholdings qualifying for the Luxembourg participation exemption regime are excluded from the NWT basis provided that, the relevant entity holds a direct shareholding in a qualifying subsidiary representing at least 10% of the qualifying subsidiary's share capital or having an acquisition cost (including both share capital and share premium) of at least €1.2 million; there is no minimum holding period requirement.

Companies for which the sum of fixed financial assets (i.e., financial assets notably including shares and loans, transferable securities and cash) exceeds 90% of their total balance sheet and €350,000 are liable to a minimum annual NWT of €4,815. Other companies are liable to a minimum progressive tax (in an amount up to €32,100), depending on the total assets on their balance sheet.

Withholding taxation

Any dividends distributed by AMPSA will in principle be subject to a 15% withholding tax unless an exemption or a treaty reduction applies.

The concept "dividends distributed by AMPSA" as used in this Luxembourg taxation paragraph includes, but is not limited to, distributions in cash or in kind, proceeds paid by AMPSA upon a redemption or repurchase of ordinary AMPSA shares, repayments of capital and deemed and constructive distributions.

Luxembourg taxation of the holders

Luxembourg tax residence of the holders

Holders will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on business in Luxembourg for income tax purposes solely by reason of holding, execution, performance, delivery, exchange and/or enforcement of the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants.

Taxation of Luxembourg non-residents

Holders who are non-residents of Luxembourg and who do not have a permanent establishment, a permanent representative, or a fixed place of business in Luxembourg with which the holding of the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants is connected, are not liable to any Luxembourg income tax (other than a tax potentially levied by way of withholding at source), whether they receive payments upon redemption or repurchase of all AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants, or realize capital gains on the sale of any AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants, unless they sell a participation of more than 10% in the capital of AMPSA within 6 months of its acquisition or they have been a resident of Luxembourg for tax purposes for at least 15 years and have become a non-resident within the five years preceding the realization of the gain.

Taxation of Luxembourg residents

Holders who are Luxembourg resident companies (société de capitaux) or foreign entities which have a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in Luxembourg with which the holding of the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants is connected, must include in their taxable income any income (including dividends) and the difference between the sale or redemption price and the tax book value of the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants sold or redeemed, unless the conditions of the Luxembourg participation exemption regime are met.

167

Net Wealth Tax

Luxembourg net wealth tax will not be levied on the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants held by a corporate holder, unless: (a) such holder is a Luxembourg resident or (b) such AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants are attributable to an enterprise or part thereof which is carried on by a non-resident company in Luxembourg through a permanent establishment.

Other Taxes

No registration tax will be payable by a holder of AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants upon the disposal of AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants by sale or exchange. The issuance as well as the redemption of shares by a Luxembourg resident company as well as any other changes to its articles of association are subject to a fixed registration tax in Luxembourg amounting to EUR 75. Registration duties may, moreover, be due if documents relating to the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants are (i) voluntarily registered in Luxembourg, (ii) appended to a document that requires obligatory registration in Luxembourg or (iii) deposited with the official records of a Luxembourg notary.

There is no Luxembourg value added tax payable in respect of payments in consideration for the issuance of the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants or in respect of the payment under the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants or in respect of the transfer of the AMPSA Shares and/or AMPSA Warrants. Luxembourg value added tax may, however, be payable in respect of fees charged for certain services rendered to AMPSA if, for Luxembourg value added tax purposes, such services are rendered or are deemed to be rendered in Luxembourg and an exemption from Luxembourg value added tax does not apply with respect to such services.

No Luxembourg inheritance tax is levied on the transfer of the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants upon the death of a holder in cases where the deceased was not a resident of Luxembourg for inheritance tax purposes. Where a holder is a resident or a deemed resident of Luxembourg for at the time of his or her death, the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants are included in his taxable estate for inheritance tax assessment purposes. No Luxembourg gift tax will be levied on the transfer of the AMPSA Shares or AMPSA Warrants by way of gift unless the gift is registered in Luxembourg.

168

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations in the opinion attached as Exhibit 8.1, the statements of law and legal conclusions set forth below represent the opinion of Shearman & Sterling LLP.

This section describes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for beneficial owners of GHV Common Stock and GHV Warrants (collectively, the "GHV Securities") (i) of electing to have their GHV Common Stock redeemed for cash if the Merger is completed, (ii) of the Merger and (iii) of the ownership and disposition of AMPSA Shares and AMPSA Warrants ("AMPSA Securities") acquired pursuant to the Merger. This discussion applies only to GHV Securities and AMPSA Securities held as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment) and does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or status, including the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, or holders who are subject to special rules, including:

•
  brokers or dealers;
•
  traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;
•
  tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts or other tax deferred accounts;
•
  banks or other financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;
•
  U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;
•
  persons that own (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 5% or more (by vote or value) of the GHV Common Stock or AMPSA Shares;
•
  persons holding GHV Securities or AMPSA Securities as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position;
•
  U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
•
  persons who purchase shares in AMPSA as part of the PIPE Investment;
•
  persons that received GHV Securities or AMPSA Securities as compensation for services; or
•
  controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies.

If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds GHV Securities or AMPSA Securities, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination and of holding the GHV Securities or AMPSA Securities.

This discussion is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code (the "Treasury Regulations"), published guidance by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and court decisions, all as of the date hereof. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This discussion is necessarily general and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation, including the effect of the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, or U.S. federal estate and gift tax, or any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws to a holder of GHV Securities or AMPSA Securities. GHV and AMPSA have not sought and do not intend to seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the Business Combination. There is no assurance that the IRS will

169

not take positions concerning the tax consequences of the Business Combination that are different from those discussed below, or that any such different positions would not be sustained by a court.

ALL HOLDERS OF GHV SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF AMPSA SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of AMPSA

A corporation generally is considered to be a tax resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Accordingly, under the generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, AMPSA, which is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg, would be classified as a non-U.S. corporation (and, therefore, not a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 7874 of the Code provides an exception to this general rule (more fully discussed below), under which a non-U.S. incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These rules are complex and there is limited guidance regarding their application.

Under Section 7874, a corporation created or organized outside the United States (i.e., a non-U.S. corporation) will nevertheless be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and, therefore, as a U.S. tax resident subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income) if each of the following three conditions are met: (i) the non-U.S. corporation, directly or indirectly, acquires substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by one or more U.S. corporations (including through the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of a U.S. corporation); (ii) the non-U.S. corporation's "expanded affiliated group" does not have "substantial business activities" in the non-U.S. corporation's country of organization or incorporation and tax residence relative to the expanded affiliated group's worldwide activities (this test is referred to as the "substantial business activities test"); and (iii) after the acquisition, the percentage of the shares of the non-U.S. acquiring corporation held by former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation(s) by reason of holding shares in the U.S. acquired corporation(s) (taking into account the receipt of the non-U.S. corporation's shares in exchange for each U.S. corporation's shares) as determined for purposes of Section 7874 (the "Section 7874 ownership percentage") is at least 80% (by either vote or value) (this test is referred to as the "80% ownership test" and the three-prong test described in clauses (i)–(iii) above is referred to as the "Section 7874(b) expatriation test").

Further, Section 7874 can limit the ability of U.S. corporations and their U.S. affiliates acquired by "surrogate foreign corporations" to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes (including net operating losses and certain tax credits) to offset U.S. taxable income resulting from certain transactions. These limitations will potentially apply if the Section 7874(b) expatriation test would be satisfied if the 80% ownership test were applied by substituting "60%" for "80%", in which case the taxable income of the U.S. corporations (and any U.S. person considered to be related to the U.S. corporations pursuant to applicable rules) for any given year, within a period beginning on the first date the U.S. corporations' properties were acquired directly or indirectly by the non-U.S. acquiring corporation and ending 10 years after the last date the U.S. corporations' properties were acquired, will be no less than that person's "inversion gain" for that taxable year. A person's inversion gain includes gain from the transfer of shares or any other property (other than property held for sale to customers) and income from the license of any property that is either transferred or licensed as part of the acquisition or after the acquisition to a non-U.S. related person. In general, the effect of this provision is to deny the use of net operating losses, foreign tax credits or other tax attributes to offset the inversion gain. In addition, dividends paid by AMPSA would not qualify for "qualified dividend income" treatment. Further, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act imposed additional requirements on a U.S. corporation that has

170

failed the substantial business activities test and met the 60% ownership test, including that such U.S. corporation must include, as base erosion payments that may be subject to a minimum tax, any amounts treated as reductions in gross income paid to a related non-U.S. person within the meaning of Section 59A of the Code.

Based upon the terms of the Pre-Closing Restructuring pursuant to the Transfer Agreement and the Merger, the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and certain factual assumptions, both GHV and AMPSA currently expect that the Section 7874 ownership percentage should be less than 60% after the Merger. Accordingly, AMPSA is not expected to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the U.S. subsidiaries of AMPSA are not expected to be subject to the limitations and other rules described above under Section 7874. However, whether the 80% ownership test (or 60% ownership test) has been satisfied must be finally determined after completion of the Merger, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant facts and circumstances or adverse rule changes. In addition, the rules for determining ownership under Section 7874 are complex and unclear.

If AMPSA were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it could be subject to substantial liability for additional U.S. income taxes, and the gross amount of any dividend payments to its non-U.S. holders (as defined below) could be subject to 30% U.S. withholding tax, depending on the application of any income tax treaty that might apply to reduce the withholding tax. Furthermore, if the IRS were to successfully assert that the 60% ownership test has been met, the ability of the U.S. subsidiaries of AMPSA to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes against income or gain recognized pursuant to certain transactions may be limited.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that AMPSA will not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the U.S. subsidiaries of AMPSA will not be subject to the limitations and other rules under Section 7874.

U.S. Holders

The section applies to you if you are a U.S. holder. For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder means a beneficial owner of GHV Securities or AMPSA Securities that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•
  an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
•
  a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
•
  an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
•
  a trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

The Merger

GHV's obligation to effect the Merger is conditioned on the receipt by AMPSA of the Tax Opinion, providing that for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Merger, taken together with certain related transactions, should qualify as a transaction described under Section 351 of the Code and should not subject the GHV stockholders to U.S. federal income tax under Section 367 of the Code (subject to entry into gain recognition agreements by any such stockholders required to enter into such agreements to preserve tax-free treatment under Section 367 of the Code). This condition is waivable

171

by GHV, and GHV undertakes to circulate a new or amended proxy statement or supplement thereto and resolicit the vote of GHV's stockholders with respect to the Merger Proposal if this condition is waived and the change in tax consequences is material. Such opinion will be based on customary assumptions and on representations made by AGSA and GHV, as well as certain covenants and undertakings by AGSA and GHV. If any of the assumptions, representations, covenants or undertakings by AGSA or GHV is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate or is violated, the accuracy of the opinion described above may be affected and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger could differ from those described herein. An opinion by KPMG LLP is not binding on the IRS or any court. Neither AGSA nor GHV intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger. Accordingly, even if AMPSA receives the Tax Opinion, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions reflected in the Tax Opinion or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.

Assuming the receipt and accuracy of the Tax Opinion described above, a U.S. holder that exchanges its GHV Common Stock in the Merger for AMPSA Shares generally should not recognize any gain or loss on such exchange. In such case, the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the AMPSA Shares received by a U.S. holder in the Merger should be equal to the adjusted tax basis of the GHV Common Stock surrendered in the Merger in exchange therefor. The holding period of the AMPSA Shares should include the holding period of the GHV Common Stock surrendered in the Merger in exchange therefor.

To the extent the Merger does not so qualify, then a GHV stockholder that is a U.S. holder generally would recognize gain, if any, in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the AMPSA Shares (and, if such U.S. holder is also surrendering GHV Warrants, AMPSA Warrants) received over (ii) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the GHV Common Stock (and GHV Warrants, if any) exchanged therefor. Any such gain would be capital gain, and would be long-term capital gain only if the U.S. holder's holding period for the GHV Common Stock (and GHV Warrants, if any) exceeds one year at the time of the Merger.

The appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of the disposition of GHV Warrants in exchange for AMPSA Warrants in connection with the Merger is uncertain. It is possible that a U.S. holder of GHV Warrants could be treated as exchanging such GHV Warrants for "new" warrants. If so treated, a U.S. holder could be required to recognize gain or loss in such deemed exchange in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the AMPSA Warrants held by such U.S. holder immediately following the Merger and the adjusted tax basis of the GHV Warrants held by such U.S. holder immediately prior to the Merger. Alternatively, it is also possible that a U.S. holder of GHV Warrants could be treated as transferring its GHV Warrants and shares of GHV Common Stock to AMPSA for AMPSA Warrants and AMPSA Shares in an exchange governed only by Section 351 of the Code (and not by Section 368 of the Code). If so treated, a U.S. holder should be required to recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of gain realized by such holder (generally, the excess of (x) the sum of the fair market values of the AMPSA Warrants treated as received by such holder and the AMPSA Shares received by such holder over (y) such holder's aggregate adjusted tax basis in the GHV Warrants and GHV Common Stock treated as having been exchanged therefor) and (ii) the fair market value of the AMPSA Warrants treated as having been received by such holder in such exchange. However, if the deemed transfer of GHV Warrants also qualifies as part of a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, subject to Section 367(a) of the Code as discussed below, a U.S. holder of GHV Warrants generally should not recognize any gain or loss on any such deemed transfer of GHV Warrants, and such U.S. holder's basis in the AMPSA Warrants deemed received should be equal to the U.S. holder's basis in its GHV Warrants deemed transferred. The requirements for qualification of the Merger as a "reorganization" under Section 368 of the Code are more stringent in certain respects than the requirements for qualification as an exchange under Section 351 of the Code.

172

While not free from doubt, GHV and AMPSA intend to report the exchange of GHV Warrants for AMPSA Warrants as not qualifying as part of a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. U.S. holders of GHV Warrants are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the treatment of their GHV Warrants in connection with the Merger.

Section 367(a)

Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder generally require a U.S. holder of stock in a U.S. corporation to recognize gain (but not loss) when such stock is exchanged for stock of a non-U.S. corporation in an exchange that would otherwise qualify for nonrecognition treatment, unless certain conditions are met. U.S. holders of GHV Common Stock will be deemed to transfer shares of such stock to AMPSA in exchange for AMPSA Shares, and Section 367(a) would require gain (but not loss) recognition by such stockholders unless each of the following conditions is met: (i) the U.S. corporation complies with certain reporting requirements; (ii) no more than 50% of both the total voting power and the total value of the stock of AMPSA is received in the exchange, in the aggregate, by "U.S. transferors" (as defined in the Treasury Regulations), computed by taking into account direct, indirect and constructive ownership; (iii) no more than 50% of each of the total voting power and the total value of the stock of AMPSA is owned, in the aggregate, immediately after the exchange by "U.S. persons" (as defined in the Treasury Regulations) that are officers, directors or "five-percent target shareholders" of GHV (as defined in the Treasury Regulations), computed by taking into account direct, indirect and constructive ownership; (iv) either (A) the U.S. holder is not a "five-percent transferee shareholder" of AMPSA (as defined in the Treasury Regulations) or (B) the U.S. holder is a "five-percent transferee shareholder" of AMPSA and enters into an agreement with the IRS to recognize gain on the transferred GHV Common Stock under certain circumstances; and (v) the "active trade or business test" as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(3) is satisfied. The active trade or business test generally requires (A) AMPSA or any qualified subsidiary of AMPSA to be engaged in an "active trade or business" outside of the United States for the 36-month period immediately before the transfer and neither the transferors nor AMPSA to have an intention to substantially dispose of or discontinue such trade or business and (B) the fair market value of AMPSA to be at least equal to the fair market value of GHV, as specifically determined for purposes of Section 367 of the Code, at the time of the transfer.

It is currently expected that conditions (i), (ii), (iii) and (v) above will be met and AMPSA expects to receive the Tax Opinion to that effect. As a result, AMPSA does not expect Section 367(a) to apply with respect to the exchange of GHV Common Stock for AMPSA Shares (subject to entry into gain recognition agreements by any "five-percent transferee shareholder" of AMPSA required to enter into such an agreement to preserve tax-free treatment under Section 367 of the Code). However, U.S. holders are cautioned that the potential application of Section 367(a) of the Code to the Merger is complex and depends on factors that cannot be determined until the closing of the Merger and upon the interpretation of legal authorities and facts relating to the Business Combination. U.S. holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of Section 367(a) of the Code in their particular situation.

To the extent that a U.S. holder of GHV Common Stock is required to recognize gain under Section 367(a) for any of the foregoing reasons, such U.S. holder would recognize gain, if any, in the Merger in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the sum of the fair market value of the AMPSA Shares (and, if such holder's GHV Warrants convert to AMPSA Warrants, the fair market value of the AMPSA Warrants) received by such holder, over (ii) such holder's adjusted tax basis in the GHV Common Stock (and GHV Warrants, if any) exchanged therefor. Any such gain would be capital gain, and generally would be long-term capital gain if the U.S. holder's holding period for the GHV Common Stock (and GHV Warrants, if any) exceeds one year at the time of the Merger.

173

Redemption of GHV Common Stock

In the event that a U.S. holder of GHV Common Stock exercises its right to have its GHV Common Stock redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the section of this registration statement captioned "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2021 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders—Redemption Rights", the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of such stock pursuant to Section 302 of the Code or whether the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Whether that redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of GHV Common Stock treated as held by the U.S. holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of, among other things, owning GHV Warrants) relative to all of shares of GHV Common Stock both before and after the redemption. The redemption of stock generally will be treated as a sale of the stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption is "substantially disproportionate" with respect to the U.S. holder, results in a "complete termination" of the U.S. holder's interest in GHV or is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of GHV Common Stock that are constructively owned by such U.S. holder. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any stock the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which generally would include common stock that could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the GHV Warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of GHV's outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following the redemption of GHV Common Stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of GHV's outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. holder's interest if either all the shares of GHV Common Stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or all the shares of GHV Common Stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed and the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of the GHV Common Stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. holder's redemption results in a "meaningful reduction" of the U.S. holder's proportionate interest in GHV. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder's proportionate interest in GHV will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly-held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a "meaningful reduction."

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of stock by the U.S. holder under Section 302 of the Code, the U.S. holder generally will be required to recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the shares of GHV Common Stock redeemed. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. Any such capital gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder's holding period for such GHV Common Stock exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights of a U.S. holder with respect to the GHV Common Stock may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. If the running of the holding period is suspended, then non-corporate U.S. holders may not be able to satisfy the one year holding period requirement for long-term capital gain treatment, in which case any gain on a sale or taxable disposition of the GHV Common Stock would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains

174

recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders may be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. A U.S. holder's tax basis in such holder's shares of GHV Common Stock generally will equal the cost of such shares. A U.S. holder that purchased GHV units would have been required to allocate the cost between the shares of GHV Common Stock and the warrants comprising the units based on their relative fair market values at the time of the purchase.

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of stock under Section 302 of the Code, then the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits of GHV, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such U.S. holder's GHV Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the GHV Common Stock. After the application of the foregoing rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in the redeemed GHV Common Stock will be added to the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, to the basis of stock constructively owned by such holder if the stock actually owned by the holder is completely redeemed.

Dividends deemed paid by GHV to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions, and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends deemed paid by GHV to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute "qualified dividends" that will be subject to tax at the rates accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the GHV Common Stock described in this proxy statement/prospectus may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.

A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

Distributions on AMPSA Shares

Subject to the discussion below under "—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules," the gross amount of any distribution on AMPSA Shares generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary dividend income on the date such distribution is actually or constructively received, but only to the extent that the distribution is paid out of AMPSA's current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Because AMPSA does not maintain, nor is it required to maintain, calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that any distributions generally will be reported to U.S. Holders as dividends. Any such dividends generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.

With respect to non-corporate U.S. holders, dividends will be taxed at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate (see "—Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of AMPSA Shares and AMPSA Warrants" below) if AMPSA Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States (which they will be if AMPSA shares are traded on the NYSE) and certain other requirements are met, including that AMPSA is not classified as a passive foreign investment company during the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year. There can be no assurance that AMPSA Shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in future years. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to AMPSA Shares.

As discussed in the section of this registration statement captioned "Material Luxembourg Tax Considerations", withholding taxes may be imposed under Luxembourg law upon dividends paid by AMPSA. Subject to certain conditions and limitations, withholding taxes on dividends paid by AMPSA

175

may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit or deduction against a U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability under the U.S. foreign tax credit rules. For purposes of calculating the U.S. foreign tax credit, dividends paid on AMPSA Shares will generally be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. The rules governing the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credit or deduction under their particular circumstances.

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of AMPSA Shares and AMPSA Warrants

Subject to the discussion below under "—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules," a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of AMPSA Securities in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition and (ii) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such securities. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a taxable disposition of AMPSA Securities generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder's holding period in such shares and/or warrants exceeds one year at the time of the disposition. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale or exchange of AMPSA Securities generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

Exercise or Lapse of an AMPSA Warrant

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below and except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of an AMPSA Warrant, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the exercise of an AMPSA Warrant for cash. A U.S. holder's tax basis in an AMPSA Share received upon exercise of the AMPSA Warrant generally should be an amount equal to the sum of (i) the U.S. holder's tax basis in the AMPSA Warrant exchanged therefor and (ii) the exercise price. The U.S. holder's holding period for an AMPSA Share received upon exercise of the AMPSA Warrant will begin on the date following the date of exercise (or possibly the date of exercise) of the AMPSA Warrant and will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the AMPSA Warrant. If an AMPSA Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder's tax basis in the AMPSA Warrant.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of an AMPSA Warrant are not clear under current U.S. federal income tax law. A cashless exercise may be tax-deferred, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either tax-deferred situation, a U.S. holder's basis in the AMPSA Shares received would equal the holder's basis in the AMPSA Warrants exercised therefor. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. holder's holding period for the AMPSA Shares would be treated as commencing on the date of exercise of the warrants or the day following the date of exercise of the warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the AMPSA Shares would include the holding period of the AMPSA Warrants exercised therefor.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise of an AMPSA Warrant could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. holder would recognize gain or loss with respect to the portion of the exercised AMPSA Warrants treated as surrendered to pay the exercise price of the AMPSA Warrants (the "surrendered warrants"). The U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the surrendered warrants in an amount generally equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the AMPSA Warrants deemed surrendered and (ii) the U.S. holder's tax basis in the surrendered warrants. In this case, a U.S. holder's tax basis in the AMPSA Shares received would equal the U.S. holder's tax basis in the AMPSA Warrants exercised (meaning, the AMPSA Warrants disposed of by the U.S. holder in the

176

cashless exercise, other than the surrendered warrants) and the exercise price of such AMPSA Warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. holder's holding period for the AMPSA Shares would commence on the date of exercise of the warrants or the day following the date of exercise of the warrants.

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise of warrants, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise of AMPSA Warrants.

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each AMPSA Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of AMPSA Shares for which the AMPSA Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the AMPSA Warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section of this registration statement captioned "Description of AMPSA's Securities." An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. A U.S. holder of a AMPSA Warrant would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from AMPSA if, for example, the adjustment increases the holder's proportionate interest in AMPSA's assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of AMPSA Shares that would be obtained upon exercise of such warrant) as a result of a distribution of cash to the holders of the AMPSA Shares which is taxable to the U.S. holders of such shares as described under "—Distributions on AMPSA Shares" above. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described under that section in the same manner as if the U.S. holder of such warrant received a cash distribution from AMPSA equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

The treatment of U.S. holders of the AMPSA Securities could be materially different from that described above if AMPSA is treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A PFIC is any non-U.S. corporation with respect to which either: (i) 75% or more of the gross income for a taxable year constitutes passive income for purposes of the PFIC rules, or (ii) 50% or more of such non-U.S. corporation's assets in any taxable year (generally based on the quarterly average of the value of its assets during such year) is attributable to assets, including cash, that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties and certain rents. The determination of whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC is based upon the composition of such non-U.S. corporation's income and assets (including, among others, its proportionate share of the income and assets of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the stock), and the nature of such non-U.S. corporation's activities. A separate determination must be made after the close of each taxable year as to whether a non-U.S. corporation was a PFIC for that year. Once a non-U.S. corporation qualifies as a PFIC it is, with respect to a shareholder during the time it qualifies as a PFIC, and subject to certain exceptions, always treated as a PFIC with respect to such shareholder, regardless of whether it satisfied either of the qualification tests in subsequent years.

Based on the projected composition of AMPSA's income and assets (including the income and assets of each subsidiary for which AMPSA owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of its stock following the Merger), AMPSA does not expect to be classified as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the date of the Merger or for any taxable year in the foreseeable future. However, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty as the composition of AMPSA's income and assets (including the income and assets of its applicable subsidiaries following the Merger) may change in the future and, therefore, no assurances can be provided that AMPSA will not be a PFIC for the taxable year that includes the date of the Merger or in a future year.

177

If AMPSA is or becomes a PFIC during any year in which a U.S. holder holds AMPSA Securities and such holder does not make a mark-to-market election, as described below, the U.S. holder will be subject to special tax rules with respect to (i) any gain realized on a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of its AMPSA Securities, and (ii) any "excess distributions" it receives on its AMPSA Shares (generally, any distributions in excess of 125% of the average of the annual distributions on AMPSA Shares during the preceding three years or the U.S. holder's holding period, whichever is shorter). Generally, under this excess distribution regime:

•
  the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the period during which the U.S. holder held its AMPSA Securities;
•
  the amount allocated to the current taxable year will be treated as ordinary income; and
•
  the amount allocated to prior taxable years will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for that taxable year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

In lieu of being subject to the special tax rules discussed above with regard to its AMPSA Shares, a U.S. holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to its AMPSA Shares. A U.S. holder may make a mark-to-market election if such shares are treated as "marketable stock." The AMPSA Shares generally will be treated as marketable stock if they are regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, including the NYSE, or on a qualified non-U.S. exchange or other market (within the meaning of the applicable Treasury regulations). Although the AMPSA Shares are expected to be listed on the NYSE, no assurance can be given that the AMPSA Shares will be "regularly traded" for purposes of the mark-to-market election. AMPSA does not intend to provide information necessary for U.S. holders to make a "qualified electing fund" election which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above.

If AMPSA is classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. holder of AMPSA Shares will be required to file an annual report on IRS Form 8621. Failure to file IRS Form 8621 for each applicable taxable year may result in substantial penalties and result in the U.S. holder's taxable years being open to audit by the IRS until such Forms are properly filed.

U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding AMPSA Securities in the event that AMPSA is considered a PFIC in any taxable year.

Additional Reporting Requirements

U.S. holders who are individuals and certain entities will be required to report information with respect to such U.S. holder's investment in "specified foreign financial assets" on IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets), subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for AMPSA Securities held in accounts maintained at certain financial institutions). An interest in AMPSA Securities constitutes a specified foreign financial asset for these purposes. Persons who are required to report specified foreign financial assets and fail to do so may be subject to substantial penalties and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes will be extended in the event of a failure to comply. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the foreign financial asset and other reporting obligations and their application to the ownership and disposition of AMPSA Securities.

Non-U.S. Holders

The section applies to you if you are a non-U.S. holder. For purposes of this discussion, a "non-U.S. holder" is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement characterized as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of GHV Securities or AMPSA

178

Securities that is not a U.S. holder, including a nonresident alien individual (other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States), a non-U.S. corporation, or a non-U.S. estate or trust.

This section generally does not apply to an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in a taxable year. A holder that is such an individual should consult its tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding GHV Securities or AMPSA Securities.

The Merger

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger to non-U.S. holders generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax consequences described under "—U.S. Holders—The Merger," above, except that Section 367(a) of the Code will not apply to any non-U.S. holder and, to the extent the Merger results in a taxable exchange of GHV Common Stock or GHV Warrants, the consequences for a non-U.S. holder of recognizing gain in such a taxable exchange would be the same as the consequences of recognizing gain on a sale or other disposition of AMPSA Securities described below under the heading "Non-U.S. Holders Generally."

Redemption of GHV Common Stock

The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a non-U.S. holder's GHV Common Stock pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the section of this registration statement captioned "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2021 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders—Redemption Rights", will generally correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. holder's GHV Common Stock, as described under "—U.S. Holders—Redemption of GHV Common Stock," above.

The consequences for a non-U.S. holder of recognizing gain in such a redemption would be the same as the consequences of recognizing gain on a sale or other disposition of AMPSA Securities described below under the heading "Non-U.S. Holders Generally."

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of stock under Section 302 of the Code, the portion of the redemption proceeds characterized as a distribution, which, to the extent of GHV's current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be subject to a U.S. federal withholding tax on the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless (i) such dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States, or (ii) such non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable). To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds GHV's current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such excess amount will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the non-U.S. holder's tax basis in its GHV Common Stock, and thereafter as gain realized, which will be treated the same as a sale or other disposition of AMPSA Securities described below under the heading "Non-U.S. Holders Generally." Dividends paid by GHV to a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (or if a tax treaty applies, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, the effectively connected income will be subject to regular U.S. income tax as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. A corporate non-U.S. holder receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate).

179

Non-U.S. Holders Generally

Assuming that AMPSA is not treated as a U.S. corporation under the rules discussed above under "—U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of AMPSA", a non-U.S. holder of AMPSA Shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or, subject to the discussion below under "—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding," U.S. federal withholding tax on any dividends (including constructive dividends) received on AMPSA Securities or any gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of AMPSA Securities (including, any distribution to the extent it exceeds the adjusted basis in the non-U.S. holder's AMPSA Shares) unless such dividend or gain (i) is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States.

Any such dividends and gains that are effectively connected with a non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. holder and, in the case of a corporate non-U.S. holder, also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a non-U.S. holder's exercise of an AMPSA Warrant, or the lapse of a AMPSA Warrant held by a non-U.S. holder, generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise or lapse of a warrant held by a U.S. holder, as described under "—U.S. Holders—Exercise or Lapse of a AMPSA Warrant," above, although to the extent a cashless exercise results in a taxable exchange, the consequences for a non-U.S. holder of recognizing gain in such a taxable exchange would be the same as the consequences of recognizing gain on a sale or other disposition of AMPSA Securities described in the preceding paragraphs above regarding a non-U.S. holder's sale or other disposition of AMPSA Securities.

FATCA

Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or "FATCA") impose a 30% withholding tax on payments of U.S.-source dividends (including a redemption of GHV Common Stock that is treated as a dividend), and subject to the discussion of certain proposed Treasury Regulations below, on the gross proceeds from a redemption treated as a sale, in each case if paid to "foreign financial institutions" (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). If FATCA withholding is imposed, certain non-U.S. holders generally will be able to obtain a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). Non-U.S. holders located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the possible implications of FATCA upon the redemption of their GHV Common Stock.

The IRS released proposed Treasury Regulations that, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate the U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% applicable to the gross proceeds of a redemption of GHV Securities that is treated as sale. In its preamble to such proposed Treasury Regulations, the IRS stated that taxpayers may generally rely on the proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

180

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries are subject to information reporting, and may be subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding generally will not apply, however, to a U.S. holder if (i) the U.S. holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding. A Non-U.S. holder generally will eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its non-U.S. status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and a holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

GHV STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL NO. 1—MERGER PROPOSAL

References in this section to "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "Gores" generally refer to GHV.

Overview

We are asking our stockholders to adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Merger. Our stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the subsection entitled "The Business Combination," "The Business Combination Agreement" and "Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination" for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger, the Business Combination Agreement and the Related Agreements. You are urged to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

We may consummate the Merger only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting.

Please see the section entitled "The Business Combination—Opinion of GHV's Financial Advisor."

Independent Director Oversight

The GHV Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with its Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group. In connection with the Business Combination, GHV's independent directors, Messrs. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea, took an active role in evaluating the proposed terms of the Business Combination, including the Business Combination Agreement and the Related Agreements. As part of their evaluation of the Business Combination, GHV's independent directors were aware of the potential conflicts of interest with its Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group, that could arise with regard to the proposed terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE. The GHV Board did not deem it necessary to, and did not form, a special committee of the Board to exclusively evaluate and negotiate the proposed terms of the Business Combination, as the Board is comprised of a majority of independent and disinterested directors and did not deem the formation of a special committee necessary or appropriate. GHV's independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

182

GHV's Board of Directors' Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

Please see the section entitled "The Business Combination—GHV's Board of Directors' Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination."

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under GHV's current certificate of incorporation and the Nasdaq listing requirements that the business or assets acquired in GHV's initial business combination have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination. As of February 22, 2021, the date of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the balance of the Trust Account was approximately $525,028,195 (excluding $18,375,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) and 80% thereof represents approximately $420,022,556. In reaching its conclusion that the Business Combination meets the 80% asset test, the GHV Board reviewed the enterprise value of AMPSA of approximately $8.5 billion implied on February 22, 2021 by adding: (i) approximately $4,850 million of equity consideration in the post-combination company to be issued to the AMPSA Shareholders; (ii) approximately $3,400 million of cash consideration payable to the AMPSA Shareholders; (iii) the assumption of approximately $134 million of AMPSA's existing net indebtedness; (iv) the payment of approximately $45 million of certain transaction costs; and (v) the retention of GHV Founder Shares by our Initial Stockholders valued at approximately $98 million (after giving effect to the cancellation of 3,281,250 such shares). In determining whether the enterprise value described above represents the fair market value of AMPSA, the GHV Board considered all of the factors described above in this section and the fact that the purchase price for AMPSA was the result of an arm's length negotiation. As a result, the GHV Board concluded that the fair market value of the business acquired was significantly in excess of 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account).

Potential Actions to Secure Requisite Stockholder Approvals

Please see the section entitled "The Business Combination—Potential Actions to Secure Requisite Stockholder Approvals."

Total Company Shares to be Issued in the Business Combination

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Merger, and assuming that no shares are elected to be redeemed: (i) the Public Stockholders (other than the Subscribers) will retain an ownership interest of approximately 8.6% in AMPSA; (ii) the Subscribers will own approximately 9.9% of AMPSA (such that Public Stockholders, including Subscribers, will own approximately 18.5% of AMPSA); (iii) the Initial Stockholders (including our Sponsor) will own approximately 1.6% of AMPSA; and (iv) AGSA will own approximately 79.9% of AMPSA.

183

The Subscribers have agreed to purchase in the aggregate approximately 60,000,000 shares of GHV Class A Common Stock, for approximately $600,000,000 of gross proceeds, in the PIPE (excluding the GHV Sponsor Backstop). In this proxy statement, we assume that approximately $600,000,000 of the gross proceeds from the PIPE, in addition to funds from the Trust Account (plus any interest accrued thereon), will remain on AMPSA's balance sheet to fund ongoing growth initiatives and the payment of certain transaction expenses. The ownership percentage with respect to AMPSA following the Merger (i) does not take into account warrants to purchase GHV Class A Common Stock that will be converted into AMPSA Warrants but (ii) does include GHV Founder Shares, which will be converted into shares of GHV Class A Common Stock at the closing of the Merger on a one-for-one basis. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by the Company's existing stockholders in AMPSA following the consummation of the Merger will be different. For more information, please see the sections entitled "Summary of the Proxy Statement—AMPSA's Public Float" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, holders of Public Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with our current certificate of incorporation. As of March 31, 2021, the redemption price would have been approximately $10.00 per share. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of our GHV Class A Common Stock for cash and will not own shares of AMPSA following the consummation of the Merger. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the Public Shares, together with any affiliate of his or her or any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from exercising redemption rights with respect to more than 20% of the shares of GHV Class A Common Stock included in the GHV Units sold in our IPO. Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of the 20% threshold beneficially owned by a Public Stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash.

We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under our current certificate of incorporation, other than the aforementioned 20% threshold. Each redemption of shares of GHV Class A Common Stock by our Public Stockholders will reduce the amount in our Trust Account, which

185

held cash and investment securities with a fair value of $525,033,518 as of March 31, 2021. In addition, in no event will we redeem shares of our GHV Class A Common Stock in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets exceeding $5,000,000. Please see the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2021 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders—Redemption Rights" for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal rights are not available to our stockholders in connection with the Merger.

Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

As the first step within the Business Combination, AGSA undertook the Pre-Closing Restructuring whereby AGSA effected a series of transactions that resulted in among other things, (a) the AMP Business being wholly owned by AMPSA and (b) any assets and liabilities relating to the business of AGSA (other than the AMP Business) that are held by the AMP Entities being transferred to subsidiaries of AGSA that are not the AMP Entities, and assets and liabilities relating to the AMP Business that are held by subsidiaries of AGSA (other than the AMP Entities) being transferred to the AMP Entities. These transactions are accounted for as a capital reorganization as, prior to the Pre-Closing Restructuring, AMPSA did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 (Business Combination). Under a capital reorganization, the consolidated financial statements of AMPSA reflect the net assets transferred at pre-combination predecessor book values. Following this first step, AMPSA continues to be a wholly owned subsidiary of AGSA.

The capital reorganization will be followed at closing by a Merger whereby MergeCo (a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA) will merge with and into GHV, with GHV being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA. This Merger transaction will be accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 (Share-based Payment). Under this method of accounting, there is no acquisition accounting and no recognition of goodwill, as GHV is not considered a business as defined by IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) given it consists predominantly of cash in the Trust Account. Under this method of accounting, GHV will be treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. In order to reach this conclusion, the following factors were also taken into consideration: (i) the business will comprise the ongoing operations of AMPSA; (ii) senior management will comprise the senior management of AMPSA; and (iii) the pre-Business Combination shareholders of AMPSA will have the largest ownership of AMPSA and the right to appoint the highest number of board members relative to other shareholders.

In accordance with IFRS 2, the difference in the fair value of the consideration (shares and warrants issued by AMPSA) for the acquisition of GHV over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of GHV will represent a service for listing of AMPSA and be accounted for as an expense for a share-based payment. The consideration for the acquisition of GHV was determined using the closing prices of GHV's publicly traded GHV Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols "GRSV" and "GRSVW" in addition to the calculated fair value, using a Black Scholes valuation, of Private Placement Warrants, each as of June 17, 2021.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a detailed discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences and Luxembourg tax consequences of the Business Combination, see the sections titled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Material Luxembourg Tax Considerations" in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Vote Required for Approval

The Merger is conditioned on the approval of the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting.

186

This Merger Proposal (and consequently, the Business Combination Agreement and the Merger) will be adopted and approved only if at least a majority of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting vote "FOR" the Merger Proposal. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Merger Proposal.

Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any shares of GHV Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Merger. As of the record date, our Sponsor, directors and officers own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock.

GHV STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL NO. 2—GOVERNANCE PROPOSAL

References in this section to "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "Gores" generally refer to GHV.

Overview

Our stockholders are also being asked to vote on a separate proposal with respect to certain provisions in AMPSA's articles of association because (i) the number of authorized shares under the AMPSA articles of association is greater than the number of authorized shares under GHV's current certificate of incorporation and (ii) the AMPSA articles of association include a compulsory share transfer provision, which are separately being presented in accordance with SEC guidance and which will be voted upon a non-binding advisory basis. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, MergeCo will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA. As such, AMPSA's Articles will govern the activities of the Company post-Business Combination. AMPSA's Articles, and the provisions described below, were specifically negotiated by AGSA and were essential to AGSA's and AMPSA's willingness to enter into the Business Combination Agreement. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these proposals, and assuming the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, AMPSA's Articles will be in effect at the Closing.

Proposal No. 2A: Change in Authorized Shares

Description of the Provision of AMPSA's Articles of Association

Under AMPSA's articles of association, the authorized share capital of AMPSA is set at one billion Euro (EUR 1,000,000,000), divided into one hundred billion (100,000,000,000) shares, with a par value of one Euro cent (EUR 0.01) each. Under our current certificate of incorporation, we authorized the Company to issue (a) 440,000,000 shares of GHV Common Stock, including (i) 400,000,000 shares of GHV Class A Common Stock and (ii) 40,000,000 shares of GHV Class F Common Stock, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 per share.

Reasons for the Provision of AMPSA's Articles of Association

The increase in the total number of authorized shares provides AMPSA post-Business Combination the adequate authorized capital to provide flexibility for the future issuance of AMPSA Shares if determined by the board of AMPSA post-Business Combination to be in the best interest of AMPSA, without the necessity of, or the delay imposed by the need to seek, further stockholder approval.

Proposal No. 2B: Compulsory Share Transfer

Description of the Provision of AMPSA's Articles of Association

AMPSA's articles of association include a provision that gives a holder of 75% of its outstanding shares the right to acquire the remaining AMPSA's Shares held by all other holders at such time for a purchase price payable in cash that is equal to the fair market value of such shares, as determined by an independent investment banking firm of international reputation, subject to certain additional procedures under the AMPSA articles of association, including a dispute resolution provision permitting holders of at least 10% of the shares of AMPSA to dispute the purchase price proposed by any acquiring shareholder. Upon completion of the Merger, AGSA will own approximately 80% of the outstanding AMPSA Shares and, as such, will have the right to initiate the compulsory share transfer as provided for in and in accordance with Article 13 of AMPSA's articles of association after the completion of the Merger. See "Description of AMPSA's Securities, ""Comparison of Stockholder Rights" and "Risk Factors." Under our current certificate of incorporation, no such provision exists.

188

Reasons for the Provision of AMPSA's Articles of Association

The compulsory share transfer provision in AMPSA's articles of association replicates a similar provision in AGSA's Articles, and is included in AMPSA's articles of association to permit a shareholder that owns 75% of AMPSA Shares to acquire (without the approval of AMPSA's board of directors or any additional shareholders) the remaining AMPSA Shares in accordance with, and subject to the protections for minority shareholders included in, that provision. This provision is included because, under Luxembourg law, such a transaction cannot otherwise be effected unless a person owns 95% of a Luxembourg company's outstanding voting shares and certain other requirements are satisfied. Under Delaware law, as a general matter, the holder of 90% of a Delaware corporation's voting shares can effect such a transaction without board of director or further stockholder approval.

GHV STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL NO. 3—THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

References in this section to "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "Gores" generally refer to GHV.

Overview

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow us to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our stockholders (A) in the event that any supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus that the Board has determined in good faith is required by applicable law to be disclosed to Company stockholders and so that such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Company stockholders prior to the Special Meeting, (B) in the event that, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of GHV Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Special Meeting or (C) in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Merger Proposal.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our stockholders, we may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Merger Proposal or any other proposal.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Adjournment Proposal will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

INFORMATION ABOUT AMPSA

References in this section to "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "AMPSA" generally refer to AMPSA and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Ardagh Group

Ardagh Group operates as a global supplier of metal and glass packaging for the world's leading brands. As of December 31, 2020, Ardagh Group operated 56 production facilities in 12 countries across three continents, employing over 16,000 people. Prior to Closing, pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, AGSA effected a series of transactions that resulted in the subsidiaries of AGSA that are engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling metal beverage cans and ends and providing related technical and customer services being wholly owned by AMPSA.

In 2016, Ardagh Group completed the acquisition of the AMP Business for total consideration of $3.0 billion, comprising 22 beverage can production facilities in Europe, North America and Brazil which, on a combined basis, we believe established the third largest beverage can business globally.

Since 2016, Ardagh Group has expanded the beverage can business organically through strategic investments in new capacity to support our customers' growth, including a new beverage can ends facility in Manaus, Brazil, completed in 2018 and the addition of new production lines. In addition, the end use category mix of the beverage can business has been diversified through growing our presence in faster growing beverage categories.

As a leading supplier of sustainable, innovative, value added rigid packaging solutions, Ardagh Group's products have historically included metal beverage cans and glass containers, primarily for end use categories including beer, food, wine, spirits, carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, juices and sparkling waters. Ardagh Group's customers include a wide variety of leading consumer product companies, with over 1,500 customers across more than 90 countries, as of December 31, 2020. In its target regions of Europe, North America and Brazil, Ardagh Group's customers include a wide variety of consumer-packaged goods companies owning some of the best known brands in the world.

AMPSA

We are one of the leading suppliers of consumer metal beverage cans in the world and believe that we hold the #2 or #3 market positions in Europe, the United States and Brazil. The global beverage can industry is a large, consumer-driven industry with attractive growth characteristics. Our end-use categories include beer, carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, hard seltzers, juices, pre-mixed cocktails, teas, sparkling waters and wine. Our customers include a wide variety of leading beverage producers, which value our packaging products for their convenience and quality, as well as the end-user appeal they offer through design, innovation and brand promotion. With our significant invested capital base, supported by consistent levels of re-investment, our extensive technical capabilities and manufacturing know-how, we believe we are well-positioned to continue to meet the dynamic needs of our global customers.

Within the $117 billion global metal packaging industry, the metal can packaging market is comprised of beverage cans (50%), food cans (28%), aerosol cans (5%) and other cans (17%), according to an October 2020 report from Smithers Pira, a leading independent market research firm with extensive specialized experience in the packaging, paper and print industries. We compete in the beverage can sector of the consumer metal packaging industry. We estimate the beverage can sector revenues to be approximately $33 billion based on sales as of 2019 with more than 360 billion beverage cans produced globally. Because the consumer metal beverage packaging industry primarily supplies

191

packaging for food, drinks and other basic needs, it is considered to be a relatively stable market sector that is less sensitive to economic cycles than many other industries.

We serve over 200 customers across more than 40 countries, comprised of multi-national companies and large national and regional companies. In our target regions of Europe, North America and Brazil, our customers include a wide variety of companies owning some of the best-known beverage brands in the world. We have a stable customer base with long-standing relationships and approximately three-quarters of our sales are generated under multi-year contracts, with the remainder largely subject to annual arrangements. A significant portion of our sales volumes are supplied under contracts which include input cost pass-through provisions, which help us deliver generally consistent margins.

We operate 23 production facilities in 9 countries and employ approximately 4,900 personnel. Our plants are generally well located to serve our customers' filling locations. Certain facilities may also be dedicated to specific end-use categories, enhancing product-specific expertise and generating benefits of scale and production efficiency. Significant capital has been invested in our extensive network of long-lived production facilities, which, together with our skilled workforce and related manufacturing process know-how, supports our competitive positions.

We are committed to market-leading innovation and product development and maintain dedicated innovation, development and engineering centers in the United States and Europe to support these efforts. These facilities focus on three main areas: (i) innovations that provide enhanced product design, differentiation and user friendliness for our customers and end-use consumers; (ii) innovations that reduce input costs to generate cost savings for both our customers and us (downgauging); and (iii) developments to meet evolving product safety standards and regulations.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $3,451 million. Adjusted EBITDA and net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $545 million and $334 million, respectively.

The following charts illustrate the breakdown of total revenue of our two operating and reportable segments, Europe and Americas, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

Sustainability

Sustainability is a core pillar of our business, recognizing that long-term economic viability is dependent upon having a sustainable business model.

Our sustainability focus is centered on minimizing the impact of our operations and products on the environment, promoting a healthy, safe and inclusive workplace for our employees and contributing positively to the communities in which we operate. Upon consummation of the Merger, we will have a Sustainability Committee to oversee our sustainability initiatives, supported by our sustainability function.

192

In pursuance of our environmental objective we seek to promote recycling of our products, enhance our product design and target continuous improvement in our processes. Metal is infinitely recyclable, without any degradation in quality, differentiating it from many other packaging substrates. We expect these attributes to continue to enhance our products' appeal, as consumer awareness of sustainability and the environment grows.

Recycling rates for aluminum beverage cans are relatively high in the geographies in which we operate, estimated at 56% in the United States, 76% in Europe and 98% in Brazil as of 2018-2019. The use of recycled aluminum reduces energy consumption by over 90% compared with the alternative of producing aluminum cans from its virgin source.

We continuously aim to reduce the material and resource usage in the manufacturing of our products through lightweighting of our metal beverage cans. In addition, we have established specialist groups across our business and promote best practice sharing, in order to drive continuous improvement in our processes.

In 2020, Ardagh Group revised its sustainability strategy and set new targets, which apply to our business, including a 27% reduction in Ardagh Group's carbon emissions by 2030. These targets will be achieved through a wide range of initiatives, including (i) greater usage of renewable energy, including the installation of solar projects in multiple production facilities, (ii) promoting the use of recycled content, (iii) pursuing energy-efficiency projects across Ardagh Group's plant network, (iv) procuring electricity from renewable sources (v) sourcing sustainable inputs from Ardagh Group's supplier base and (vi) minimizing VOC and NOx emissions.

Ardagh Group has committed to adopt science-based sustainability targets through the Science-Based Targets initiative, which also apply to our business, whereby Ardagh Group will set specific goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with the Paris Agreement 2015, under which governments mutually pledged to limit the increase in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Ardagh Group is a signatory to the United National Global Compact, and its strategy is linked to specific development goals, including Affordable and Clean Energy (Sustainable Development Goal #7), Responsible Consumption and Production (#12), Climate Action (#13), Partnerships for the Goals (#17), Good Health and Wellbeing (#3), Quality Education (#4) and Gender Equality (#5).

Ardagh Group has been awarded Leadership Class ratings by CDP (formally the Carbon Disclosure Project), gaining an A- with respect to climate change and an A- with respect to water management.

We aim to ensure a safe and healthy workplace for all of our employees by embedding a culture of safety awareness. Broad principles are supported by detailed policies and procedures to minimize accidents and injuries through continuous training and education. We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace and are establishing diversity and inclusion councils across our business units.

We are a significant local employer and seek to play a positive role in our communities. This can involve promoting educational linkages with the community, through internships and apprenticeships, engaging with schools in relation to environmental awareness and recycling, and by promoting and supporting initiatives to help local charities and good causes.

Our Competitive Strengths

•
  Leader in Metal Beverage Packaging. We believe we are one of the leading suppliers of metal beverage can packaging solutions, capable of supplying multi-national, national and regional beverage producers in our target markets. We believe that we are the #2 supplier of metal beverage cans by value in Europe. In addition, we believe that we are the #3 supplier of metal

193

beverage cans by value in each of the United States and Brazil. We believe the combination of our extensive footprint, proximity to customers, efficient manufacturing and high level of customer service underpins our leading positions.

•
  Long-term relationships with diverse blue-chip customer base. We supply some of the world's best-known beverage brands with sustainable, innovative packaging solutions and have been recognized with numerous industry awards. We have longstanding relationships with many of our major customers, which include leading multinational, national and regional beverage companies. Some of our major customers include AB InBev, Britvic, Coca-Cola, Diageo, Heineken, Mark Anthony Brands, Monster Beverage, National Beverage Company, PepsiCo and Grupo Petrópolis, among others. In recent years, in North America in particular, we have significantly diversified our customer base by growing our business with customers in faster-growing end-use categories, including hard seltzers, sparkling waters, energy drinks and other beverages, as well as by adding new customers.
•
  Focus on stable economies and generally growing product demand. We derive over 89% of our revenues from Europe and North America, which are mature economies characterized by generally predictable consumer spending and relatively low cyclicality, with the balance largely derived from the Brazil beverage market. Our revenues are entirely generated from beverage end-use categories, including beer, carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, hard seltzers, juices, sparkling waters, teas and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, demand for which is generally less impacted by economic cycles. In Europe, North America and Brazil, demand for metal beverage cans has accelerated in recent years, principally driven by new beverage product innovations, increased awareness by consumers of sustainability and, notably in Brazil, structural pack mix shifts by our customers. For our customers, beverage cans are more efficient to fill and easier to transport and store than other substrates. These advantages, together with beverage cans' high level of recyclability, combine to provide our customers the lowest total cost of ownership.
•
  Highly contracted revenue base. Over 80% of our revenue is backed by multi-year supply agreements, ranging from two to seven years in duration, with the remainder largely pursuant to annual arrangements. A significant proportion of our sales volumes are supplied under contracts which include mechanisms that help to protect us from earnings volatility related to input costs, including aluminum and energy. Specifically, such arrangements include (i) multi-year contracts that include input cost pass-through and/or margin maintenance provisions and (ii) one-year contracts that allow us to negotiate pricing levels for our products on an annual basis at the same time that we determine our input costs for the relevant year.
•
  Well-invested asset base with significant scale and operational excellence. We operate 23 strategically-located production facilities in 9 countries, enabling us to efficiently serve our customers with high quality and innovative products and services across multiple geographies. We pursue continuous improvement in our facilities and promote a culture of consistently pursuing excellence through standardizing and sharing best practices across our network of plants. We believe the total value proposition we offer our customers, in the form of geographic reach, customer service, product quality, reliability, design and innovation will enable us to continue to drive growth and profitability.
•
  Significant and growing specialty can capacity. We have a significant presence in the specialty can segment, which our industry defines as all cans other than 12-ounce 211 diameter cans in the Americas, and all cans other than 330ml and 500ml 211 diameter cans in Europe. Specialty cans include slim cans, sleek cans and cans of a standard diameter but special height. The specialty can segment has grown at a faster rate than the standard can segment in recent years and typically offers more attractive margins. In 2020, specialty cans represented 43% of our total can

194

shipments, with strong representation in both the Europe and Americas segments. Specialty can expansion represents over 80% of the capacity expansion under the $1.8 billion business growth investment program, following which we expect specialty cans will represent approximately 55% to 60% of our total capacity.

•
  Attractive presence in faster-growing end-use categories. Different beverage categories are experiencing varying rates of growth in the markets we serve. We have targeted growth in faster growing end-use categories of the beverage markets we serve, including hard seltzers and sparkling waters in North America and beer in Europe and in Brazil, while reducing our exposure to other end-use categories. We believe the mix of end-use categories we serve positions us well to continue to grow our business over the medium term.
•
  Infinitely recyclable products respond to growing sustainability awareness. Metal beverage cans are infinitely recyclable without loss of quality. We estimate recycling rates to be at 76% in Europe, 56% in the United States and 98% in Brazil as of 2018-2019. We believe that an increasing awareness of the benefits of sustainable packaging in many of our markets will favor pack mix shifts to metal beverage cans in the future. We also believe that legislative and other measures designed to increase recycling rates will favor our substrates in the future.
•
  Technical leadership and innovation. We have advanced technical and manufacturing capabilities in metal beverage packaging, including research and development and engineering centers in the United States and Europe, principally based in Elk Grove, Illinois, and Bonn, Germany. Our capabilities have enabled us to develop product and process innovations to meet the dynamic needs of our customers. We have significant expertise in the production of value-added metal beverage cans, principally aluminum, with features such as high-quality graphic designs, colored tabs and tactile finishes. We produce metal beverage cans in a range of sizes and have been a leader in the introduction of lighter aluminum cans.
•
  Proven track record of generating attractive returns through organic expansion, strategic investment and continuous improvement. Ardagh Group has grown its business since acquisition in 2016, through a combination of organic expansion, strategic investment and continuous improvement. Ardagh Group has increased its exposure to faster growing categories of the beverage market, as well as diversifying its customer base, notably in North America, thereby improving its mix. Ardagh Group has also made strategic investments, including the construction of its ends plant in Manaus, Brazil, in 2018 which allowed it to become self-sufficient for ends supply in that market, as well as converting its Rugby, UK, facility from steel to aluminum beverage cans. In addition, Ardagh Group has focused on continuous improvement across its businesses to optimize costs and drive efficiencies. We expect our principal focus to be on growth through organic expansion and strategic development and investment with new and existing customers, including through the announced business growth investment program. We believe that we can maintain and grow attractive margins through business mix optimization, growth with new and existing customers, efficiency gains, cost reduction, working capital optimization and disciplined capital allocation.
•
  Experienced management team with a proven track record and high degree of shareholder alignment. Members of our management team with extensive experience in the metal beverage packaging industry have demonstrated their ability to manage costs, adapt to changing market conditions, undertake strategic investments and acquire and integrate new businesses, thereby driving significant value creation. Our Chairman has a high degree of indirect ownership in our Company, as a company owned by him owns approximately 25% of the ordinary share capital of ARD Holdings S.A., the ultimate parent company of AGSA. In addition, through its non-controlling interest in the Yeoman group of companies, that company has an interest in a further approximate 34% of the ordinary shares of ARD Holdings S.A. We believe this ownership

195

promotes efficient capital allocation decisions and results in strong shareholder alignment and commitment to further shareholder value creation.

Our Business Strategy

Our principal objective is to increase long-term shareholder value by achieving growth in Adjusted EBITDA and cash generation. We aim to achieve this objective through organically growing our business, but will also evaluate other acquisitions and strategic opportunities to enhance shareholder value. We plan to pursue these objectives through the following strategies:

•
  Grow Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow. We seek to leverage our extensive footprint, proximity to customers, efficient manufacturing and high level of customer service to grow revenue with new and existing customers, improve our productivity, and reduce our costs. To increase Adjusted EBITDA, we will take actions with respect to our assets and invest in business growth opportunities, in line with our stringent investment criteria. To increase cash generation, we actively manage our working capital and capital expenditures. Ardagh Group announced a business growth investment program that will see $1.8 billion invested in our business in the period from 2021 to 2024, the implementation of which is expected to grow our revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow generation.
•
  Continue to enhance product mix and profitability. We have enhanced our product mix over the years by replacing lower margin business with higher margin business and by pursuing growth opportunities in new and emerging end-use categories of the beverage markets. We will continue to develop long-term partnerships with existing and new customers, including new and emerging growth customers, and selectively pursue such opportunities that will grow our business and improve our overall profitability. We are investing in significantly growing our specialty can mix and our investments will be supported by long-term customer contracts and commitments.
•
  Emphasize operational excellence and optimize manufacturing base. In managing our businesses, we seek to improve our efficiency, control our costs and preserve and expand our margins. We aim to consistently reduce total costs through implementing operational efficiencies, promoting continuous improvement and investing to enhance our production capacity. We will continue to take actions to enhance efficiency through continuous improvement, best practice sharing and investment, enabling us to serve our existing and new customers' exacting requirements for sustainable packaging.
•
  Enhance our environmental and social sustainability impact. We will continue to improve the sustainability profile of our business. In 2020, Ardagh Group updated its sustainability targets, which apply to our business, including a 27% reduction in Ardagh Group's carbon emissions by 2030, in addition to committing to adoption of science-based targets through the Science-Based Targets initiative, both of which apply to our business. We seek to ensure that we meet the evolving requirements of end consumers and our customers, while creating a safe and inclusive environment for our employees, contributing positively to the communities in which we operate, improving our efficiency, controlling our costs and preserving and expanding our margins, while at the same time growing our revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow generation.
•
  Evaluate and pursue strategic opportunities. We are a leading player in the beverage can sector in Europe, North America and Brazil, all of which are markets where beverage can demand is projected to grow. Our principal near and medium term focus is to organically grow our business through the implementation of the business growth investment program from 2021-2024 to support our customers' growth in each region. We may also evaluate and pursue other strategic opportunities, to grow with existing or new customers, including in new markets that offer attractive risk-adjusted returns, in line with our stringent investment criteria and focus on enhancing shareholder value.

Industry Overview

We operate in the beverage can segment of the consumer metal packaging industry.

The beverage can sector is growing in each of Europe, North America and Brazil. In each of these markets demand for metal beverage cans has accelerated in recent years, principally driven by new beverage product innovations, increased awareness by consumers of sustainability and, notably in Brazil pack mix shifts. In addition, the convenience of filling, transporting and stocking beverage cans, compared with alternative substrates are believed to be contributing to this growth. Growth in unit volumes of specialty beverage cans has exceeded growth in standard beverage cans, thereby increasing specialty can penetration, a trend that is expected to continue.

We believe the purchasing decisions of retail consumers are significantly influenced by packaging. Consumer product manufacturers and marketers are increasingly using packaging to position their products in the market and differentiate them from alternative products. A growing awareness of sustainability issues among consumers, as well as potential regulatory or legislative changes in this area, are also expected to influence future packaging decisions by consumer product manufacturers. The development and production of premium, differentiated packaging products with additional value-added features require a higher level of design capabilities, manufacturing and process know-how and quality control than for more standardized products.

Customers

We operate production facilities in Europe, the United States and Brazil, and we sell metal beverage cans to multinational, regional and national customers in these regions. We supply leading manufacturers in each of the markets it serves, including AB InBev, Britvic, Coca-Cola, Diageo, Heineken, Mark Anthony Brands, Monster Beverage, National Beverage Company, PepsiCo and Grupo Petrópolis, among others.

The top ten AMPSA customers represented approximately 64% of our revenue in 2020. We estimate that over 80% of our revenue is backed by multi-year supply agreements, ranging from two to seven years in duration. These contracts generally provide for the pass-through of metal price fluctuations and, in most cases, most of variable cost movements, while others have tolling arrangements whereby customers arrange for the procurement of metal themselves. In addition, within multi-year relationships, both parties can work together to streamline the product, service and supply process, leading to significant cost reductions and improvements in product and service, with benefits arising to both parties. Wherever possible, we seek to enter into multi-year supply agreements with customers. In other cases, sales are made under commercial supply agreements, typically of one-year's duration, with prices based on expected purchase volumes.

Competitors

Our principal competitors include Ball Corporation, Crown Holdings, and Can Pack.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

The principal raw materials used in our business are aluminum, steel, coatings and lining compounds. Over 95% of our metal raw material spend in 2020 related to aluminum. Our major aluminum suppliers include Constellium, Hydro, Novelis and Tri-Arrows.

We continuously seek to minimize the price of raw materials and reduce our exposure to price movements in a number of ways, including the following:

•
  harnessing the scale of our global metal purchasing requirements, to achieve better raw materials pricing;

197

•
  entering into variable-priced pass-through contracts with customers, whereby selling prices are indexed to the price of the underlying raw materials;
•
  maintaining our focus on metal content reduction;
•
  continuing the process of reducing spoilage and waste in manufacturing;
•
  rationalizing the number of both specifications and suppliers; and
•
  hedging the price of aluminum ingot and the related euro/U.S. dollar exposure.

Aluminum is typically purchased under three-year contracts, with prices that are fixed in advance. Despite an increase in the level of aluminum production being targeted to new end-use applications, including automotive and aerospace, we believe that adequate quantities of the relevant grades of packaging aluminum will continue to be available from various producers and that we are not overly dependent upon any single supplier. Some of our aluminum requirements are subject to tolling arrangements with our customers, whereby risk and responsibility for the procurement of aluminum is managed by the customer.

Distribution

We use various freight and haulage contractors to make deliveries to customer sites or warehousing facilities. In some cases, customers make their own delivery arrangements and therefore may purchase from us on an ex-works basis. Warehousing facilities are primarily situated at our manufacturing facilities; however, in some regions, networks of externally-rented warehouses at strategic third-party locations, close to major customers' filling operations are used.

Innovation, Engineering and Development

The majority of our innovation, development and engineering activities are concentrated at our regional technical center in Elk Grove, Illinois and at our research facility in Bonn, Germany. These centers focus on identifying and serving the existing and potential needs of customers, including the achievement of cost reductions, particularly metal content reduction, and meeting new and anticipated legislative requirements, as well as providing technology, engineering and support services to our production facilities and customers.

We currently hold and maintain a number of patent families, filed in several jurisdictions and covering a range of different products.

Manufacturing and Production

As of December 31, 2020, we operated 23 production facilities in 9 countries. Our plants are currently located in 7 European countries, as well as in Brazil and the United States.

198

The following table summarizes our principal production facilities as of December 31, 2020.

Location |  | Number of Production Facilities |
--- | --- | --- | ---
United States(1) |  |  | 8 |
Germany |  |  | 4 |
Brazil |  |  | 3 |

(1)
  In December 2020, we acquired a facility in Huron, Ohio, which is under development but not yet in operation. This facility is not reflected in the number of production facilities above.
(2)
  One facility in each of Austria, France, The Netherlands, Poland and Spain.

Employees

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately 4,900 employees, of which approximately 2,900 were located in Europe, approximately 1,300 were located in the United States and approximately 700 employees were located in Brazil.

We strive to maintain a safe working environment for all of our employees, with safety in the workplace being a key objective, measured through individual accident reports, detailed follow-up programs and key performance indicator reporting. We believe that our safety record is among the best in the industry.

The majority of our employees are members of labor unions or are subject to centrally negotiated collective agreements. We generally negotiate national contracts with our unions, with variations agreed at the local plant level. Most such labor contracts have a duration of one to two years. Our management believes that, overall, our current relations with our employees are good.

For the employees of our subsidiaries located in countries of the European Union, Ardagh Group has established a European Works Council ("EWC") in compliance with EU directives. The EWC acts as a communications conduit and consultative body between our EU subsidiaries and our employees. All the elected EWC country employee representatives meet at least once a year and senior management attends an annual EWC Forum meeting.

The EWC has the right to be notified of any special circumstances that would have a major impact on the interests of employees. In order to facilitate this process in an efficient and effective way, the EWC has elected a Select Committee which meets at least 4 times a year with a senior management delegation to discuss any matters which are of interest for the EWC.

EWC delegates are elected for four-year terms on the basis of legal principles or practices in the relevant countries, while the allocation of EWC delegates between countries is governed by EU directives.

Environmental, Health and Safety and Product Safety Regulations

AMPSA's operations and properties are regulated under a wide range of laws, ordinances and regulations and other legal requirements concerning the environment, health and safety and product safety in each jurisdiction in which we operate. We believe that our manufacturing facilities are in compliance, in all material respects, with these laws and regulations.

199

The principal environmental issues facing AMPSA include the environmental impact of the disposal of water used in AMPSA's production processes, generation and disposal of waste, the receiving, use and storage of hazardous and non-hazardous materials, the potential contamination and subsequent remediation of land, surface water and groundwater arising from AMPSA's operations and the impact on air quality through gas and particle emissions, including the emission of greenhouse gases.

Our substantial operations in the EU are subject to, among additional requirements, the requirements of the EU Industrial Emissions Directive ("IED") which requires that operators of industrial installations, including can making installations, take into account the whole environmental performance of the installation and obtain and maintain compliance with a permit, which sets emission limit values that are based on best available techniques.

Furthermore, the EU Directive on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage aims to make those who cause damage to the environment (specifically damage to habitats and species protected by EU law, damage to water resources and land contamination which presents a threat to human health) financially responsible for its remediation. It requires operators of industrial premises (including those which hold a permit governed by the IED) to take preventive measures to avoid environmental damage, inform the regulators when such damage has or may occur and to remediate contamination.

Our U.S. operations are also subject to stringent and complex U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the discharge of materials into the environment, health and safety and product safety including, but not limited to: the U.S. federal Clean Air Act, the U.S. federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, the U.S. federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"). These laws and regulations may, among other things (i) require obtaining permits to conduct industrial operations; (ii) restrict the types and quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment; (iii) result in the suspension or revocation of necessary permits, licenses and authorizations; (iv) require that additional pollution controls be installed and (v) require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former and ongoing operations, including related natural resource damages. Specifically, certain U.S. environmental laws, such as CERCLA, or Superfund, and analogous state laws, provide for strict, and under certain circumstances, joint and several liability for the investigation and remediation of releases or the disposal of regulated materials into the environment including soil and groundwater, as well as for damages to natural resources.

In North America, sales of beverage cans are affected by governmental regulation of packaging, including deposit return laws. As of January 1, 2019, there were ten U.S. states with container deposit laws in effect, requiring consumer deposits of between 5 and 15 cents (USD), depending on the size of the container or product. In Canada, there are 10 provinces and three territories. Deposit laws cover some form of beverage container in all provinces and territories except the territory of Nunavut, which does not have a deposit program. The range for deposits are between 5 and 40 cents (Canadian Dollar), depending on size of container and type of beverage.

A wider roll out of packaging deposit return systems in Europe, such as that proposed in Scotland from July 2022, can lead to cost increases for collection and recycling of beverage cans and therefore potentially have impacts on the packaging material mix at retailers.

Many beverages and containers, particularly new product innovations and unique alcohol beverage products, are not clearly defined in U.S. and Canadian deposit laws. The text of some U.S. and Canadian deposit laws expressly exempts certain beverages or containers from application of the deposit laws. In many states, certain common beverage categories are simply not found in the text of the deposit law. Local agencies provide final decisions on the application of deposit laws. Many states

200

are defining their own beverage categories with local agencies providing final decisions on the application of deposit laws.

We are also committed to ensuring that safe operating practices are established, implemented and maintained throughout our organization. In addition, we have instituted active health and safety programs throughout our business. See the section entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to AMPSA—AMPSA is subject to various environmental and other legal requirements and may be subject to new requirements of this kind in the future that could impose substantial costs upon AMPSA."

Legal Proceedings

AMPSA is involved from time to time in various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, such as employee claims, disputes with its suppliers, environmental liability claims and intellectual property disputes. We believe that none of these proceedings, either individually or in aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

History and Development

Ardagh Group traces its origins back to 1932 in Dublin, Ireland, when the Irish Glass Bottle Company was founded and listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. Ardagh Group operated a single glass plant in Dublin, largely serving the domestic beverage and food customer base until 1998, when Yeoman International, led by the current Ardagh Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and major shareholder, Paul Coulson, took an initial stake in Ardagh, becoming Chairman later that year.

Since 1999, Ardagh Group has played a major role in the consolidation of the global metal and glass packaging industries, completing 23 acquisitions and significantly increasing its scope, scale, and geographic presence.

AMPSA was incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on January 20, 2021 as a public limited liability company (société anonyme) having its registered office at 56, rue Charles Martel, L-2134 Luxembourg, Luxembourg and registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce and Companies (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés de Luxembourg) under number B 251465. AMPSA currently operates 23 production facilities globally, located in Europe (12), North America (8) and Brazil (3). These comprise 19 facilities producing beverage cans and four facilities producing can ends. The history and development of AMPSA's production facility footprint has been as follows:

•
  In June 2016, Ardagh Group acquired the assets required to be divested by Ball Corporation and Rexam PLC to gain approval for the acquisition of Rexam PLC by Ball Corporation. The divested assets comprised 22 production facilities, located in Europe (12), North America (8) and Brazil (2).
•
  The twelve production facilities acquired by Ardagh Group in Europe comprised ten former Ball Corporation plants, as well as two former Rexam PLC production facilities. Ball Corporation had established and grown its presence in Europe, principally through the acquisition of Schmalbach-Lubeca in 2008, at the time the second largest manufacturer of beverage cans in Europe. Rexam PLC had established and grown its beverage can business in Europe through the acquisitions of PLM, AB, a Swedish-listed beverage can and glass bottle manufacturer, acquired in 1999, and American National Can Corporation, acquired in 2000, as well as organic investments in new capacity. The eight production facilities acquired in North America represented part of the former Rexam PLC business. Finally, the two production facilities in Brazil were formerly owned by Latapack-Ball, a joint venture in which Ball Corporation had held an approximately 60% stake. In December 2015, Ball Corporation acquired full ownership of this joint venture, prior to divesting these two production facilities.

201

•
  In 2018, the construction of a greenfield production facility in Manaus, Brazil was completed, which supplies can ends to our can production facilities in Jacarei, Brazil and Alagoinhas, Brazil.
•
  In October 2020, Ardagh Group announced a $1.8 billion business growth investment program to grow the Metal Beverage Packaging ($1.5 billion) and Glass Packaging business. In February 2021, Ardagh Group announced its decision to undertake additional investments increasing its total investment in the business growth investment program to $2.1 billion, with a total $1.8 billion investment to grow the Metal Beverage Packaging business in the period from 2021 to 2024.
•
  In December 2020, Ardagh Group acquired a large brownfield and building site in Huron, Ohio, which it intends to convert into a new beverage can and ends plant, commencing production in late 2021.

The SEC maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, information statements and other information regarding registrants like us that file electronically with the SEC.

Following Closing, we will routinely post important information on the AMPSA website at https://www.ardaghmetalpackaging.com/corporate/investors. This website and the information contained therein or connected thereto shall not be deemed to be incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Compensation of AMPSA Key Management and Directors

AMPSA was formed on January 20, 2021 and did not have any key management or directors prior to formation. The aggregate amount of compensation our key management (including directors) received from Ardagh Group S.A. for service to manage the AMP Business for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $3.2 million, and no amount was set aside or accrued to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits to these individuals in this capacity. See note 22(i) of the Combined Financial Statements for additional details of key management compensation.

AMPSA will establish a compensation program for our non-employee directors. In 2021, the aggregate amount of our non-employee directors' compensation is expected to be approximately $1.6

205

million, in the form of a cash retainer for the performance of duties as a director. The non-employee directors' compensation program is expected to allow each non-employee director the opportunity to elect to receive AMPSA Shares in lieu of a portion of the annual cash retainer payable to the non-employee director under the program. We also will reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as directors, including, without limitation, travel expenses in connection with their attendance in-person at board of directors and committee meetings. Directors who are employees do not receive any compensation for their services as directors.

Controlled Company

AMPSA will apply for the AMPSA Shares to be listed on NYSE. Under NYSE's current listing standards, AMPSA will qualify for and avail of certain of the controlled company exemptions under the corporate governance rules of NYSE. As a controlled company, we will not be required to have (1) a majority of "independent directors" on our board of directors, as defined under the rules of NYSE, (2) a compensation committee and a nominating and governance committee composed entirely of "independent directors" or (3) an annual performance evaluation of the compensation and nominating and governance committees.

Board of Directors

Composition of Our Board of Directors

Our board of directors currently consists of 9 members. After the Merger, our board of directors will consist of 11 members. Our board of directors consists of such number of directors as the general meeting of shareholders may from time to time determine, provided that the board of directors is composed at all times of no fewer than three (3) directors and no more than fifteen (15) directors.

Election of Directors

The holders of the shares have the right to elect the board of directors at a general meeting of shareholders by a simple majority of the votes validly cast. The existing directors have the right to appoint persons to fill vacancies, which persons may hold office until the following annual general meeting.

Service Contracts of Directors

There are no service contracts between us and any of our current non-employee directors providing for benefits upon termination of their service. For a discussion of compensation, including post-termination benefits, of employee directors, see the section entitled "Management of AMPSA—Compensation of AMPSA Key Management and Directors" above.

Board of Directors Powers and Functions

The board of directors has the power to take any action necessary or useful to realize the corporate objects of the Company, with the exception of the powers reserved by Luxembourg law or by AMPSA's articles of association to the general meeting of shareholders. Directors must act with diligence and in good faith in performing their duties and in the corporate interest of the company. The expected behavior of a director is that of a normally prudent person, in a like position, having the benefit, when making such a decision, of the same knowledge and information as the directors having made the decision.

206

Board of Directors Meetings and Decisions

We expect that all of the resolutions of the board of directors will be adopted by a simple majority of votes cast in a meeting at which a quorum is present. A member of the board of directors may authorize another member of the board of directors to represent him/her at the board meeting and to vote on his/her behalf at the meeting.

Our board of directors meets as often as it deems necessary to conduct the business of the Company.

Experience of Directors

We believe that the composition of the board of directors, which will include a broad spread of nationalities, backgrounds and expertise, will provide the breadth and depth of skills, knowledge and experience that are required to effectively lead an internationally diverse business with interests spanning three continents and nine individual countries.

We believe our independent non-executive directors have broad-based international business expertise and will have gained significant and relevant industry specific expertise over a number of years. The composition of the board of directors will reflect the need to maintain a balance of skills, knowledge and experience.

The independent non-executive directors will use their broad-based skills, diverse range of business and financial experiences and international backgrounds in reviewing and assessing any opportunities or challenges facing the Company and will play an important role in developing the Company's strategy and scrutinizing the performance of management in meeting the Company's goals and objectives.

We expect our board members collectively to have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to effectively oversee the management of the Company, including a high degree of personal and professional integrity, an ability to exercise sound business judgment on a broad range of issues, sufficient experience and background to have an appreciation of the issues facing the Company, a willingness to devote the necessary time to board duties, a commitment to representing the best interests of the Company and a dedication to enhancing shareholder value.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Upon consummation of the Merger, our board of directors will have six standing committees: an executive committee, an audit committee, a compensation committee, a nominating and governance committee, a finance committee and a sustainability committee. The members of each committee will be appointed by the board of directors and will serve until their successors are elected and qualified, unless they are earlier removed or resign. Each committee will report to the board of directors as it deems appropriate and as the board may request. The composition, duties and responsibilities of the six standing committees are set forth below. In the future, our board of directors may establish other committees, as it deems appropriate, to assist it with its responsibilities.

Executive Committee

Upon consummation of the Merger, the board of directors will establish an executive committee that oversees the management of the business and affairs of the Company.

Each of the audit committee members meet the financial literacy requirements of NYSE listing standards and the board of directors will determine an "audit committee financial expert," as defined in the rules of the SEC. The designation will not impose on the audit committee financial expert any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than those generally imposed on members of our audit committee and our board of directors. Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the audit committee, which will be available on our corporate website at https://www.ardaghmetalpackaging.com/corporate/investors.

Compensation Committee

Upon consummation of the Merger, our compensation committee will consist of Paul Coulson, Damien O'Brien and Hermanus Troskie, with Paul Coulson serving as the chair of the compensation committee.

AMPSA MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Combined Financial Statements, included in this proxy statement/prospectus, beginning on page F-2. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with "Presentation of Financial and Other Data" and "Selected Historical Combined Financial and Other Data of the AMP Business". Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussions in this section contain forward-looking statements that reflect AMP Business's plans, estimates and beliefs and involve risks and uncertainties. The AMP Business's actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, particularly in "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Unless the context indicates otherwise, when we refer to the "AMP Business" we do not take into account the effects of the Business Combination. Some of the measures used in this proxy statement/prospectus are not measurements of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to operating profit/(loss) or profit/(loss) for the period as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with IFRS. References in this section to "we," "our," "us," or "AMPSA" generally refer to AMPSA and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The AMP Business

AMPSA generates its revenue from supplying metal can packaging. The AMP Business is a leading global supplier of sustainable, value-added beverage cans, principally aluminum, to beverage companies serving end-use categories including beer, carbonated soft drinks, cocktails, energy drinks, hard seltzers, juices, teas, water (both carbonated and still) and wine. Our principal target regions are Europe, North America and Brazil, and our customers include a wide range of multinational beverage companies owning some of the best-known brands in the world, as well as leading regional and national beverage producers. Revenue is primarily dependent on sales volumes and sales prices.

Sales volumes are influenced by a number of factors, including factors driving customer demand, seasonality and the capacity of our metal beverage packaging plants. Demand for our metal beverage cans may be influenced by trends in the consumption of beverages, industry trends in packaging, including marketing decisions, and the impact of environmental regulations and shifts in consumer sentiment towards a greater awareness of sustainability issues.

The Acquisition of the AMP Business

The Beverage Can Acquisition

On June 30, 2016, Ardagh Group acquired the AMP Business for total consideration of $3.0 billion.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus reflect the AMP Business, which has not in the past formed a separate accounting group. The AMP Business does not constitute a separate legal entity or group. The Combined Financial Statements have been prepared by aggregating the financial information for the metal beverage can businesses, comprising the entities constituting the AMP Business together with the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses that management has determined are specifically attributable to the AMP Business.

211

For a complete description of the accounting principles followed in preparing the Combined Financial Statements, please see Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Basis of preparation" to the Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This basis of preparation sets out the method used in identifying the financial position, performance and cash flows of the beverage businesses included in the Combined Financial Statements.

The Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. A summary of significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2 to the Combined Financial Statements. In applying accounting principles, we make assumptions, estimates and judgments which are often subjective and may be affected by changing circumstances or changes in our analysis. Material changes in these assumptions, estimates and judgments have the potential to materially alter our results of operations. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Impairment of goodwill

The value-in-use ("VIU") model for each annual impairment test respectively used the following year's approved budget and a three-year forecast for 2022 to 2024 (2019 and 2018 two-year forecast period; January 1, 2018: one-year period). The budget and forecast results were then extended for a further one year period (2019 and 2018: two-year period; January 1, 2018: four-year period) making certain assumptions, including that long-term depreciation equals capital expenditure, in addition to the how changes in input cost will impact customer pricing, in line with historic practice and contractual terms.

The terminal value assumed long-term growth based on a combination of factors including long-term inflation in addition to industry and market specific factors. The growth rate applied by management in respect of the terminal values applicable to the groups of CGUs for 2020 was 1.0% (2019: 1.0%; 2018: 1.5%; January 1, 2018: 1.5%).

Cash flows considered in the VIU model included the cash inflows and outflows related to the continuing use of the assets over their remaining useful lives, expected earnings, required maintenance capital expenditure, and working capital.

The discount rate applied to cash flows in the VIU model was estimated using the weighted average cost of capital as determined by the Capital Asset Pricing Model with regard to the risks associated with the cash flows being considered (country, market and specific risks of the asset).

The discount rates used in 2020 ranged from 5.1% - 7.9% (2019: 5.1% - 8.5%). These rates are pre-tax. These assumptions have been used for the analysis for each group of CGU. Management determined budgeted cash flows based on past performance and its expectations for market development

The modelled cash flows take into account the Business' established history of earnings, cash flow generation and the nature of the markets in which we operate, where product obsolescence is low. The key assumptions employed in modelling estimates of the net present value of future cash flows are subjective and include projected Adjusted EBITDA, discount rates and growth rates, replacement capital expenditure requirements, rates of customer retention and the ability to maintain margin through the pass through of input cost inflation.

A sensitivity analysis was performed reflecting potential variations in terminal growth rate and discount rate assumptions. In all cases the recoverable values calculated were significantly in excess of the carrying values of the CGUs. The variation applied to terminal value growth rates and discount rates was a 50 basis point decrease and increase respectively and represents a reasonably possible change to the key assumptions of the VIU model. Further, a reasonably possible change to the

212

operating cash flows would not reduce the recoverable amounts below the carrying value of the CGUs. As a result of the significant excess of recoverable amount, management consider that additional disclosures are not required under IAS36.

Lease term upon adoption of IFRS 16

Upon adoption of IFRS 16, several lease agreements included renewal and termination options. As part of the recognition of such leases, Ardagh Metal Packaging assessed all facts and circumstances that created an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option, or not exercise a termination option. Renewal options (or periods after termination options) were only included in the lease term if the conclusion was that the lease was reasonably certain to be renewed (or not terminated).

Income taxes

We are subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions and judgment is therefore required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations in the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit matters based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Measurement of employee benefit obligations

We follow guidance of IAS 19(R) to determine the present value of our obligations to current and past employees in respect of defined benefit pension obligations, other long-term employee benefits and other end of service employee benefits, which are subject to similar fluctuations in value in the long-term. We, with the assistance of a network of professionals, value such liabilities designed to ensure consistency in the quality of the key assumptions underlying the valuations.

The principal pension assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements take account of the different economic circumstances in the countries in which we operate and the different characteristics of the respective plans including the length of duration of liabilities.

The ranges of the principal assumptions applied in estimating defined benefit obligations were:

|  | Germany |  | UK |  | U.S. |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017(i) |  | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017(i) |  | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017(i) |
|  | % |  | % |  | % |  | % |  | % |  | % |  | % |  | % |  | % |  | % |  | % |  | % |
Rate of inflation |  |  | 1.50 |  |  | 1.50 |  |  | 1.50 |  |  | 1.50 |  |  | 2.70 |  |  | 2.85 |  |  | 3.10 |  |  | 3.10 |  |  | 2.50 |  |  | 2.50 |  |  | 2.50 |  |  | 2.50 |

Discount rate |  |  | 1.05 |  |  | 1.47 |  |  | 2.23 |  |  | 2.22 |  |  | 1.50 |  |  | 2.15 |  |  | 2.95 |  |  | 2.70 |  |  | 2.55 |  |  | 3.40 |  |  | 4.46 |  |  | 3.80 |

(i)
  At January 1, 2018

Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on actuarial advice in accordance with published statistics and experience.

213

These assumptions translate into the following average life expectancy in years for a pensioner retiring at age 65. The mortality assumptions for the countries with the most significant defined benefit plans are set out below:

|  | Germany |  | UK |  | U.S. |

  At January 1, 2018

If the discount rate were to decrease by 50 basis points from management estimates, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would increase by an estimated $54 million for 2020 (2019: $49 million, 2018: $44 million; January 1, 2018: $50 million). If the discount rate were to increase by 50 basis points, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would decrease by an estimated $47 million for 2020 (2019: $42 million, 2018: $39 million; January 1, 2018: $44 million).

If the inflation rate were to decrease by 50 basis points from management estimates, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would decrease by an estimated $23 million for 2020 (2019: $20 million, 2018: $22 million; January 1, 2018: $24 million). If the inflation rate were to increase by 50 basis points, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would increase by an estimated $24 million for 2020 (2019: $22 million, 2018: $24 million; January 1, 2018: $26 million).

If the salary increase rate were to decrease by 50 basis points from management estimates, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would decrease by an estimated $26 million for 2020 (2019: $23 million, 2018: $25 million; January 1, 2018: $29 million). If the salary increase rate were to increase by 50 basis points, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would increase by an estimated $27 million for 2020 (2019: $26 million, 2018: $28 million; January 1, 2018: $32 million).

The impact of increasing the life expectancy by one year would result in an increase in the net pension obligation of the AMP Business of $15 million at December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019: $12 million, December 31, 2018: $8 million; January 1, 2018: $12 million), holding all other assumptions constant.

Exceptional items

The combined income statement, combined statement of cash flows (cash generated from operations) and segmental analysis of the AMP Business separately identify results before specific items. Specific items are those that in management's judgment need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence to provide additional information. Such items include, however are not limited to, where significant, costs relating to permanent capacity realignment or footprint reorganization, start-up costs incurred in relation to and associated with plant builds, significant new line investments, impairment of non-current assets and directly attributable acquisition costs. In this regard, the determination of "significant" as included in our definition uses qualitative and quantitative factors. Judgment is used by the AMP Business in assessing the particular items, which by virtue of their scale and nature, are disclosed in the combined income statement, and related notes as exceptional items. The AMP Business considers columnar presentation to be appropriate in the combined income statement as it provides useful additional information and is consistent with the way that financial performance is measured by the Business. Exceptional restructuring costs are classified as restructuring provisions and all other exceptional costs when outstanding at the balance sheet date are classified as exceptional items payable.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The assessment of the board of Directors of AGSA of the impact of new standards, which are not yet effective and which have not been early adopted by the Business, on the consolidated financial statements of the AMP Business and related disclosures is on-going but no material impacts are expected.

Revenue

Revenue in the year ended December 31, 2020, increased by $107 million, or 3%, to $3,451 million, compared with $3,344 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in revenue principally reflected favorable volume/mix effects of 5% and favorable foreign currency translation effects of $10 million, partly offset by the pass through to customers of lower input costs in selling prices.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales in the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by $71 million, or 3%, to $2,903 million, compared with $2,832 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in cost of sales is mainly due to the impact of higher sales as outlined above, unfavorable currency translation effects, higher exceptional cost of sales and higher operating costs. Further analysis of the movement in exceptional items is set out in the "Supplemental Management's Discussion and Analysis" section.

Gross profit

Gross profit in the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by $36 million, or 7%, to $548 million, compared with $512 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in gross profit primarily reflected higher revenue, partly offset by the higher cost of sales. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2020, increased by 60 basis points to 15.9%, compared with 15.3% in the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding exceptional cost of sales, gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2020, increased by 70 basis points to 16.1%, compared with 15.4% in the year ended December 31, 2019.

215

Sales, general and administration expenses

Sales, general and administration expenses in the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by $24 million, or 15%, to $189 million, compared with $165 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding exceptional items, sales, general and administration expenses increased by $22 million, or 14%, mainly due to higher operating costs, including direct costs related to COVID-19 incurred in the year ended December 31, 2020. Further analysis of the movement in exceptional items is set out in the "Supplemental Management's Discussion and Analysis" section.

Intangible amortization

Intangible amortization in the year ended December 31, 2020 remained constant at $149 million in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Operating profit

Operating profit in the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by $12 million, or 6%, to $210 million compared with $198 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in operating profit primarily reflected higher gross profit, partly offset by the higher sales, general and administration expenses.

Net finance expense

Net finance expense in the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by $143 million, or 67%, to $70 million, compared with $213 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Net finance expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 comprised of the following:

|  | Year ended December 31, |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2020 |  | 2019 |
|  | (in $ millions) |
Interest on related party borrowings |  |  | 146 |  |  | 170 |
Net pension interest cost |  |  | 3 |  |  | 4 |
Foreign currency translation (gain)/loss |  |  | (93 | ) |  | 20 |
Losses on derivative financial instruments |  |  | 5 |  |  | 2 |
Other finance expense |  |  | 12 |  |  | 14 |
Other finance income |  |  | (3 | ) |  | (2 | )
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Finance expense before exceptional items |  |  | 70 |  |  | 208 |
Exceptional finance expense |  |  | — |  |  | 5 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Net finance expense |  |  | 70 |  |  | 213 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

Interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by $24 million, or 14%, to $146 million, compared with $170 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in interest rates on related party borrowings.

Derivative financial instruments in the year ended December 31, 2020 reflected a loss of $5 million, compared to $2 million in the year ended December 31, 2019 which related primarily to the Business's forward foreign exchange contracts.

Foreign currency translation gain in the year ended December 31, 2020 was $93 million, compared with a loss of $20 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, which related to favorable currency translation effects driven by exchange rate fluctuations primarily in relation to USD-denominated related party borrowings in euro functional entities.

216

Exceptional finance expense of $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily related to the accelerated amortization of deferred debt issue costs.

Income tax charge

Income tax charge in the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by $4 million, or 16%, to $29 million, compared with income tax charge of $25 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in income tax charge is primarily attributable to an increase in the profit before tax of $155 million (tax effect of $39 million at the standard rate of Luxembourg corporation tax). This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $20 million in income tax charge in respect of prior years (which includes tax credits during the year ended December 31, 2020 related to the carry back of tax losses as a result of the enactment from March 27, 2020, of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, which are non-recurring), a decrease of $7 million in the income tax charge relating to income taxed at rates other than the standard rate of Luxembourg corporation tax, a decrease of $5 million in non-deductible items, and a decrease of $3 million in income subject to state and other local income taxes.

The effective income tax rate is a function of the profit or loss before tax and the tax charge or credit for the year. The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020, calculated as the income tax charge in the year ended December 31, 2020 of $29 million, divided by the profit before tax for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $140 million, was 21%. The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019, calculated as the income tax charge in the year ended December 31, 2019 of $25 million, divided by the loss before tax for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $15 million, was (167%). The primary driver of the reduction in the effective income tax rate is the $155 million increase in the profit before tax during the year ended December 31, 2020, as described in the preceding sections. This outweighs the increase in the effective income tax rate from the $4 million increase in tax charge described in the preceding paragraph, resulting in the overall reduction in the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Due to the tax credits associated with the CARES Act, which are non-recurring, and the forecast increase in our profit denominator arising from the business growth investment program, the effective income tax rate in the historical financial statements is not expected to be indicative of the expected effective income tax rate in future periods.

Profit/(loss) for the year

As a result of the items described above, the profit for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $111 million, compared with a loss of $40 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to higher operating profit and lower net finance expense, partly offset by higher income tax charge.

Revenue

Revenue in the year ended December 31, 2019, increased by $6 million to $3,344 million, compared with $3,338 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue principally reflected favorable volume/mix effects of 6%, partly offset by the pass through to customers of lower input costs in selling prices and unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of $86 million.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales in the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $3 million to $2,832 million, compared with $2,835 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in cost of sales was due mainly to lower exceptional cost of sales and favorable currency translation effects, partly offset by lower input and other operating costs. Exceptional cost of sales decreased by $23 million. Further analysis of the movement in exceptional items is set out in the "Supplemental Management's Discussion and Analysis" section.

Gross profit

Gross profit in the year ended December 31, 2019 increased by $9 million, or 2%, to $512 million, compared with $503 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in gross profit primarily reflected higher revenue and lower cost of sales. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2019, increased by 20 basis points to 15.3%, compared with 15.1% in the year ended December 31, 2018. Excluding exceptional cost of sales, gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2019, decreased by 50 basis points to 15.4%, compared with 15.9% in the year ended December 31, 2018.

Sales, general and administration expenses

Sales, general and administration expenses in the year ended December 31, 2019 increased by $19 million, or 13%, to $165 million, compared with $146 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase primarily related to increased operating costs and higher exceptional sales, general and administration expenses of $11 million. Further analysis of the movement in exceptional items is set out in the "Supplemental Management's Discussion and Analysis" section.

218

Intangible amortization

Intangible amortization in the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $4 million, or 3%, to $149 million, compared with $153 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations in the year.

Operating profit

Operating profit in the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $6 million, or 3%, to $198 million compared with $204 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in operating profit primarily reflected higher sales, general and administration expenses partly offset by higher gross profit and lower intangible amortization.

Net finance expense

Net finance expense in the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $16 million, or 7%, to $213 million, compared with $229 million in the year ended December 31, 2018.

Net finance expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 comprised of the following:

|  | Year ended December 31, |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2019 |  | 2018 |
|  | (in $ millions) |
Interest on related party borrowings |  |  | 170 |  |  | 171 |

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

Interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2019 of $170 million was broadly in line with $171 million in the year ended December 31, 2018.

Derivative financial instruments in the year ended December 31, 2019 reflected a loss of $2 million which related primarily to the Business's forward foreign exchange contracts, compared to a gain of $2 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, which related to a gain on the Business's cross-currency interest rate swaps ("CCIRS").

Foreign currency translation losses in the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $27 million to $20 million, compared to $47 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, which related to favorable currency translation effects on related party borrowings.

Exceptional finance expense of $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily related to the accelerated amortization of deferred debt issue costs.

Income tax charge

Income tax charge in the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $25 million, or 50%, to $25 million, compared with income tax charge of $50 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in income tax charge was primarily attributable to a decrease of $18 million in the tax effect of non-deductible items (finance expense in the U.S. became tax deductible with effect from the

219

year ended December 31, 2019), in addition to a decrease of $8 million in the tax charge relating to income taxed at rates other than the standard rate of Luxembourg corporation tax, a decrease of $1 million in tax charge in respect of prior years and a decrease of $1 million in income subject to state and other local income taxes. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in the loss before tax of $10 million (tax effect of $3 million at the standard rate of Luxembourg corporation tax).

The effective income tax rate is a function of the profit or loss before tax and the tax charge or credit for the year. The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019, calculated as the income tax charge in the year ended December 31, 2019 of $25 million, divided by the loss before tax for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $15 million, was (167%). The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2018, calculated as the income tax charge in the year ended December 31, 2018 of $50 million, divided by the loss before tax for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $25 million, was (200%). The decrease in the effective income tax rate due to the $25 million reduction in the tax charge described in the preceding paragraph outweighs the increase in the effective tax rate due to the $10 million decrease in the loss before tax during the year ended December 31, 2019 as described in the preceding sections, resulting in the overall reduction in the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Due to the forecast increase in our profit denominator arising from the business growth investment program, the effective income tax rate in the historical financial statements is not expected to be indicative of the expected effective income tax rate in future periods.

Loss for the year

As a result of the items described above, the loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $35 million, to $40 million, compared with a loss of $75 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to lower net finance expense and lower income tax charge, partly offset by lower operating profit.

Supplemental Management's Discussion and Analysis

Key Operating non-GAAP Measures—Adjusted EBITDA

We include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA consists of profit/(loss) for the year before income tax charge/(credit), net finance expense, depreciation and amortization, and exceptional operating items. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate and assess our segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in the packaging industry. However, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA in a manner different from ours. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered an alternative to profit/(loss) as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA is based on revenue derived from selling our metal beverage cans and is affected by a number of factors, primarily cost of sales. The elements of our cost of sales include (i) variable costs, such as electricity, raw materials (including the cost of aluminum), packaging materials, decoration and freight and other distribution costs, and (ii) fixed costs, such as labor and other plant-related costs including depreciation, maintenance and sales, marketing and administrative costs. Variable costs have typically constituted approximately 75% and fixed costs approximately 25% of the total cost of sales for our business in 2020.

Beverage Europe. Revenue increased by $43 million, or 3%, to $1,599 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with $1,556 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in revenue primarily reflects favorable foreign currency translation effects of $10 million and favorable volume/mix effects of 4%, partly offset by the pass through of lower input costs in selling prices.

Beverage Americas. Revenue increased by $64 million, or 4%, to $1,852 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with $1,788 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Revenue growth reflected favorable volume/mix effects of 6%, partly offset by the pass through of lower input costs.

Adjusted EBITDA

Beverage Europe. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $4 million, or 2%, to $249 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with $253 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding favorable foreign currency translation effects of $1 million, the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA reflected the net impact of a prior year pension credit and increased operating costs, partly offset by favorable volume/mix effects and lower input costs.

Beverage Americas. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $46 million, or 18%, to $296 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with $250 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA growth was mainly driven by favorable volume/mix effects and other costs savings.

Revenue

Beverage Europe. Revenue decreased by $60 million, or 4%, to $1,556 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with $1,616 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in revenue primarily reflects unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of $86 million and lower selling prices, partly offset by favorable volume/mix effects of 3%.

Beverage Americas. Revenue increased by $66 million, or 4%, to $1,788 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with $1,722 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. Revenue growth reflected favorable volume/mix effects of 8%, partly offset by the pass through of lower input costs.

Adjusted EBITDA

Beverage Europe. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $31 million, or 11%, to $253 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with $284 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA reflected unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of $13 million, lower selling prices and increased operating and other costs, partly offset by favorable volume/mix effects and a one-time pension credit of approximately $15 million.

Beverage Americas. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $15 million, or 6%, to $250 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with $235 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA growth principally reflected favorable volume/mix effects, partly offset by higher operating and other costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements Related to Operations

Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been (i) cash generated from our operations and (ii) related party borrowings and advances, which will no longer be available upon the completion of the Transactions. Consequently, we will seek external sources of financing to the extent cash generated from operations is not sufficient to meet our requirements. Following the Pre-Closing Restructuring, we do not have any commitments to guarantee or pledge our shares or assets as collateral for debt of AGSA and, following the Notes Offering, none of our cash flows are used to service Ardagh's debt.

223

We currently expect that cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and other available financing from the Notes Offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating, capital expenditure, investment, debt service and other financing requirements during the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future. In addition to the Notes Offering, we expect to enter into a revolving credit facility, including potentially a global asset based loan facility or a super senior revolver, or other liquidity financing arrangements.

Our divisions' sales and cash flows are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Demand for our products is typically strongest during the summer months and in the period prior to December because of the seasonal nature of beverage consumption. Our investment in working capital typically peaks in the first quarter. We manage the seasonality of our working capital by supplementing operating cash flows with drawings under available credit facilities.

The following table outlines our principal financing arrangements as of December 31:

  At January 1, 2018

Lease obligations at December 31, 2020 of $136 million (December 31, 2019: $133 million; December 31, 2018: $107 million) primarily reflect $36 million of new or renewed leases (December 31, 2019: $55 million; December 31, 2018: $47 million), offset by $35 million (2019: $26 million; 2018: $19 million) of principal repayments and foreign currency movements in the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following table outlines the minimum repayments the Business is obliged to make in respect of its financing arrangements as of December 31, 2020, during the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, and assumes that the other credit lines will be replaced with similar facilities including a revolving credit facility (Global Asset Based Loan Facility) which we expect to enter into.

The AMP Business believes it has adequate liquidity to satisfy its cash needs for at least the next 12 months. In the year ended December 31, 2020, the AMP Business reported operating profit of $210 million, cash generated from operations of $530 million, net cash from operating activities of $334 million, and generated Adjusted EBITDA of $545 million.

The AMP Business generates substantial cash flow from its operations and had $257 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2020. We believe that our cash balances and future cash flow from operating activities, as well as credit facilities that we expect to enter into in the future, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our capital expenditures in addition to our business growth investment projects, as well as interest payments on our notes and other credit facilities for at least the next 12 months.

Accordingly, the AMP Business believes that its long-term liquidity needs will primarily relate to the service of its debt obligations. We expect to satisfy our future long-term liquidity needs through a combination of cash flow from operating activities and, where appropriate, to refinance our debt obligations in advance of their respective maturity dates.

Net cash from operating activities

Net cash from operating activities decreased by $43 million from $377 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, to $334 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in working capital inflows of $95 million, and an increase of $15 million in exceptional operating costs paid, partly offset by an increase of $12 million in operating profit, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $25 million and an increase in exceptional operating items expense of $5 million. Net cash from operating activities was further impacted by interest paid and tax paid of $155 million and $41 million, respectively.

Net cash from operating activities increased by $105 million from $272 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, to $377 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher working capital inflows of $84 million, a decrease in exceptional costs paid, including restructuring of $29 million, lower income tax paid of $9 million, and increased depreciation and amortization of $2 million, partly offset by a decrease in exceptional operating items expense of $12 million, lower operating profit of $6 million and an increase in interest paid of $1 million.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $63 million to $268 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019 due to increased capital expenditure, reflecting capital investment initiatives, and the timing of projects. Capital expenditure for the year ended December 31, 2020, includes $168 million related to the Business' growth investment initiatives.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $23 million to $205 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with the same period in 2018 due to increased capital expenditure, reflecting capital investment initiatives and timing of projects. Capital expenditure for the year ended December 31, 2019, includes $10 million related to the Business' short payback projects.

Net outflow from financing activities

In the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash from financing activities represented an outflow of $98 million compared with $36 million in the same period in 2019. The increase was due to a cash outflow of $8 million in the net change in other current borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily related to amounts collected from customers for accounts receivables sold under factoring arrangements but not yet remitted to the financial institutions at December 31, 2020, compared to a cash inflow of $16 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Lease repayments also increased by $9 million compared to the same period in 2019 as a result of leasing activity levels.

In the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash from financing activities represented an outflow of $36 million compared with $90 million in the same period in 2018. The decrease primarily relates to consideration received on termination of derivative financial instruments of $28 million, a decrease in cash remitted to Ardagh of $19 million, and an increase in the cash inflow in net change in other borrowings of $14 million, partly offset by an increase in lease repayments of $7 million reflecting leasing activity levels.

Consideration received on termination of derivative financial instruments of $28 million reflects the proceeds received on settlement of the CCIRS in August 2019.

Working capital

For the year ended December 31, 2020, working capital inflows decreased by $95 million to $7 million, compared to $102 million in December 31, 2019. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to unfavorable cashflows generated from trade and other receivables and trade and other payables, partly offset by favorable cashflows generated from inventories.

226

For the year ended December 31, 2019, working capital inflows increased by $84 million to $102 million, compared to $18 million in December 31, 2018. The increase in working capital was primarily due to favorable cashflows generated from trade and other payables and inventories, partly offset by unfavorable cashflows generated from trade and other receivables.

Exceptional operating costs paid

Transaction-related, start-up and other exceptional costs paid in the year ended December 31, 2020, increased by $15 million to $22 million compared with $7 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. In the year ended December 31, 2020, amounts paid of $22 million primarily related to capacity realignment and investments programs of the Business, including start-up costs.

Transaction-related, start-up and other exceptional costs paid in the year ended December 31, 2019, decreased by $29 million to $7 million compared with $36 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. In the year ended December 31, 2019, amounts paid of $7 million primarily related to start-up related costs paid.

Income tax paid

Income tax paid during the year ended December 31, 2020, was $41 million, which represents a decrease of $2 million compared to $43 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to the timing of tax payments and refunds received in certain jurisdictions.

Income tax paid during the year ended December 31, 2019, was $43 million, which represents a decrease of $9 million compared to $52 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to the timing of tax payments and refunds received in certain jurisdictions, in addition to the phasing of tax incentives in certain jurisdictions.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Receivables Factoring and Related Programs

The Business participates in several uncommitted accounts receivable factoring and related programs with various financial institutions for certain receivables, accounted for as true sales of receivables, without recourse to the Business. Receivables of $332 million were sold under these programs at December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019: $370 million).

Trade Payables Processing

Our suppliers have access to independent third party payable processors. The processors allow suppliers, if they choose, to sell their receivables to financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institutions. We have no involvement in the sale of these receivables and the suppliers are at liberty to use these arrangements if they wish to receive early payment. As the original liability to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, remains as agreed in our supply agreements and is neither legally extinguished nor substantially modified, the Business continues to present such obligations within trade payables

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The statements about market risk below relate to our historical financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Interest Rate

At December 31, 2020, AMPSA's related party borrowings were 100% (2019: 100%, 2018: 100%, January 1, 2018: 100%) fixed, and hence the AMP Business is not subject to interest rate risk.

Currency Exchange Risk

AMPSA presents its combined financial information in U.S. dollar.

AMPSA operates in 9 countries, across three continents and its main currency exposure in the year to December 31, 2020, from the U.S. dollar presentation currency, was in relation to the euro, British

228

pound, and Brazilian real. Currency exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.

AMPSA has a limited level of transactional currency exposure arising from sales or purchases by operating units in currencies other than their functional currencies.

Fluctuations in the value of these currencies with respect to the U.S. dollar presentation currency may have a significant impact on AMPSA's financial condition and results of operations. AMPSA believes that a strengthening of the U.S. dollar exchange rate by 1% against all other foreign currencies from the December 31, 2020 rate would increase invested capital by approximately $5 million.

Commodity Price Risk

AMPSA is exposed to changes in prices of its main raw materials, primarily energy, and aluminum. Aluminum ingot is traded daily as a commodity on the London Metal Exchange, which has historically been subject to significant price volatility. Because aluminum is priced in U.S. dollar, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar/euro rate also affect the euro cost of aluminum ingot. The price and foreign currency risk on the aluminum purchases in Metal Beverage Packaging Europe and Metal Beverage Packaging Americas are hedged by entering into swaps under which we pay fixed euro and U.S. dollar prices, respectively. Furthermore, the relative price of oil and its by-products may materially impact our business, affecting our transport, lacquer and ink costs.

AMPSA uses derivative agreements with AGSA to manage some of the material cost risk. The use of derivative contracts to manage its risk is dependent on robust hedging procedures. Increasing raw material costs over time has the potential, if we are unable to pass on price increases, to reduce sales volume and could therefore have a significant impact on its financial condition. AMPSA is also exposed to possible interruptions of supply of aluminum or other raw materials and any inability to purchase raw materials could negatively impact its operations.

As a result of the volatility of gas and electricity prices, AMPSA has developed an active hedging strategy to fix a significant proportion of its energy costs through contractual arrangements directly with our suppliers. AMPSA policy is to purchase gas and electricity by entering into forward price-fixing arrangements with suppliers for the bulk of our anticipated requirements for the year ahead. Such contracts are used exclusively to obtain delivery of our anticipated energy supplies. AMPSA does not net settle, nor do we sell within a short period of time after taking delivery. AMPSA avails of the own use exemption and, therefore, these contracts are treated as executory contracts. AMPSA typically builds up these contractual positions in tranches of approximately 10% of the anticipated volumes. Any gas and electricity which is not purchased under forward price-fixing arrangements is purchased under index tracking contracts or at spot prices.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from derivative contracts, cash and deposits held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to the customers of AMPSA, including outstanding receivables. The policy of AMPSA is to place excess liquidity on deposit with AMPSA Treasury who will, in turn, only place excess liquid funds with recognized and reputable financial institutions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of "BBB+" from at least two credit rating agencies are accepted, where possible. The credit ratings of banks and financial institutions are monitored to ensure compliance with Ardagh Group policy. Risk of default is controlled within a policy framework of dealing with high quality institutions and by limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one bank or institution.

Business policy is to extend credit to customers of good credit standing. Credit risk is managed on an on-going basis, by experienced people within AMPSA. AMPSA's policy for the management of

229

credit risk in relation to trade receivables involves periodically assessing the financial reliability of customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Provisions are made, where deemed necessary, and the utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. AMPSA does not expect any significant counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each asset. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the ten largest customers of AMPSA accounted for approximately 64% of total revenues (2019: 65%; 2018: 66%). There is no recent history of default with these customers.

Liquidity Risk

AMPSA is exposed to liquidity risk which arises primarily from the maturing of short term and long-term debt obligations. AMPSA's policy has been to ensure that sufficient resources are available either from cash balances, cash flows or undrawn committed bank facilities, to ensure all obligations can be met as they fall due.

To effectively manage liquidity risk AMPSA:

  has committed borrowing facilities that it can access to meet liquidity needs;
•
  maintains cash balances and liquid investments with highly-rated counterparties;
•
  limits the maturity of cash balances;
•
  borrows the bulk of its debt needs under long term fixed rate debt securities; and
•
  has internal control processes to manage liquidity risk.

Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of AMPSA and results in rolling forecasts of AMPSA's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that AMPSA does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration AMPSA's debt financing plans.

Recent Developments

On May 17, 2021, AGSA announced that it had recently experienced a cyber security incident, the response to which included pro-actively shutting down certain IT systems and applications used by the AMP Business. Ardagh Group's IT team, supported by external cyber security and other specialists, has been working to assess and remediate the impact of the event in accordance with its network and security protocols and procedures, while continuing to safely operate our facilities and serve our customers. Key systems have been brought back online securely, in a phased manner and in line with our plan. Production at all of our manufacturing facilities has continued to operate throughout this period. While products have continued to be shipped to customers, we have experienced some shipping delays as a result of this incident, principally in Europe. Certain other processes, including certain supply chain operations, have been affected, and alternative solutions, including manual workarounds, have been implemented to enable us to continue to respond to our customers' needs. While investigation of the incident is ongoing, we have already taken various steps, including engaging leading industry specialists to conduct a forensic investigation of our systems and introducing additional protection tools across our network to further enhance the security of our IT systems. We believe that our existing information technology control environment is appropriately robust and consistent with industry standards. However, in addition to addressing any findings of these industry specialists, we are reviewing our information technology roadmap and accelerating planned IT investments to further improve the effectiveness of our information security. We do not believe that our business growth investment program has been impacted by this incident. However, it is likely to give rise to some deferral or loss of revenue, as well as to incremental costs, in the current quarter and, at a diminishing

230

rate, in subsequent quarters. We maintain appropriate insurance in respect of a wide range of risks, including in respect of IT incidents. In addition, AMPSA has entered into a letter agreement with AGSA dated May 21, 2021, under which AGSA has agreed to indemnify AMPSA and its subsidiaries for certain losses arising from this incident as described in the section entitled "Certain AMPSA Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Indemnification Letter Agreement." As a result, we do not expect this incident to have an effect on the operating results or financial position of AMPSA.

INFORMATION ABOUT GHV

References in this section to "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "GHV" generally refer to GHV.

General

We are a special purpose acquisition company incorporated on June 25, 2020 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to as a "business combination". Prior to our entering into the Business Combination Agreement, our acquisition and value creation strategy was to identify, acquire and, after an initial business combination, to build a company in an industry or sector that complements the experience of our management team and can benefit from our operational expertise. Our acquisition selection process has leveraged our team's network of potential transaction sources, ranging from owners and directors of private and public companies, private equity funds, investment bankers, lenders, attorneys, accountants and other trusted advisors across various sectors. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on our business activities, we are a "shell company" as defined under the Exchange Act because we have no operations and nominal assets consisting solely of cash and/or cash equivalents.

On July 14, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 11,500,000 GHV Founder Shares for $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. On August 3, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 GHV Founder Shares to each of the Company's three independent director nominees at their original purchase price. On August 5, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend with respect to its GHV Class F Common Stock of 2,156,250 shares thereof, resulting in an aggregate of 13,656,250 outstanding shares of GHV Class F Common Stock. On September 21, 2020, the Sponsor forfeited 531,250 Founder Shares following the expiration of the unexercised portion of the underwriters' overallotment option, so that the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders would represent 20.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock following completion of the Public Offering. The shares and the associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the dividend. The GHV Founder Shares are identical to the GHV Class A Common Stock included in the GHV Units sold in the IPO except that the GHV Founder Shares are convertible under the circumstances described below. The GHV Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of GHV Class A Common Stock at the time of the Merger on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Pursuant to the IPO, on August 10, 2020 (the "IPO Closing Date"), the Company sold 52,500,000 GHV Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, including 5,000,000 GHV Units as a result of the underwriters' partial exercise of its over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $525,000,000. Each GHV Unit consists of one share of the Company's GHV Class A Common Stock and one-fifth of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of GHV Class A Common Stock. Each Public Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company's initial business combination or 12 months from the IPO Closing Date and will expire five years after the completion of the Company's initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, unless we amend our current certificate of incorporation and certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company, if the Company does not complete an initial business combination on or prior to August 10, 2022, the Public Warrants will expire at the end of such period.

The Sponsor has purchased from the Company an aggregate of 6,250,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $2.00 per warrant (a purchase price of approximately $12,500,000) in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of GHV Class A Common Stock at $11.50 per share.

234

A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account pending completion of the Merger. The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants sold as part of the GHV Units in the IPO, except the Private Placement Warrants are not redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, except as otherwise provided in the Warrant Agreement. If the Company does not complete a business combination, then the Private Placement Warrants proceeds will be part of the liquidation distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

On February 22, 2021, the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 22, 2021 and the Board of Directors of AGSA on February 22, 2021.

Initial Business Combination

Nasdaq rules require that an initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in our Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with an initial business combination. Our Board has determined that the Merger meets the 80% test.

Redemption Rights for Holders of Public Shares

We are providing our Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the closing of the Merger, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, upon the consummation of the Merger, subject to the limitations described herein. As of March 31, 2021, the redemption price would have been approximately $10.00 per share. Our Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor, and our other current directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their shares of GHV Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Merger. The GHV Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our GHV Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Merger.

Submission of Our Initial Business Combination to a Stockholder Vote

The Special Meeting of our stockholders to which this proxy statement/prospectus relates is to solicit your approval of the Merger Proposal. Unlike many other special purpose acquisition companies, our Public Stockholders are not required to vote against the Merger Proposal in order to exercise their redemption rights. If the Merger is not completed, then Public Stockholders electing to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to receive such payments. Our Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor, have agreed to vote any shares of GHV Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Merger Proposal.

Limitations on Redemption Rights

Notwithstanding the foregoing, our current certificate of incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will

235

be restricted from exercising redemptions with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares of GHV Class A Common Stock included in the GHV Units sold in our IPO.

Employees

We currently have three executive officers. Members of our management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed an initial business combination. We presently expect our officers to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business, and the amount of time that Mr. Gores or any other members of our management will devote in any time period will vary based on the current stage of the business combination process.

Alec E. Gores has been our Chairman since June 2020. Mr. Gores is the Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Gores Group, a global investment firm focused on acquiring businesses that can benefit from the firm's operating expertise. Mr. Gores implemented an operational approach to private equity investing when he founded The Gores Group in 1987 by operating businesses alongside management, or in some cases in lieu of management, to build value in those entities. Since then, the firm has acquired more than 120 businesses including a current portfolio of 8 active companies worldwide. Mr. Gores began his career as a self-made entrepreneur and operating executive. In 1978, he self-funded and founded Executive Business Systems (EBS), a developer and distributor of vertical business software systems. Within seven years, EBS had become a leading value-added reseller in Michigan and employed over 200 people. In 1986, CONTEL purchased EBS, and Mr. Gores subsequently began acquiring and operating non-core businesses from major corporations and building value in those entities, a decision that ultimately led to the founding of what has evolved into The Gores Group today. Under his leadership, The Gores Group has continued to acquire businesses in need of operational and financial resources, while creating value and working with management teams to establish an entrepreneurial environment as a foundation for sustainable growth. This philosophy has served the firm well.

Stockholder Communications

Our board of directors has established a process for stockholders to send communications to our board of directors. Stockholders may communicate with our board of directors generally or a specific director at any time by writing to the Company's Secretary, Gores Holdings V, Inc., 9800 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, California 90212. We review all messages received, and forward any message that reasonably appears to be a communication from a stockholder about a matter of stockholder interest that is intended for communication to our board of directors. Communications are sent as soon as practicable to the director to whom they are addressed, or if addressed to our board of directors generally, to the Chairman of our board of directors. Because other appropriate avenues of communication exist for matters that are not of stockholder interest, such as general business complaints or employee grievances, communications that do not relate to matters of stockholder interest are not forwarded to our board of directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our board of directors recognizes that the leadership structure and combination or separation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles is driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time. As a result, no policy exists requiring combination or separation of leadership roles and our governing documents do not mandate a particular structure. This has allowed our board of directors the flexibility to establish the most appropriate structure for the Company at any given time. Currently, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles are separately held by Mr. Mark R. Stone and

239

Mr. Alec E. Gores, respectively. In addition, none of the officers of the Company is a member of our board of directors and none of the directors of our board of directors is an officer of the Company.

Our board of directors is actively involved in overseeing our risk management process. Our board of directors focuses on our general risk management strategy and ensures that appropriate risk mitigation strategies are implemented by management. Further, operational and strategic presentations by management to our board of directors include consideration of the challenges and risks of our businesses, and our Board and management actively engage in discussion on these topics. In addition, each of our board of directors' committees considers risk within its area of responsibility. For example, our Audit Committee provides oversight to legal and compliance matters and assesses the adequacy of our risk-related internal controls. In addition, our Compensation Committee considers risk and structures our executive compensation programs, if any, to provide incentives to appropriately reward executives for growth without undue risk taking.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

We have four members of our board of directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Randall Bort, expires at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of William Patton and Jeffrey Rea, expires at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Alec E. Gores, expires at the third annual meeting of stockholders.

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that our officers may consist of a Chairman of the board of directors, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An "independent director" is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company's board of directors, would interfere with the director's exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Randall Bort, William Patton, and Jeffrey Rea are "independent directors" as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of the Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of the Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors has established an audit committee of the board of directors. Audit committee members include Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea. Under the Nasdaq listing

240

standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent. Messrs. Bort, Patton and Rea qualify as independent directors under applicable rules.

Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Randall Bort qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in applicable SEC rules.

We have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:

•
  the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;
•
  pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;
•
  reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;
•
  setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;
•
  setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
•
  obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing (i) the independent auditor's internal quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;
•
  reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and
•
  reviewing with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

Compensation Committee

Our board of directors has established a compensation committee of the board of directors. Compensation committee members include Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea are independent.

241

We have adopted a compensation committee charter which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

•
  reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer's compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer's performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;
•
  reviewing and approving on an annual basis the compensation of all of our other officers;
•
  reviewing on an annual basis our executive compensation policies and plans;
•
  implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
•
  assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
•
  approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;
•
  if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
•
  reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

It is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by the Nasdaq and the SEC.

Committee Membership, Meetings and Attendance

Each of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of our board of directors is comprised entirely of independent directors.

From June 25, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, the end of our fiscal year, our board of directors acted by written consent two times. Our Audit Committee held two meetings in fiscal year 2020 and our Compensation Committee did not hold any meetings in fiscal year 2020.

We encourage all of our directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. This Special Meeting will be our first annual meeting.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee, though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. In accordance

242

with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

The board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a Special Meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the Board should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our GHV Class A Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of such Forms, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2020 there were no delinquent filers.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, executive officers and employees that complies with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq. The Code of Ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. We have previously filed copies of our form Code of Ethics, our form of Audit Committee Charter and our form of Compensation Committee Charter as exhibits to our registration statement in connection with our IPO. You may review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request to us in writing at 9800 Wilshire Blvd. Beverly Hills, California 90212 or by telephone at (310) 209-3010. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Conflicts of Interest

The Gores Group manages several investment vehicles. Funds managed by The Gores Group or its affiliates may compete with us for acquisition opportunities. If these funds decide to pursue any such opportunity, we may be precluded from procuring such opportunities. In addition, investment ideas generated within The Gores Group, including by Mr. Gores, may be suitable for both us and for a current or future fund of The Gores Group and may be directed to such investment vehicle rather than to us. Neither The Gores Group nor members of our management team who are also employed by certain affiliates of The Gores Group have any obligation to present us with any opportunity for a potential initial business combination of which they become aware, unless presented to such member solely in his or her capacity as an officer of the Company. The Gores Group and/or our management, in their capacities as officers or managing directors of The Gores Group or in their other endeavors,

243

may be required to present potential initial business combinations to the related entities described above, current or future investment vehicles of The Gores Group, or third parties, before they present such opportunities to us.

Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to another entity pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present an initial business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of an initial business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor these fiduciary obligations under applicable law. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination. Our current certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our Company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue. The purpose for the surrender of corporate opportunities is to allow officers, directors or other representatives with multiple business affiliations to continue to serve as an officer of the Company or on our Board of directors . Our officers and directors may from time to time be presented with opportunities that could benefit both another business affiliation and us. In the absence of the "corporate opportunity" waiver in our charter, certain candidates would not be able to serve as an officer or director. We believe we substantially benefit from having representatives, who bring significant, relevant and valuable experience to our management, and, as a result, the inclusion of the "corporate opportunity" waiver in our current certificate of incorporation provides us with greater flexibility to attract and retain the officers and directors that we feel are the best candidates.

In addition, our Sponsor, officers and directors may participate in the formation of, or become an officer or director of, any other special purpose acquisition company prior to completion of our initial business combination. As a result, our Sponsor, officers or directors could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present initial business combination opportunities to us or to any other special purpose acquisition company with which they may become involved. Although we have no formal policy in place for vetting potential conflicts of interest, our board of directors will review any potential conflicts of interest on a case-by-case basis.

In particular, an affiliate of our Sponsor is currently sponsoring several other special purpose acquisition companies, consisting of: Gores Holdings VI, Gores Metropoulos II, Gores Holdings VII, Gores Holdings VIII, Gores Technology I, Gores Technology II and Gores Guggenheim. On February 7, 2021, Gores Holdings VI entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Matterport. Gores Holdings VII, Gores Holdings VIII, and Gores Guggenheim may seek to complete a business combination in any location and is not focusing on any particular industry for business combinations. Gores Metropoulos II may seek to complete a business combination in any location and is focusing on a business combination in the consumer products and services industry, Gores Technology I and Gores Technology II may seek to complete a business combination in any location and are focusing on a business combination in the technology industry. Further, Mr. Gores, our Chairman, serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Gores Metropoulos II, Mr. Stone, our Chief Executive Officer, serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Gores Holdings VI, Gores Holdings VII, Gores Holdings VIII and Gores Guggenheim. Mr. McBride, our Chief Financial Officer, serves as the Chief Financial Officer for Gores Holdings VI, Gores Metropoulos II, Gores Holdings VII, Gores Holdings VIII, Gores Technology I, Gores Technology II, and Gores Guggenheim. Any such companies, including Gores Holdings VI, Gores Metropoulos II, Gores Holdings VII, Gores Holdings VIII, Gores Technology I, Gores Technology II, and Gores Guggenheim may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an acquisition target. However, we do not believe that any potential conflicts would materially affect our

244

ability to complete our initial business combination. Investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:

•
  the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the GHV Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the GHV Founder Shares that will be exchanged for AMPSA Shares at the Merger Effective Time, and which AMPSA Shares would, if unrestricted and freely tradable, have a value of approximately $98 million at the Merger Effective Time (based on per share price of $10), but given the restrictions on such AMPSA Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, GHV believes such AMPSA Shares have less value;
•
  the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their GHV Founder Shares if GHV fails to complete an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $12,500,000 for its 6,250,000 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of GHV Class A Common Stock, and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire and become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by August 10, 2022;
•
  if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event GHV is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the GHV Sponsor has agreed to indemnify GHV to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which GHV has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to GHV, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;
•
  the continued indemnification of GHV's existing directors and officers and the purchase of a tail policy with respect to GHV's directors' and officers' existing liability insurance;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in GHV and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if GHV does not consummate an initial business combination by August 10, 2022;
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has the right to nominate two independent directors to AMPSA's board of directors as of the Closing;
•
  that, at the closing of the Merger, GHV will enter into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, which provides for registration rights to the holders of AMPSA Shares that are parties thereto and their permitted transferees;

245

•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor and members of the GHV Board and management would hold the following number of shares in AMPSA at the Closing:

Name of Person/Entity |  | Number of AMPSA Shares |  | Value of AMPSA Shares(1) |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Gores Sponsor V LLC |  |  | 9,768,750 | (2) | $ | 97,687,500 |
Alec E. Gores |  |  | 9,928,250 | (3) | $ | 99,282,500 |
Mark R. Stone |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Andrew McBride |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Randall Bort |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |
William Patton |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |
Jeffrey Rea |  |  | 25,000 |  | $ | 250,000 |

(1)
  Based on a per share price of $10.00.
(2)
  Excluding the GHV Sponsor Backstop.
(3)
  Represents (i) 159,500 shares that Mr. Gores has committed to purchase in the PIPE, plus (ii) 9,768,750 shares held by GHV Sponsor which is controlled indirectly by Mr. Gores. Mr. Gores ultimately exercises voting and dispositive power of the securities held by GHV Sponsor. Voting and disposition decisions with respect to such securities are made by Mr. Gores. Mr. Gores disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.

•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has entered into a Subscription Agreement with AMPSA and GHV, pursuant to which the GHV Sponsor has committed to purchase 2.5 million AMPSA Shares in the PIPE for an aggregate commitment of approximately $25 million, provided that the GHV Sponsor has the right to syndicate the AMPSA Shares purchased under such Subscription Agreement in advance of the Closing;
•
  that an affiliate of the GHV Sponsor, Mr. Alec E. Gores, has committed to purchase 159,500 AMPSA Shares in the PIPE for an aggregate commitment of approximately $1,595,000 in connection with the syndication by the GHV Sponsor of its portion of the PIPE; and
•
  the fact that the GHV Sponsor has committed to acquire up to 9.5 million AMPSA Shares at a per share price of $10.00 in the event that there are redemptions from the Trust Account that are in excess of $1 million.

The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.

Under Delaware law, officers and directors owe the following duties:

i.
  duty to act in good faith, with the care of a prudent person, and in the best interest of the corporation as a whole.
ii.
  duty to refrain from self-dealing, usurping corporate opportunities and receiving improper personal benefits
iii.
  duty to make decisions on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action was taken in the best interest of the corporation and that these decisions will be protected by the "business judgment rule."

In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

•
  the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
•
  the opportunity is within the corporation's line of business; and

246

•
  it would not be fair to the corporation and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.

Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. Furthermore, our current certificate of incorporation provides that the doctrine of corporate opportunity will not apply with respect to any of our officers or directors in circumstances where the application of the doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have. Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our executive officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may present a conflict of interest:

Jeffrey Rea |  | Gores Holdings VIII, Inc.(1) |  | Investments |  | Director
|  | BMC Stock Holdings, Inc. |  | Construction Supply Company |  | Director

(1)
  This entity's amended and restated charter contains a waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine. Accordingly, there is no conflicting obligation to bring opportunities to this entity before the Company.

Accordingly, if any of the above executive officers or directors become aware of an initial business combination opportunity which is suitable for any of the above entities to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor these obligations to present such initial business combination opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity. We do not believe, however, that any of the foregoing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations will materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination. Our current certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her

247

capacity as a director or officer of our Company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue.

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, executive officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with such a company, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA, or from an independent accounting firm, that such an initial business combination is fair to our Company from a financial point of view.

Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their shares of GHV Common Stock in favor of the Merger Proposal.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our current certificate of incorporation provides that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our current certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.

We have entered into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our current certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws also permit us to maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. We have obtained a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

GHV MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

References in this section to "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "GHV" generally refer to GHV.

The following discussion and analysis of GHV's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with its audited financial statements (as restated), its unaudited, interim financial statements and the notes related to each of such financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

GHV is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated on June 25, 2020 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination with one or more target businesses. GHV completed its IPO on August 10, 2020.

GHV presently has no revenue, has had losses since inception from incurring formation costs and has had no operations other than the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a business combination.

Since completing its IPO, GHV reviewed a number of opportunities to enter into a business combination with an operating business. GHV intends to effectuate a business combination using cash from the proceeds of its IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, its capital stock, debt, or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

Recent Developments

Proposed Business Combination

On February 22, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement, by and among the Company, Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A., Ardagh Group S.A. and Ardagh MP MergeCo Inc., which provides for, among other things: (a) a series of transactions that will result in the subsidiaries of AGSA that are engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling metal beverage cans and ends and providing related technical and customer services becoming wholly owned by AMPSA, and (b) the merger of MergeCo with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMPSA.

The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the GHV Board on February 22, 2021 and the Board of Directors of AGSA on February 22, 2021.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, GHV had net income of $2,002,455, of which $7,705,000 is non-cash gains related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability. For the period from June 25, 2020 to December 31, 2020, GHV had a net loss of ($12,665,551), of which ($12,014,806) are expenses related to warrant liability costs and issuance costs allocated to the GHV Warrants. GHV's business activities during the quarter mainly consisted of identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates for a business combination. GHV believes that it has sufficient funds available to complete its efforts to effect an initial business combination with an operating business by August 10, 2022. However, if GHV's estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, GHV may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to its initial business combination.

250

As indicated in the accompanying unaudited financial statements, at March 31, 2021, GHV had $124,083 in cash and deferred offering costs of $18,375,000 and at December 31, 2020, GHV had $705,817 in cash and deferred offering costs of $18,375,000. Further, GHV expects to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of its acquisition plans. GHV cannot assure you that its plans to complete the Merger will be successful.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On July 14, 2020, the GHV Sponsor purchased 11,500,000 GHV Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. Subsequently, the GHV Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 GHV Founder Shares to GHV's independent directors. On August 5, 2020, GHV effected a stock dividend with respect to GHV Founder Shares of 2,156,250 shares thereof, resulting in the Initial Stockholders holding an aggregate of 13,656,250 shares of GHV Class F Common Stock. On September 21, 2020, the GHV Sponsor forfeited 531,250 GHV Founder Shares following the expiration of the unexercised portion of underwriters' over-allotment option, so that the GHV Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders would represent 20.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock following completion of the IPO.

On August 10, 2020, GHV consummated its IPO of 52,500,000 GHV Units at a price of $10.00 per GHV Unit, including 5,000,000 GHV Units as a result of the underwriters' partial exercise of its over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $525,000,000. On the IPO Closing Date, GHV completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,250,000 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of GHV Common Stock at $11.50 per share, to the GHV Sponsor, at a price of $2.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $12,500,000. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the Deferred Discount, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the Merger, if consummated) and the estimated offering expenses, the total net proceeds from GHV's IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were $526,055,000, of which $525,000,000 (or $10.00 per share sold in GHV's IPO) was placed in the Trust Account. The amount of proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account was $1,055,000 at the closing of the IPO. Interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account may be released to GHV to fund its Regulatory Withdrawals, for a maximum of 24 months and/or additional amounts necessary to pay its franchise and income taxes.

On July 14, 2020, GHV borrowed $300,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note from the GHV Sponsor for $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO. This note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2021 or the completion of the IPO. This note was repaid in full upon the completion of the IPO.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, GHV had cash held outside of the Trust Account of approximately $124,083 and $705,817, respectively, which is available to fund its working capital requirements. Additionally, interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account may be released to us to fund GHV's Regulatory Withdrawals, for a maximum of 24 months and/or additional amounts necessary to pay GHV's franchise and income taxes.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, GHV had current liabilities of $31,489,936 and $34,235,359, respectively, and working capital of ($31,012,963) and ($33,175,454), respectively, the balances of which are primarily related to warrants GHV has recorded as liabilities. Other amounts related to accrued expenses owed to professionals, consultants, advisors and others who are working on seeking a business combination.

GHV intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of Regulatory Withdrawals and taxes payable) to consummate a business combination. Moreover, GHV may need to obtain additional financing either to complete a business combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of shares of GHV

251

Common Stock upon completion of a business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, GHV would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of a business combination. If GHV is unable to complete a business combination because it does not have sufficient funds available to it, GHV will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following the Merger, if cash on hand is insufficient, GHV may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations. To the extent that GHV's capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, in connection with the combination of the Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in GHV's Trust Account, if any, will be used as working capital to finance the operations (including growth strategy) of the combined company.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

At December 31, 2020, GHV had no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. GHV does not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

GHV has not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets.

Contractual obligations

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, GHV did not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities. In connection with the IPO, GHV entered into an administrative services agreement to pay monthly recurring expenses of $20,000 to The Gores Group for office space, utilities and secretarial support. The administrative services agreement terminates upon the earlier of the completion of a business combination or the liquidation of GHV.

The underwriters are entitled to underwriting discounts and commissions of 5.5% ($28,875,000), of which 2.0% ($10,500,000) was paid at the closing of the IPO, and 3.5% ($18,375,000) was deferred. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that GHV completes a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The underwriters are not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the period ended December 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year or any other period. While GHV was formed on June 25, 2020, there were no transactions or operations between inception and July 14, 2020. Therefore, these financials statements do not include comparative statements to prior 2020 periods.

252

Offering Costs

GHV complies with the requirements of the Accounting Standards Codification (the "ASC") 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A—"Expenses of Offering." Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO and were charged to stockholders' equity upon the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, offering costs totaling $28,771,349 were charged to equity. Since GHV is required to classify the GHV Warrants as derivative liabilities, offering costs totaling $792,306 that were previously recognized in equity are now reflected as an expense in the statement of operations.

Net loss per common share

GHV has two classes of shares, the GHV Class A Common Stock and the GHV Founder Shares. Net income/(loss) is shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants to purchase 16,750,000 shares of common stock at $11.50 per share were issued on August 10, 2020. At March 31, 2021, no warrants have been exercised. The 16,750,000 potential shares of GHV Class A Common Stock for outstanding GHV Warrants to purchase GHV's stock were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net income per common share is the same as basic net income per common share for the period.

Income Taxes

GHV follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

For those liabilities or benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. GHV recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2021.

GHV may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income amounts in various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, states or foreign tax laws.

253

GHV is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis.

Warrant Liability

GHV accounts for the GHV Warrants issued in connection with the IPO in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the GHV Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, GHV classifies the GHV Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in GHV's statement of operations. GHV utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation methodology to value the GHV Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The key assumptions in the option pricing model utilized are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The expected volatility as of the IPO date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable `blank-check' companies that recently went public in 2020 and 2021. The risk-free interest rate is based on the interpolated U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury yield. The expected term of the GHV Warrants is assumed to be six months until the closing of the Business Combination, and the contractual five year term subsequently. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which GHV anticipates to remain at zero.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

GHV management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on GHV's financial statements based on current operations of GHV. The impact of any recently issued accounting standards will be re-evaluated on a regular basis or if a business combination is completed where the impact could be material.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices. Our business activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the period ended December 31, 2020 consisted solely of organizational activities and activities relating to our IPO and the identification of a target company for our initial business combination. As of March 31, 2021, $525,033,518 (including accrued interest and dividends and subject to reduction by the Deferred Discount due at the consummation of the Merger) was held in the Trust Account for the purposes of consummating initial business combination. As of March 31, 2021, investment securities in the Trust Account consists of $525,033,518 in money market funds. As of March 31, 2021, the effective annualized rate of return generated by our investments was approximately 0.0008%.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the period ended December 31, 2020. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed

254

to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, GHV's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of GHV's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020 and as of March 31, 2021. Based upon their evaluation at that earlier time, GHV's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer had concluded that GHV's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective. Subsequently, GHV's management re-evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of GHV's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020 and as of March 31, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, and in light of the SEC Staff Statement on April 12, 2021, GHV's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to the industry-wide issues and related insufficient risk assessment of the underlying accounting for certain instruments resulting in GHV's restatement of its financial statements, GHV's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2020 and as of March 31, 2021. While GHV has processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, GHV plans to enhance its system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to its financial statements, including through enhanced analyses by GHV's personnel and third-party professionals with whom GHV consults regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of GHV's remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and GHV can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

CERTAIN GHV RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

References in this section to "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "GHV" generally refer to GHV.

The Company's Related Party Transactions

GHV Founder Shares

On July 14, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 11,500,000 shares of GHV Class F Common Stock (the "GHV Founder Shares") for $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. Subsequently, our Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 GHV Founder Shares to each of the Company's three independent director nominees at their original purchase price. On August 5, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend with respect to its GHV Class F Common Stock of 2,156,250 shares thereof, resulting in an aggregate of 13,656,250 outstanding shares of GHV Class F Common Stock. The shares and the associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the dividend. The GHV Founder Shares are identical to the GHV Class A Common Stock included in the GHV Units sold in the IPO except that the GHV Founder Shares are convertible under the circumstances described below. The Sponsor has agreed to forfeit up to 1,781,250 GHV Founder Shares depending on the extent to which the over-allotment option is exercised. The GHV Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of GHV Class A Common Stock at the time of the Merger on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Private Placement Warrants

The Sponsor has purchased from the Company an aggregate of 6,250,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $2.00 per warrant (a purchase price of approximately $12,500,000) in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of GHV Class A Common Stock at $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account pending completion of a business combination.

The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants sold as part of the GHV Units in the IPO, except the Private Placement Warrants are not redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, except as otherwise provided in the Warrant Agreement.

If the Company does not complete a business combination, then the Private Placement Warrants proceeds will be part of the liquidation distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Registration Rights

The holders of the GHV Founder Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants issued upon the conversion of working capital loans, if any, hold registration rights (in the case of the GHV Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of GHV Class A Common Stock) pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreements. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Sponsor Loans

Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $300,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the "Note") issued by the Company in favor of the Sponsor to cover organization expenses and expenses related to the IPO. The Note was non-interest

256

bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2021 or the completion of the Public Offering. The Note was repaid in full on August 7, 2020.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an administrative services agreement pursuant to which it agreed to pay to an affiliate of the Sponsor $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial support. Services commenced on August 6, 2020 (the date the securities were first listed on Nasdaq) and will terminate upon the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a business combination or the liquidation of the Company.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company has paid the affiliate $60,000.

257

DESCRIPTION OF AMPSA'S SECURITIES

As a result of the Merger, GHV stockholders and AMPSA Shareholders who receive AMPSA Shares in the Merger will become AMPSA Shareholders. Your rights as AMPSA Shareholders will be governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and AMPSA's articles of association. The following description of the material terms of AMPSA's capital stock, including the AMPSA Shares to be issued in the Business Combination, reflects the anticipated state of affairs upon completion of the Merger. We urge you to read the applicable provisions of Luxembourg law and AMPSA's articles of association carefully and in their entirety because they describe your rights as a holder of AMPSA Shares. References in this section to "we", "our", "us", the "Company", or "AMPSA" generally refer to AMPSA and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Shares

Share Capital

AMPSA was incorporated on January 20, 2021 by AGSA, with an initial share capital of €30,000, represented by 3,000,000 AMPSA Shares with a nominal value of €0.01 per share.

Immediately prior to consummation of the Merger, AMPSA's issued share capital will equal €4,849,562.50, represented by 484,956,250 AMPSA Shares with a nominal value of €0.01 per share. All issued shares will be fully paid and subscribed for. The authorized capital of AMPSA (including the issued share capital) is set at €1,000,000,000, divided into 100,000,000,000 AMPSA Shares with a nominal value of €0.01 each.

A shareholder in a Luxembourg société anonyme holding fully paid up shares is not liable, solely because of his, her or its shareholder status, for additional payments to AMPSA or its creditors.

Share Issuances

Pursuant to Luxembourg law, the issuance of AMPSA Shares requires approval by the general meeting of shareholders subject to necessary quorum and majority requirements. The general meeting of shareholders may approve an authorized capital and authorize the board of directors to increase the issued share capital in one or several tranches with or without share premium, against payment in (i) cash, including the setting off of claims against AMPSA that are certain, due and payable, (ii) in kind, and (iii) reallocation of the share premium, profit reserves or other reserves of AMPSA, through issuance of shares, the granting of options to subscribe for shares, or the issuance of any other instruments convertible into or repayable by or exchangeable for shares (whether provided in the terms at issue or subsequently provided), the issuance of bonds with warrants or other rights to subscribe for shares attached, or the issuance of standalone warrants or any other instrument carrying an entitlement to, or the right to subscribe for, shares, up to a maximum of the authorized but as yet unissued share capital of AMPSA to such persons and on such terms as the board of directors determines in its absolute discretion. The board of directors can be authorized to remove or limit the statutory preferential subscription right of the shareholders in case of issue of shares up to the maximum amount of such authorized capital for a maximum period of five years after the date that the minutes of the relevant general meeting approving such authorization are published in the Luxembourg official gazette (Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations, "RESA"). The general meeting may amend, renew, or extend such authorized capital and such authorization to the board of directors to issue shares.

AMPSA's shareholders have authorized the board of directors to issue shares up to the maximum amount of the authorized unissued share capital of the AMPSA and to limit or withdraw any and all statutory preemptive rights which would be applicable in respect of such issuance for a period of five years from July 8, 2021, to such persons, on such terms and for such consideration as the board of directors determines in its absolute discretion. Shareholders may at a general meeting renew or extend such authorized share capital and authorization to the board of directors to issue shares.

258

In addition, the general meeting of shareholders may authorize the board of directors to make an allotment of existing or newly issued shares without consideration to (a) employees of AMPSA or certain categories amongst those; (b) employees of companies or economic interest grouping in which AMPSA holds directly or indirectly at least ten per cent (10%) of the share capital or voting rights; (c) employees of companies or economic interest grouping holding directly or indirectly at least ten per cent (10%) of the share capital or voting rights of AMPSA (d) employees of companies or economic interest grouping in which at least fifty per cent (50%) of the share capital or voting rights is held directly or indirectly by a company which holds directly or indirectly at least fifty per cent (50%) of the share capital of AMPSA; (e) corporate officers of AMPSA or of the companies or economic interest grouping listed in points (b) to (d) above or certain categories amongst those, for a maximum period of five years after the date that the minutes of the relevant general meeting approving such authorization are published in the RESA.

AMPSA's Articles authorize the board of directors to issue shares free of charge within the limitations set out in article 430-15 of the Luxembourg law of August 10, 1915 on commercial companies, as amended (the "1915 Law").

AMPSA recognizes only one (1) holder per share. In case a share is owned by several persons, AMPSA shall treat the first named holder on the register of shareholders as having been appointed by the joint holders to receive all notices and to give a binding receipt for any dividend(s) payable in respect of such share(s) on behalf of all joint holders, without prejudice to the rights of the other holders to information as set out in the 1915 Law.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, the board of directors will resolve on the issuance of AMPSA Shares out of the authorized capital (capital autorisé) in accordance with the quorum and voting thresholds set forth in the articles of association and applicable law. The board of directors will also resolve on the applicable procedures and timelines to which such issuance will be subjected. If the proposal of the board of directors to issue new AMPSA Shares exceeds the limits of AMPSA's authorized share capital, the board of directors must then convene the shareholders to an extraordinary general meeting to be held in front of a Luxembourg notary for the purpose of increasing the issued share capital. Such meeting will be subject to the quorum and majority requirements required for amending AMPSA's Articles. If the capital call proposed by the board of directors consists of an increase in the shareholders' commitments, the board of directors must convene the shareholders to an extraordinary general meeting to be held in front of a Luxembourg notary for such purpose. Such meeting will be subject to the unanimous consent of the shareholders.

Preemptive Rights

Under Luxembourg law, existing shareholders benefit from a preemptive subscription right on the issuance of shares for cash consideration. However, AMPSA's shareholders have, in accordance with Luxembourg law, authorized the board of directors to suppress, waive, or limit any preemptive subscription rights of shareholders provided by law to the extent that the board of directors deems such suppression, waiver, or limitation advisable for any issuance or issuances of shares within the scope of AMPSA's authorized share capital. The general meeting of shareholders duly convened to consider an amendment to the articles of association also may, by two-thirds majority vote, limit, waive, or cancel such preemptive rights or renew, amend, or extend them, in each case for a period not to exceed five years. Such shares may be issued above, at, or below market value, and, following a certain procedure, even below the nominal value or below the accounting par value per share. The shares also may be issued by way of incorporation of available reserves, including share premium.

259

Share Repurchases

AMPSA cannot subscribe for its own shares. AMPSA may, however, repurchase issued shares or have another person repurchase issued shares for its account, subject to the following conditions:

•
  prior authorization by a simple majority vote at an ordinary general meeting of shareholders, which authorization sets forth:
  •
    the terms and conditions of the proposed repurchase and in particular the maximum number of shares to be repurchased;
  •
    the duration of the period for which the authorization is given, which may not exceed five years; and
  •
    in the case of repurchase for consideration, the minimum and maximum consideration per share, provided that the prior authorization shall not apply in the case of shares acquired by either AMPSA, or by a person acting in his or her own name on its behalf, for the distribution thereof to its staff or to the staff of a company with which it is in a control relationship;
•
  only fully paid-up shares may be repurchased;
•
  the voting and dividend rights attached to the repurchased shares will be suspended as long as the repurchased shares are held by AMPSA; and the acquisition offer must be made on the same terms and conditions to all the shareholders who are in the same position, except for acquisitions which were unanimously decided by a general meeting at which all the shareholders were present or represented. In addition, listed companies may repurchase their own shares on the stock exchange without an acquisition offer having to be made to AMPSA's shareholders.

The authorization will be valid for a period ending on the earlier of five years from the date of such shareholder authorization and the date of its renewal by a subsequent general meeting of shareholders. Pursuant to such authorization, the board of directors is authorized to acquire and sell AMPSA's shares under the conditions set forth in article 430-15 of the 1915 Law, which are described above. Such purchases and sales may be carried out for any authorized purpose or any purpose that is authorized by the laws and regulations in force.

The articles of association of AMPSA authorize the board of directors to purchase AMPSA's own shares in accordance with Luxembourg law on such terms and in such manner as may be authorized by the general meeting of shareholders in an ordinary resolution, subject to the rules of any stock exchange on which AMPSA's shares are traded. The articles provide that the board of directors is authorized for a period of 5 years from July 8, 2021 to make (i) open market repurchases of shares subject to certain conditions and (ii) repurchases of shares other than as described in (i) where the same terms are offered to all shareholders in a similar situation.

In addition, pursuant to Luxembourg law, AMPSA may directly or indirectly repurchase shares by resolution of its board of directors without the prior approval of the general meeting of shareholders if such repurchase is deemed by the board of directors to be necessary to prevent serious and imminent harm to AMPSA, or if the acquisition of shares has been made with the intent of distribution to its employees and/or the employees of any entity having a controlling relationship with it (i.e., its subsidiaries or controlling shareholder) or in any of the circumstances listed in article 430-16 of the 1915 Law.

Voting rights

Each AMPSA Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote. Neither Luxembourg law nor AMPSA's Articles contain any restrictions as to the voting of AMPSA Shares by non-Luxembourg

260

residents. The 1915 Law distinguishes general meetings of shareholders and extraordinary general meetings of shareholders with respect to voting rights.

Meetings

Ordinary General Meeting

At an ordinary general meeting, the holders in excess of one-third (1/3) of the share capital in issue present in person or by proxy shall form a quorum and resolutions are adopted by a simple majority of validly cast votes. Abstentions are not considered "votes."

Extraordinary General Meeting

Extraordinary resolutions are required for any of the following matters, among others: (i) an increase or decrease of the authorized or issued capital, (ii) a limitation or exclusion of preemptive rights, (iii) approval of a statutory merger or de-merger (scission), (iv) AMPSA's dissolution and liquidation, (v) any and all amendments to AMPSA's articles of association and (vi) change of nationality. Pursuant to AMPSA's articles of association, for any resolutions to be considered at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, the quorum shall be at least one half of AMPSA's issued share capital unless otherwise mandatorily required by law. If the said quorum is not present, a second meeting may be convened, for which the 1915 Law does not prescribe a quorum. Any extraordinary resolution shall be adopted at a quorate general meeting, except otherwise provided by law, by at least a two-thirds majority of the votes validly cast on such resolution by shareholders. Abstentions are not considered "votes."

Annual Shareholders Meetings

An annual general meeting of shareholders shall be held in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg within 6 months of the end of the preceding financial year, except for the first annual general meeting of shareholders which may be held within 18 months from incorporation.

Warrants

Pursuant to the Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement, GHV will assign to AMPSA all of GHV's right, title and interest in and to the existing Warrant Agreement and AMPSA will assume, and agree to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge in full, all of GHV's liabilities and obligations under the existing Warrant Agreement arising from and after the Merger Effective Time.

Each AMPSA Warrant is exercisable to subscribe for one AMPSA Share and only whole warrants are exercisable. The exercise price of the AMPSA Warrants is $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the Warrant Agreement. An AMPSA Warrant may be exercised only during the period commencing on the later of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days after the consummation of the Merger, or (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of the IPO, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the earlier to occur of: (x) the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Merger is completed, or (y) the redemption date as provided in Section 6.3 of the Warrant Agreement.

Redemptions of warrants for cash

Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, once the public warrants become exercisable, they may be redeemed (i) in whole and not in part, (ii) at a price of $0.01 per warrant, (iii) upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder, and (iv) if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the AMPSA Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before sending the notice of redemption to each warrant holder.

261

If the public warrants are called for redemption for cash, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the public warrants to do so on a "cashless basis," as described in the Warrant Agreement.

Redemption of warrants for shares

Commencing ninety days after the warrants become exercisable, AMPSA may redeem the outstanding warrants (i) in whole and not in part, (ii) upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption at a price equal to a number of shares to be determined by reference to the table contained in Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreement, based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the shares, (iii) if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the AMPSA Shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is sent, (iv) if, and only if, the private warrants are also concurrently exchanged at the same price (equal to a number of AMPSA Shares) as the outstanding public warrants, and (v) if, and only if, there is an effective registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating thereto is available throughout the 30-day period after the written notice of redemption is given.

The private warrants are identical to the public warrants, except that the private warrants and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the private warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Merger, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the private warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable (except as mentioned above) so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the private warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants.

The foregoing description of the AMPSA Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warrant Agreement, filed hereto as Exhibit 10.7, and the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement, filed hereto as Exhibit 10.6, and incorporated herein by reference.

Dividends

From the annual net profits of AMPSA, at least 5% shall each year be allocated to the reserve required by applicable laws (the "Legal Reserve"). That allocation to the Legal Reserve will cease to be required as soon and as long as the Legal Reserve amounts to 10% of the amount of the share capital of AMPSA. The general meeting of shareholders shall resolve how the remainder of the annual net profits, after allocation to the Legal Reserve, will be disposed of by allocating the whole or part of the remainder to a reserve or to a provision, by carrying it forward to the next following financial year or by distributing it, together with carried forward profits, distributable reserves or share premium to the shareholders, each AMPSA Share entitling to the same proportion in such distributions.

The board of directors may resolve that AMPSA pays out an interim dividend to the shareholders, subject to the conditions of article 461-3 of the 1915 Law and AMPSA's articles of association. The board of directors shall set the amount and the date of payment of the interim dividend. Any interim dividends declared by the board of directors and paid during a financial year will be put to the shareholders at the following general meeting to be declared as final.

Subject to applicable laws and regulations, in order for AMPSA to determine which shareholders shall be entitled to receipt of any dividend, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date will be the close of business (or such other time as the board of directors may determine) on the date determined by the board of directors. In the absence of a record date being fixed, the record date

262

for determining shareholders entitled to receipt of any dividend shall the close of business in Luxembourg on the day the dividend is declared.

Any share premium, assimilated premium or other distributable reserve may be freely distributed to the shareholders subject to the provisions of the 1915 Law and AMPSA's articles of association. In case of a dividend payment, each shareholder is entitled to receive a dividend right pro rata according to his or her respective shareholding. The dividend entitlement lapses upon the expiration of a five-year prescription period from the date of the dividend distribution. The unclaimed dividends return to AMPSA's accounts.

COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS

|  | Delaware |  | Luxembourg
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL OF BUSINESS COMBINATIONS |  | Generally, under the DGCL, completion of a merger, consolidation, dissolution, or the sale, lease, or exchange of substantially all of a corporation's assets requires approval by the board of directors and by a majority (unless the certificate of incorporation requires a higher percentage) of outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote. Mergers in which less than 20% of the acquirer's stock is issued generally do not require acquirer stockholder approval. Mergers in which one corporation owns 90% or more of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation's board of directors or stockholders. The DGCL also requires a special vote of stockholders in connection with a business combination with an "interested stockholder" as defined in section 203 of the DGCL. |  | Under Luxembourg law and the articles of association, the board of directors has the broadest powers to take any action necessary or useful to achieve the company's purpose. The board of directors' powers are limited only by law and AMPSA's articles of association. Any type of dissolution, voluntary liquidation or business combination that would require an amendment to the articles of association, such as a merger or de-merger, requires an extraordinary resolution of a general meeting of shareholders. Transactions such as a sale, lease, or exchange of substantial company assets require only the approval of the board of directors. Neither Luxembourg law nor AMPSA's articles of association contain any provision requiring the board of directors to obtain shareholder approval of a sale, lease, or exchange of substantial assets of AMPSA.
SPECIAL VOTE REQUIRED FOR COMBINATIONS WITH INTERESTED SHAREHOLDERS |  | Section 203 of the DGCL generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in specified corporate transactions (such as mergers, stock and asset sales, and loans) with an "interested stockholder" for three years following the time that the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Subject to specified exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person or group that owns 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock (including any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement, or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights, and stock with respect to which the person has voting rights only), or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the voting stock at any time within the previous three years. |  | Under Luxembourg law, no restriction exists as to the transactions that a shareholder may engage in with AMPSA. The transaction must, however, be in AMPSA's corporate interest, which for instance requires that the transactions are made on arm's length terms.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN |  | Under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of a corporation may give the board of directors the right to issue new classes of preferred shares with voting, conversion, dividend distribution, and other rights to be determined by the board of directors at the time of issuance, which could prevent a takeover attempt and thereby preclude stockholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares. In addition, Delaware law does not prohibit a corporation from adopting a stockholder rights plan, or "poison pill," which could prevent a takeover attempt and also preclude stockholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares. |  | Pursuant to Luxembourg law, the shareholders may create an authorized share capital which allows the board of directors to increase the issued share capital in one or several tranches with or without share premium, against payment in (i) cash, including the setting off of claims against AMPSA that are certain, due and payable, (ii) in kind, and (iii) reallocation of the share premium, profit reserves or other reserves of AMPSA, through issuance of shares, the granting of options to subscribe for shares, or the issuance of any other instruments convertible into or repayable by or exchangeable for shares (whether provided in the terms at issue or subsequently provided), the issuance of bonds with warrants or other rights to subscribe for shares attached, or the issuance of standalone warrants or any other instrument carrying an entitlement to, or the right to subscribe for, shares, up to a maximum of the authorized but as yet unissued share capital of AMPSA to such persons and on such terms as the board of directors determines in its absolute discretion. The board of directors may be further authorized to, under certain conditions, limit, restrict, or waive preferential subscription rights of existing shareholders when issuing new shares within the authorized share capital. The rights attached to the new shares issued within the authorized share capital will be equal to those attached to existing shares and set forth in the articles of association. In addition, the board of directors may be further authorized to make an allotment of existing or newly issued shares without consideration to (a) employees of AMPSA or certain categories amongst those; (b) employees of companies or economic interest grouping in which AMPSA holds directly or indirectly at least ten per cent (10%) of the share capital or voting rights; (c) employees of companies or economic interest grouping holding directly or indirectly at least ten per cent (10%) of the share capital or voting rights of AMPSA (d) employees of companies or economic interest grouping in which at least fifty per cent (50%) of the share capital or voting rights is held directly or indirectly by a company which holds directly or indirectly at least fifty per cent (50%) of the share capital of AMPSA; (e) corporate officers of AMPSA or of the companies or economic interest grouping listed in point (b) to (d) above or certain categories amongst those.

|  |  |  | The authorization to the board of directors to issue additional shares or other instruments as described above within the authorized share capital (and to limit, restrict, or waive, as the case may be, preferential subscription rights) as well as the authorization to allot shares without consideration may be valid for a period of up to five years, starting from either the date of the minutes of the extraordinary general meeting resolving upon such authorization or starting from the date of the publication of the minutes of the extraordinary general meeting resolving upon such authorization in the Luxembourg official gazette (Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations "RESA"). The authorization may be renewed, increased or reduced by a resolution of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, with the quorum and majority rules set for the amendment of the articles of association. AMPSA's articles of association authorize its board of directors to issue new AMPSA Shares, to grant options to subscribe for new AMPSA Shares, to issue any other instruments convertible into or repayable by or exchangeable for new AMPSA Shares (whether provided in the terms at issue or subsequently provided), to issue bonds with warrants or other rights to subscribe for new AMPSA Shares attached, or through the issue of standalone warrants or any other instrument carrying an entitlement to, or the right to subscribe for, new AMPSA Shares, up to a maximum of the authorized but as yet unissued share capital of the Company to such persons and on such terms as the board of directors determines in its absolute discretion AMPSA for a period ending five years after July 8, 2021 unless such period is extended, amended or renewed. Accordingly, the board of directors is authorized to issue AMPSA Shares up to the limits of authorized share capital until such date. AMPSA currently intends to seek renewals and/or extensions as required from time to time.
APPRAISAL RIGHTS |  | Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a corporation participating in some types of major corporate transactions may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which the stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would otherwise receive in the transaction. |  | Neither Luxembourg law nor AMPSA's articles of association provide for appraisal rights.

SHAREHOLDER CONSENT TO ACTION WITHOUT MEETING |  | Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in a corporation's certificate of incorporation, any action that may be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if the holders of outstanding stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize such action, consent in writing. |  | A shareholder meeting must always be called if the matter to be considered requires a shareholder resolution under Luxembourg law or AMPSA's articles of association. Pursuant to Luxembourg law, shareholders of a public limited liability company may not take actions by written consent. All shareholder actions must be approved at an actual meeting of shareholders held before a Luxembourg notary public or under private seal, depending on the nature of the matter. Shareholders may vote in person, by proxy or, if the articles of association provide for that possibility, by correspondence. The articles of association of AMPSA provide for the possibility of vote in writing (by way of a voting form provided by the Company) on resolutions submitted to the general meeting, provided that the voting form includes (a) the name, first name, address and the signature of the relevant AMPSA Shareholder, (b) the indication of the shares for which the AMPSA Shareholder will exercise such right, (c) the agenda as set forth in the convening notice and (d) the voting instructions (approval, refusal, abstention) for each point of the agenda

MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS |  | GHV's bylaws provide that annual meetings of stockholders are to be held on a date and at a time fixed by the board of directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. Under the DGCL, a special meeting of stockholders may be called by the board of directors or by any other person authorized to do so in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws. GHV's bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock and the requirement of applicable law, a special meeting of the stockholders of GHV may be called only by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of GHV, Chief Executive Officer, or the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the board of directors, and may not be called by any other person. Under the DGCL, a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws can specify the number of shares that constitute the quorum required to conduct business at a meeting, provided that in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting. GHV's bylaws provide that at a stockholders meeting the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of GHV representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of GHV entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. |  | Pursuant to Luxembourg law, at least one general meeting of shareholders must be held each year, within six months as from the close of the financial year. The purpose of such annual general meeting is to approve the annual accounts, allocate the results, proceed to statutory appointments and resolve on the discharge of the directors. Other general meetings of shareholders may be convened. Luxembourg law distinguishes between ordinary resolutions to be adopted and extraordinary resolutions to be adopted by the general meeting of shareholders. Extraordinary resolutions relate to proposed amendments to the articles of association and other limited matters. All other resolutions are ordinary resolutions. Pursuant to Luxemburg law, there is no requirement of a quorum for any ordinary resolutions to be considered at a general meeting and such ordinary resolutions shall be adopted by a simple majority of votes validly cast on such resolution. The articles of association of AMPSA provide that ordinary general meetings (including the annual general meeting) the holders of in excess of one-third (1/3) of the share capital in issue present in person or by proxy shall form a quorum for the transaction of business and ordinary resolutions are approved by the affirmative votes of a simple majority of the votes validly cast. Abstentions are not considered "votes." Extraordinary resolutions are required for, among others, any of the following matters: (i) an increase or decrease of the authorized or issued share capital, (ii) a limitation or exclusion of preemptive rights, (iii) approval of a statutory merger or de-merger (scission), (iv) dissolution, (v) an amendment of the articles of association and (vi) change of nationality. Pursuant to Luxembourg law for any extraordinary resolutions to be considered at a general meeting, the quorum shall be at least one half (50%) of the issued share capital. If the said quorum is not present, a second meeting may be convened at which Luxembourg law does not prescribe a quorum. Any extraordinary resolution shall be adopted at a quorate general meeting (except as otherwise provided by mandatory law) by a two-thirds majority of the votes validly cast on such resolution by shareholders. Abstentions are not considered "votes."

268

|  |  |  | 1915 Law provides that if, as a result of losses, net assets fall below half of the share capital of the company, the board of directors shall convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders so that it is held within a period not exceeding two months from the time at which the loss was or should have been ascertained by them and such meeting shall resolve on the possible dissolution of the company and possibly on other measures announced in the agenda. The board of directors shall, in such situation, draw up a special report which sets out the causes of that situation and justify its proposals eight days before the extraordinary general meeting. If it proposes to continue to conduct business, it shall set out in the report the measures it intends to take in order to remedy the financial situation of the company. The same rules apply if, as a result of losses, net assets fall below one-quarter of the share capital provided that in such case dissolution shall take place if approved by one-fourth of the votes casts at the extraordinary general meeting.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND DIVIDENDS; REPURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS |  | Under the DGCL, the board of directors, subject to any restrictions in the corporation's certificate of incorporation, may declare and pay dividends out of: • surplus of the corporation, which is defined as net assets less statutory capital; or • if no surplus exists, out of the net profits of the corporation for the year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding year. If, however, the capital of the corporation has been diminished by depreciation in the value of its property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, the board of directors shall not declare and pay dividends out of the corporation's net profits until the deficiency in the capital has been repaired. Under the DGCL, any corporation may purchase or redeem its own shares, except that generally it may not purchase or redeem these shares if such repurchase or redemption would impair the capital of the corporation. A corporation may, however, purchase or redeem out of capital any of its own shares which are entitled upon any distribution of its assets to a preference over another class or series of its shares if such shares will be retired and the capital reduced. Pursuant to the GHV Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, GHV will provide all holders of shares of GHV Common Stock included as part of the units sold in the IPO with the opportunity to have their shares redeemed upon the consummation of the Merger for cash equal to the applicable redemption price per share; provided, however, that the GHV will only redeem or repurchase such shares so long as (after such redemption) GHV's net tangible assets will be in excess of $5 million or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the Business Combination Agreement either immediately prior to or upon the consummation of the Merger. It is a condition to closing under the Business Combination Agreement that GHV has, in the aggregate, at least $685,000,000 of available cash upon the consummation of the Merger. |  | Under Luxembourg law, the amount and payment of annual dividends or other distributions is determined by a simple majority vote at a general shareholders' meeting based on the recommendation of the board of directors. Pursuant to AMPSA's articles of association, the board of directors has the power to pay interim dividends or make other distributions in accordance with applicable Luxembourg law. Distributions may be lawfully declared and paid if AMPSA's net profits and/or distributable reserves are sufficient under Luxembourg law. All AMPSA Shares rank pari passu with respect to the payment of dividends or other distributions unless the right to dividends or other distributions has been suspended in accordance with AMPSA's articles of association or applicable law. Under Luxembourg law, at least 5% of AMPSA's net profits per year must be allocated to the creation of a legal reserve until such reserve has reached an amount equal to 10% of AMPSA's issued share capital. The allocation to the legal reserve becomes compulsory again when the legal reserve no longer represents 10% of AMPSA's issued share capital. The legal reserve is not available for distribution. Pursuant to Luxembourg law, AMPSA (or any party acting on its behalf) may repurchase its own shares and hold them in treasury, provided that: • the shareholders at a general meeting have previously authorized the board of directors to acquire its shares. The general meeting shall determine the terms and conditions of the proposed acquisition and in particular the maximum number of shares to be acquired, the period for which the authorization is given (which may not exceed five years), and, in the case of acquisition for value, the maximum and minimum consideration;

270

|  | Delaware |  | Luxembourg
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
|  |  |  | • the acquisitions, including shares previously acquired by AMPSA and held by it and shares acquired by a person acting in his or her own name but on AMPSA's behalf, may not have the effect of reducing the net assets below the amount of the issued share capital plus the reserves (which may not be distributed by law or under the articles of association); • the shares repurchased are fully paid-up; and • the acquisition offer must be made on the same terms and conditions to all the shareholders who are in the same position, except for acquisitions which were unanimously decided by a general meeting at which all the shareholders were present or represented. In addition, listed companies may repurchase their own shares on the stock exchange without an acquisition offer having to be made to AMPSA's shareholders. No prior authorization by shareholders is required (i) if the acquisition is made to prevent serious and imminent harm to AMPSA, provided that the board of directors informs the next general meeting of the reasons for and the purpose of the acquisitions made, the number and nominal values or the accounting value of the shares acquired, the proportion of the subscribed capital which they represent, and the consideration paid for them, and (ii) in the case of shares acquired by either AMPSA or by a person acting on its behalf with a view to redistributing the shares to its staff or staff of its controlled subsidiaries, provided that the distribution of such shares is made within twelve months from their acquisition. Luxembourg law provides for further situations in which the above conditions do not apply, including the acquisition of shares pursuant to a decision to reduce AMPSA's share capital or the acquisition of shares issued as redeemable shares. Such acquisitions may not have the effect of reducing net assets below the aggregate of subscribed capital and reserves (which may not be distributed by law) and are subject to specific provisions on reductions in share capital and redeemable shares under Luxembourg law. Any shares acquired in contravention of the above provisions must be resold within a period of one year after the acquisition or be cancelled at the expiration of the one-year period. As long as shares are held in treasury, the voting rights attached thereto are suspended. Further, to the extent the treasury shares are reflected as assets on AMPSA's balance sheet a non-distributable reserve of the same amount must be reflected as a liability. AMPSA's articles of association provide that AMPSA Shares may be acquired in accordance with the law.

271

|  | Delaware |  | Luxembourg
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
|  |  |  | The articles of association of AMPSA authorize the board of directors to purchase AMPSA's own shares in accordance with Luxembourg law on such terms and in such manner as may be authorized by the general meeting of shareholders in an ordinary resolution, subject to the rules of any stock exchange on which AMPSA's shares are traded. The articles provide that the board of directors is authorized for a period of 5 years from July 8, 2021 to make (i) open market repurchases of shares subject to certain conditions and (ii) repurchases of shares other than as described in (i) where the same terms are offered to all shareholders in a similar situation.
NUMBER OF DIRECTORS |  | A typical certificate of incorporation and bylaws would provide that the number of directors on the board of directors will be fixed from time to time by a vote of the majority of the authorized directors. The board of directors consists of four directors, divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year, and each class serving a three-year term. |  | Pursuant to Luxembourg law, the AMPSA board must be composed of at least three directors. They are appointed by the general meeting of shareholders (by proposal of the board of directors, the shareholders, or a spontaneous candidacy) by a simple majority of the votes cast. Directors may be reelected, but the term of their office may not exceed six years. AMPSA's articles of association provide that the board of directors shall be composed of at least three directors and no more than fifteen directors, to be elected by a simple majority vote at a general meeting. Abstentions are not considered "votes."
VACANCIES ON BOARD OF DIRECTORS |  | The GHV Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the board of directors may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders). Any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until such director's successor has been duly elected and qualified. |  | Under Luxembourg law in case of vacancy of the office of a director appointed by the general meeting, unless the vacancy results from the removal of a director by the shareholders, the remaining directors so appointed may fill the vacancy on a provisional basis. In such circumstances, the next general meeting shall make the final appointment. The decision to fill a vacancy is taken by the remaining directors by simple majority vote. AMPSA's articles of association provide that in case of a vacancy the remaining members of the board of directors may elect a director to fill the vacancy. A director so appointed shall be appointed to the class of directors that the director he or she is replacing belonged to, provided that such director shall hold office only until ratification by the shareholders of his or her appointment at the next following general meeting and, if such general meeting does not ratify the appointment, such director shall vacate his or her office at the conclusion thereof.

272

--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS; STAGGERED TERM OF DIRECTORS |  | Under Delaware law, a board of directors can be divided into classes. The board of directors is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. The GHV Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that any or all directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. |  | Under Luxembourg law, a director may be removed by the general meeting of shareholders (by proposal of the board of directors, the shareholders, or a spontaneous request) by a simple majority of the votes cast, with or without cause. AMPSA's articles of association will provide for three different classes of directors designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The Class I Directors are appointed for a one (1) year term of office, the Class II Directors are appointed for a two (2) year term of office and the Class III Directors are appointed for a three (3) year term of office. At each succeeding annual general meeting, successors to the class of Directors whose term expires at that annual general meeting shall be elected for a three (3) year term of office.
COMMITTEES |  | GHV's bylaws authorizes the board of directors to designate one or more committees by resolution of the Board. Each committee is to consist of one or more directors. |  | AMPSA's articles of association provide that the board of directors may set up committees and determine their composition, powers, and rules.
CUMULATIVE VOTING |  | Under the DGCL, a corporation may adopt in its certificate of incorporation that its directors shall be elected by cumulative voting. When directors are elected by cumulative voting, a stockholder has a number of votes equal to the number of shares held by such stockholder multiplied by the number of directors nominated for election. The stockholder may cast all of such votes for one director or among the directors in any proportion. GHV has not adopted cumulative voting rights. |  | Not applicable.

273

--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
AMENDMENT OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTS |  | Under the DGCL, a certificate of incorporation may be amended if: • the board of directors sets forth the proposed amendment in a resolution, declares the advisability of the amendment and directs that it be submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders; and • the holders of at least a majority of shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter approve the amendment, unless the certificate of incorporation requires the vote of a greater number of shares. In addition, under the DGCL, class voting rights exist with respect to amendments to the charter that adversely affect the terms of the shares of a class. Class voting rights do not exist as to other extraordinary matters, unless the charter provides otherwise. Under the DGCL, the board of directors may amend a corporation's bylaws if so authorized in the charter. The stockholders of a Delaware corporation also have the power to amend bylaws. |  | Under Luxembourg law, amendments to AMPSA's articles of association require an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held in front of a Luxembourg notary at which at least one half (50%) of the share capital is present or represented. The notice of the extraordinary general meeting shall set out the proposed amendments to the articles of association. If the aforementioned quorum is not reached, a second meeting may be convened by means of a notice published in the Luxembourg official electronic gazette (RESA) and in a Luxembourg newspaper 15 days before the meeting. The second meeting shall be validly constituted regardless of the proportion of the share capital present or represented. At both meetings, resolutions will be adopted if approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders (unless otherwise required by Luxembourg law or the articles of association). Where classes of shares exist and the resolution to be adopted by the general meeting of shareholders changes the respective rights attaching to such shares, the resolution will be adopted only if the conditions as to quorum and majority set out above are fulfilled with respect to each class of shares. An increase of the commitments of its shareholders requires the unanimous consent of the shareholders. AMPSA's articles of association provide that for any extraordinary resolutions to be considered at a general meeting, the quorum shall be at least one-half of AMPSA's issued share capital. If the said quorum is not present, a second meeting may be convened at which Luxembourg law does not prescribe a quorum. Any extraordinary resolution shall be adopted at a quorate general meeting (save as otherwise provided by mandatory law) by a two-thirds majority of the votes validly cast on such resolution by shareholders. Abstentions are not considered "votes."

|  |  |  | In very limited circumstances, the board of directors may be authorized by the shareholders to amend the articles of association, albeit always within the limits set forth by the shareholders at a duly convened shareholders' meeting. This is the case in the context of AMPSA's authorized share capital within which the board of directors is authorized to issue further AMPSA Shares. The board of directors is then authorized to appear in front of a Luxembourg notary to record the capital increase and to amend the share capital set forth in the articles of association. The above also applies in case of the transfer of AMPSA's registered office outside the current municipality.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS |  | The DGCL generally permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a third-party action, other than a derivative action, and against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of a derivative action, provided that there is a determination made by the corporation that the individual acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Such determination shall be made, in the case of an individual who is a director or officer at the time of the determination: • by a majority of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; • by a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of disinterested, directors, even though less than a quorum; • by independent legal counsel, regardless of whether a quorum of disinterested directors exists; or • by the stockholders. Without court approval, however, no indemnification may be made in respect of any derivative action in which an individual is adjudged liable to the corporation. The DGCL requires indemnification of directors and officers for expenses relating to a successful defense on the merits or otherwise of a derivative or third-party action. The DGCL permits a corporation to advance expenses relating to the defense of any proceeding to directors and officers contingent upon those individuals' commitment to repay any advances, unless it is determined ultimately that those individuals are entitled to be indemnified. |  | Luxembourg law permits AMPSA to keep directors indemnified against any expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in connection with liability of a director towards AMPSA or a third party for management errors i.e., for wrongful acts committed during the execution of the mandate (mandat) granted to the director by AMPSA, except in connection with criminal offences, gross negligence or fraud.

LIMITED LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS |  | Delaware law permits limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit |  | Luxembourg law does not provide for an ex ante limitation of liability but it permits AMPSA to keep directors indemnified as set out above.
ADVANCE NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPOSALS OF SHAREHOLDERS |  | Under the GHV bylaws, any stockholder may bring proper business before an annual meeting, including nominations to the board of directors, but only if the stockholder gives timely notice, in writing and proper form, of the stockholder's intention to bring the business before the meeting. |  | One or several shareholders holding at least 10% of the share capital may request the addition of one or several items on the agenda of a general meeting. Such request must be addressed to the registered office of AMPSA by registered mail at least five days before the general meeting. If one or more shareholders representing at least 10% of the share capital request so in writing, with an indication of the agenda, the convening of a general meeting, the board of directors or the statutory auditor must convene a general meeting. The general meeting must be held within a period of one month from receipt of such request.
SHAREHOLDERS' SUITS |  | Under Delaware law, a stockholder may bring a derivative action on a company's behalf to enforce the rights of a company. An individual also may commence a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself or herself and other similarly situated stockholders if the requirements for maintaining a class action lawsuit under Delaware law are met. An individual may institute and maintain a class action lawsuit only if such person was a stockholder at the time of the transaction that is the subject of the lawsuit or his or her shares thereafter devolved upon him or her by operation of law. In addition, the plaintiff must generally be a stockholder through the duration of the lawsuit. Delaware law requires that a derivative plaintiff make a demand on the directors of the corporation to assert the corporate claim before the lawsuit may be prosecuted, unless such demand would be futile. |  | Under Luxembourg law, the board of directors has sole authority to decide whether to initiate legal action to enforce a company's rights (other than, in certain circumstances, an action against board members). Shareholders generally do not have the authority to initiate legal action on a company's behalf unless the company fails abusively to exercise its legal rights. However, a company's shareholders may vote at a general meeting to initiate legal action against directors on grounds that the directors have failed to perform their duties. Luxembourg law does not provide for class action lawsuits. However, it is possible for plaintiffs who have similar but separate claims against the same defendant(s) to bring an action on a "group" basis by way of a joint action. It is also possible to ask the court, under article 206 of the Luxembourg New Civil Procedure Code, to join claims which are closely related and to rule on them together. In addition, minority shareholders holding an aggregate of 10% of the voting rights and who voted against the discharge to a director at the annual general meeting of the company can initiate legal action against the director on behalf of the company.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon the Closing, AMPSA will have 100,000,000,000 AMPSA Shares authorized and, based on the assumptions set out elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, up to 607,300,000 AMPSA Shares issued and outstanding, assuming no shares of GHV Class A Common Stock are redeemed in connection with the Merger, and 494,800,000 shares held by AGSA and the Initial Stockholders that will be subject to certain lock-up arrangements pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, assuming no shares of GHV Class A Common Stock are redeemed in connection with the Merger. In addition, AMPSA is expected to have 16,750,000 warrants issued and outstanding, each warrant exercisable for one AMPSA Share at $11.50 per share. All of the AMPSA Shares issued to the GHV stockholders in connection with the Merger will be freely transferable by persons other than by AMPSA's "affiliates" or GHV's "affiliates" without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of the AMPSA Shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the AMPSA Shares. Prior to the Merger, there has been no public market for AMPSA Shares. AMPSA intends to apply for listing of the AMPSA Shares and AMPSA Warrants on NYSE, but AMPSA cannot assure you that a regular trading market will develop in the AMPSA Shares and AMPSA Warrants.

Lock-up Agreements

In connection with the Closing, AMPSA, the Initial Stockholders and AGSA will enter into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement. AGSA may not transfer any AMPSA Shares beneficially owned or owned of record by it during the Share Lock-Up Period. During the Share Lock-Up Period, no Initial Stockholder may transfer AMPSA Shares beneficially owned or owned of record by such Initial Stockholder. During the period ending 30 days after the date of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, no Initial Stockholder may transfer any GHV Warrants or any of the AMPSA Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of such GHV Warrants beneficially owned or owned of record by such Initial Stockholder. The lock-up provisions are subject to a number of exceptions.

Rule 144

All of AMPSA's equity shares that will be outstanding upon the completion of the Business Combination, other than those equity shares issued to the GHV stockholders in connection with the Merger, are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, including the shares issued to the Subscribers in the PIPE, and may be sold publicly in the United States only if they are subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement such as those provided by Rule 144 and Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act. In general, beginning 90 days after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who, at the time of a sale, is not, and has not been during the three months preceding the sale, an affiliate of AMPSA and has beneficially owned AMPSA's restricted securities for at least six months will be entitled to sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act, subject only to the availability of current public information about AMPSA. Persons who are affiliates of AMPSA and have beneficially owned AMPSA's restricted securities for at least six months may sell a number of restricted securities within any three-month period that does not exceed the greater of the following:

•
  1% of the then outstanding equity shares of the same class; or
•
  the average weekly trading volume of AMPSA Shares of the same class during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC.

Sales by affiliates of AMPSA under Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements relating to manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about AMPSA.

277

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

•
  the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
•
  the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
•
  the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials); and
•
  at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed Form 20-F type information with the SEC, which is expected to be filed promptly after completion of the Merger, reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

Registration Rights

In connection with the Closing, AMPSA, the Initial Stockholders and AGSA will enter into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, AMPSA will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain securities of AMPSA. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement and subject to certain requirements and customary conditions, including with regard to the number of demand rights that may be exercised, certain holders may demand at any time or from time to time, that AMPSA file a registration statement on Form F-1, or any such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration, or, if available, Form F-3, to register the securities of AMPSA. The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement will also provide the Holders with "piggy-back" registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, AMPSA agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the Closing Date, it will file with the SEC (at AMPSA's sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares, and AMPSA will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

278

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of GHV Common Stock as of June 21, 2021, by:

•
  each person known by GHV to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of GHV Common Stock;
•
  each of GHV's current executive officers and directors; and
•
  all of GHV's current executive officers and directors as a group.

The Sponsor and GHV's directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares of GHV Class A Common Stock (or, following the Closing, AMPSA Shares) in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Merger, although they are under no obligation to do so. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of such shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor and GHV's directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the Merger Proposal and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Merger that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public "float" of GHV Class A Common Stock and the number of beneficial holders of GHV's securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult for AMPSA to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of its securities on a national securities exchange.

Unless otherwise indicated, GHV believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the GHV Warrants because such warrants are not exercisable within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Mr. Gores may be deemed to beneficially own 13,050,000 shares of GHV Common Stock and ultimately exercises voting and dispositive power of the securities held by the GHV Sponsor. Voting and disposition decisions with respect to such securities are made by Mr. Gores. Mr. Gores disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.

Unless otherwise indicated, AMPSA believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. Except as otherwise noted herein, the number and percentage of AMPSA Shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any AMPSA Shares as to which the holder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any AMPSA Shares which the holder has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus through the exercise of any option, conversion or any other right.

280

•
  each person who will become an executive officer or a director of AMPSA upon consummation of the Business Combination; and

The expected beneficial ownership of AMPSA Shares post-Business Combination, assuming no redemptions, has been determined based upon the following: (i) no shares of GHV Class A Common Stock are redeemed by the Public Stockholders in connection with the Merger, (ii) the Initial Stockholders exchange all outstanding shares of GHV Class F Common Stock (after giving effect to the cancellation of 3,281,250 shares of Class F Common Stock as provided in the Business Combination Agreement) for AMPSA Shares upon completion of the Business Combination, (iii) 60,000,000 AMPSA Shares are issued to the Subscribers in connection with the PIPE and 484,956,250 AMPSA Shares are issued to AGSA, and (iv) 607,300,000 AMPSA Shares (excluding treasury shares) are outstanding following the Closing.

The expected beneficial ownership of AMPSA Shares post-Business Combination, assuming maximum redemption of shares of GHV Common Stock, has been determined based upon the following: (i) 52,000,019 shares of GHV Class A Common Stock are redeemed for a per share redemption price of $10.00 and an aggregate redemption payment of $520,020,565, (ii) the Initial Stockholders exchange all outstanding shares of GHV Class F Common Stock (after giving effect to the cancellation of 3,281,250 shares of Class F Common Stock as provided in the Business Combination Agreement) for AMPSA Shares upon completion of the Business Combination, (iii) 69,500,000 AMPSA Shares are issued to the Subscribers in connection with the PIPE and 523,456,249 AMPSA Shares are issued to AGSA, and (iv) 603,299,980 AMPSA Shares (excluding treasury shares) are outstanding following the Closing.

GHV

Price Range of GHV Securities

The GHV Units, each of which consists of one share of the GHV Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-fifth of one Public Warrant, each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of the GHV Class A Common Stock, began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol "GRSVU" on August 10, 2020. On September 25, 2020, GHV announced that the holders of the GHV Units may elect to separately trade the GHV Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants included in the GHV Units commencing on September 28, 2020 on Nasdaq under the symbols "GRSV" and "GRSVW," respectively. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the GHV Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments as described in GHV's final prospectus dated August 5, 2020, which was filed with the SEC. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares of GHV Class A Common Stock and will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of an initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation as described in GHV's prospectus.

The following table sets forth, for the calendar quarter indicated, the high and low sales prices per unit for the GHV Units, the GHV Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants as reported on Nasdaq for the periods presented.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

Unless we have received contrary instructions, GHV may send a single copy of this proxy statement/prospectus to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if we believe the stockholders are members of the same family. This process, known as "householding," reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. However, if stockholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the stockholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another stockholder and together both of the stockholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the stockholders should follow these instructions:

•
  If the shares are registered in the name of the stockholder, the stockholder should contact us at our offices at Gores Holdings V, Inc., 9800 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, California 90212 or by telephone at (310) 209-3010, to inform us of his or her request; or
•
  If a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the stockholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The transfer agent for shares of GHV Common Stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Following the Closing, the transfer agent for the AMPSA Shares will be Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

GHV's Board is aware of no other matter that may be brought before the Special Meeting. Under Delaware law, only business that is specified in the notice of Special Meeting to stockholders may be transacted at the Special Meeting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Ardagh Group S.A.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of financial position of Ardagh Metal Packaging ("the Business") as of December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and January 1, 2018, and the related income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in invested capital and statement of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "combined financial statements"). In our opinion, the combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Business as of December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and January 1, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Business' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Business' combined financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Business in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these combined financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the combined financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the combined financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the combined financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Carve-out basis of preparation—Allocation of Corporate Debt

As described in Note 2 and Note 16 to the combined financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared on a carve-out basis from the consolidated financial statements of Ardagh

Group S.A. to represent the financial position and performance of the Business as if the Business had existed on a stand-alone basis for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 for the combined income statements, statements of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows and as at December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018 and January 1, 2018 for the combined statement of financial position. The combined financial statements have been prepared by aggregating the financial information from the entities, together with assets, liabilities, income and expenses that management has determined are specifically attributable to the Business including related party borrowings, and direct and indirect costs and expenses related to the operations of the Business. Related party borrowings to Ardagh, representing back-to-back agreements related to those components of the Ardagh Group's corporate debt used to fund the initial acquisition of the Business by Ardagh, is included in the combined financial statements reflecting the debt obligation and related interest costs of the Business. During 2019, the Business extinguished an existing $154 million related party loan and entered into a new £128 million ($154 million) related party loan in a non-cash refinancing transaction. As of December 31, 2018, the Business had issued preferred stock with a value of $662 million to Ardagh with a mandatory redemption date at December 31, 2019. Such agreement has been treated as related party borrowing for the purpose of the combined financial statements. During 2019 such preferred stock was redeemed and converted in a non-cash transaction into a long-term related party loan.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to carve-out basis of preparation—allocation of corporate debt is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the basis for allocation of the borrowings and (ii) the complexity in determining the accounting for the non-cash refinancing transaction in 2019 involving the extinguishment of a related party loan, the redemption of preferred stock, and its conversion to long-term related party loan. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management's allocation of the Ardagh Group's corporate debt and related accounting treatment to the Combined Statement of Financial Position.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the combined financial statements. These procedures also included, among others, testing that Ardagh Group's corporate debt allocated to the combined financial statements was complete, accurate and presented in accordance with the carve-out basis of preparation. Evaluating the carve-out allocation of the corporate debt included (i) testing completeness of the initial Ardagh Group S.A. corporate debt recorded in the financial statements and the basis for allocation of debt to the combined financial statements and, (ii) testing the judgment applied by management when determining the appropriate accounting treatment of the refinancing transactions and allocation of corporate debt.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General information

Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. (the "Company") was incorporated on January, 21, 2021, in order to effect a reorganization and subject to its completion, acquire the Metal Beverage Packaging operations (the "AMP Business" or the "Business") of Ardagh Group S.A.. Prior to the reorganization and throughout the periods presented, the AMP Business was owned by Ardagh Group S.A. and its subsidiaries ("Ardagh" or "the Ardagh Group"). The Company has no assets or liabilities, other than those associated with its formation, and will conduct no operations until the completion of the reorganization.

The AMP Business has historically operated as part of Ardagh and not as a separate stand-alone entity or group.

The Business is a leading global supplier of sustainable, value-added beverage cans, principally aluminum, to beverage companies serving end-use categories including beer, carbonated soft drinks ("CSD"), cocktails, energy drinks, hard seltzers, juices, teas, water (both carbonated and still) and wine. Our principal target regions are Europe, North America and Brazil, and our customers include a wide range of multinational beverage companies owning some of the best-known brands in the world, as well as leading regional and national beverage producers.

The principal accounting policies of the Business that have been applied to the combined financial statements are described in note 2 below.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The Business has not previously prepared or reported any combined financial statements in accordance with any other generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Business has prepared these combined financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and related interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The Business' deemed transition date to IFRS and its interpretations as issued by the IASB is January 1, 2018. The principles and requirements for first time adoption of IFRS are set out in IFRS 1, 'First-time adoption of IFRS' ("IFRS 1"). The requirement in IFRS 1 to provide reconciliations of financial information prepared under legacy GAAP to IFRS is not relevant to the Business as the Business has not previously prepared or reported any financial statements in accordance with any other generally accepted accounting principles and has availed of the exemptions available under IFRS 1 for a subsidiary becoming a first-time adopter later than its parent. The combined financial statements of the Business have been prepared in accordance with, and are in compliance with, IFRS and its interpretations as issued by the IASB. References to IFRS hereafter should be construed as references to IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Basis of preparation

The combined financial statements of the Business have been prepared on a carve-out basis from the consolidated financial statements of Ardagh Group S.A., to represent the financial position and performance of the Business as if the Business had existed on a stand-alone basis for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 for the combined income statements, statements of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows and as at December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018 and January 1, 2018, for the combined statements of financial position. However, the combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the Business had been a stand alone entity during the period presented. After making enquiries and considering the

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Business' future projections, it has been determined that the Business has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future, for this reason the combined financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The combined financial statements, are presented in U.S. dollar, rounded to the nearest million, and have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following:

•
  derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value; and
•
  employee benefit obligations are measured at the present value of the future estimated cash flows related to benefits earned and pension assets valued at fair value.

The preparation of combined financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying accounting policies, which have been applied consistently through the combined financial statements of the Business. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are subject to continual re-evaluation. These estimates, assumptions and judgments were historically deemed to be reasonable and prudent. However, actual outcomes may differ from those estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the combined financial statements, are discussed in the critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments.

The combined financial statements have been prepared by aggregating the financial information from the entities as described in note 22, together with assets, liabilities, income and expenses that management has determined are specifically attributable to the Business including related party borrowings, and direct and indirect costs and expenses related to the operations of the Business. The following summarizes the principles applied in preparing the combined financial statements:

•
  Controlled companies that are part of the Business have been included in the combined financial statements, as further described in note 22. Goodwill, customer relationship intangible assets and fair value adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition of the controlled companies that are part of the Business by Ardagh, have been included in the combined financial statements. No companies were acquired or disposed of during the financial periods presented;
•
  The Business did not in the past form a separate legal group and therefore it is not possible to show issued share capital or a full analysis of reserves. For such reasons, no earnings per share is presented. The net assets of the Business are represented by the cumulative investment of Ardagh in the Business, shown as invested capital;
•
  All intercompany balances, investments in subsidiaries and share capital within the Business have been eliminated upon combination in the combined financial statements;
•
  All employee benefit obligations are directly attributable to the Business and are obligations of the entities described in note 22;
•
  The Business adopted IFRS 16 applying the simplified approach, with the right-of-use assets being calculated as if IFRS 16 had always been applied and the lease liabilities being calculated

as the present value of expected remaining future lease payments, discounted at the Business' incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2018. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities recognized upon adoption of IFRS 16 was 5.0%. Upon adoption, the Business has availed of the practical expedients to use hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease and has also elected not to apply IFRS 16 to contracts that were not identified before as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4;

•
  Cumulative translation differences directly attributable to the controlled companies that are part of the Business, have been allocated at the amounts included in Ardagh's consolidated financial statements;
•
  For the purposes of the preparation of these combined financial statements, Ardagh corporate center costs which were allocated by Ardagh, and therefore contained within the results of, the Business have been included in selling, general and administration ("SGA") expenses (2020: $27 million, 2019: $22 million, 2018: $23 million). The Ardagh support provided to the Business included stewardship by Ardagh senior management personnel and functional support in terms of typical corporate areas such as Group finance, legal and risk, in addition to, discrete support which was provided from centralized management activities such as HR, Sustainability and IT in order to complement and support the activities in these areas which existed within the Business. The Ardagh corporate head office costs were allocated principally based on Adjusted EBITDA, with settlement of these costs recorded within invested capital. The allocations to the Business reflected all the costs of doing business and Management believes that the allocations were reasonable and materially reflected what the expenses would have been on a stand alone basis. These costs reflected the arrangements that existed in Ardagh and are not necessarily representative of costs that may arise in the future. In addition to these Ardagh corporate head office costs, shared divisional costs of $15 million attributable to the Business, were incurred in respect of each of the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018. The activities associated with these shared divisional costs subsequently formed part of the Ardagh shared corporate head office costs attributable to the Business, or were incurred specifically within the Business, for the year ended 31 December 2020;
•
  Tax charges and credits and balances in the combined financial statements have been calculated as if the Business was a separate taxable entity using the separate return method. The tax charges and credits recorded in the combined income statement and tax balances recorded in the combined statement of financial position have been affected by the taxation arrangements within Ardagh and are not necessarily representative of the positions that may arise in the future. Differences between the tax charges and credits and balances in the combined financial statements, and the tax charges and credits and balances in the historical records of the Business are included in invested capital;
•
  The Business has its own treasury functional team with certain treasury and risk management functions being performed by a central treasury function, which includes cash pooling and similar arrangement between Ardagh and the Business. Interest on related party borrowings and allocated costs and expenses as described below have generally been deemed to have been paid by the Business to Ardagh in the month in which the costs were incurred. In addition, all external debt used to fund Ardagh's operations is managed and held centrally. Related party

borrowings to Ardagh, representing back-to-back agreements related to those components of the Ardagh Group's corporate debt used to fund the initial acquisition of the Business by Ardagh, is included in the combined financial statements reflecting the debt obligation and related interest costs of the Business. Any cash balances reflected on the combined financial statements are legally owned by the Business. Ardagh has entered into certain derivative instruments with external counterparties on behalf of the business and on the back of those related-party derivatives between Ardagh and the Business have been executed, the impact of which have been included in the combined financial statements;

•
  Other intercompany balances between Ardagh and the Business with the exception of the related party borrowings discussed above are deemed to be long term funding in nature and will not remain a liability upon separation from Ardagh and hence have been presented as part of invested capital in the combined financial statements.

The directors of Ardagh Group S.A. (the "Directors") are responsible for preparing the combined financial statements, on a carve-out basis from the consolidated financial statements of Ardagh Group S.A, in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the IASB and for being satisfied that they present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and performance of the Business as if the Business had existed on a stand-alone basis for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 for the combined income statements, statements of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows and as at December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018 and January 1, 2018, for the combined statements of financial position. In preparing these combined financial statements, the Directors are required to:

•
  select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
•
  make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
•
  state that the financial statements comply with IFRS as adopted by the IASB; and
•
  prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Business will continue in business.

The Directors confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements.

The combined financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Directors on 24 February, 2021.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Business' assessment of the impact of new standards, which are not yet effective and which have not been early adopted by the Business, on the combined financial statements and disclosures is on-going but no material impacts are expected.

Basis of combination

(i) Controlled companies

The companies included in these combined financial statements are all entities over which the Business has control. The Business controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable

F-12

Table of Contents

THE AMP BUSINESS

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of controlled companies by the Business. The cost of an acquisition is the consideration given in exchange for control of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired legal entities. Directly attributable transaction costs are expensed and included as exceptional items within sales, general and administration expenses. The acquired net assets are initially measured at fair value. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to those groups of cash-generating units ("CGUs") that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose for the purpose of assessing impairment. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. Any goodwill and fair value adjustments are recorded as assets and liabilities of the acquired legal entity in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the legal entity operates (the "functional currency").

(ii) Transactions eliminated on combination

Transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between the controlled companies of the Business are eliminated on combination. The accounting policies of the controlled companies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Business.

Foreign currency

(i) Presentation currency

The combined financial statements are presented in U.S. dollar which is the presentation currency of the Business. The business has availed of the practical expedient in IFRS 1 to set foreign currency translation reserve to zero upon transition to IFRS.

(ii) Foreign currency transactions

Items included in the financial statements of each of the entities included in the Business are measured using the functional currency of that entity.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in the combined income statement, except differences on certain derivative financial instruments discussed under "Derivative financial instruments" below.

(iii) Financial statements of foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations held by the Business are translated into U.S. dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the year. Foreign exchange differences

F-13

Table of Contents

THE AMP BUSINESS

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

arising on retranslation are recognized in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are recycled to the combined income statement when the foreign operation is disposed of.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the date when the fair value is determined.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognized at cost.

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalized separately from goodwill if the intangible asset is separately identifiable or arises from contractual or other legal rights. They are initially recognized at cost which, for intangible assets arising in a business combination, is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Customer relationships acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Customer relationships have a finite useful economic life and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization.

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The carrying values of intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date and are subject to impairment testing when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable.

The amortization of intangible assets is calculated to write off the book value of finite lived intangible assets over their useful lives on a straight-line basis, on the assumption of zero residual value, as follows:

Computer software |  | 2 - 7 years
Customer relationships |  | 5 - 15 years
Technology |  | 5 - 15 years

Property, plant and equipment

(i) Owned assets

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, except for land which is shown at cost less impairment. Spare parts which form an integral part of plant and machinery and which have an estimated useful economic life greater than one year are capitalized.

Where components of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

(ii) Leased assets

At the lease commencement date or the effective date of a lease modification, the Business recognizes a lease liability as the present value of expected future lease payments, discounted at the Business' incremental borrowing rate unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable, excluding any amounts which are variable based on the usage of the underlying asset and a right-of-use

F-14

Table of Contents

THE AMP BUSINESS

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

asset generally at the same amount plus any directly attributable costs. The incremental borrowing rate is the discount rate the Business would have to pay to borrow, over a similar term and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The Business combines lease and non-lease components and accounts for them as a single lease component with the exception of the dunnage asset class. Extension options or periods after termination options are considered by management if it is reasonably certain that the lease will be extended or not terminated.

(iii) Subsequent costs

The Business recognizes in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the cost of replacing the component of such an item when that cost is incurred, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Business and the replacement cost of the item can be measured reliably. When a component is replaced the old component is de-recognized in the period. All other costs are recognized in the combined income statement as an expense as incurred. When a major overhaul is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria above are met.

(iv) Depreciation

Depreciation is charged to the combined income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings |  | 30 - 40 years
Plant and machinery |  | 3 - 20 years
Dunnage and other |  | 3 - 10 years

Assets' useful lives and residual values are adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful economic life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment or whenever indicators suggest that impairment may have occurred. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets excluding goodwill and long lived intangible assets, are grouped at the lowest levels at which cash flows are separately identifiable. Goodwill and long lived intangible assets are allocated to groups of CGUs. The groupings represent the lowest level at which the related assets are monitored for internal management purposes.

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their value in use and fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and

F-15

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in, first-out basis and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their current location and condition. In the case of finished goods and work-in-progress, cost includes direct materials, direct labor and attributable overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated proceeds of sale less all further costs to completion, and less all costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

Spare parts which are deemed to be of a consumable nature, are included within inventories and expensed when utilized.

Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, contract assets, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and trade and other payables. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. The Business applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.

(i) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at the transaction price and are, thereafter, measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less any provision for impairment, in accordance with the held to collect business model. The Business uses estimates based on expected credit losses and current information in determining the level of debts for which an allowance for impairment is required. For all other trade receivables, the Business uses an allowance matrix to measure the expected credit loss, based on historical actual credit loss experiences, adjusted for forward-looking information.

The Business participates in certain uncommitted accounts receivable factoring and related programs with various financial institutions for certain receivables, accounted for as true sales of receivables, without recourse to the Business. The Business has a selling business model related to those receivables and, as such, any unsold receivables under such programs are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss.

(ii) Securitized assets

The Business has entered into securitization transactions involving certain of its trade receivables. The securitization assets are recognized on the combined statement of financial position, until all of the rights to the cash flows from those assets have expired or have been fully transferred outside the Business, or until substantially all of the related risks, rewards and control of the related assets have been transferred to a third party.

F-16

THE AMP BUSINESS

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

(iii) Contract assets

Contract assets represent revenue required to be accelerated or recognized over time based on production completed in accordance with the Business' revenue recognition policy (as set out below). A provision for impairment of a contract asset will be recognized when there is evidence that the revenue recognized will not be recoverable. The provision is measured based on an allowance matrix to measure the expected credit loss, based on historical actual credit loss experiences, adjusted for forward-looking information.

(iv) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and call deposits held with banks and restricted cash. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost.

(v) Borrowings (including related party borrowings)

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the combined income statement of the Business over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Business has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

(vi) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each reporting date. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

The fair values of various derivative instruments are disclosed in note 16. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged instrument is more than twelve months after the balance sheet date and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged instrument is less than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability. No derivatives are held for speculative purposes.

(i) Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income, allocated between cash flow hedge gains or losses and cost of hedging gains or losses. For cash flow hedges which subsequently result in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the amounts accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve within

F-17

Table of Contents

THE AMP BUSINESS

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

invested capital are reclassified to the asset in order to adjust its carrying value. Amounts accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve and cost of hedging reserve, or as adjustments to carrying value of non-financial assets, are recycled to the combined income statement in the periods when the hedged item will affect profit or loss.

The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the combined income statement. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing at that time remains within invested capital in equity and is recognized in the combined income statement when the forecast cash flow arises. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in invested capital is immediately transferred to the combined income statement.

Fair value measurement

The Business measures derivative financial instruments and pension assets at fair value at each balance sheet date. Fair value related disclosures for financial instruments and pension assets that are measured at fair value or where fair values are disclosed, are summarized in the following notes:

•
  Disclosures for valuation methods, significant estimates and assumptions (notes 16 and 17)
•
  Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy (note 16)
•
  Financial instruments (including those carried at amortized cost) (note 16)

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

•
  in the principal market for the asset or liability; or
•
  in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Business.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Business uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

Employee benefits

(i) Defined benefit pension plans

Typically, defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation.

The liability recognized in the combined statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in financial and actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to invested capital in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past service costs are recognized immediately in the combined income statement.

(ii) Other long term employee benefits

The obligation of the Business in respect of other long term employee benefit plans represents the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for service in the current and prior periods for post-retirement medical schemes, partial retirement contracts and long service awards. These are included in the category of employee benefit obligations on the combined statement of financial position. The obligation is computed on the basis of the projected unit credit method and is discounted to present value using a discount rate equating to the market yield at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds of a currency and term consistent with the currency and estimated term of the obligations. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in the comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

(iii) Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Business pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Business has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.

Revenue recognition

The following is a description of the main activities from which the Business generates its revenue.

Our products include metal containers primarily for the beverage markets with consumer-driven demand. In addition to metal containers, the Business manufactures and supplies a wide range of can ends. Containers and ends are usually distinct items and can be sold separately from each other. A significant portion of our sales volumes are supplied under contracts which include input cost pass-through provisions.

The Business usually enters into framework agreements with its customers, which establish the terms under which individual orders to purchase goods or services may be placed. As the framework agreements do not identify each party's rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred, they do not create enforceable rights and obligations on a stand-alone basis. Therefore, the Business has concluded that only individual purchase orders create enforceable rights and obligations and meet the definition of a contract. The individual purchase orders have, in general, a duration of one year or less and, as such, the Business does not disclose any information about remaining performance obligations under these contracts. The payment terms of the Business are in line with customary business practice, which can vary by customer and region. The Business has availed of the practical expedient from considering the existence of a significant financing component as, based on past experience, we expect that, at contract inception, the period between when a promised good is transferred to the customer and when the customer pays for that good will be one year or less.

Revenue is recognized when control of a good or service has transferred to the customer. For certain contracts, the Business manufactures products for customers that have no alternative use and for which the Business has an enforceable right to payment for production completed to date. The Business has concluded that it has such enforceable right to payment plus a reasonable margin once it receives an individual purchase order. Therefore, for such products that have no alternative use and where an enforceable right to payment exists, the Business will recognize revenue over time based on the units produced output method such that a portion of revenue, net of any related rebates and cash discounts, excluding sales or value added tax, will be recognized prior to the dispatch of goods as the Business satisfies the contractual performance obligations for those contracts. For all other contracts, the Business will continue to recognize revenue primarily on dispatch of the goods, net of any related customer rebates, cash discounts and value added taxes.

The Business often sells products with rebates and cash discounts based on cumulative sales over a period. Such rebate and cash discount consideration is only recognised when it is highly probable that it will not be subsequently reversed and is recognised using the most likely amount depending on the individual contractual terms.

Exceptional items

The combined income statement, combined statement of cash flows and segmental analysis of the Business separately identify results before specific items. Specific items are those that in management's judgment need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence to provide additional information. Such items include, however are not limited to, where significant, costs relating to permanent capacity realignment or footprint reorganization, start-up costs incurred in relation to and associated with plant builds, significant new line investments, impairment of non-current assets and

directly attributable acquisition costs. In this regard, the determination of "significant" as included in our definition uses qualitative and quantitative factors. Judgment is used by the Business in assessing the particular items, which by virtue of their scale and nature, are disclosed in the combined income statement, and related notes as exceptional items. The Business considers columnar presentation to be appropriate in the combined income statement as it provides useful additional information and is consistent with the way that financial performance is measured by the Business. Exceptional restructuring costs are classified as restructuring provisions and all other exceptional costs when outstanding at the balance sheet date are classified as exceptional items payable.

Net finance expense

Net finance expense comprises interest expense on related party borrowings, interest costs on leases, net foreign currency translation gains or losses related to financing, net interest cost on net pension plan liabilities, ineffective portions of derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments, losses on derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments and are recognized in profit or loss, and other finance expense.

The Business capitalizes borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of manufacturing plants that require a substantial period of time to build that would have been avoided if the expenditure on the qualifying asset had not been made.

Income tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the combined income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the combined financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are generally not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill and deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liabilities where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Business and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Differences between the tax charges and credits in the combined financial statements and the tax charges and credits in the historical records of the Business are included as offset in invested capital.

Segment reporting

As described in note 1, the Business has not historically operated as a separate stand-alone group and has been managed centrally by Ardagh. For the purposes of these combined financial statements, the Business has two operating and reporting segments: Europe and Americas, with internal reporting provided on this basis to the Executive Committee of Ardagh, being its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The internal information supporting this segmental organization is used by the CODM to allocate resources and assess segmental performance.

Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments

Accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Business makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Please refer to the basis of preparation for details of the critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements exercised in preparing the combined financial statements.

(i) Estimated impairment of goodwill and other long lived assets

In accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of assets" ("IAS 36"), the Business tests whether goodwill and other long lived assets have suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policies stated. The determination of the recoverable amounts of goodwill requires the use of estimates as outlined in note 8. The judgments made by the Business relating to the impairment of goodwill and other long lived assets are included in notes 8 and 9.

(ii) Lease term upon adoption of IFRS 16

Upon adoption of IFRS 16, several lease agreements included renewal and termination options. As part of the recognition of such leases, the Business assessed all facts and circumstances that created an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option, or not exercise a termination option. Renewal options (or periods after termination options) were only included in the lease term if the conclusion was that the lease was reasonably certain to be renewed (or not terminated).

(iii) Income taxes

The Business is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions and judgment is therefore required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and

F-22

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Business recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit matters based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(iv) Measurement of employee benefit obligations

The Business follows guidance of IAS 19(R) to determine the present value of its obligations to current and past employees in respect of defined benefit pension obligations, other long term employee benefits, and other end of service employee benefits which are subject to similar fluctuations in value in the long term. The Business values its liabilities, with the assistance of professional actuaries, to ensure consistency in the quality of the key assumptions underlying the valuations. The critical assumptions and estimates applied are discussed in detail in note 17.

(v) Exceptional items

The combined income statement and segment analysis separately identify results before exceptional items. Exceptional items are those that in our judgment need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence.

The Business believes that this presentation provides additional analysis as it highlights exceptional items. The determination of "significant" as included in our definition uses qualitative and quantitative factors which remain consistent from period to period. The Business uses judgment in assessing the particular items, which by virtue of their scale and nature, are disclosed in the combined income statement and related notes as exceptional items. Management considers the combined income statement presentation of exceptional items to be appropriate as it provides useful additional information and is consistent with the way that financial information is measured by and presented to management. In that regard, management believes it to be consistent with paragraph 85 of IAS 1 "Presentation of financial statements" ("IAS 1"), which permits the inclusion of line items and subtotals that improve the understanding of performance.

3. Segment analysis

The two operating and reportable segments of the Business are Europe and Americas. This reflects the basis on which the Business performance is reviewed by the CODM.

Net finance expense is not allocated to segments as this is reviewed on a Business-wide basis. Performance of the segments is assessed based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA consists of profit/(loss) before income tax charge/(credit), net finance expense, depreciation and amortization and exceptional operating items. Segment revenues are derived from sales to external customers. Inter-segmental revenue is not material.

Segment assets consist of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, derivative financial instrument assets, deferred tax assets, other non-current assets, inventories, contract assets, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those in the combined financial statements of the Business as set out in note 2.

Profit/(loss) before tax in the combined financial statements of the Business is multiplied by the standard rate of Luxembourg corporation tax, consistent with the presentation in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent company of the Business and of Ardagh Group S.A, which is the parent company of the Business.

The total income tax charge outlined above for each year includes tax credits of $14 million in 2020 (2019: $3 million; 2018: $5 million) in respect of exceptional items, being the tax effect of the items set out in note 4. The $14 million exceptional income tax credit recognized in the year ended December 31, 2020, includes a credit of $6 million relating to tax benefits arising from the enactment from March 27, 2020, of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act.

Non-deductible items principally relate to non-deductible interest expense in Ireland and Netherlands, in addition to the U.S. in 2018. Income taxed at non-standard rates takes account of foreign tax rate differences (versus the Luxembourg standard 24.94% rate) on earnings. Adjustments in respect of prior years includes tax credits in 2020 related to the carry back of tax losses in the United States as a result of the enactment from March 27, 2020, of the CARES Act, in addition to return to provision adjustments in certain EU territories.

Goodwill

Allocation of goodwill

Goodwill originated from the acquisition of the Business by Ardagh has been allocated to CGUs that are expected to benefit from synergies arising from that combination. Goodwill has been allocated to groups of CGUs for the purpose of impairment testing. The groupings represent the lowest level at which the related goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

The lowest level within the Business at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and consequently the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated, is set out below:

Impairment tests for goodwill

The annual goodwill impairment test is performed following the approval of the Ardagh Group's annual budget, or whenever indicators suggest that impairment may have occurred.

Recoverable amount and carrying amount

The value-in-use ("VIU") model for each annual impairment test respectively used the following year's approved budget and a three-year forecast for 2022 to 2024 (2019 and 2018 two-year forecast

period; January 1, 2018: one-year period). The budget and forecast results were then extended for a further one year period (2019 and 2018: two-year period; January 1, 2018: four-year period) making certain assumptions, including that long-term depreciation equals capital expenditure, in addition to the how changes in input cost will impact customer pricing, in line with historic practice and contractual terms.

Cash flows considered in the VIU model included the cash inflows and outflows related to the continuing use of the assets over their remaining useful lives, expected earnings, required maintenance capital expenditure and working capital.

The modelled cash flows take into account the Business' established history of earnings, cash flow generation and the nature of the markets in which we operate, where product obsolescence is low. The key assumptions employed in modelling estimates of the net present value of future cash flows are subjective and include projected Adjusted EBITDA, discount rates and growth rates, replacement capital expenditure requirements, rates of customer retention and the ability to maintain margin through the pass through of input cost inflation.

The discount rate applied to cash flows in the VIU model was estimated using the weighted average cost of capital as determined by the Capital Asset Pricing Model with regard to the risks associated with the cash flows being considered (country, market and specific risks of the asset). The discount rates applied in respect of groups of CGUs was Europe: 5.1% and Americas: 7.9% as of the most recent annual goodwill impairment test following approval of the annual budget for 2021. Discount rates in prior periods were as follows for Europe (2019: 5.1%, 2018: 6.7%, January 1, 2018: 7.4%) and Americas (2019: 8.5%, 2018: 9.6%, January 1, 2018: 9.6%).

The terminal value assumed long-term growth based on a combination of factors including long-term inflation in addition to industry and market specific factors. The range of growth rates applied by management in respect of the terminal values applicable to the groups of CGUs were 1.0% (2019: 1.0%; 2018: 1.5%; January 1, 2018: 1.5%) in respect of all groups of CGUs.

A sensitivity analysis was performed reflecting potential variations in terminal growth rate and discount rate assumptions. In all cases the recoverable values calculated were significantly in excess of the carrying values of the CGUs. The variation applied to terminal value growth rates and discount rates was a 50 basis points decrease and increase respectively and represents a reasonably possible change to the key assumptions of the VIU model. Further, a reasonably possible change to the operating cash flows would not reduce the recoverable amounts below the carrying value of the CGUs. As a result of the significant excess of recoverable amount, management consider that additional disclosures are not required under IAS36.

The net carrying amount of the right-of use assets at December 31, 2020 of $127 million (2019: $122 million; 2018: $97 million) is primarily the result of total additions to the right-of-use assets of $37 million (2019: $55 million; 2018: $47 million), offset by a depreciation charge of $36 million (2019: $27 million; 2018: $20 million), comprised of Land and buildings: $26 million (2019: $18 million; 2018: $12 million); Plant and machinery: $3 million (2019: $2 million; 2018: $2 million), and Dunnage and other: $7 million (2019: $7 million; 2018: $6 million), all during the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Business incurred variable lease expense of $29 million (2019: $23 million; 2018: $26 million) primarily related to warehouse leases.

10. Deferred income tax (Continued)

No provision has been made for temporary differences applicable to investments in subsidiaries as the Business is in a position to control the timing of reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Given that exemptions and tax credits would be available in the context of the Business' investments in subsidiaries in the majority of jurisdictions in which it operates, the aggregate amount of temporary differences in respect of which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized would not be material.

12. Trade and other receivables (Continued)

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivable set out above.

Provisions against specific balances

Significant balances are assessed for evidence of increased credit risk. Examples of factors considered are high probability of bankruptcy, breaches of contract or major concession being sought by the customer. Instances of significant single customer related bad debts are rare and there is no significant concentration of risk associated with particular customers.

Providing against the remaining population of customers

The Business monitors actual historical credit losses and adjusts for forward-looking information to measure the level of expected losses. Adverse changes in the payment status of customers of the Business, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables owing to the Business, may also provide a basis for an increase in the level of provision above historic loss experience.

As of December 31, 2020, trade receivables of $7 million (2019: $10 million; 2018: $13 million; January 1, 2018: $13 million) were past due but not impaired, of which $5 million (2019: $10 million; 2018: $11 million; January 1, 2018: $10 million) were up to three months past due and the remaining balance being three to six months past due.

THE AMP BUSINESS

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

15. Financial risk factors

The activities of the Business expose it to a variety of financial risks: capital risk, interest rate, currency exchange risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

Capital structure and risk

The Business has its own treasury functional teams. Certain treasury and risk management activities are performed by a central Ardagh Group Treasury team under policies approved by the board of directors of Ardagh. As described in note 2, the related party borrowings reported within these financial statements comprise related-party debt from Ardagh Group.

The objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Business' ability to continue as a going concern and provide returns to its owners.

Financial risks are managed, on an on-going basis, by the Business' senior management team in cooperation with Ardagh's central Group Treasury. The Business does not use treasury instruments for speculative purposes, under any circumstances. Financial risk management includes regular reviews of the level of cash and debt facilities required to fund the activities of the Business, repayments and financing of related party debt obligations, and in order to potentially identify an appropriate amount of headroom to provide a reserve against unexpected funding requirements.

Interest rate

At December 31, 2020, the business' related party borrowings were 100% (2019: 100%, 2018: 100%, January 1, 2018: 100%) fixed.

Currency exchange risk

The Business presents its combined financial information in U.S. dollar.

The Business operates in 9 countries, across three continents and its main currency exposure in the year to December 31, 2020, from the U.S. dollar presentation currency, was in relation to the euro, British pound, and Brazilian real. Currency exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.

The Business has a limited level of transactional currency exposure arising from sales or purchases by operating units in currencies other than their functional currencies.

Fluctuations in the value of these currencies with respect to the U.S. dollar presentation currency may have a significant impact on the Business' financial condition and results of operations. The Business believes that a strengthening of the U.S. dollar exchange rate by 1% against all other foreign currencies from the December 31, 2020 rate would increase invested capital by approximately $5 million (2019: $5 million, 2018: $3 million, January 1, 2018: $2 million).

Commodity price risk

The Business is exposed to changes in prices of its main raw materials, primarily energy, and aluminum. Aluminum ingot is traded daily as a commodity on the London Metal Exchange, which has historically been subject to significant price volatility. Because aluminum is priced in U.S. dollar, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar/euro rate also affect the euro cost of aluminum ingot. The price and foreign currency risk on the aluminum purchases in Metal Beverage Packaging Europe and Metal

F-38

THE AMP BUSINESS

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

15. Financial risk factors (Continued)

Beverage Packaging Americas are hedged by entering into swaps under which we pay fixed euro and U.S dollar prices, respectively. Furthermore, the relative price of oil and its by-products may materially impact our business, affecting our transport, lacquer and ink costs.

The Business uses derivative agreements with Ardagh to manage some of the material cost risk. The use of derivative contracts to manage its risk is dependent on robust hedging procedures. Increasing raw material costs over time has the potential, if we are unable to pass on price increases, to reduce sales volume and could therefore have a significant impact on its financial condition. The Business is also exposed to possible interruptions of supply of aluminum or other raw materials and any inability to purchase raw materials could negatively impact its operations.

As a result of the volatility of gas and electricity prices, the Business has developed an active hedging strategy to fix a significant proportion of its energy costs through contractual arrangements directly with our suppliers. The Business policy is to purchase gas and electricity by entering into forward price-fixing arrangements with suppliers for the bulk of our anticipated requirements for the year ahead. Such contracts are used exclusively to obtain delivery of our anticipated energy supplies. The Business does not net settle, nor do we sell within a short period of time after taking delivery. The Business avails of the own use exemption and, therefore, these contracts are treated as executory contracts. The Business typically builds up these contractual positions in tranches of approximately 10% of the anticipated volumes. Any gas and electricity which is not purchased under forward price-fixing arrangements is purchased under index tracking contracts or at spot prices.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from derivative contracts, cash and deposits held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to the customers of the Business, including outstanding receivables. The policy of the Business is to place excess liquidity on deposit with the central Ardagh Treasury entity who will, in turn, only place excess liquid funds with recognized and reputable financial institutions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of "BBB+" from at least two credit rating agencies are accepted, where possible. The credit ratings of banks and financial institutions are monitored to ensure compliance with Ardagh Group policy. Risk of default is controlled within a policy framework of dealing with high quality institutions and by limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one bank or institution.

Business policy is to extend credit to customers of good credit standing. Credit risk is managed on an on-going basis, by experienced people within the Business. The Business' policy for the management of credit risk in relation to trade receivables involves periodically assessing the financial reliability of customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Provisions are made, where deemed necessary, and the utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. The Business does not expect any significant counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each asset. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the ten largest customers of the Business accounted for approximately 64% of total revenues (2019: 65%; 2018: 66%). There is no recent history of default with these customers.

Liquidity risk

The Business is exposed to liquidity risk which arises primarily from the maturing of short term and long term debt obligations. The Business' policy has been to ensure that sufficient resources are available either from cash balances, cash flows or undrawn committed bank facilities, to ensure all obligations can be met as they fall due.

F-39

Table of Contents

THE AMP BUSINESS

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

15. Financial risk factors (Continued)

To effectively manage liquidity risk the Business:

•
  has committed borrowing facilities that it can access to meet liquidity needs;
•
  maintains cash balances and liquid investments with highly-rated counterparties;
•
  limits the maturity of cash balances;
•
  borrows the bulk of its debt needs under long term fixed rate debt securities; and
•
  has internal control processes to manage liquidity risk.

Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Business and results in rolling forecasts of the Business' liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Business does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Business' debt financing plans.

  Includes exchange gain/(loss) on cash and cash equivalents

The increase in net borrowings and derivative financial instruments primarily includes repayments of borrowings of $8 million (2019: $nil, 2018: $nil) of which $nil are to related parties, proceeds from borrowings of $nil (2019: $22 million, of which $6 million was a non-cash transaction, with $nil from related parties, 2018: $2 million with $nil from related parties), an increase in lease obligations of $3 million (2019: $26 million, 2018: $25 million), foreign exchange loss on borrowings of $60 million (2019: loss of $9 million, 2018: gain of $36 million), amortization of deferred financing costs of $nil (2019: $5 million, 2018: $2 million), partly offset by a fair value movement on derivative financial instruments used to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risk of $nil (2019: loss of $17 million, 2018: gain of $11 million) and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $27 million (2019: increase of $136 million, 2018: decrease of $2 million).

During 2019, the Business extinguished an existing $154 million related party loan and entered into a new £128 million ($154 million) related party loan in a non-cash refinancing transaction.

As of December 31, 2018, the Business had issued preferred stock with a value of $662 million to Ardagh with a mandatory redemption date at December 31, 2019. Such agreement has been treated as

related party borrowing for purpose of the combined financial statements. During 2019 such preferred stock was redeemed and converted in a non-cash transaction into a long-term related party loan.

Lease obligations at December 31, 2020, of $136 million (2019: $133 million; 2018: $107 million) primarily reflect $36 million of new or renewed leases (2019: $55 million; 2018: $47 million), offset by $35 million (2019: $26 million; 2018: $19 million) of principal repayments and foreign currency movements in the year ended December 31, 2020.

16. Financial assets and liabilities (Continued)

The Business uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments:

| Level 1 |  | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
| Level 2 |  | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
| Level 3 |  | Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year.

Fair values are calculated as follows:

(i)
  Related party borrowings—The fair value of the related party borrowings of the Business is linked to quoted market prices for Ardagh's corporate debt, considering the credit risk of the Business and represent Level 2 inputs.
(ii)
  Other borrowings—The carrying amount of other borrowings is assumed to be a reasonable approximation of fair value.
(iii)
  Cross currency interest rate swaps ("CCIRS")—The fair value of the CCIRS are based on quoted market prices and represent Level 2 inputs.
(iv)
  Commodity contracts and forward foreign exchange contracts—The fair value of these derivatives are based on quoted market prices and represent Level 2 inputs.

The majority of derivative assets and liabilities mature within one year with the exception of certain metal forward contracts which mature at dates between January 2022 and December 2023. At the maturity date those derivative instruments are settled with Ardagh through invested capital.

Cross currency interest rate swaps

2019

On August 12, 2019, the Business terminated its $150 million U.S. dollar to GBP CCIRS, due for maturity in 2022. The total fair value of this swap at termination was $28 million and the cash receipt on these swaps was $28 million.

2018

The Business hedges certain portions of its related party borrowings and interest payable thereon using CCIRS, with a net asset at December 31, 2018, of $17 million (January 1, 2018: $6 million).

Metal forward contracts

The Business hedges a portion of its anticipated metal purchases. Excluding conversion and freight costs, the physical metal deliveries are priced based on the applicable indices agreed with the suppliers for the relevant month. The Business determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument based on common indices used. Ineffectiveness may arise if there are changes in the forecasted transaction in terms pricing, timing or quantities, or if there are

changes in the credit risk of the Business or the counterparty. The Business applies a hedge ratio of 1:1.

Fair values have been based on quoted market prices and are valued using Level 2 valuation inputs. The fair value of these contracts when initiated is $nil; no premium is paid or received.

Forward foreign exchange contracts

The Business operates in a number of currencies and, accordingly, hedges a portion of its currency transaction risk. Certain forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and are set so to closely match the critical terms of the underlying cash flows. In hedges of forecasted foreign currency sales and purchases ineffectiveness may arise for similar reasons as outlined for metal forward contracts.

The fair values are based on Level 2 valuation techniques and observable inputs including the contract prices. The fair value of these contracts when initiated is $nil; no premium is paid or received.

NYMEX gas swaps

The Business hedges a portion of its anticipated energy purchases on the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX").

Fair values have been based on NYMEX quoted market prices and Level 2 valuation inputs have been applied. The fair value of these contracts when initiated is $nil; no premium is paid or received.

17. Employee benefit obligations

The Business operates defined benefit or defined contribution pension schemes in most of its countries of operation and the assets are held in separately administered funds. The principal funded defined benefit schemes, which are funded by contributions to separately administered funds, are in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Other defined benefit schemes are unfunded and the provision is recognized in the combined statement of financial position. The principal unfunded schemes are in Germany.

The contribution rates to the funded plans are agreed with the Trustee boards, plan actuaries and the local pension regulators periodically. The contributions paid in each period were those recommended by the actuaries.

In addition, the Business has other employee benefit obligations in certain territories.

Total employee obligations recognized in the combined statement of financial position of $219 million (2019: $184 million; 2018: $151 million; January 1, 2018: $139 million) includes other employee benefit obligations of $52 million (2019: $46 million; 2018: $40 million; January 1, 2018: $40 million).

The pension assets do not include any of Ardagh's or the Business' ordinary shares, other securities or other Business assets.

Investment strategy

The choice of investments takes account of the expected maturity of the future benefit payments. The plans invest in diversified portfolios consisting of an array of asset classes that attempt to maximize

F-49

Table of Contents

THE AMP BUSINESS

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

17. Employee benefit obligations (Continued)

returns while minimizing volatility. The asset classes include fixed income government and non-government securities and real estate, as well as cash.

Characteristics and associated risks

The pension plans in Germany operate under the framework of German Company Pension Law (BetrAVG) and general regulations based on German Labor Law. The entitlements of the plan members depend on years of service and final salary. Furthermore, the plans provide lifelong pensions. No separate assets are held in trust, i.e. the plans are unfunded defined benefit plans. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Business elected to re-design its pension scheme in Germany, moving to a contribution orientated scheme.

The U.K. pension plan is a trust-based U.K. funded final salary defined benefit scheme providing pensions and lump sum benefits to members and dependents. There is one pension plan in place relating to Ardagh Metal Beverage UK Limited and Ardagh Metal Beverage Trading UK Limited. It is closed to new entrants and was closed to future accrual effective December 31, 2018. For this plan, pensions are calculated either based on service to December 31, 2018, with members' benefits based on earnings as at December 31, 2018, for those members who were still active at that date, or based on service to the earlier of retirement or leaving date for members who stopped accruing benefits prior to 31 December 2018 based on earnings as at retirement or leaving date. The U.K. pension plan is governed by a board of trustees, which includes members who are independent of the Company. The trustees are responsible for managing the operation, funding and investment strategy. The U.K. pension plan is subject to the U.K. regulatory framework, the requirements of the Pensions Regulator and is subject to a statutory funding objective.

Metal Beverage Packaging Americas together with Ardagh's Glass business in North America sponsor a defined benefit pension plan as a single employer scheme which is subject to Federal law ("ERISA"), reflecting regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the U.S. Department of Labor. The Metal Beverage Packaging Americas plan covers hourly employees only. Plan benefits are determined using a formula which reflects the employees' years of service and is based on a final average pay formula. If common ownership of the two sponsoring employers is below 80% as of any scheme valuation the scheme would no longer be able to operate as a single employer scheme.

Assumptions and sensitivities

The principal pension assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements take account of the different economic circumstances in the countries of operations and the different characteristics

If the discount rate were to decrease by 50 basis points from management estimates, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would increase by an estimated $54 million (2019: $49 million, 2018: $44 million; January 1, 2018: $50 million). If the discount rate were to increase by 50 basis points, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would decrease by an estimated $47 million (2019: $42 million, 2018: $39 million; January 1, 2018: $44 million).

If the inflation rate were to decrease by 50 basis points from management estimates, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would decrease by an estimated $23 million (2019: $20 million, 2018: $22 million; January 1, 2018: $24 million). If the inflation rate were to increase by 50 basis points, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would increase by an estimated $24 million (2019: $22 million, 2018: $24 million; January 1, 2018: $26 million).

If the salary increase rate were to decrease by 50 basis points from management estimates, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would decrease by an estimated $26 million (2019: $23 million, 2018: $25 million; January 1, 2018: $29 million). If the salary increase rate were to increase by 50 basis points, the carrying amount of the pension obligations would increase by an estimated $27 million (2019: $26 million, 2018: $28 million; January 1, 2018: $32 million).

The impact of increasing the life expectancy by one year would result in an increase in the net pension obligation of the Business of $15 million at December 31, 2020 (2019: $12 million, 2018: $8 million; January 1, 2018: $12 million), holding all other assumptions constant.

The best estimate of contributions expected to be paid to defined benefit schemes of the Business in 2021 is approximately $1 million.

24. Contingencies (Continued)

•
  the discharge of waste water and disposal of waste;
•
  the remediation of contamination;
•
  the design, characteristics, collection and recycling of its packaging products; and
•
  the manufacturing and servicing of machinery and equipment for the container metal packaging industry.

The Business believes, based on current information that it is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and permit requirements. It does not believe it will be required, under existing or anticipated future environmental laws and regulations, to expend amounts, over and above the amounts accrued, which will have a material effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations or cash flows. In addition, no material proceedings against the Business arising under environmental laws are pending.

Legal matter

The Business is involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. The Business believes that none of these proceedings, either individually or in aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

25. Other information

Although COVID-19, and the measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, have resulted in reduced global economic activity, demand for "at-home" consumption has increased and therefore demand for many of our customer's products and as a result for the products we manufacture has proven to be resilient to date during the pandemic. Our production has not been significantly impacted to date, however our plants may be required to curtail or cease production in order to respond to any future measures which may arise in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In addition, the pandemic may in the future impact on capital markets which could impact our cost of borrowing. The ultimate significance of the disruptions arising as a result of COVID-19, including the extent of their impact on our financial and operational results, will be determined by the duration of the ongoing pandemic, its severity in the markets that we serve and the nature and efficacy of government and other regulatory responses, protective measures and vaccination programs and the related impact on macroeconomic activity and consumer behavior.

26. Events after the reporting period (Continued)

Additional investors have committed to participate in the proposed business combination by purchasing 60 million shares of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $600 million in a private placement at $10.00 per share. In connection with the transactions, the Company intends to raise new debt of approximately $2.65 billion, (approximately $2.3 billion net). Assuming no share redemptions by the public stockholders of Gores Holdings V, approximately $525 million in cash held in Gores Holdings V's trust account, together with the $600 million in private placement proceeds and approximately $2.3 billion of the new debt raised by the Company, will be used to pay up to $3.4 billion in cash to Ardagh, as well as to pay transaction expenses. Upon closing of the transactions, assuming no redemptions by Gores Holdings V's public stockholders, Ardagh will retain an equity interest in the Company of approximately 80%, the investors in the private placement will hold approximately 10% and Gores Holdings V's stockholders and its sponsor will hold approximately 10%. Ardagh intends to remain a committed, long-term majority shareholder of the Company.

The proposed business combination, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both Ardagh and Gores Holdings V, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to receipt of Gores Holdings V stockholder approval, approval of the Company's shares for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, the satisfaction of the condition to Ardagh's obligations that it receives at least $3 billion in cash from the transactions and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

In connection with the reorganization, Ardagh and the Company will enter into a shareholders agreement and a services agreement. Under the services agreement, Ardagh either directly or indirectly through its affiliates, will provide certain corporate and business-unit services to the Company, and the Company, either directly or indirectly through its affiliates, will provide certain corporate and business-unit services to Ardagh. The initial term of the services agreement is expected to end on December 31, 2024.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED, INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Gores Holdings V, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on June 25, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination"). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenue to date. The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the Business Combination. The Company's Sponsor is Gores Sponsor V, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor"). The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year-end.

The Company completed the Public Offering on August 10, 2020 (the "IPO Closing Date"). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its Business Combination, at the earliest. Subsequent to the Public Offering, the Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

Proposed Business Combination

On February 22, 2021, the "Company" entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among the Company, Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. ("AMPSA"), Ardagh Group S.A. ("AGSA") and Ardagh MP MergeCo Inc. ("MergeCo"), which provides for, among other things: (a) a series of transactions that will result in the subsidiaries of AGSA that are engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling metal beverage cans and ends and providing related technical and customer services becoming wholly-owned by AMPSA (the "Pre-Closing Restructuring"), and (b) the merger of MergeCo with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMPSA (the "Merger", and, together with the Pre-Closing Restructuring and other transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement, the "Proposed Business Combination").

The Proposed Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 22, 2021 and the Board of Directors of AGSA on February 22, 2021.

The Business Combination Agreement

Proposed Business Combination Consideration

The aggregate consideration to be paid to AGSA pursuant to the Transfer Agreement (as defined within the Business Combination Agreement) and the Business Combination Agreement consists of (a) $2,315,000,000, payable in cash and in equivalent in U.S. dollars or euros (or a combination thereof), (b) 484,956,250 shares of AMPSA, with a nominal value of EUR 0.01 per share (the "AMPSA Shares"), (c) a promissory note issued by AMPSA in the amount of $1,085,000,000, to be paid in cash at the consummation of the Merger (the "Closing") or, in certain circumstances, a combination of cash and AMPSA Shares, and (d) the right to receive, during the five- year period commencing 180 days after the Closing 60,730,000 additional AMPSA Shares in five equal installments depending on whether the price of AMPSA Shares maintains for a certain period of time a volume weighted average price of $13.00, $15.00, $16.50, $18.00 or $19.50 (collectively, the "AGSA Consideration").

Representations and Warranties

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of AMPSA, AGSA, GHV and MergeCo relating to, among other things, their ability to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and their outstanding capitalization.

Covenants

The Business Combination Agreement includes customary covenants of the parties with respect to operation of their respective businesses prior to consummation of the Proposed Business Combination and efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Proposed Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement also contains additional covenants of the parties, including, among others, covenants providing for the Company and AGSA to cooperate in the preparation of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and Registration Statement (as each such term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement) required to be filed in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. The covenants of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement will not survive the Closing, except for those covenants that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part after the Closing.

Conditions to Consummation of the Proposed Business Combination

The consummation of the Proposed Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, (a) no action or governmental order or law shall have been enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination or would cause any part of the Proposed Business Combination to be rescinded following the Closing; (b) the proposal to adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Proposed Business Combination shall have been approved and adopted by the requisite affirmative vote of the Company stockholders; (c) a Luxembourg statutory independent auditor (réviseur d'entreprises agréé) of AMPSA shall have issued appropriate reports regarding the contributions relating to the AMPSA Shares to be issued to the Company stockholders or AGSA as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement; (d) all closing conditions to the private placement pursuant to which investors will purchase 60,000,000 AMPSA Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the "PIPE Shares") shall have been satisfied or waived and the $600,000,000 gross proceeds from the private placement shall have been paid to AMPSA on the date the Merger is consummated; (e) the Registration Statement of which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus forms a part shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act and no stop order or proceedings for purposes of suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement shall have been initiated by the SEC and not withdrawn; and (f) the AMPSA Shares shall have been approved for listing on NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance.

Private Placement Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on February 22, 2021, AMPSA and the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (each, a "Subscription Agreement" and collectively, the "Subscription Agreements") with certain investors and Gores Sponsor V LLC (the "Sponsor"), pursuant to which the investors and the Sponsor agreed to purchase, and AMPSA agreed to sell to the investors and the Sponsor the PIPE Shares for an aggregate cash amount of $600,000,000.

The issuance of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Proposed

F-66

Table of Contents

GORES HOLDINGS V, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED, INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

Business Combination. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, AMPSA agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the date of Closing, it will file with the SEC (at AMPSA's sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares, and AMPSA will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

Financing

Upon the closing of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $525,000,000 was placed in a Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the "Trust Account").

The Company intends to finance a Business Combination with the net proceeds from its $525,000,000 Public Offering and its sale of $12,500,000 of Private Placement Warrants.

Trust Account

Funds held in the Trust Account can be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. As of March 31, 2021, the Trust Account consisted of money market funds.

The Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to fund regulatory compliance requirements and other costs related thereto (a "Regulatory Withdrawal") for a maximum 24 months and/or additional amounts necessary to pay franchise and income taxes, if any, none of the funds held in trust will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; or (ii) the redemption of any public shares of common stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of such public shares of common stock if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares of common stock if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, subject to the requirements of law and stock exchange rules.

Business Combination

The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest income earned) at the time of the Company signing a definitive agreement in connection with the Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

1. Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest income but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest income but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under NASDAQ rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. Currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares of common stock in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares of common stock and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.

As a result of the foregoing redemption provisions, the public shares of common stock will be recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" ("ASC 480") in subsequent periods.

The Company will have 24 months from the IPO Closing Date to complete its Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period of time, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares of common stock for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest income, but less taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of such net interest income to pay dissolution expenses) and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company's net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. The Sponsor and the Company's officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below); however, if the Sponsor or any of the Company's officers, directors or affiliates acquire public shares of common stock, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time period.

In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Public Offering.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of March 31, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year or any other period. The Company was formed on June 25, 2020. Therefore, these financials statements do not include comparative statements to prior 2020 periods.

Net Income/(Loss) Per Common Share

The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A Common Stock (the "Common Stock") and Class F Common Stock (the "Founders Shares"). Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Private and public warrants to purchase 16,750,000 shares of Common Stock at $11.50 per share were issued on August 10, 2020. At March 31, 2021, no warrants have been exercised. The 16,750,000 potential common shares for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company's stock were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution as well as the Trust Account, which at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," ("ASC 820") approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity—SEC Materials" ("ASC 340-10-S99") and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A—"Expenses of Offering." Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to our Public Offering and were charged to equity upon the completion of our Public Offering.

Redeemable Common Stock

As discussed in Note 3, all of the 52,500,000 Class A Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A Common Stock has been classified outside of permanent equity.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED, INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

For those liabilities or benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2021.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income amounts in various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, states or foreign tax laws.

The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with and the credit quality of the financial institutions with which it invests. Periodically, the Company may maintain balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

Investments and Cash Held in Trust Account

At March 31, 2021, the Company had $525,033,518 in the Trust Account which may be utilized for Business Combinations. At March 31, 2021, the Trust Account consisted of money market funds.

The Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, none of the funds held in trust will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares of common stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of such public shares of common stock if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares of common stock if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, subject to the requirements of law and stock exchange rules.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company's common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's statement of operations. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements based on current operations of the Company. The impact of any recently issued accounting standards will be re-evaluated on a regular basis or if a business combination is completed where the impact could be material.

Going Concern Consideration

If the Company does not complete its Business Combination by August 10, 2022, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the common stock sold as part of the units in the Public Offering, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of franchise and income taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of such net interest which may be distributed to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining stockholders

and the Company's Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the Public Offering. In addition, if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination by August 10, 2022, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless.

In addition, at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had current liabilities of $31,489,936 and $34,235,359, respectively and working capital of ($31,012,963) and ($33,175,454), the balances of which are primarily related to warrants we have recorded as liabilities as described in Notes 2 and 3. Other amounts related to accrued expenses owed to professionals, consultants, advisors and others who are working on seeking a Business Combination as described in Note 1. Such work is continuing after March 31, 2021 and amounts are continuing to accrue.

3. Public Offering

Public Units

On August 10, 2020, the Company sold 52,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the "Units"), including 5,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriters' partial exercise of their over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $525,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one-fifth of one redeemable Class A common stock purchase warrant (the "Warrants"). Each Whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock for $11.50 per share. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, if the Company does not complete the Business Combination on or prior to the 24-month period allotted to complete the Business Combination, the Warrants will expire at the end of such period. The Warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and the Company. The Company did not register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or any state securities law. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities Act following the completion of the Business Combination covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of 2.00% ($10,500,000) of the per Unit offering price to the underwriters at the closing of the Public Offering, with an additional fee (the "Deferred Discount") of 3.50% ($18,375,000) of the per Unit offering price payable upon the Company's completion of a Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination.

The public warrants issued as part of the Units are accounted for as liabilities as there are terms and features do not qualify for equity classification in ASC Topic 815-40 "Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity." The fair value of the public warrants at December 31, 2020 was a

F-73

liability of $21,105,000. At March 31, 2021, the fair value has decreased to $16,275,000. The change in fair value of $4,830,000 is reflected as a gain in the statement of operations.

All of the 52,500,000 Class A Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Class A Common Stock was issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of Class A Common Stock classified as temporary equity is the allocated proceeds based on the guidance in ASC Topic 470-20, "Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options."

Our Class A Common Stock is subject to SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).

As of March 31, 2021, the Class A Common Stock reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table. The accretion of carrying value to redemption value was recognized on December 31, 2020, and there has been no additional accretion for the three months ended March 31, 2021:

4. Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On July 14, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 11,500,000 shares of Class F common stock (the "Founder Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. Subsequently, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 Founder Shares to the Company's independent directors (together with the Sponsor, the "Initial Stockholders"). On August 5, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend with respect to the Company's Founder Shares of 2,156,250 shares thereof, resulting in the Company's initial stockholders holding an aggregate of 13,656,250 shares of Class F Common Stock. On September 21, 2020, the Sponsor forfeited 531,250 Founder Shares following the expiration of the unexercised portion of underwriters' over-allotment option, so that the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders would represent 20.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock following completion of the Public Offering. The Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Units sold in the Public Offering except that the Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

The sale of the Founders Shares is in the scope of ASC Topic 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Founders Shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence. As of December 31, 2020, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares that ultimately vest multiplied times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares.

Private Placement Warrants

The Sponsor purchased from the Company an aggregate of 6,250,000 warrants at a price of $2.00 per warrant (a purchase price of $12,500,000) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the Public Offering (the "Private Placement Warrants"). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account pending completion of the Business Combination.

The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants sold as part of the units in the Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants may be physical (cash) or net share (cashless) settled and are not redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, then the Private Placement Warrants proceeds will be part of the liquidation distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

4. Related Party Transactions (Continued)

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, have registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to common shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by the Company, the Sponsor and the other security holders named therein on August 10, 2020. These holders will also have certain demand and "piggy back" registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Sponsor Loan

On July 14, 2020, Company borrowed $300,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor for $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Public Offering. These Notes were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2021 or the completion of the Public Offering. These Notes were repaid in full upon the completion of the Public Offering.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an administrative services agreement on August 3, 2020, pursuant to which it agreed to pay to an affiliate of the Sponsor $20,000 a month for office space, utilities and secretarial support. Services commenced on the date the securities were first listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and will terminate upon the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 the Company has paid the affiliate $60,000.

5. Deferred Underwriting Compensation

The Company is committed to pay a deferred underwriting discount totaling $18,375,000 or 3.50% of the gross offering proceeds of the Public Offering, to the underwriters upon the Company's consummation of a Business Combination. The underwriters are not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount, and no Deferred Discount is payable to the underwriters if there is no Business Combination.

6. Income Taxes

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The Company's effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the fair value on instruments treated as debt for GAAP and equity for tax purposes, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, for 2021.

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

6. Income Taxes (Continued)

The Company has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the financial statements to determine if the tax positions are "more likely than not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the "more likely than not" threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Company has concluded that there was no impact related to uncertain tax positions on the results of its operations for the period ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company's conclusions regarding tax positions will be subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof.

7. Investments and Cash Held in Trust

As of March 31, 2021, investment securities in the Company's Trust Account consist of $525,033,518 in money market funds.

8. Fair Value Measurement

The Company complies with ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Warrants

The Company has determined that warrants issued in connection with its initial public offering in August 2020 are subject to treatment as a liability. The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation methodology to value the warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability is determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The key assumptions in the option pricing model utilized are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The expected volatility as of the IPO Closing Date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable 'blank-check' companies that recently went public in 2020 and 2021. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were observable transactions in the Company's public warrants and correspondingly an implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the interpolated U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury yield. The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be six months until the close of a Business Combination, and the contractual five year term subsequently. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

The Warrants were classified as Level 2 at the respective measurement dates.

8. Fair Value Measurement (Continued)

The key inputs into the option model for the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants were as follows for the relevant periods:

|  | As of |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | December 31, 2020 |  | March 31, 2021 |
Volatility |  |  | 24.8 | % |  | 21.1 | %
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 0.43 | % |  | 1.01 | %
Warrant exercise price |  | $ | 11.50 |  | $ | 11.50 |
Expected term |  |  | 5.5 |  |  | 5.4 |

Subsequent Measurement

The Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The subsequent measurement of the Public and Private Warrants as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are classified as Level 2 due to the use of both observable inputs in an active market as well as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

As of March 31, 2021, the aggregate values of the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants were $9.7 million and $16.3 million, respectively, based on the closing price of GRSVW on that date of $1.55.

As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate values of the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants were $12.6 million and $21.1 million, respectively, based on the closing price of GRSVW on that date of $2.01.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities:

|  | Private placement warrants |  | Public warrants |  | Total warrant liabilities |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Fair value at December 31, 2020 |  | $ | 12,562,500 |  | $ | 21,105,000 |  | $ | 33,667,500 |
Change in fair value |  |  | (2,875,000 | ) |  | (4,830,000 | ) |  | (7,705,000 | )
Fair value at March 31, 2021 |  | $ | 9,687,500 |  | $ | 16,275,000 |  | $ | 25,962,500 |

The following table presents information about the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are

GORES HOLDINGS V, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Gores Holdings V, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on June 25, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination"). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the Business Combination. The Company's Sponsor is Gores Sponsor V, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor"). The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year-end.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 25, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 relates to the Company's formation and initial public offering ("Public Offering") described below. The Company completed the Public Offering on August 10, 2020 (the "IPO Closing Date"). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its Business Combination, at the earliest. Subsequent to the Public Offering, the Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

Proposed Business Combination

On February 22, 2021, the "Company" entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among the Company, Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. ("AMPSA"), Ardagh Group S.A. ("AGSA") and Ardagh MP MergeCo Inc. ("MergeCo"), which provides for, among other things: (a) a series of transactions that will result in the subsidiaries of AGSA that are engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling metal beverage cans and ends and providing related technical and customer services becoming wholly-owned by AMPSA (the "Pre-Closing Restructuring"), and (b) the merger of MergeCo with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMPSA (the "Merger", and, together with the Pre-Closing Restructuring and other transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement, the "Proposed Business Combination").

The Proposed Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 22, 2021 and the Board of Directors of AGSA on February 22, 2021.

The Business Combination Agreement

Proposed Business Combination Consideration

The aggregate consideration to be paid to AGSA pursuant to the Transfer Agreement (as defined within the Business Combination Agreement) and the Business Combination Agreement consists of (a) $2,315,000,000, payable in cash and in equivalent in U.S. dollars or euros (or a combination thereof), (b) 484,956,250 shares of AMPSA, with a nominal value of EUR 0.01 per share (the "AMPSA Shares"), (c) a promissory note issued by AMPSA in the amount of $1,085,000,000, to be paid in cash at the consummation of the Merger (the "Closing") or, in certain circumstances, a combination of cash and AMPSA Shares, and (d) the right to receive, during the five-year period commencing 180 days after the Closing 60,730,000 additional AMPSA Shares in five equal installments depending on whether

the price of AMPSA Shares maintains for a certain period of time a volume weighted average price of $13.00, $15.00, $16.50, $18.00 and $19.50, as applicable (collectively, the "AGSA Consideration").

Representations and Warranties

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of AMPSA, AGSA, GHV and MergeCo relating to, among other things, their ability to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and their outstanding capitalization.

Covenants

The Business Combination Agreement includes customary covenants of the parties with respect to operation of their respective businesses prior to consummation of the Proposed Business Combination and efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Proposed Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement also contains additional covenants of the parties, including, among others, covenants providing for the Company and AGSA to cooperate in the preparation of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and Registration Statement (as each such term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement) required to be filed in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. The covenants of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement will not survive the Closing, except for those covenants that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part after the Closing.

Conditions to Consummation of the Proposed Business Combination

The consummation of the Proposed Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, (a) no action or governmental order or law shall have been enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination or would cause any part of the Proposed Business Combination to be rescinded following the Closing; (b) the proposal to adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Proposed Business Combination shall have been approved and adopted by the requisite affirmative vote of the Company stockholders; (c) a Luxembourg statutory independent auditor (réviseur d'entreprises agréé) of AMPSA shall have issued appropriate reports regarding the contributions relating to the AMPSA Shares to be issued to the Company stockholders or AGSA as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement; (d) all closing conditions to the private placement pursuant to which investors will purchase 60,000,000 AMPSA Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the "PIPE Shares") shall have been satisfied or waived and the $600,000,000 gross proceeds from the private placement shall have been paid to AMPSA on the date the Merger is consummated; (e) the Registration Statement of which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus forms a part shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act and no stop order or proceedings for purposes of suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement shall have been initiated by the SEC and not withdrawn; and (f) the AMPSA Shares shall have been approved for listing on NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance.

Private Placement Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on February 22, 2021, AMPSA and the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (each, a "Subscription Agreement" and collectively, the "Subscription Agreements") with certain investors and Gores Sponsor V LLC (the

F-86

1. Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

"Sponsor"), pursuant to which the investors and the Sponsor agreed to purchase, and AMPSA agreed to sell to the investors and the Sponsor the PIPE Shares for an aggregate cash amount of $600,000,000.

The issuance of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Proposed Business Combination. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, AMPSA agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the date of Closing, it will file with the SEC (at AMPSA's sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares, and AMPSA will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

Financing

Upon the closing of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $525,000,000 was placed in a Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Trust Account") acting as Trustee.

The Company intends to finance a Business Combination with the net proceeds from its $525,000,000 Public Offering and its sale of $12,500,000 of Private Placement Warrants.

Trust Account

Funds held in the Trust Account can be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. As of December 31, 2020, the Trust Account consisted of money market funds.

The Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to fund regulatory compliance requirements and other costs related thereto (a "Regulatory Withdrawal") for a maximum 24 months and/or additional amounts necessary to pay franchise and income taxes, if any, none of the funds held in trust will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; or (ii) the redemption of any public shares of common stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of such public shares of common stock if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares of common stock if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, subject to the requirements of law and stock exchange rules.

Business Combination

The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest income but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest income but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under Nasdaq rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. Currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares of common stock in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares of common stock and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.

As a result of the foregoing redemption provisions, the public shares of common stock will be recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" ("ASC 480") in subsequent periods.

The Company will have 24 months from the IPO Closing Date to complete its Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period of time, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares of common stock for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest income, but less taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of such net interest income to pay dissolution expenses) and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company's net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. The Sponsor and the Company's officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below); however, if the Sponsor or any of the Company's officers, directors or affiliates acquire public shares of common stock, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time period.

In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Public Offering.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

2. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

We previously accounted for outstanding warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering in August 2020 as components of equity rather than as derivative liabilities. In light of the Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPACs") issued by the staff of the SEC issued on dated April 12, 2021 (the "SEC Staff Statement"), the Company's management further evaluated the warrants under Accounting Standards Codification 815-40, Contracts in Entity's Own Equity ("ASC 815-40"), which addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer's common stock. In the process of evaluating its financial statements the Company also restated its financial statements to classify all Class A Common Stock in temporary equity. In accordance with SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified 2,268,941 shares in permanent equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The Company restated its financial statements to classify all Class A Common Stock as temporary equity and any related impact, as the threshold in its charter would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity.

Based on management's evaluation, the Audit Committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company's warrants are not indexed to the Company's common stock in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40. As a result, the Company is reclassifying the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at their estimated fair values at the end of each reporting period and recognizing changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative instruments from the prior period should be reported in the Company's operating results for the current period.

The Company's accounting for the warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities, and the reclassification of amounts from permanent equity to temporary equity result in non-cash financial statement corrections and will have no impact on the Company's current or

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of December 31, 2020 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the period ended December 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year or any other period.

Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A Common Stock (the "Common Stock") and Class F Common Stock (the "Founders Shares"). Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Private and public warrants to purchase 16,750,000 shares of Common Stock at $11.50 per share were issued on August 10, 2020. No warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2020. The 16,750,000 potential common shares for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company's stock were excluded from diluted earnings per share in 2020 as the Company had a net loss for the year As a result, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the period.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution as well as the Trust Account, which at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A—"Expenses of Offering." Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to our Public Offering and were charged to equity upon the completion of our Public Offering. Accordingly, offering costs totaling $22,771,349 were charged to equity. Since the Company is required to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities, offering costs totaling $792,306 that were previously recognized in equity are now reflected as an expense in the statement of operations.

Redeemable Common Stock

As discussed in Note 3, all of the 52,500,000 Class A Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. The Company had previously classified 2,268,941 shares in permanent equity given its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The Company restated its financial statements to classify all Class A Common Stock as redeemable as the threshold in its charter does not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing

F-93

GORES HOLDINGS V, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

For those liabilities or benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2020.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income amounts in various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, states or foreign tax laws.

The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with and the credit quality of the financial institutions with which it invests. Periodically, the Company may maintain balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

Investments and Cash Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2020, the Company had $525,020,571 in the Trust Account which may be utilized for Business Combinations. At December 31, 2020, the Trust Account consisted of money market funds.

The Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, none of the funds held in trust will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares of common stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of such public shares of common stock if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares of common stock if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, subject to the requirements of law and stock exchange rules.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company's common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's the statement of operations. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity

F-94

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model (see Note 9).

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements based on current operations of the Company. The impact of any recently issued accounting standards will be re-evaluated on a regular basis or if a business combination is completed where the impact could be material.

Going Concern Consideration

If the Company does not complete its Business Combination by August 10, 2022, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the common stock sold as part of the units in the Public Offering, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of franchise and income taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of such net interest which may be distributed to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining stockholders and the Company's Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the Public Offering. In addition, if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination by August 10, 2022, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless.

In addition, at December 31, 2020, the Company had current liabilities of $34,235,359 and working capital of ($33,175,454), the balances of which are primarily related to warrants we have recorded as liabilities as described in Notes 2, 3, and 9. Other amounts related to accrued expenses owed to professionals, consultants, advisors and others who are working on seeking a Business Combination as described in Note 1. Such work is continuing after December 31, 2020 and amounts are continuing to accrue.

4. Public Offering

Public Units

On August 10, 2020, the Company sold 52,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the "Units"), including 5,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriter's partial exercise of its over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $525,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one-fifth of one redeemable Class A common stock purchase warrant (the "Warrants"). Each Whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock for $11.50 per share. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, if the Company does not complete the Business Combination on or prior to the 24-month period allotted to complete the Business Combination, the Warrants will expire at the end of such period. The Warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and the Company. The Company did not register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or any state securities law. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities Act following the completion of the Business Combination covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of 2.00% ($10,500,000) of the per Unit offering price to the underwriter at the closing of the Public Offering, with an additional fee (the "Deferred Discount") of 3.50% ($18,375,000) of the per Unit offering price payable upon the Company's completion of a Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination.

The public warrants issued as part of the Units are accounted for as liabilities as there are terms and features do not qualify for equity classification in ASC 815-40. The fair value of the public warrants at issuance date was a liability of $14,070,000. At December 31, 2020, the fair value has increased to $21,105,000. The change in fair value of $7,035,000 is reflected as an expense in the statement of operations.

All of the 52,500,000 Class A Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Class A Common Stock was issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of Class A Common Stock classified as temporary equity is the allocated proceeds based on the guidance in ASC 470-20.

Our Class A Common Stock are subject to SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to

recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).

As of December 31, 2020, the Class A Common Stock reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

5. Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On July 14, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 11,500,000 shares of Class F Common Stock (the "Founder Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. On August 3, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of the Company's three independent directors (together with the Sponsor, the "Initial Stockholders") at their original purchase price. On August 5, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend with respect to the Company's Founder Shares of 2,156,250 shares thereof, resulting in the Company's Initial Stockholders holding an aggregate of 13,656,250 shares of Class F Common Stock. On September 21, 2020, the Sponsor forfeited 531,250 Founder Shares following the expiration of the unexercised portion of underwriter's over-allotment option, so that the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders would represent 20.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock following completion of the Public Offering. The Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Units sold in the Public Offering except that the Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

The sale of the Founders Shares is in the scope of ASC Topic 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation." Under ASC Topic 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Founders Shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence. As of December 31, 2020, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable

(i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares that ultimately vest multiplied times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares.

Private Placement Warrants

The Sponsor purchased from the Company an aggregate of 6,250,000 warrants at a price of $2.00 per warrant (a purchase price of $12,500,000) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the Public Offering (the "Private Placement Warrants"). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account pending completion of the Business Combination.

The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants sold as part of the units in the Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants may be physical (cash) or net share (cashless) settled and are not redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, then the Private Placement Warrants proceeds will be part of the liquidation distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, have registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to common shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by the Company, the Sponsor and the other security holders named therein on August 10, 2020. These holders will also have certain demand and "piggy back" registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Sponsor Loan

On July 14, 2020, Company borrowed $300,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor for $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Public Offering. This Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2021 or the completion of the Public Offering. This Note was repaid in full upon the completion of the Public Offering.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an administrative services agreement on August 3, 2020, pursuant to which it agreed to pay to an affiliate of the Sponsor $20,000 a month for office space, utilities and secretarial support. Services commenced on the date the securities were first listed on Nasdaq and will terminate upon the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

For the period commencing August 3, 2020 through December 31, 2020 the Company has paid the affiliate $96,774.

6. Deferred Underwriting Compensation

The Company is committed to pay a deferred underwriting discount totaling $18,375,000 or 3.50% of the gross offering proceeds of the Public Offering, to the underwriters upon the Company's consummation of a Business Combination. The underwriters are not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount, and no Deferred Discount is payable to the underwriters if there is no Merger.

7. Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate Reconciliation

The Company's effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the fair value on instruments treated as debt for GAAP and equity for tax purposes, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, for 2020. A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax expense to the income tax expense from continuing operations provided at December 31, 2020 as follows:

8. Investments and cash held in Trust

As of December 31, 2020, investment securities in the Company's Trust Account consist of $525,020,571 in money market funds.

9. Fair Value Measurement

The Company complies with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Warrants

The Company has determined that warrants issued in connection with its initial public offering in August 2020 are subject to treatment as a liability. The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation methodology to value the warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability is determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The key assumptions in the option pricing model utilized are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The expected volatility as of the IPO Closing Date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable 'blank-check' companies that recently went public in 2020 and 2021. The risk-free interest rate is based on the interpolated U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury yield. The expected term of the

F-100

GORES HOLDINGS V, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

9. Fair Value Measurement (Continued)

warrants is assumed to be six months until the close of a Business Combination, and the contractual five year term subsequently. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

The Warrants were classified as Level 2 at the respective measurement dates.

The key inputs into the option model for the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants were as follows for the relevant periods:

|  | As of |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | August 6, 2020 |  | September 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2020 |
Implied volatility |  |  | 21 | % |  | 21 | % |  | N/A | (1)
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 0.25 | % |  | 0.33 | % |  | 0.43 | %
Warrant exercise price |  | $ | 11.50 |  | $ | 11.50 |  | $ | 11.50 |
Expected term |  |  | 5.5 |  |  | 5.5 |  |  | 5.5 |

(1)
  At December 31, 2020 there were observable transactions in the Company's warrants so an implied volatility was not utilized.

Subsequent Measurement

The Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The subsequent measurement of the Public and Private Warrants as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 are classified as Level 2 due to the use of both observable inputs in an active market as well as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate values of the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants were $12.6 million and $21.1 million, respectively, based on the closing price of GRSVU on that date of $10.77.

As of September 30, 2020, the aggregate values of the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants were $9.4 million and $15.8 million, respectively, based on the closing price of GRSVU on that date of $10.35.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities:

|  | Private placement warrants |  | Public warrants |  | Total warrant liabilities |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Fair value when issued (August 2020) |  | $ | 8,375,000 |  | $ | 14,070,000 |  | $ | 22,445,000 |
Change in fair value from inception |  | $ | 4,187,500 |  | $ | 7,035,000 |  | $ | 11,222,500 |
Fair value at December 31, 2020 |  | $ | 12,562,500 |  | $ | 21,105,000 |  | $ | 33,667,500 |

The following table presents information about the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3

Section 6.11 Directors' and Officers' Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, AMPSA agrees that it shall, or shall cause a credit-worthy Subsidiary to, indemnify and hold harmless each current or former director or officer of GHV (each, together with such person's heirs, executors or administrators, a "D&O Indemnified Party") against any Losses suffered or incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to such D&O Indemnified Party's service as a director or officer of GHV at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that GHV would have been permitted under the GHV Organizational Documents as of the date hereof to indemnify such D&O Indemnified Parties (including the advancement of expenses). Without limiting the foregoing, AMPSA agrees that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses existing as of the date hereof in favor of each D&O Indemnified Party, as provided in the GHV Organizational Documents or in any indemnification agreement with GHV shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, AMPSA shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the GHV Organizational Documents as in effect as of the date hereof or in any indemnification agreement between GHV and any D&O Indemnified Party as in effect as of the date hereof, and AMPSA shall cause the Surviving Corporation to not amend, repeal, or otherwise modify any such provision in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of any D&O Indemnified Party thereunder; provided, that all rights to exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Actions pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Closing, AMPSA shall cause its applicable Subsidiary and the Surviving Corporation to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.11(a).

(b) Prior to the Closing, GHV shall purchase a "tail" or "runoff" directors' and officers' liability insurance policy (the "D&O Tail") in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each director or officer of GHV who is currently covered by a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy of GHV on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts that are no less favorable to such person on the whole than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement for the six (6)-year period following the Closing. AMPSA shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain the D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term in accordance with this Section 6.11(b).

(c) The rights of each D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Person may have under the Organizational Documents of AMPSA, any other AMP Entity or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, any other indemnification agreement or arrangement with any of the foregoing to which they are a party, any Law or otherwise. The obligations of AMPSA, the other AMP Entities, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries under this Section 6.11 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 6.11.

A-56

Section 6.12 Trust Account.

(a) Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII and provision of notice thereof to the Trustee (which notice GHV shall provide to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement), (i) in accordance with and pursuant to the Trust Agreement, at the Closing, GHV shall (A) cause the documents, opinions and notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered, and (B) use reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to (1) pay as and when due all amounts payable to GHV Stockholders in accordance with the GHV Stock Redemption, and (2) immediately thereafter, pay all remaining amounts then available in the Trust Account in accordance with this Agreement and the Trust Agreement, and (ii) thereafter, the Trust Account shall terminate, except as otherwise provided therein.

(b) For and in consideration of GHV entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Ardagh agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, Ardagh and the AMP Entities do not now have, and shall not at any time prior to the Closing have, any claim to, or make any claim against, the Trust Account, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, the business relationship between, Ardagh or any of the AMP Entities, on the one hand, and GHV, on the other hand, this Agreement, or any other agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, each of Ardagh and the AMP Entities hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim it may have, now or in the future in or to the Trust Account and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, contracts or agreements with GHV, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever in respect thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver will not limit or prohibit or limit Ardagh or any of the AMP Entities from (i) pursuing a claim against GHV pursuant to this Agreement for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions or (ii) pursuing any claims that Ardagh or any of the AMP Entities may have against GHV's assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account. In the event that Ardagh or any of the AMP Entities commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to GHV, which Action seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account in violation of the foregoing, GHV shall be entitled to recover from Ardagh or the AMP Entities the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such Action, in the event GHV prevails in such Action.

(iv) Ardagh and AMPSA acknowledge that any GHV Stockholder who owns five percent (5%) or more of the total voting power or total value of the outstanding Shares immediately after the Closing, as determined under Section 367 of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, may enter into (and cause to be filed with the IRS) a gain recognition agreement in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(a)-8.

No amounts payable in respect of Transaction Expenses shall reduce the cash portion of the Ardagh Consideration paid to Ardagh by AMPSA pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 9.14 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not perform its obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, each without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.14 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

Section 9.15 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party to this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative of any named party to this Agreement and (b) no past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of GHV, AMPSA, MergeCo or Ardagh under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions.

WHEREAS, this Agreement is being entered into in connection with the proposed business combination (the "Transaction") pursuant to that certain business combination agreement, dated on or about the date hereof (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among the Company, GHV, Ardagh MP MergeCo Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MergeCo"), and Ardagh Group S.A., a public limited liability company (société anonyme) governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg with its registered office at 56, rue Charles Martel, L-2134 Luxembourg, and registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register under registration number B160804 ("Amsterdam"). Upon consummation of the Transaction, shares of the Company, each with a par value of EUR 0.01 (the "Shares"), will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange;

WHEREAS, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Amsterdam, through certain of its subsidiaries, is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling metal beverage cans and ends and related technical and customer services (the "AMP Business");

WHEREAS, prior to consummation of the Transaction, Amsterdam will transfer or cause to be transferred to subsidiaries of the Company the AMP Business subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the agreements contemplated therein;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction and as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and GHV are seeking commitments ("Subscriptions") from interested investors to subscribe for, concurrently with the completion of the merger contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement, Shares in a private transaction in which the Company expects to raise an aggregate amount of $600,000,000;

WHEREAS, the Shares to be subscribed for by the Purchaser (as set forth on the signature page hereto) pursuant to this Agreement are referred to herein as the "Acquired Shares," and the aggregate and per Share purchase price to be paid by the Purchaser (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the "Purchase Price"; and

WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company and GHV are entering into separate subscription agreements (collectively, the "Other Subscription Agreements") with certain investors (other than the Purchaser) (the "Other Purchasers").

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Purchaser and the Company agree as follows:

1. Subscription. The Purchaser hereby agrees to subscribe for, and the Company hereby agrees, subject to the receipt of the Purchase Price, to issue to the Purchaser, the Acquired Shares, all on the terms, and subject to the conditions, provided for herein. In the event that the Transaction is not consummated for any reason, or in the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, any amounts previously paid by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement will be returned promptly to the Purchaser, and this Agreement shall have no force or effect.

2. Closing. The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the "Closing") is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the merger contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement. Following delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) the Company to the Purchaser (the "Closing Notice") that the Company expects all conditions to the closing of the

Transaction to be satisfied on a date that is not less than three (3) Business Days (a "Business Day" meaning a day other than (x) a Saturday or Sunday or (y) any other day on which banks located in New York, NY, or Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are required or authorized by applicable law to be closed for business) from the date on which the Closing Notice is so delivered to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company, on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately prior to the closing date specified in the Closing Notice (such specified date, the "Closing Date"), the Purchase Price for the Acquired Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be specified in the Closing Notice, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below. On the Closing Date, the Company and the Purchaser shall perform the following actions:

a. the Company shall deliver a confirmation from the bank specified in the Closing Notice evidencing that the aggregate Purchase Price in respect of the Acquired Shares has been credited in full to the bank account specified in the Closing Notice;

b. Purchaser shall deliver a duly signed Subscription Form in the form of Schedule B;

c. the board of directors of the Company shall resolve to approve (within the limits and conditions set forth under the articles of association of the Company) the issuance of the Acquired Shares ("Capital Increase"); and

d. the Company shall, as soon as practicable following the approval of Capital Increase by the board of directors, deliver or cause to be delivered in book-entry form the Acquired Shares to the Purchaser or to a custodian designated by the Purchaser, as applicable.

Following the approval of the Capital Increase by the board of directors of the Company, an authorized person on behalf of the board of directors shall appear as soon as possible and in any event within thirty (30) days of the date of issuance of the Acquired Shares, in front of a Luxembourg notary to record the Capital Increase in a constat d'augmentation de capital.

3. Closing Conditions. The Closing is also subject to the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

a. all representations and warranties of the Company, GHV and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing Date (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects), but in each case without giving effect to consummation of the Transaction; provided that none of the Company, GHV or the Purchaser may rely on this closing condition if the failure of this closing condition to be satisfied results from the failure of such party's representations and warranties to be so true and correct or a breach by such party of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein;

b. there shall not have been enacted or promulgated any governmental order, law, statute, rule or regulation enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction;

c. all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, including the approval of GHV's stockholders and any regulatory approvals, shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the closing of the Transaction);

d. each party shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to Closing; provided that none of the Company, GHV or the Purchaser may rely on this closing condition if the failure of this closing condition to be satisfied results from a breach by such party of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein;

2

e. the Business Combination Agreement (as the same exists on the date of this Agreement) shall not have been modified, waived or amended to materially adversely affect the economic benefits that the Purchaser would reasonably expect to receive under this Agreement;

f. the Acquired Shares shall have been approved for listing on the NYSE; and

g. the share capital of the Company amounts to at least the equivalent of thirty thousand Euro (€30,000).

4. Further Assurances. At the Closing, the Company and the Purchaser shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as they reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the Subscription contemplated by this Agreement.

5. Company Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser that at the date of signature of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date:

b. At the Closing, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the AMP Business, and will have all corporate power and authority to run the AMP Business.

c. The Company has all requisite liability company power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance of the Acquired Shares to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof.

d. As of the Closing Date, the Acquired Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Acquired Shares will be validly issued and fully paid and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Company's organizational and constituent documents or under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

e. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance of the Acquired Shares to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of the Company. No other action on the part of the Company is necessary to authorize this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance of the Acquired Shares to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by GHV and the Purchaser) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or applicable equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) (the "Enforceability Exceptions").

f. The issuance of the Acquired Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of this Subscription will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any law, regulation, agreement or instrument binding upon the Company, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the AMP Business, that would be reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the

3

business, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operations of the AMP Business or the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a "Material Adverse Effect"), or materially affect the validity of the Acquired Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational and constitutional documents of the Company; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Acquired Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with this Agreement.

g. The Company has not entered into any agreement or arrangement entitling any agent, broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person to any broker's or finder's fee or any other commission or similar fee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the Purchaser could become directly liable (it being understood that the Purchaser will effectively bear its pro rata share of any such expense indirectly as a result of its investment in the Company). Other than Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and UBS Securities LLC (collectively, the "Placement Agents"), the Company is not aware of any person that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with this Subscription.

h. The description of the AMP Business to be included in the registration statement/proxy statement to be provided to the stockholders of GHV in connection with the Transaction shall not be materially inconsistent with the information included in the Disclosure Package (as defined below).

i. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser in Section 7, no registration of the Acquired Shares will be required under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in connection with the Subscription by the Purchaser.

j. Assuming the accuracy of GHV's and the Purchaser's representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6 and 7, respectively, the Company is not required to obtain any material consent, waiver or authorization of, give any notice to, or make any filing with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the issuance of the Acquired Shares pursuant to this Agreement, other than (i) the recording of the issuance of Shares in a constat d'augmentation de capital passed by a Luxembourg notary and the subsequent registration of such capital increase with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), (ii) filings required by applicable securities laws, (iii) the filings required in accordance with Section 11(q), (iv) those required by the NYSE, (v) those required to consummate the Transaction as provided under the Business Combination Agreement; and (vi) those whose failure to so obtain would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

k. A copy of each form, report, statement, schedule, prospectus, proxy, registration statement and other document, if any, filed by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date (the "SEC Documents") is available to the undersigned via the SEC's EDGAR system. None of the SEC Documents contained, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that with respect to the information about the Company's affiliates contained in any SEC Document to be

4

The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments.

l. The Company is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that the Company is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

m. Except for such matters as have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) action, suit, claim or other proceeding, in each case by or before any governmental authority pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, threatened in writing against the Company, or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against the Company.

n. The Other Subscription Agreements entered into or to be entered into by the Company in connection with the Transaction (or any agreements or understandings (including side letters) entered into or to be entered into in connection therewith or in connection with the purchase of Shares by the Other Purchasers) reflect the same per Share Purchase Price as set forth in this Agreement and do not contain any provisions that are more favorable from an economic perspective to such Other Subscribers or any affiliate or any party related thereto than the provisions of this Agreement (it being acknowledged and agreed that the right to syndicate Class A Shares pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreement with Gores Sponsor V LLC will not be a right provided to any Other Purchaser).

6. GHV Representations and Warranties. GHV represents and warrants to the Purchaser that at the date of signature of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date:

There are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the GHV SEC Documents.

d. GHV is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operations of GHV and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a "GHV Material Adverse Effect"). GHV has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that GHV is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a GHV Material Adverse Effect.

7. Purchaser Representations and Warranties. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that at the date of signature of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date:

a. The Purchaser (i) is a "qualified institutional buyer" (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional "accredited investor" (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is subscribing for the Acquired Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Purchaser is subscribing for the Acquired Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, the Purchaser has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not subscribing for the Acquired Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information on Schedule A). The Purchaser is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Acquired Shares.

b. The Purchaser understands that the Acquired Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Acquired Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Purchaser understands that the Acquired Shares may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Purchaser absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to the issuer of such securities or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur

6

outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of cases (i) and (iii) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that the Acquired Shares will be subject to a restrictive legend to such effect. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Acquired Shares will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Acquired Shares will be subject to the foregoing transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Purchaser may not be able to readily resell the Acquired Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Acquired Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Acquired Shares.

c. The Purchaser further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to the Purchaser, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements included in this Agreement (and any other agreements executed and delivered in connection with the Transaction to which the Purchaser is party, if any).

d. The Purchaser's subscription for and holding of the Acquired Shares does not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), Section 4975 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any applicable similar law.

e. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser has received such information as the Purchaser deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Shares, including, with respect to the Company, the AMP Business, the Transaction, GHV and Amsterdam. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Investor Presentation, dated as of February 11, 2021, provided by the Company and GHV (the "Disclosure Package"), and made its own assessment and is satisfied concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to the Purchaser's investment in the Acquired Shares. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has reviewed the documents made available to the Purchaser by the Company and GHV in the electronic data room hosted by the GHV in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser represents and agrees that the Purchaser and the Purchaser's professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such additional information about the Company, the AMP Business, the Transaction, GHV and Amsterdam as the Purchaser and such Purchaser's professional advisor(s), if any, have requested. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) none of the Placement Agents, or any affiliate of the Placement Agents, has provided the Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Acquired Shares nor is such information or advice necessary or desired and (ii) none of the Placement Agents nor any of their respective affiliates has prepared any disclosure or offering document in connection with the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares. None of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality or value of the Acquired Shares and the Placement Agents and any of their respective affiliates may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which the Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance of the Acquired Shares to the Purchaser, none of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees that none of the Placement Agents shall be liable to any Purchaser for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the Purchaser's purchase of the Acquired Shares.

7

f. The Purchaser became aware of this offering of the Acquired Shares solely by means of direct contact between the Purchaser and the Company, GHV or a representative of the Company or GHV, and the Acquired Shares were offered to the Purchaser solely by direct contact between the Purchaser and the Company, GHV or a representative of the Company or GHV. The Purchaser did not become aware of this offering of the Acquired Shares, nor were the Acquired Shares offered to the Purchaser, by any other means. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company represents and warrants that the Acquired Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

g. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the subscription for and ownership of the Acquired Shares, including those set forth in the Disclosure Package. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Acquired Shares, and the Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. The Purchaser (i) is an institutional account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c), (ii) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, and (iii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Acquired Shares. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the purchase and sale of the Acquired Shares hereunder meets (i) the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A) and (ii) the institutional customer exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b).

h. Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Purchaser has analyzed and considered the risks of an investment in the Acquired Shares and determined that the Acquired Shares are a suitable investment for the Purchaser and that the Purchaser is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Purchaser's investment in the Company. The Purchaser acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

i. In making its decision to purchase the Acquired Shares, the Purchaser has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser has not relied on any statements or other information provided by the Placement Agents concerning the Company, Amsterdam or the Acquired Shares.

j. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Acquired Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment or the accuracy or adequacy of the Disclosure Package.

k. If the Purchaser is not an individual, the Purchaser has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation. The Purchaser has the power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform the Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement.

l. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement are within the powers of the Purchaser, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound, and will not violate any provisions of the Purchaser's charter documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The Purchaser's signature on this Agreement is genuine, and the signatory has been

8

duly authorized and has legal competence and capacity to execute the same, and this Agreement is enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability hereof may be limited by Enforceability Exceptions.

m. Neither the due diligence investigation conducted by the Purchaser in connection with making its decision to subscribe for the Acquired Shares nor any representations and warranties made by the Purchaser herein shall modify, amend or affect the Purchaser's right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company's representations and warranties contained herein.

n. The Purchaser is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the United States Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC ("OFAC List"), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the United States Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank. The Purchaser agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the Purchaser is permitted to do so under applicable law. If the Purchaser is a financial institution subject to the United States Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the "BSA"), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the "PATRIOT Act"), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the "BSA/PATRIOT Act"), the Purchaser maintains written policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required by applicable law, the Purchaser maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Purchaser and used to subscribe for the Acquired Shares were legally derived.

o. To the Purchaser's knowledge, no disclosure (other than the Disclosure Package) or offering document has been prepared by the Company, GHV or the Placement Agents in connection with the offer and subscription for the Acquired Shares.

p. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Placement Agents and each of its directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have made no independent investigation with respect to the Company or the Acquired Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the undersigned by the Company.

q. In connection with the subscription for the Acquired Shares, the Placement Agents have not acted as the Purchaser's financial advisor or fiduciary.

r. The Purchaser will have sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price at the Closing.

s. The Placement Agents may rely upon these representations and warranties of the Purchaser.

t. The Purchaser hereby agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms), none of the Purchaser, its controlled affiliates, or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Purchaser or any of its controlled affiliates or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser or any of its controlled affiliates will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of GHV. For purposes of this Section 7, "Short Sales" shall include, without limitation, all "short sales" as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and, except as otherwise consented to by GHV and the Company, all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business

9

as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit any entities under common management or that share an investment advisor with Purchaser that have no knowledge of this Agreement or of Purchaser's participation in the transaction contemplated hereby (including Purchaser's controlled affiliates and/or other affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales; and (ii) in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser's assets, this Section 7(t) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Acquired Shares.

u. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is not acquiring the Acquired Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, a distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.

v. The Purchaser is not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act).

w. If the Purchaser is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the Code or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include "plan assets" of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a "Plan") subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, the Purchaser represents and warrants that it has not relied on the Company or any of its affiliates for investment advice as the Plan's fiduciary with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Acquired Shares, and none of the Company or any of its affiliates shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan's fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Acquired Shares.

8. Registration Rights.

a. The Company agrees that, no later than the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction, the Company will file with the SEC (at the Company's sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale by the Purchaser of the Acquired Shares (the "Registration Statement"), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the sixtieth (60th) calendar day (or the ninetieth (90th) calendar day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will "review" the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review. A substantially complete draft of the Registration Statement shall be provided to the Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to filing. The Company agrees to cause such registration statement or another shelf registration statement to remain effective until the earlier of (a) two (2) years from the issuance of the Acquired Shares, or (b) the first date on which the Purchaser can sell all of its Acquired

10

Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the United States Securities Act within ninety (90) days without limitation as to the amount or manner of sale of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). The Purchaser agrees to disclose its ownership to the Company upon request to assist the Company in making the determination described above. The Company's obligations to include the Acquired Shares (or shares issued in exchange therefor) in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Purchaser furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Purchaser, the securities of the Company held by the Purchaser and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, provided that Purchaser shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Acquired Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Acquired Shares or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of shares which is equal to the maximum number of shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Acquired Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended. For as long as the Purchaser holds Acquired Shares, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Purchaser to resell the Acquired Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

b. The Company may delay the filing of the registration statement or suspend the use of any such registration statement if it reasonably determines that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act (a "Suspension Event"); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. The Company shall not, when so advising Purchaser of such Suspension Event, provide Purchaser with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Purchaser of the occurrence of the Suspension Event might constitute material, nonpublic information regarding the Company. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Purchaser agrees that it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Purchaser receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales. If

11

so directed by the Company, Purchaser will deliver to the Company or, in Purchaser's sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in Purchaser's possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus shall not apply (A) to the extent Purchaser is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

c. Indemnification.

i. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Purchaser, its directors officers, members, stockholders, partners, agents, brokers, investment advisors and employees, and each person who controls Purchaser (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and the directors, officers, members, stockholders, partners, agents, brokers, investment advisors and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys' fees) (collectively, "Losses") based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement ("Prospectus") or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are based on or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use therein.

ii. In connection with any Registration Statement in which Purchaser is participating, Purchaser shall, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys' fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of Purchaser shall be several and not joint with any other investor and shall be limited to the net proceeds received by Purchaser from the sale of Acquired Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

d. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at its sole expense, to cause its legal counsel to (i) issue to the transfer agent a legal opinion instructing the transfer agent that, in connection with a sale or transfer of "restricted securities" (i.e., securities issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act), the resale or transfer of which restricted securities has been registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement by the holder thereof named in such Registration Statement, upon receipt of an appropriate broker representation letter and other such documentation as the Company's counsel deems necessary and appropriate and after confirming compliance with relevant prospectus delivery requirements, is authorized to remove any applicable restrictive legend in connection with such sale or transfer and (ii) if the Acquired Shares are not registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, issue to the transfer agent a legal opinion to facilitate the sale or transfer

12

of the Acquired Shares and removal of any restrictive legends pursuant to any exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act that may be available to a requesting Purchaser; provided that, (A) the Company and its counsel may request and rely upon customary representations from the Purchaser in connection with delivery of such opinion and (B) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its counsel will not be required to deliver any such opinion, authorization, certificate or direction if it reasonably believes that removal of the legend could result in or facilitate transfers of securities in violation of applicable law.

9. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, including if the Transaction has not been consummated by the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement or (c) at the election of the Purchaser, if the consummation of the Transaction shall not have occurred on or prior to September 30, 2021; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. If the Transaction is not consummated, the Company shall notify the Purchaser of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. This Agreement shall further terminate and be of no further force or effect, without any liability to any party hereto, if the Company notifies the Purchaser in writing that it has abandoned its plans to move forward with the Transaction and/or terminates the Purchaser's obligations with respect to the Subscription without the delivery of the Acquired Shares having occurred, provided that if the Purchase Price has been already paid pursuant to this Agreement at such time it shall be returned promptly by the Company to the Purchaser without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, or set-off.

10. Trust Account Waiver. The Purchaser acknowledges that GHV is a blank check company with the powers and privileges necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business or purposes of GHV, including, but not limited to effecting a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving GHV and one or more businesses or assets. The Purchaser further acknowledges that, as described in GHV prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated August 5, 2020 (the "IPO Prospectus") available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of GHV's assets consist of the cash proceeds of GHV's initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the "Trust Account") for the benefit of GHV, its public stockholders and the underwriters of GHV's initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to GHV to pay its tax obligations, if any, and for working capital, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the IPO Prospectus. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, provided however, that nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to limit the Purchaser's right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Purchaser's record or beneficial ownership of shares of common stock of GHV.

11. Miscellaneous.

a. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations that may accrue to the Purchaser hereunder may be transferred or assigned, in whole nor in part, without the prior written consent of the Company and GHV, which may be withheld by the Company and GHV in their absolute discretion, other than an assignment to any affiliate of the Purchaser or any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Purchaser or an affiliate thereof, subject to, if

13

such transfer or assignment is prior to the Closing, such transferee or assignee, as applicable, executing a joinder to this Agreement or a separate subscription agreement in substantially the same form as this Agreement.

b. The Company may request from the Purchaser such additional information as the Company may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Purchaser to subscribe for the Acquired Shares, and the Purchaser shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures provided that the Company agrees to keep any such information confidential except to the extent required to be disclosed by applicable law, including the securities laws or in connection with such filings, or the NYSE. The Purchaser acknowledges that GHV and the Company shall file a copy of this Agreement with the SEC.

c. The Purchaser acknowledges that each of the Company, GHV, the Placement Agents and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Purchaser of the Acquired Shares from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgements, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by the Purchaser as of the time of the purchase.

d. Each of the Company, GHV and the Placement Agents is irrevocably authorized to produce this Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

e. All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

f. This Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

g. This Agreement (and any other agreements executed and delivered in connection with the Transaction to which the Purchaser is party, if any) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not confer any third-party beneficiary, or other rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

h. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

i. If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the

14

remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

j. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall thereby be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any party hereto may execute and deliver signed counterparts of this Agreement to the other parties hereto by electronic mail or other electronic transmission in portable document format (.PDF) or any other electronic signature complying with the United States ESIGN Act of 2000 (including www.docusign.com), each of which shall be deemed an original.

k. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

l. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

m. Any action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought in any federal or state court located in New York County, New York, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action shall be effective if given as may be permitted by applicable law, and agrees not to bring any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any action brought pursuant to this Section 11(m).

n. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, Amsterdam, the Company, GHV or the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates or any of their control persons, officers, directors and employees) including the Disclosure Package, other than the statements, representations and warranties of the Company and GHV contained in this Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that each of the Placement Agents is a third-party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement to the extent such representations and warranties relate to the Placement Agents. The Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any Other Purchaser pursuant to any Other Subscription Agreement or any other agreement related to the private placement of the Shares (including such other investor's respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, employees or representatives of any of the foregoing) or (ii) any of the Company's or GHV's respective affiliates' control persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, employees or representatives, shall be liable to any Other Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any Other

15

Subscription Agreement or any other agreement related to the private placement of the Shares for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, except as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by the Company, GHV, the Placement Agents or any Non-Party Affiliate concerning the Company, GHV, the AMP Business, the Placement Agents, any of their controlled affiliates, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Agreement, "Non-Party Affiliates" means each former, current or future officer, director, employee, partner, member, manager, direct or indirect equityholder or affiliate of the Company, GHV, any Placement Agent or any of the Company's, GHV's or any Placement Agent's controlled affiliates or any family member of the foregoing.

o. The parties hereto intend for the Subscription, together with the Transaction, to qualify together as an exchange under Section 351 of the Code and will not take any inconsistent position on any tax return or during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to taxes, except as otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

p. GHV shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the date of this Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the "Disclosure Document") disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Transaction and any other material, nonpublic information that the Company or GHV has provided to Purchaser at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. From and after the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the Company's and GHV's knowledge, Purchaser shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company or GHV, and Purchaser shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with the Company, GHV, the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor GHV shall, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, publicly disclose the name of Purchaser or any of its affiliates or advisors, or include the name of Purchaser or any of its affiliates or advisors (i) in any press release or marketing materials or (ii) in any filings with the SEC or any regulatory agency or trading market except (A) required by the federal securities law in connection with the Registration Statement, and (B), to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the Staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of the NYSE or by any other governmental authority, in which case GHV and/or the Company shall provide Purchaser with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (B).

REGISTRATIONS

Section 2.1 Shelf Registration.

(a) The Company shall, as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the date hereof, file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act to permit the public resale by the Holders of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) on the terms and conditions specified in this Section 2.1(a) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days following the filing deadline (the "Effectiveness Deadline"); provided that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to ninety (90) calendar days after the filing deadline if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the Commission. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) shall be on a shelf registration statement on Form F-1 (a "Form F-1 Shelf") or such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of such Registrable Securities, covering such Registrable Securities, and shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement. A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. When effective, a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made).

5

(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to convert the Form F-1 Shelf filed pursuant to Section 2.1(a) to a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (a "Form F-3 Shelf") as promptly as practicable after the Company is eligible to use a Form F-3 Shelf and have the Form F-3 Shelf declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such Form F-3 Shelf to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

(c) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.7(a), at any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), each of the Sponsor or AGSA may request to sell all or a portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to such shelf registration statement, including a Block Trade (a "Shelf Underwritten Offering") provided that the Sponsor or AGSA, as the case may be, (i) reasonably expects to sell Registrable Securities yielding aggregate gross proceeds in excess of 50,000,000 from such Shelf Underwritten Offering or (ii) reasonably expects to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such Shelf Underwritten Offering (the amount of Registrable Securities pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the "Minimum Amount"). All requests for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the "Shelf Take Down Notice"). Each Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any Shelf Take Down Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Shelf Underwritten Offering to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the "Company Shelf Takedown Notice") and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(d) shall include in such Shelf Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein, within five (5) Business Days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice, or, in the case of a Block Trade, as provided in Section 2.5. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the Holders and reasonably acceptable to the Company and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering contemplated by this Section 2.1(c), subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations as are customary in underwritten offerings of securities by the Company. Any Shelf Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) shall be counted as a Registration for purposes of the limit on the number of Registrations that can be effected under Section 2.2.

Section 2.2 Demand Registration.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof, each of (i) the Gores Holders of at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the Gores Holders (the "Gores Demanding Holders"), and (ii) AGSA (together with the Gores Demanding Holders, the "Demanding Holders"), may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities on (1) Form F-1 or (2) if available, Form F-3, which in the case of either clause (1) or (2), may be a shelf registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand a "Demand Registration"). The Company shall,

6

promptly following the Company's receipt of a Demand Registration, notify, in writing all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in such Registration, a "Requesting Holder") shall so notify the Company, in writing, within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a Requesting Holder also separately possesses Demand Registration rights pursuant to this Section 2.2, but is not the Holder who exercises such Demand Registration rights, the exercise by such Requesting Holder of its rights pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not count as the exercise by it of one of its Demand Registration rights. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, subject to Section 2.2(d), such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2(a) or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency, the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (1) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (2) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the removal, rescission or other termination of such stop order or injunction, of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration by the same Demand Holder becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(d) and Section 2.7, if a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder (if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this Section 2.2(c), subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Company and the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration, which Underwriter(s) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

7

(d) If a Demand Registration is to be an Underwritten Offering and the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that, in its opinion, the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account and the Shares, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in such Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the "Maximum Number of Securities"), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the total amount of Registrable Securities held by each such Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) (such proportion is referred to herein as "Pro Rata")) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Shares or other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

Section 2.3 Withdrawal of Securities. A Demanding Holder or a Requesting Holder shall have the right to withdraw all or a portion of its Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or a Shelf Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1(c) for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of its intention to so withdraw at any time prior to (i) in the case of a Demand Registration not involving an Underwritten Offering, the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or (ii) in the case of any Demand Registration involving an Underwritten Offering or any Shelf Underwritten Offering, prior to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering or Shelf Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that upon withdrawal by a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration (or in the case of a Shelf Underwritten Offering, withdrawal of an amount of Registrable Securities included by the Holders in such Shelf Underwritten Offering, in their capacity as Demanding Holders, being less than the Minimum Amount), the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or complete the Underwritten Offering, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration or a Shelf Underwritten Offering prior to and including its withdrawal under this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4 Piggyback Registration.

(a) If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including pursuant to Section 2.2), other than an Exempted Registration Statement, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than twenty (20) days (or, in the case of a Block

8

Trade, five (5) Business Days) before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (i) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution (including whether such registration will be pursuant to a shelf registration statement), and the proposed price and name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, (ii) such Holders' rights under this Section 2.4 and (iii) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice (or in the case of a Block Trade, within two (2) Business Days) (such Registration a "Piggyback Registration"). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities identified in a Holder's response noticed described in the foregoing sentence to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering, if any, to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company or Company stockholder(s) for whose account the Registration Statement is to be filed included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this Section 2.4(a), subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company or Company stockholder(s) for whose account the Registration Statement is to be filed. For purposes of this Section 2.4, the filing by the Company of an automatic shelf registration statement for offerings pursuant to Rule 415(a) that omits information with respect to any specific offering pursuant to Rule 430B shall not trigger any notification or participation rights hereunder until such time as the Company amends or supplements such Registration Statement to include information with respect to a specific offering of Securities (and such amendment or supplement shall trigger the notice and participation rights provided for in this Section 2.4).

(b) If a Piggyback Registration is to be an Underwritten Offering and the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that, in its opinion, the dollar amount or number of the Shares that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (x) the Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (y) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant Section 2.4, and (z) the Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

9

(ii) if the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (1) first, the Shares or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, (2) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (1), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.4(a), Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, (3) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), the Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities and (4) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3), the Shares or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

(c) Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw such Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration prior to (i) in the case of a Piggyback Registration not involving an Unwritten Offering or Shelf Underwritten Offering, the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or (ii), in the case of any Piggyback Registration involving an Underwritten Offering or any Shelf Underwritten Offering, prior to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering or Shelf Underwritten Offering. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to and including its withdrawal under this Section 2.4(c).

(d) For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.4 shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.2 or a Shelf Underwritten Offering effected under Section 2.1(c).

As expeditiously as possible, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Block Trade. The Holders shall use reasonable best efforts to work with the Company and the Underwriters (including by disclosing the maximum number of Registrable Securities proposed to be the subject of such Block Trade) in order to facilitate preparation of the Registration Statement, Prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade and any related due diligence and comfort procedures. In the event of a Block Trade, and after consultation with the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) shall determine the Maximum Number of Securities, the underwriter or underwriters and share price of such offering.

Section 2.6 Rule 415; Removal. If at any time the Commission takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement on Form F-3 filed pursuant to this Article II is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act (provided, however, the Company shall be obligated to

10

use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the Commission Guidance, including Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09) or requires a Holder to be named as an "underwriter," the Company shall (a) promptly notify each holder of Registrable Securities thereof (or in the case of the Commission requiring a Holder to be named as an "underwriter," the Holder) and (b) use reasonable best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering "by or on behalf of the issuer" as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Holders is an "underwriter." The Holders shall have the right to select one legal counsel designated by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities subject to such Registration Statement to review and oversee any registration or matters pursuant to this Section 2.6, including participation in any meetings or discussions with the Commission regarding the Commission's position and to comment on any written submission made to the Commission with respect thereto. No such written submission with respect to this matter shall be made to the Commission to which the applicable Holders' counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company's reasonable best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2.6, the Commission refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (a) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the "Removed Shares") or (b) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the Commission may require to assure the Company's compliance with the requirements of Rule 415; provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Holder as an "underwriter" in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Holder. In the event of a share removal pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Company shall give the applicable Holders at least five (5) days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder's allotment. Subject to the Company's obligations under the Subscription Agreements, any removal of shares of the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall first be applied to Holders other than the Holders with securities registered for resale under the applicable Registration Statement and thereafter allocated between the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by the Holders. In the event of a share removal of the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Company shall promptly register the resale of any Removed Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(b). In the case of a Form F-1 Shelf filed to register the resale of Removed Shares, upon such date as the Company becomes eligible to register all of the Removed Shares for resale on a Form F-3 Shelf pursuant to the Commission Guidance and, if applicable, without a requirement that any of the Holders be named as an "underwriter" therein, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Form F-3 Shelf as promptly as practicable to replace the applicable Form F-1 Shelf and have the Form F-3 Shelf declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such Form F-3 Shelf to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities thereunder held by the applicable Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

Section 2.7 Restrictions on Registration and Block Trade Rights; Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Gores Holders be entitled, on a collective basis, to initiate more than an aggregate of three (3) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration or a Shelf Underwritten Offering (including a Block Trade) under Section 2.1(c) (including with respect to a Block Trade) or Section 2.2(a), as the case may be; provided, however, that a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration Statement that may be available at such time has become effective.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, or in the opinion of counsel for the Company it is necessary to supplement or amend such Prospectus to

11

comply with law, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement or including the information counsel for the Company believes to be necessary to comply with law (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice such that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, as applicable, will not include a Misstatement and complies with law), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 2.7(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to (i) effect any Demand Registration or Underwritten Offering or (ii) file a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or effect an Underwritten Offering (or, if the Company has filed a Registration Statement that includes Registrable Securities, the Company shall be entitled to suspend the offer and sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement) for a period of up to forty-five (45) days if the Company has determined that the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant a Registration Statement would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company's control (any such period, a "Blackout Period"); provided, however, that in no event shall any Blackout Period together with other Blackout Periods exceed an aggregate of ninety (90) days in any twelve (12)-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 2.7(c), the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of any Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 2.7(c). The Holders receiving notice of a Blackout Period (and the expiration thereof) shall maintain the confidentiality of the existence (and circumstances, to the extent known) of a Blackout Period. In connection with any notice of a Blackout Period, the Company may not deliver any material non-public information, and, for avoidance of doubt, solely the receipt of notice of a Blackout Period without additional information shall not constitute material non-public information.

12

(c) prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders' legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;

(d) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, but in any case no later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended method of distribution) may reasonably request and to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains in effect and (ii) take such action as may be necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company or otherwise and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

(e) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are then listed no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

(h) advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or Prospectus the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus or prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued, as applicable;

(i) advise each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any Prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed;

13

(j) notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event or the existence of any condition as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, or in the opinion of counsel for the Company it is necessary to supplement or amend such Prospectus to comply with law, and then to correct such Misstatement or include such information as is necessary to comply with law, in each case as set forth in Section 2.7, at the request of any such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such Prospectus shall not include a Misstatement or such Prospectus, as supplemented or amended, shall comply with law;

(k) make available for inspection, at such place and in such manner as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter access to the Company's books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business, finances and accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with its officers, directors and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders' and such Underwriters' respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, and will cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that (i) if requested by the Company, such representatives, Holders or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information and (ii) any records, information or documents that are furnished by the Company and that are non-public shall be used only in connection with the Registration;

(l) obtain a "comfort" letter from the Company's independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by "comfort" letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders and any Underwriter;

(m) on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion and negative assurance letter, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters;

(n) in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;

(o) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and to make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) months which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission); and

(p) use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary "road show" presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering.

14

Section 3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters' commissions and discounts, brokerage fees and, other than as set forth in the definition of "Registration Expenses," all fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders. In addition, the Company will pay its internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance obtained by the Company and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange.

Section 3.3 Participation in Underwritten Offerings.

(a) No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

(b) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no Underwriter shall require any Holder to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the Underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder and such Holder's intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law, and if, despite the Company's reasonable best efforts, an Underwriter requires any Holder to make additional representation or warranties to or agreements with such Underwriter, such Holder may elect not to participate in such Underwritten Offering (but shall not have any claims against the Company as a result of such election). Any liability of such Holder to any Underwriter or other person under such underwriting agreement shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds (net of expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions) that it derives from such registration.

Section 3.4 Covenants of the Company. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company hereby covenants and agrees:

(a) the Company will not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein with the Commission which refers to any Holder of Registrable Securities by name or otherwise without the prior written approval of such Holder, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;

(b) at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Shares held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements; and

(c) promptly following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by Section 2.1(a), the Company shall cause the transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends (including any electronic transfer restrictions) from Shares or GHV Warrants held by such Holder

15

and provide or cause any customary opinions of counsel to be delivered to the transfer agent in connection with such removal.

ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

Section 4.1 Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, partners, stockholders or members, employees, agents, investment advisors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys' fees), joint or several (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) (collectively, "Claims"), to which any such Holder or other persons may become subject, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such Holder or other person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; except insofar as the Claim or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such filing in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement, the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from such Holder, to indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) from and against any Claims, to which any the Company or such other persons may become subject, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based on any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no Underwriter shall require any Holder of Registrable Securities to provide any indemnification other than that provided hereinabove in this Section 4.1(b), and, if, despite the Company's reasonable best efforts, an Underwriter requires any Holder of Registrable Securities to provide additional indemnification, such Holder may elect not to participate in such Underwritten Offering (but shall not have any claim against the Company as a result of such election).

16

(c) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any Claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such Claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) and which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault or culpability on the part of such indemnified party or does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, partners, stockholders or members, employees, agents, investment advisors or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of Registrable Securities.

(e) If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Claims, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (ii) above but also to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder or any director, officer, employee, agent, investment advisor or controlling person thereof under this Section 4.1(e) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.1(a), Section 4.1(b) and Section 4.1(c) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.1(e). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1(e) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(k) Transfers by AGSA or its Affiliates in one transaction or a series of related transactions under which Shares held by AGSA or its Permitted Transferees are exchanged with its securityholders for securities issued by AGSA, provided that AGSA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the Sponsor prior to taking such action or entering into any definitive agreement with respect to such action; provided, that in the case of any Transfer or distribution pursuant to Section 5.2(b) through Section 5.2(h), each donee, distributee or other transferee shall agree in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as the transferring Holder.

Section 6.4 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (except to the extent mandatorily governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg), without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 6.5 Jurisdiction. In any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein: (a) each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case the United States District Court for the District of Delaware); (b) each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives and agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court; and (c) each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring any such action in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case the United States District Court for the District of Delaware).

Section 6.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable

20

manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 6.8 Modification or Amendment. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of Shares or other Registrable Securities, in a manner that is adverse and different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected, (b) any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects the Gores Holders solely in their capacity as Gores Holders in a manner that is adverse and different from the other Holders, shall require the consent of a majority-in-interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the Gores Holders. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

Section 6.9 Other Registration Rights. Other than pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, the Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions among the parties thereto and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

SERVICES

SECTION 2.1 Description of Services.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, commencing on the date hereof (i) AGSA shall provide, or cause to be provided by one or more of the other AGSA Entities, the services set forth in Exhibit A hereto to the AMP Entities, in each case, in support of the AMP Business (the "AGSA Services"), and (ii) AMPSA shall provide, or cause to be provided by one or more of the other AMP Entities, the services set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the "AMPSA Services" and together with the AGSA Services, the "Corporate Services") to the AGSA Entities in support of their respective businesses (which for the avoidance of doubt shall exclude the AMP Business) (the "AGSA Retained Business", and each of the AGSA Retained Business and the AMP Business, a "Business"). In addition, prior to the date hereof, certain operating companies of AGSA's Group provided certain services and recharges to operating companies of AMPSA's Group, and vice versa, in each case, as reflected in AGSA's reported results for the "Metal Beverage Packaging" segment and its 2020 to 2024 long range plan for such segment, (such services and recharges, collectively, the "Business Unit Services" and together with the Corporate Services, and any ancillary services that are reasonably necessary in connection with the Business Unit Services or the Corporate Services or inherent to the successful delivery of such services the "Services"). On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, commencing on the date hereof, such Business Unit Services shall continue to be provided by the applicable AMP Entities or AGSA Entities, in each case in a manner and on terms consistent with past practices. The Services may only be modified pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) a Party (in its capacity as a provider of Services, the "Providing Party") may satisfy its obligations hereunder to provide Services to the other Party (such other Party or its Affiliates, the "Receiving Party") by causing one or more of its Affiliates to provide or procure such Services (in which case, such Affiliates shall be included in the definition of "Providing

4

Party" for all purposes hereof in respect of such Services), which Affiliates such Providing Party may change in its discretion from time to time and without prior notice to the Receiving Party (provided that such change does not cause any material disruption to the delivery of Services), and (ii) a Providing Party or its Affiliates may be providing similar services, or services that involve the same resources as those used to provide the Services, to its internal organizations, other Affiliates or third parties. The Providing Party reserves the right to modify any or all of the Services to the extent reasonably necessary so that the provision or use of any of the Services hereunder would not violate any Law applicable to the Services, the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates and Representatives, including any applicable antitrust and competition Law; provided that the Providing Party shall provide the Receiving Party with prior written notice of any such modification and the Parties shall work together in good faith to provide for a replacement to such Services.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the Providing Parties to provide any Service relating to real property and facilities under this Agreement shall be subject to, in all cases, the terms and conditions of any relevant underlying lease, sublease or agreement or instrument with a party other than an Affiliate of the Providing Party (each, an "Underlying Document"); provided that, to the extent the Underlying Document prohibits provision of the applicable Service, the applicable Providing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend or modify the Underlying Document, or obtain a waiver or consent from the applicable third party, in each case, such that the applicable Service is no longer prohibited, and the Receiving Party shall reasonably cooperate in connection therewith. Without limitation to the foregoing, any Service of the type described in the preceding sentence shall immediately terminate without any further action on the part of the Parties in the event that the Underlying Document terminates in accordance with its terms and is not replaced by a similar arrangement; provided that the Providing Party shall provide the Receiving Party with prior notice of any such termination as promptly as practicable and the Providing Party and the Receiving Party shall work together in good faith to provide for a replacement to such terminated Service, or shall otherwise discuss and agree in good faith on an appropriate adjustment to the Fees for such terminated Service. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Underlying Document, the terms and conditions of the Underlying Document shall control.

(d) To the extent not set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B or included in the Business Unit Services, and as reasonably required to perform the Services, the Providing Party may request and, subject to the prior written consent of the Receiving Party (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), the Receiving Party shall provide, subject to compliance with applicable Law (including any applicable antitrust and competition Law) and the Receiving Party's standard rules and procedures for access to its real property or facilities, designated members of the Providing Party or its Affiliates with access to the Receiving Party's premises and such equipment, telecommunications systems, computer systems, records and personnel designated by the Receiving Party as involved in receiving or overseeing the Services; provided that such access shall be subject to the Receiving Party's overall supervision and control; provided, further, that if the failure to receive such access renders the Providing Party unable to perform any Services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Providing Party shall be relieved of its obligations with respect to such Services until access is provided.

SECTION 2.2 Shared Space.

(a) The premises leased by an AGSA Entity or an AMP Entity, as lessee, as applicable (the "Shared Leased Premises"), pursuant to the leases set forth on Exhibit C (each, a "Shared Space Lease" and collectively, the "Shared Space Leases") are used in both of the Businesses.

(b) For the term of this Agreement or such other period as set forth on Exhibit C (each, a "Shared Space Term"), each AMP Entity, on the one hand, or AGSA Entity, on the other hand, shall have the right to use and occupy that portion of the Shared Leased Premises and to use that portion of

5

the common areas related to the Shared Leased Premises, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Shared Space Leases. For the purposes of this Section 2.2, an AGSA Entity or AMP Entity, as applicable, being the tenant under the applicable Shared Space Lease immediately following the Closing, is the Providing Party, and an AMP Entity or an AGSA Entity, as applicable, using the Shared Leased Premises pursuant to the terms hereof, is the Receiving Party. During the applicable Shared Space Term (and included in the Fees payable pursuant to Section 3.2) with respect to each Shared Leased Premises (including all common areas related thereto), all costs relating to such Shared Leased Premises, including rent, maintenance, water, sewer, telephone, electricity and gas service, common area charges, amounts of public liability, damage, fire and extended coverage insurance as may be required under the Shared Space Lease, and any real estate property taxes owed by the Providing Party shall be borne by the Providing Party on the one hand, and the Receiving Party, on the other hand, based on the portion of such Shared Leased Premises used or occupied by the Providing Party or the Receiving Party.

(c) The Receiving Party shall vacate its portion of the Shared Leased Premises on or prior to the expiration of the Shared Space Term applicable to the Shared Leased Premises; provided, that the Providing Party shall provide reasonable advance notice thereof to the Receiving Party. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for all moving and similar costs associated with vacating such Shared Leased Premises and will leave its portion of such Shared Leased Premises in broom clean condition; provided that the Receiving Party shall not be responsible for returning its portion of the Shared Leased Premises to any pre-existing condition, unless such obligation is imposed upon the Providing Party pursuant to the applicable Shared Space Lease and known to the Receiving Party.

SECTION 2.3 Third Party Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that certain of the Services to be provided under this Agreement have been, and will continue to be, provided (in accordance with this Agreement) by a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Providing Party (a "Third Party"). To the extent so provided prior to the date hereof, the Providing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause such Third Party to provide such Services under this Agreement or (b) enable the Receiving Party to avail itself of such Services directly; provided that, without limiting Section 2.4, if any such Third Party is unable or unwilling or not contractually obligated to provide any such Services to the Receiving Party, the Providing Party shall consult with the Receiving Party to determine an alternative manner in which such Services can be provided to the Receiving Party, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such alternative arrangement is procured without interruption in or delay to the Services provided to the Receiving Party. Except as may be consented to by the Providing Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or as shall be reasonably necessary to effectively provide the Services, the Providing Party will have the sole right to instruct, direct, control and supervise all Third Parties in connection with their provision of the Services.

SECTION 2.4 Consents.

(a) The Providing Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all notices and obtain all waivers, consents, authorizations and approvals necessary to allow the Providing Party (directly or by way of a Third Party) to provide the Services, and to allow the Receiving Party to access and use the Services, in a manner that is consistent with the way such services were provided in the ordinary course of business prior to the date hereof or as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, including on Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable (the "Required Consents"), and the Receiving Party shall reasonably cooperate in connection therewith.

(b) In the event that any Required Consent is not obtained, then, unless and until such Required Consent is obtained or a reasonable alternative arrangement is implemented (including any Required Consents for the provision of pass-through supply arrangements or licenses by Third Parties), the Parties shall discuss in good faith a reasonable alternative arrangement and use commercially

6

reasonable efforts to achieve such reasonable alternative arrangement, in each case, for the Receiving Party to continue to operate its business in a manner that does not materially and negatively affect such business and for the Providing Party (directly or by way of a Third Party) to perform or provide Services in a manner that does not materially decrease the standard of services or materially increase the costs to the Providing Party in providing such Services. Any fees or expenses incurred in connection with any Required Consents shall be paid by the Receiving Party; provided that the Providing Party shall not agree to the payment of any such fees or expenses without the prior written consent of the Receiving Party. If any Required Consent or alternative arrangement is not available despite the commercially reasonable efforts of the Parties or as a result of the Receiving Party failing to consent to the incurrence of the fees and expenses relating to obtaining any Required Consent, the Providing Party shall not be required to provide the applicable Services and the Parties will in good faith discuss and agree on an appropriate adjustment to the Fees to reflect that such Service will not be provided.

SECTION 2.5 Standard of Services. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Parties agree in writing to a different arrangement, the Providing Party shall at all times perform the Services (a) in a manner that is consistent, in all material respects, in nature, scope, quality and timeliness with how the applicable Services were provided to the applicable Business during the twelve (12)-month period prior to the date hereof and (b) with the use of reasonable care and good industry practice. Upon written notice to the Receiving Party, the Providing Party may modify, change or enhance the manner, methodology, systems or applications used to provide any Service to the Receiving Party (but not the quality of such Service or the standard of care used to provide such Service) to the extent that the Providing Party is making a similar change in the performance of such services for its businesses or its Affiliates; provided that such change does not have a material adverse effect on the standard of service set forth in this Section 2.5.

SECTION 2.6 Provision of Services.

(a) All labor matters relating to employees of the Providing Party (including employees involved in the provision of the Services to the Receiving Party) shall be within the exclusive control of the Providing Party, and the Receiving Party shall not take any action affecting such matters. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to transfer the employment of employees engaged in the provision of any Service from one Party to the other. The Providing Party shall have the sole responsibility to employ, pay, supervise, manage, control, direct and discharge all of the personnel used in its provision of Services hereunder. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Agreement, the Providing Party may terminate the employment of any employee involved in the provision of the Services without obtaining the consent of the Receiving Party. The Providing Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all employee wages, benefits and any other direct and indirect compensation for any of its personnel assigned to perform Services under this Agreement, as well as worker's compensation insurance, employment taxes and other employer liabilities relating to such personnel as required by Law.

(b) The Providing Party may hire or engage one or more subcontractors to perform all or any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that (i) the Providing Party shall use the same degree of care in selecting any subcontractors as it would if such subcontractor was being retained to provide similar services to the Providing Party and (ii) the Providing Party shall in all cases remain responsible for ensuring that obligations with respect to the standards of services set forth in this Agreement are satisfied with respect to any Service provided by a subcontractor hired or engaged by the Providing Party.

(c) Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Agreement, the management and supervision of, and control over, the provision of the Services by the Providing Party shall reside solely with the Providing Party.

7

(d) Each of the Parties acknowledges that they are separate entities, each of which has entered into this Agreement for independent business reasons. The Providing Party shall be an independent contractor in connection with the performance of Services hereunder for any and all purposes (including federal, state or local tax purposes), and the employees performing Services in connection herewith shall not be deemed to be employees or agents of the Receiving Party and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a "partnership", "single employer", "joint employer", "alter ego" or "co-employer" relationship or a principal-agent relationship.

(e) Each of the Providing Party and the Receiving Party shall, during the term of this Agreement, comply with all applicable Laws, including any competition and investment Laws and, to the extent applicable, any Laws related to the privacy or security of Personal Information, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (as amended and replaced from time to time) and the California Consumer Privacy Act. If either Party will receive, store, or otherwise process any Personal Information on behalf of the other Party in connection with any of the Services, the Parties agree to enter into a data processing addendum to this Agreement prior to Closing, which shall set forth the terms applicable to such receipt, storage, or other processing, including any terms required by applicable Law and, to the extent applicable, any terms necessary to provide appropriate safeguards for the international transfer of Personal Information.

SECTION 2.7 Cooperation. The Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates and each of the foregoing entities' respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents or advisors (collectively, "Representatives") to, cooperate with each other in good faith (a) in the performance of the Services and the Parties' respective obligations under this Agreement to provide required services specified herein and (b) to maintain business continuity. Where necessary for the Providing Party to provide the Services, the Receiving Party shall (i) provide information and documentation reasonably sufficient for the Providing Party to perform, or cause to be performed, the Services and (ii) make available, as reasonably requested by the Providing Party, sufficient resources, timely decisions, approvals and acceptances so that the Providing Party may accomplish its obligations hereunder in a timely manner.

SECTION 2.8 Services Managers. Each of the Parties shall appoint and designate to act as its services manager hereunder (each such person in respect of a Party, a "Services Manager"). Each Services Manager (a) will be directly responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery or receipt of the applicable Services and (b) shall be the principal point of contact for the Parties for all matters relating to the applicable Services. Each month during the term of this Agreement (or such other period as agreed between the Parties), the Services Managers for both Parties will meet to coordinate and manage the delivery or receipt of, and review any changes or other issues relating to, the Services. Any Party may replace its Services Manager at any time and for any reason and, upon any such replacement, the applicable Party shall provide written notice to the other Party of such replacement.

SECTION 2.9 Service Interruption. Upon reasonable prior notice to the Receiving Party, the Providing Party or any relevant Third Party that is providing Services pursuant to the terms hereof will have the right to temporarily interrupt or suspend (a) the provision of Services for emergency maintenance purposes (including to IT Systems) or (b) the operation of the facilities or IT Systems of the Providing Party or Third Party providing any Services if it is the commercially reasonable judgment of the Providing Party or Third Party that such action is necessary for maintenance or safety purposes. Whenever emergency maintenance is required, the Providing Party shall notify the Receiving Party as far in advance as reasonably practicable under the circumstances that maintenance is required. Any routine maintenance or preventative services shall take place at such time and in the manner determined by the Providing Party, consistent in all respects with its historical practices for such routine maintenance or preventative services. In performing any maintenance contemplated by this Section 2.9, the Providing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of such maintenance on the Services and the Receiving Party's business. The Providing Party will be relieved of

8

its obligations to provide Services only for the period of time that the relevant facilities or systems are shut down during maintenance but shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize each period of shutdown for such purpose. Immediately following any such shutdown, the Providing Party shall promptly resume providing, or causing to be provided, the Services to the Receiving Party.

SECTION 2.10 Force Majeure. Neither the Providing Party nor any Third Party providing any Services shall be liable for any interruption, delay or failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement, including any interruption, delay or failure of any Service or the quality or quantity thereof if such interruption, delay or failure results from causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, acts of any public enemy, floods, riots, fires, epidemics, pandemics, sabotage, civil commotion or civil unrest, interference by Governmental Authorities, declaration, continuation, escalation or acts of war or terrorism, strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute, failure or shortage of energy sources, raw materials or components or other similar events outside the control of the Providing Party or applicable Third Party ("Force Majeure Event"). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the Providing Party shall (or in the case of a Force Majeure Event affecting any Third Party providing Services, shall request such Third Party to) reasonably promptly notify the Receiving Party of the Force Majeure Event and the estimated extent and duration of its inability to perform its obligations. The Providing Party (or such Third Party) shall reasonably promptly notify the Receiving Party upon the cessation of any Force Majeure Event and shall resume the performance of the applicable Services as soon as reasonably practicable. The Providing Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of the Force Majeure Event on its obligations hereunder; provided that nothing in this Section 2.10 shall be construed to require the settlement of any strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of the Providing Party, are contrary to its interests. If the Providing Party or any relevant Third Party is unable to provide any of the Services due to a Force Majeure Event, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperatively seek a solution that is mutually satisfactory. During the period of any such Force Majeure Event, the Receiving Party shall be free to acquire such Services from an alternate source, at the Receiving Party's sole cost and expense, for such period and during the continuation of any agreement entered into with such alternate source. For the avoidance of doubt, the Receiving Party shall not be obligated to pay the Providing Party for those Services during the period when the Providing Party is not itself providing, or providing through a Third Party, such Services (and the Parties shall engage in good faith discussions to determine the applicable portion of the Fee applicable to such Services, if such Services are Corporate Services).

SECTION 2.11 Obligations. The provision of Services hereunder is subject to the following:

(a) No Party or any of its Affiliates shall be liable for any action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken by it or a relevant Third Party pursuant to, and in accordance with, written instructions received from the other Party.

Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, in connection with the receipt or provision of Services by such Party or its Affiliates, no computer virus or other malicious code is introduced to the IT Systems of the other Party or its Affiliates.

ARTICLE III
FEES AND PAYMENT

SECTION 3.1 Fees for Corporate Services.

(a) From the date hereof until December 31, 2024 (such time period, the "Initial Term" and such date, the "Assessment Date"), subject to adjustment as set forth in this Agreement, (i) AMPSA shall receive from AGSA as consideration for the AMPSA Services, the AGSA Services, and (ii) AGSA shall receive from AMPSA as consideration for the AGSA Services, (A) the AMPSA Services and (B) for each calendar year from 2021 through 2024, the fees set forth in Exhibit A.

(b) Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, effective as of the Assessment Date and for the remainder of the term of this Agreement, the Fees for Corporate Services shall be computed based on the fully allocated cost of each such Service with the intention that the Providing Party incurs no gain or loss in providing such Service. At least sixty (60) days prior to the Assessment Date and thereafter at least sixty (60) days prior to each annual anniversary of the Assessment Date (each such date, a "Reset Date"), the Parties shall in good faith negotiate and agree on (i) adjustments to the then-applicable fees for such Services that would take effect starting on the next applicable Reset Date, which shall take into account the then-current costs of providing such Services and the level of Services expected to be provided hereunder until the next Reset Date, and (ii) with respect to the Ardagh Name License, the appropriate consideration for the Ardagh Name License.

(c) Certain Corporate Services are noted on Exhibit A and Exhibit B to be based on fixed volumes. If in any month (including during the Initial Term) the volume relating to such Corporate Service varies by over twenty percent (20%) relative to the prior calendar quarter, the Parties will in good faith discuss and agree on an appropriate adjustment to the Fees for such Corporate Service.

(d) The Fees for each Corporate Service (including during the Initial Term) shall adjust in the case of any pass-through Corporate Services provided by a Third Party, (i) upward at such time that any incremental costs are incurred by the Providing Party resulting from the underlying change in pricing by the Third Party, and (ii) downward at such time that the Third Party decreases the pricing charged to the Providing Party in connection with the provision of such Services.

11

SECTION 3.2 Fees for Business Unit Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that fees payable by AMPSA to AGSA and by AGSA to AMPSA for their respective Business Unit Services (collectively with the fees set forth in Section 3.1, the "Fees") shall be computed based on the fully allocated cost of each such Service with the Providing Party incurring no gain or loss in providing such Service.

SECTION 3.3 Employee Transfers. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, during the Initial Term, the employment of employees of either Group engaged in providing Services hereunder may be transferred to members of the other Group, which may result in a decrease in the level of Services required to be provided to the transferee of such employment. The Parties intend that any such transfers involving employees providing Corporate Services would occur on a "cost neutral" basis, and will discuss in good faith and agree on any appropriate resulting adjustments to the level or nature of the Corporate Services provided by the transferring Party hereunder and the Fees payable by the transferee under Section 3.1(a) in respect thereof.

SECTION 3.4 Invoice and Payment. A Providing Party shall deliver to the Receiving Party a monthly invoice for Fees hereunder, as such Fees may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or pursuant to any amendment to this Agreement); provided that during the Initial Term, a Providing Party shall have no obligation to deliver any invoices for the Fees for any Corporate Services in any month except for such months in which such Fees have been adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.4(b) , Section 2.10, Section 3.1(c) or Section 3.1(d) (and Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, has not been updated to reflect such adjustment). Subject to the preceding sentence, each Providing Party shall invoice the Receiving Party on a monthly basis for (a) the Fees for the upcoming month for any Service identified by the Providing Party in writing as a "Fixed Price Service," and (b) the Fees for the prior month for any Service identified by the Providing Party in writing as a "Variable Price Service." The actual invoice date will be determined according to the Providing Party's regular business practices and systems capabilities. Subject to Section 3.6, the invoiced Fees of each Party shall, if practicable, be netted against one another and the Party owing the greater amount shall pay the other Party in arrears in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts designated by the other Party, the net of the invoiced Fees, netting such Fees owed to the other Party against the Fees invoiced by the Party owing the greater amount, within thirty (30) days of the date both invoices with respect to the applicable month have been provided (the "Payment Date"). With respect to the Initial Term, the "Payment Date" with respect to Corporate Services, unless adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.4(b), Section 2.10, Section 3.1(c) or Section 3.1(d), shall be the last Business Day of each applicable month in which a payment is due.

SECTION 3.5 Failure to Make Payment. If payment in full in respect of any invoice is not received by the Providing Party from the Receiving Party by the Payment Date (except for any amount in good faith disputed as provided in Section 3.6), the Providing Party shall have the right, after giving forty-five (45) days' prior written notice thereof to the Receiving Party, to suspend all or any portion of the Services until such time as the Receiving Party has paid in full all amounts then overdue. After such payment in full is received, the Providing Party shall promptly resume providing, or causing to be provided, the Services to the Receiving Party until the termination of such Services or this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, subject to (a) any further suspension in accordance with this Section 3.5 or (b) earlier termination thereof in accordance with Section 8.1.

SECTION 3.6 Disputes and Resolution. The Receiving Party shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the applicable invoice or any audit performed in accordance with Section 3.7, or within thirty (30) days of the applicable month during the Initial Term if the Receiving Party determines that any Fees should have been adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.4(b), Section 2.10, Section 3.1(c) or Section 3.1(d)) notify the Providing Party in writing of any amounts billed to it (or required to be paid by it) that are in dispute and reasonably detail the basis therefor. Upon receipt of such notice, the Providing Party will research the items in question in a

12

reasonably prompt manner and cooperate with the Receiving Party to resolve any such dispute. The amount of Fees payable by the Receiving Party shall be reduced by the amount of any Fees disputed in accordance with this Section 3.6, which disputed Fees shall be paid to the Providing Party within fifteen (15) days (or by the applicable Payment Date, if such Payment Date has not yet passed) after settlement of such dispute to the extent owed to the Providing Party; provided that any undisputed portion of such amount shall be included in the calculation of the amount due and paid in accordance with Section 3.4. If any such Fees have already been paid by the Receiving Party to the Providing Party, the Providing Party shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) days) refund to the Receiving Party the amount of such overpayment or, at the option of the Receiving Party, netted against future payments owed by the Receiving Party to the Providing Party pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 3.7 Audit Rights. During the term of this Agreement and for a six (6) month period thereafter or such longer period as required by an applicable Contract or under any applicable Law (including any competition Law, investment Law or Law relating to data privacy and protection), and upon thirty (30) days' advance written notice, either Party may audit (including through an independent third-party auditor), during regular business hours, the books and records of the other Party pertaining to the Service in question. For any given Service, either Party shall have the right to audit such books and records of the Providing Party once for each twelve (12) month period during which payment obligations are due with respect to such Service. The Party requesting an audit pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be responsible for all costs of conducting such audit, and shall reimburse the other Party for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such audit; provided, that if the audit of any Business Unit Services during the Initial Term or any Services following the Assessment Date reveals an overpayment by the Party requesting the audit in excess of ten percent (10%) of the applicable Fees being audited, the other Party shall reimburse such initial Party for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such audit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Initial Term, the audit rights set forth in this Section 3.7 shall not apply to any Fees for Corporate Services except to the extent such Fees have been adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.4(b), Section 2.10, Section 3.1(c) or Section 3.1(d).

SECTION 3.8 Records. Each Providing Party shall maintain records of all receipts, invoices, license usage reports and other documents relating to the Services rendered under this Agreement, including the means of calculating the Fees billed to the Receiving Party hereunder, in accordance with its standard, commercially reasonable, accounting practices and procedures. Each Providing Party shall retain such accounting records and make them reasonably available to the Receiving Party and its auditors for a period of three (3) years from the close of each fiscal year of such Receiving Party during which Services were provided. Each Providing Party will cooperate with the applicable Receiving Party and its auditors, as reasonably requested by such Receiving Party, in connection with any such audit.

SECTION 3.9 Taxes.

(a) The Receiving Party agrees to pay to the Providing Party, or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, directly to the relevant Governmental Authority, amounts equal to any sales, use, value-added or other similar Taxes, however designated or levied, that are reasonably invoiced by the Providing Party based upon any (i) Fees due under this Agreement, (ii) the provision of the Services or (iii) the provision or use of materials provided under this Agreement, as provided to the Receiving Party by the Providing Party (such Taxes, "Covered Taxes"). The Providing Party shall provide to the Receiving Party, on a timely basis, all statements, receipts and other customary documentation in connection therewith reflecting such Covered Taxes, required to be delivered to the Receiving Party under applicable Law. In addition, the Providing Party shall provide such other information reasonably requested by the Receiving Party that is necessary for the Receiving Party to report such Covered Taxes on its Tax returns (including for purposes of claiming Tax deductions or Tax refunds). To the extent any

13

such Covered Taxes are paid to the Providing Party, the Providing Party shall timely pay such Covered Taxes to the proper Governmental Authority and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Receiving Party, at the Receiving Party's sole cost and expense, in its efforts to obtain a credit for such Covered Taxes upon the reasonable request of the Receiving Party. If additional Covered Taxes are determined to be due and payable as a result of an audit by a Tax jurisdiction, the Receiving Party agrees to reimburse the Providing Party for such Covered Taxes to the extent that the Covered Taxes for which the Providing Party seeks reimbursement are linked to specifically identified Services invoices that are subject to the imposition by such Tax jurisdiction of Covered Taxes. In the event the Providing Party receives any credit, reduction or refund of Covered Taxes (a "Tax Benefit"), the Providing Party shall promptly pay or credit the Receiving Party with an amount equal to such Tax Benefit to the extent the Receiving Party has previously paid to the Providing Party, or to the relevant Governmental Authority, any such Taxes that are linked to specifically identified Services invoices that are the subject of such Tax Benefit. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith in obtaining any lawful exemption, refund, return, rebate or the like of any Covered Taxes, including filing any necessary exemption or other similar forms, certificates or other similar documents to minimize or eliminate Covered Taxes to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Parties further agree that, for the avoidance of doubt, Covered Taxes shall not include any franchise Taxes, Taxes imposed on or measured by the gross or net income of the other Party or personal or real property Taxes on property owned or leased by a Party.

(b) If any withholding or deduction from any payment under this Agreement by the Receiving Party in relation to any Service is required in respect of any Covered Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, the Receiving Party shall (i) make any such required withholding or deduction from the amount payable to the Providing Party, (ii) timely pay the withheld or deducted amount to the relevant Governmental Authority and promptly forward to the Providing Party a withholding tax certificate or receipt evidencing that payment, and (iii) increase the amount payable such that the Providing Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Covered Taxes (taking into account, for the avoidance of doubt, any additional taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.9(b)) been imposed, and the Receiving Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Providing Party with respect thereto.

Any such sublicense shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The Providing Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Receiving Party, its Affiliates, their respective successors and permitted assigns and the Representatives of each of the foregoing (collectively, the "Receiver Indemnitees") from and against any and all direct costs incurred by the Receiver Indemnitees due to (a) the Providing Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) Third Party Claims arising out of, resulting from or incident to, directly or indirectly, the material breach by the Providing Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Providing Party, (c) the Providing Party's failure to pay wages and benefits to personnel assigned to perform Services under this Agreement or (d) any infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property of any Third Party by the Providing Party as a result of the Providing Party's provision of (or causing to provide) any Services (including any Deliverables, but excluding the Ardagh Name License and the Transitional License (which are addressed in Section 7.3)) to the Receiver Indemnitees hereunder or of any information or materials provided or made available to or accessible by the Providing Party to the Receiver Indemnitees hereunder, except to the extent such infringement, misappropriation or other violation results from the use of any information or materials provided, or instructions or directions given, by or on behalf of the Receiving Party.

AMPSA shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the AGSA Entities, their respective successors and the Representatives of each of the foregoing (collectively, the "AGSA Indemnitees") from and against any and all direct costs incurred by the AGSA Indemnitees due to any claim or action resulting from the use of the Ardagh Name or Ardagh Logo by or on behalf of any AMP Entity, including such use on or in connection with the products or services supplied by any AMP Entity (including product liability

18

claims with respect to such products), excluding any claim or action to the extent alleging that the Ardagh Name or Ardagh Logo infringes, misappropriates, dilutes or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property of any Third Party. Nothing in this paragraph regarding indemnification rights and obligations shall be deemed to override any obligations with respect to mitigation of losses existing under applicable Law.

SECTION 7.4 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) Any Person seeking any indemnification under this Article VII (an "Indemnified Party"), acting through AGSA or AMPSA, as applicable, shall give the Party from which indemnification is being sought (an "Indemnifying Party") prompt notice (a "Claim Notice") of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article VII; provided, however, that if an Indemnified Party shall receive written notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice. The Claim Notice shall (i) indicate whether the matter for which indemnification is sought (an "Indemnity Claim") results from or arises out of a Third Party claim (a "Third Party Claim") or a direct claim, (ii) describe with reasonable specificity the nature of the Indemnity Claim and (iii) state the amount of direct costs sought pursuant to such Indemnity Claim to the extent then known. The failure to deliver or timely deliver the Claim Notice shall not affect the rights of the Indemnified Party to indemnification under this Article VII, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such failure.

(b) Third Party Claims.

(i) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the defense of a Third Party Claim, upon delivery of written notice to the Indemnified Party (the "Defense Notice") within twenty (20) days after the Indemnifying Party's receipt of the Claim Notice (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires); provided that the Defense Notice shall specify the counsel the Indemnifying Party will appoint to defend such Third Party Claim (such counsel to be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party). The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of any such Third Party Claim in accordance herewith. If the Indemnifying Party timely delivers a Defense Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, (A) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party apprised of all material developments with respect to such Third Party Claim and (B) the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, all at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control the defense of any Third Party Claim if (A) such Third Party Claim is with respect to a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (B) it fails to actively and diligently conduct its defense of such Third Party Claim, (C) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim or (D) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event of any of the foregoing circumstances and the Indemnified Party has nonetheless permitted the Indemnifying Party to control the defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party desires to so control such defense, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay

19

the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one counsel (in addition to any required local counsel) of the Indemnified Party.

(iii) The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, (A) settle or compromise a Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any order which does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim, (B) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim if the settlement imposes equitable or other non-monetary remedies or other obligations on the Indemnified Party or (C) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim if the result is to admit civil or criminal liability or culpability on the part of the Indemnified Party that gives rise to criminal liability with respect to the Indemnified Party. No Third Party Claim which is being defended by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be settled or compromised by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

ARTICLE VIII
TERM AND TERMINATION

SECTION 8.1 Term; Termination of Services.

(a) As provided in Section 3.1(a), the Initial Term of this Agreement shall terminate on the Assessment Date. Thereafter, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.1, this Agreement shall automatically renew for additional one (1) year terms from such date unless (i) the Parties otherwise mutually agree in writing or (ii) a Party delivers a Termination Notice in accordance with Section 8.1(d), Section 8.1(e) or Section 8.1(f). Subject to Section 8.3, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date all Services have been terminated in accordance with this Section 8.1.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if there is a Change of Control of AMPSA during the Initial Term, (i) AGSA may terminate all or any portion of this Agreement by providing not less than nine (9) months prior written notice to AMPSA and (ii) the date on which such Change of Control of AMPSA is consummated shall automatically be deemed to be the Assessment Date for purposes of Article III. As used herein, "Change of Control of AMPSA" means any of the following events: (A) the consummation of any transaction, or series of related transactions (including a merger or consolidation), the result of which is that any Person or group of related Persons or Persons acting in concert with each other, other than one or more AGSA Entities, is, or as a result of such transaction becomes, the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50)% of the voting stock of AMPSA; (B) the sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of (including capital stock owned by) the AMP Entities, on a consolidated basis, to any Person or group of related Persons or Persons acting in concert with each other, other than the AGSA Entities; or (C) AMPSA is liquidated or dissolved or adopts a plan of liquidation or dissolution (other than in connection with any internal restructuring that does not change the ultimate beneficial ownership of AMPSA) or files any voluntary or involuntary petition under any bankruptcy Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, AGSA shall not have the right to terminate the Ardagh Name License pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) until the date that is the fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if there is a Change of Control of AGSA during the Initial Term, (i) AMPSA may terminate all or any portion of this Agreement by providing not less than nine (9) months prior written notice to AGSA and (ii) the date on which such Change of Control of AGSA is consummated shall automatically be deemed to be the Assessment Date for purposes of Article III. As used herein, "Change of Control of AGSA" means any of the following events: (A) the consummation of any transaction, or series of related transactions (including a merger or consolidation), the result of which is that any Person or group of related Persons or Persons acting

20

in concert with each other, other than one or more Permitted Holders, is, or as a result of such transaction becomes, the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50)% of the voting stock of AGSA; (B) the sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of (including capital stock owned by) the AGSA Entities, on a consolidated basis, to any Person or group of related Persons or Persons acting in concert with each other, other than the Permitted Holders; or (C) AGSA is liquidated or dissolved or adopts a plan of liquidation or dissolution (other than in connection with any internal restructuring that does not change the ultimate beneficial ownership of AGSA) or files any voluntary or involuntary petition under any bankruptcy Law.

(d) The Receiving Party may terminate its right to receive any particular Service with an effective Termination Date during the Initial Term, with the prior written consent of the Providing Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and on no less than nine (9) months prior written notice (or such longer notice as may be required by Law) (such notice, or any notice to terminate this Agreement as provided herein, the "Termination Notice"), setting forth in reasonable detail the Services to be terminated (the "Terminated Services") and the Termination Date for each Terminated Service; provided that in the event of any material increase of the Fees of any Corporate Service pursuant to Section 3.1(d), the Receiving Party may terminate the applicable Services pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) without the prior written consent of the Providing Party.

(e) Either Party may terminate this Agreement or its obligation to provide or receive any particular Service, for any or no reason, effective no earlier than the Assessment Date, by providing the other Party a Termination Notice not fewer than nine (9) months prior to the Termination Date, which notice will, if one or more Services are being terminated, set forth in reasonable detail the Terminated Services and the Termination Date for each Terminated Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, AGSA shall not have the right to terminate the Ardagh Name License pursuant to this Section 8.1(e).

(f) If a Party materially breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement, and, if such breach is curable, does not cure such breach within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice thereof from the non-breaching Party, then the non-breaching Party may, at its option, terminate any Service affected by such breach by providing a Termination Notice to the breaching Party effective as of the tenth (10th) day following the date of such notice; provided that if such breach is a material breach by AMPSA of any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Ardagh Name or Ardagh Logo, the Ardagh Name License and Transitional License, as applicable, shall terminate effective as of the date of delivery of the Termination Notice therefor.

(g) This Agreement and any Service may be terminated by mutual consent of the Parties in writing at any time.

(h) From and after the Termination Date, the Receiving Party shall not be obligated to pay any Fees in connection with any validly Terminated Services other than (i) Fees owed for such Terminated Services rendered but not paid for prior to the Termination Date and (ii) any Third Party costs incurred by the Providing Party in connection with the termination of such Terminated Services, solely to the extent such Third Party costs would not have otherwise been incurred but for the requirement or request to provide Services to the Receiving Party. Upon the termination of any Services hereunder, the Parties will in good faith discuss and agree on an appropriate adjustment to the Fees to reflect that such Service is no longer being provided.

SECTION 8.2 Migration Plan; Transition Assistance.

(a) Upon the termination of any Services by the Receiving Party, the Receiving Party shall, to the extent the Receiving Party desires to migrate such Terminated Services from the Providing Party to the Receiving Party's Group, develop a migration plan, which shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the

21

Providing Party, no later than ninety (90) days prior to the applicable Termination Date on a migration plan to facilitate an orderly and efficient transition of such Terminated Services (the "Migration Plan"). The Migration Plan shall set forth the responsibilities of each of the Parties in sufficient detail to provide each Party a clear transition roadmap at a functional level, and each Party shall appoint a migration manager to oversee the Migration Plan's development and execution.

(b) The Providing Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Receiving Party (including responding to any reasonable inquiries by the Receiving Party) to facilitate the transfer of responsibility for such Terminated Service from the Providing Party to the Receiving Party (or its designee) as of the applicable Termination Date. If requested by the Receiving Party, subject to applicable Law, the Providing Party will provide reasonable cooperation and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Receiving Party in accomplishing an orderly transition, as of the applicable Termination Date, to the Receiving Party or an alternative provider of the applicable Terminated Services, including, to the extent reasonably necessary in connection therewith, providing, upon reasonable advance notice, reasonable access during normal business hours to the Providing Party's applicable books, records, systems, facilities and employees; provided that in the event the Providing Party determines in its reasonable discretion that affording any such access to the Receiving Party would be commercially detrimental in any material respect or violate any applicable Law or agreement to which the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates is a party, or waive or result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege applicable to the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates, the Parties shall take such steps as are reasonably necessary to permit the Providing Party's compliance with such request in a manner that avoids any such detriment, harm or consequence.

(c) The Providing Party shall, upon the reasonable request of the Receiving Party, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Receiving Party to support any transfer of data concerning the relevant Terminated Services to the Receiving Party; provided that the Providing Party shall bear the fees, costs and expenses associated with the extraction and transfer of such data to the Receiving Party, and the Receiving Party shall bear the fees, costs and expenses associated with the receipt and any transformation and remediation of such data (including any transformation or remediation requested by the Receiving Party prior to extraction and transfer). Subject to Article V and Article VI, if reasonably requested by the Receiving Party, the Providing Party shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Receiving Party, within such time periods as the Parties may reasonably agree, all records, data, files and other information received or generated for the primary benefit of the Receiving Party in connection with the provision of such Terminated Services; provided, however, that the Providing Party (i) shall not be obligated to deliver, or cause to be delivered, any information that is proprietary or privileged or subject to any restrictions on disclosure or use arising from any legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation of the Providing Party and (ii) may retain a copy of any such records, data, files or other information to the extent required by applicable Law, consistent with its existing record retention policies and related to its own business, assets or liabilities.

SECTION 8.3 Survival. Articles I (Definitions), III (Fees and Payment), IV (Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability), V (Intellectual Property), VI (Confidentiality), VII (Indemnification), VIII (Term and Termination) and IX (Miscellaneous) shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement. Subject to applicable Law and the relevant statute of limitations, the indemnification obligations of the Parties set forth in Article VII (Indemnification) shall expire six (6) months after the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any termination with respect to one or more, but less than all of the Services, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any Services not terminated hereby.

In the event of a conflict between the terms contained in an individual Exhibit and the terms in the body of this Agreement, the terms in this Agreement shall control.

SECTION 9.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by a Party (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempt to make any purported assignment or other transfer without such consent shall be void and unenforceable. Except for Article VII which is intended to benefit, and to be enforceable by, the parties specified therein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and, subject to the foregoing sentence, their respective permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.7 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or restated only by a written agreement executed by each of the Parties.

SECTION 3.4 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) Any Person seeking any indemnification under this Article III (an "Indemnified Party"), acting through AGSA or AMPSA, as applicable, shall give the Party from which indemnification is being sought (an "Indemnifying Party") prompt notice (a "Claim Notice") of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article III; provided, however, that if an Indemnified Party shall receive written notice of any third party claim (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice. The Claim Notice shall (i) indicate whether the matter for which indemnification is sought (an "Indemnity Claim") results from or arises out of a Third Party Claim or a direct claim, (ii) describe with reasonable specificity the nature of the Indemnity Claim and (iii) state the amount of Losses sought pursuant to such Indemnity Claim to the extent then known. The failure to deliver or timely deliver the Claim Notice shall not affect the rights of the Indemnified Party to

10

indemnification under this Article III, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such failure.

(b) Third Party Claims.

(i) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the defense of a Third Party Claim, upon delivery of written notice to the Indemnified Party (the "Defense Notice") within twenty (20) days after the Indemnifying Party's receipt of the Claim Notice (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires); provided that the Defense Notice shall specify the counsel the Indemnifying Party will appoint to defend such Third Party Claim (such counsel to be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party). The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of any such Third Party Claim in accordance herewith. If the Indemnifying Party timely delivers a Defense Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, (A) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party apprised of all material developments with respect to such Third Party Claim and (B) the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, all at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control the defense of any Third Party Claim if (A) such Third Party Claim is with respect to a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (B) it fails to actively and diligently conduct its defense of such Third Party Claim, (C) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim or (D) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event of any of the foregoing circumstances and the Indemnified Party has nonetheless permitted the Indemnifying Party to control the defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party desires to so control such defense, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one counsel (in addition to any required local counsel) of the Indemnified Party.

(iii) The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, (A) settle or compromise a Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any order which does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim, (B) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim if the settlement imposes equitable or other non-monetary remedies or other obligations on the Indemnified Party or (C) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim if the result is to admit civil or criminal liability or culpability on the part of the Indemnified Party that gives rise to criminal liability with respect to the Indemnified Party. No Third Party Claim which is being defended by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be settled or compromised by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

(i) In the event AGSA and AMPSA mutually determine or are otherwise required by applicable Law to separate the AGSA North America Retirement Plan (the "AGSA US DB Plan"), AMPSA and AGSA shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause their applicable Subsidiaries to transfer all of the AGSA US DB Plan assets and Liabilities, including any related funding obligations, related to current or former AMP Employees out of the AGSA US DB Plan into another appropriate arrangement established by an AMP Entity designated by AMPSA and separate from the AGSA US DB Plan (the "AMP US DB Plan"). Any transfer of assets and Liabilities from the AGSA US DB Plan to the AMP US DB Plan shall be in accordance with applicable accounting standards and ERISA and other applicable Law, and AGSA and AMPSA shall cooperate to make such transfer tax efficient, to the extent reasonably possible. To the extent any assets are transferred from the AGSA US DB Plan to the AMP US DB Plan in excess of assets contributed to the AGSA US DB Plan on behalf of current or former AMP Employees, AMPSA will or will cause an AMP Entity to promptly reimburse AGSA in an amount equal to such excess on a tax-effected basis (such that the excess will be reduced by any tax benefit in respect of contribution of such assets to the AGSA US DB Plan). The AMP US DB Plan, if established, shall be an AMP Plan. AMPSA or an AMP Entity shall make the required minimum funding contributions to the AMP US DB Plan in relation to the separation from the AGSA US DB Plan. The AGSA US DB Plan will be operated in good faith with respect to AMPSA. No

12

AMP Employee shall accrue any additional benefits under the AGSA US DB Plan following the time of the separation of the AMP US DB Plan; instead, AMP Employees, if eligible, shall accrue benefits under the AMP US DB Plan to the extent provided in the AMP US DB Plan. AGSA and AMPSA, as applicable, shall timely provide notices, if any, required under Law to the affected AMP Employees, and to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. AGSA's actuary shall provide all certifications required for the transfers of assets and Liabilities contemplated under this Section 4.2(c).

(ii) Determinations under Section 4.2(c)(i) shall be made using reasonable assumptions that are consistent with past practice, to the extent applicable, and agreed upon by certified actuaries retained by each of AGSA and AMPSA. All calculations of assets and Liabilities, and methodologies related thereto, shall be proposed by AGSA's certified actuary and shall be subject to review and approval by AMPSA's certified actuary. In the event of a dispute regarding the calculation or allocation of assets and Liabilities or funding obligations, or the methodologies or assumptions used for such calculations or allocations, in each case under this Section 4.2(c), such dispute shall be exclusively and finally determined, at the request of either party, by an independent certified actuary at a nationally recognized actuarial or accounting firm. Such independent actuary shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties, and all fees of such independent actuary shall be shared equally by AGSA and AMPSA. The parties agree to comply with any determination made by such independent actuary.

SECTION 4.3 Transfer of Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of Section 3.2, effective as of the AMP Closing, AGSA and AMPSA shall cause (i) the AMP Entities to, assume or retain, as the case may be, and be responsible for all obligations with respect to (and indemnify, defend and hold harmless the AGSA Entities from and against) any and all AMP Employee Liabilities, whether arising before, on or after the AMP Closing, and (ii) the AGSA Entities to, assume or retain, as the case may be, and be responsible for all obligations with respect to (and indemnify, defend and hold harmless the AMP Entities from and against) any and all AGSA Retained Employee Liabilities, whether arising before, on or after AMP Closing. Upon request by AMPSA, AGSA shall promptly provide financial and other reasonable information regarding AMP Employee Liabilities to AMPSA.

SECTION 4.4 Terms and Conditions of Employment.

(a) AMPSA will cause the other AMP Entities to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to (i) comply with any obligations or standards arising under applicable Laws governing the terms and conditions of the employment of AMP Employees and (ii) provide terms and conditions of employment in a manner that does not unreasonably result in any obligation, contingent or otherwise, of any AGSA Entity to pay any severance, vacation payout, termination indemnity, termination related payment or other similar benefit (including such benefits required under applicable Laws) to any AMP Employee.

(b) AGSA will cause the other AGSA Entities to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to (i) comply with any obligations or standards arising under applicable Laws governing the terms and conditions of the employment of AGSA Retained Employees and (ii) provide terms and conditions of employment in a manner that does not unreasonably result in any obligation, contingent or otherwise, of any AMP Entity to pay any severance, vacation payout, termination indemnity, termination related payment or other similar benefit (including such benefits required under applicable Laws) to any AGSA Retained Employee.

SECTION 4.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Amendment. Without limiting the generality of Section 7.8, all provisions contained in this Article IV are included for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights (a) in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any

13

participant in any Plan or any dependent or beneficiary thereof (including any AMP Employee or AGSA Retained Employee), or (b) to continued employment with any AGSA Retained Subsidiary or any AMP Entity. Nothing contained herein, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an amendment or other modification or adoption of any Plan or Collective Bargaining Agreement, or shall limit the right of any AGSA Entity or any AMP Entity to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Plan or Collective Bargaining Agreement following the AMP Closing in accordance with its terms. In the event that (i) a party other than the parties hereto makes a claim or takes other action to enforce any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to any Plan or Collective Bargaining Agreement, and (ii) such provision is deemed in any judicial proceeding to be an amendment to such Plan or Collective Bargaining Agreement even though not explicitly designated as such in this Agreement, then such provision, to the extent covered by such deemed amendment, shall lapse retroactively and shall have no amendatory effect.

Effective as of the AMP Closing (a) AGSA hereby assigns and transfers to AMPSA, and AMPSA hereby accepts and assumes, all of AGSA's rights and obligations under (i) that certain Equity and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2016, by and among AGSA, Ball Corporation and Rexam PLC (the "EAPA") and (ii) that certain Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement, dated October 31, 2019, by and between AGSA and Trivium Packaging B.V.

(b) Effective as of the AMP Closing Date, the applicable AGSA Retained Subsidiaries shall assume and thereafter be responsible for all Liabilities that may result from any Actions to the extent related to the AGSA Retained Business (the "AGSA Retained Actions") and, subject to Section 3.4, all fees and costs relating to the defense of the AGSA Retained Actions, including

15

attorneys,' accountants,' consultants' and other professionals' fees and expenses that have been incurred prior to the AMP Closing Date and are unpaid as of or after the AMP Closing Date, or that are incurred on or after the AMP Closing Date.

(c) The parties hereto agree that at all times from and after the AMP Closing Date, if an Action relates to the AMP Business and the AGSA Retained Business or is commenced by a third party naming an AMP Entity (with respect to any Action related to the AGSA Retained Business) or an AGSA Entity (with respect to any Action related to the AMP Business) as a defendant thereto, then the parties hereto shall cooperate and consult to the extent necessary or advisable with respect to the defense of such Action.

(d) Each party hereto shall use reasonable efforts to make available to the other party hereto and its attorneys, accountants, consultants and other designated representatives, upon written request, its directors, managers, officers, employees and representatives as witnesses, and shall otherwise cooperate with the other party hereto, to the extent reasonably requested in connection with any Action, the facts of which arise prior to the AMP Closing Date in which the requesting party hereto may from time to time be involved.

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties or provided in the Services Agreement the AMP Business shall, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Services Agreement, continue to be insured by insurance policies held by the AGSA Entities or by any of their self-insured programs.

SECTION 5.6 Intercompany Accounts. All intercompany receivables, payables and loans between any AGSA Retained Subsidiary, on the one hand, and any AMP Entity, on the other hand, other than the AGSA Hedging Arrangements or receivables or payables in respect of ordinary course of business transactions on arms' length terms, shall, prior to the AMP Closing or as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, be settled, paid, capitalized, contributed to the capital of the applicable Person, distributed or otherwise terminated, in each case, as determined by AGSA, and AGSA and, if applicable, AMPSA, shall cause the applicable AGSA Retained Subsidiaries and AMP Entities to make all payments, capital contributions, transfers or distributions necessary or appropriate to effectuate such settlement, payment, capitalization, contribution, distribution or other termination of such intercompany receivables, payables and loans with the result that there shall not be any material intercompany receivables, payables and loans between any AGSA Retained Subsidiary, on the one hand, and any AMP Entity, on the other hand, after the AMP Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that certain payments in respect of intercompany payables arising in connection with the AMP Transfer will be made following the BCA Closing Date or, if applicable, at such other times contemplated by the Steps Plan.

SECTION 5.7 Hedging Arrangements.

(a) From and after AMP Closing, AGSA shall cause each applicable AGSA Retained Subsidiary to maintain all currency and commodity hedging that such Person has entered into for the benefit of an AMP Entity for purposes of such AMP Entity receiving the economic benefits, and being subject to the economic risks, of such hedging arrangements (such arrangements the "AGSA Hedging Arrangements") at the direction of AMPSA pursuant to and in accordance with the Services Agreement, and AGSA and AMPSA shall implement arrangements reasonably acceptable to each of them to both (i) provide the applicable AMP Entity, to the fullest extent practicable, with all claims, rights and benefits under the AGSA Hedging Arrangements, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the mark-to-market position existing on the AMP Closing Date and (ii) cause the applicable AMP Entity to bear all Liabilities thereunder, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the mark-to-market position existing on the AMP Closing Date.

16

Any such cash collateral paid may be netted against future settlements of trades as agreed between AGSA and AMPSA.

SECTION 5.8 Credit and Performance Support Obligations.

(a) AGSA and AMPSA shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause each AGSA Retained Subsidiary to be, prior to the AMP Closing Date, replaced or removed as a guarantor or obligor under, and released or relieved from any Liability arising out of, any letters of credit, performance bonds, corporate guarantees, statutory guarantees or obligations and other similar obligations outstanding in favor of a third party in connection with the AMP Business (together the "Transferred Guarantees"). Without limiting the generality of Section 3.3, from and after the AMP Closing, AMPSA shall indemnify each AGSA Entity against any Losses arising from or relating to any Transferred Guarantees. AGSA and AMPSA shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts after the AMP Transfer to relieve, remove, release or replace each AGSA Retained Subsidiary from any remaining Transferred Guarantees.

(b) AGSA shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each AMP Entity to be, prior to the AMP Closing Date, replaced or removed as a guarantor or obligor under, and released or relieved from any Liability arising out of, any letters of credit, performance bonds, corporate guarantees, statutory guarantees or obligations, collateral or security agreements or arrangements and other similar obligations in favor of a third party in connection with the AGSA Retained Business (together, the "Excluded Guarantees"); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to, or substantially concurrently with, the AMP Closing Date, AGSA shall cause (i) each AMP Entity to be released from all guarantees of the Ardagh Existing Indebtedness (as defined in the BCA) and all other obligations and liabilities of the AMP Entities in respect of the Ardagh Existing Indebtedness, to be terminated and released and (ii) all Encumbrances granted by the AMP Entities, or otherwise existing with respect to the assets of the AMP Entities or the AMP Business, securing any Ardagh Existing Indebtedness or guarantees or other obligations or liabilities with respect to Ardagh Existing Indebtedness, to be released, in the case of each of the foregoing (i) and (ii), pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to GHV as set forth in the BCA. Without limiting the generality of Section 3.1, from and after the AMP Transfer, AGSA shall indemnify and hold harmless each AMP Entity against any Losses arising from or relating to the Excluded Guarantees. AGSA and AMPSA shall use their commercially reasonable efforts after the AMP Transfer to relieve, remove, release or replace each AMP Entity from any remaining Excluded Guarantees.

SECTION 5.9 Further Actions. From time to time after the AMP Closing, without additional consideration, each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such other action as may be necessary or is reasonably requested by another party hereto to make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, reasonably promptly following the AMP Closing, AGSA shall, and shall cause the AGSA Retained Subsidiaries to, take all action necessary, including by filing all necessary documentation with the applicable Governmental Authority (or Internet domain name registrar, in the case of Internet domain names), to cause AMPSA or one of the other AMP Entities designated by AMPSA to be the legal, beneficial and record owner of each item of Registered Owned Intellectual

17

Property (as defined in the BCA) set forth or required to be set forth on Section 4.14(b) of the AGSA Disclosure Schedule, and AGSA shall reasonably promptly deliver evidence of the foregoing to GHV.

SECTION 5.10 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) For a period from the BCA Closing Date until the earlier of (i) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the BCA Closing Date or (ii) the date on which AGSA no longer, directly or indirectly, is the beneficial owner of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of AMPSA (such period, the "Non-Compete Period"), none of AGSA or its Subsidiaries (excluding any AMP Entity) shall, directly or indirectly, and except with respect to the AMP Entities, engage in the development, manufacture, marketing or sale of metal beverage cans and ends (excluding, in each case, kegs and aluminum bottles) or the provision of related technical and customer services, in each case, as developed, manufactured, marketed, sold or provided by the AMP Business on the date hereof. Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Services Agreement, for a period from the BCA Closing Date until the earlier of (A) the second (2nd) anniversary of the BCA Closing Date, or (B) the date on which AGSA no longer, directly or indirectly, is the beneficial owner of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of AMPSA (such period, the "Non-Solicit Period"), none of AGSA or its Subsidiaries (excluding any AMP Entity) shall, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire, or cause to be solicited or hired, any AMP Employee with an annual base salary or wages greater than €150,000; provided that this Agreement shall not prohibit any (1) advertisement, general solicitation or search firm engagement (or hiring as a result thereof) that is not specifically targeted at such persons or (2) direct solicitation of any AMP Employee whose employment by or term in office with any AMP Entity is terminated prior to the date of the applicable solicitation.

(b) For the duration of the Non-Compete Period, no AMP Entity shall, directly or indirectly (but excluding any services provided to the AGSA Entities pursuant to the Services Agreement), engage in the AGSA Retained Business as it is conducted by the AGSA Entities on the date hereof. Except for AMP Employees and except as otherwise contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Services Agreement, for the duration of the Non-Solicit Period, the AMP Entities shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire, or cause to be solicited or hired, any AGSA Retained Employee with an annual base salary or wages greater than €150,000, provided that this Agreement shall not prohibit any (i) advertisement, general solicitation or search firm engagement (or hiring as a result thereof) that is not specifically targeted at such persons or (ii) direct solicitation of any AGSA Retained Employee whose employment by or term in office with any AGSA Entity is terminated prior to the date of the applicable solicitation.

(c) The covenants and undertakings in this Section 5.10 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 5.10 will cause irreparable injury to the AGSA Entities or the AMP Entities, as applicable, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 5.10 will be inadequate. Therefore, AGSA and AMPSA, as applicable, will be entitled to seek a temporary and permanent injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 5.10 without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 5.10(c) are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which AGSA or AMPSA, as applicable, may have hereunder at law or in equity.

SECTION 5.11 No Right to Set-Off. Neither party hereto shall have any right to set off any payments payable to the other party under this Agreement (including any payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.3(c) or Article III) against any payments to be made by such party pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties hereto and no party hereto may

18

withhold any such funds pursuant to this Agreement in the event there is a dispute regarding any other matter set forth in this Agreement or the Services Agreement.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 7.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and, to the extent applicable hereto, the BCA, the Services Agreement and the Local Conveyances constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

SECTION 7.5 Assignment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise of any other right hereunder.

A Notice may be given by the Company to the holders of Shares held through a Depository by giving such Notice to the Depository the name of which is listed in the Register of Shareholders in respect of the Shares, and any such Notice shall be regarded as proper Notice to all underlying holders of Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make payments, by way of dividends or otherwise, in cash, shares or other assets as permitted pursuant to these Articles, only to the Depository or sub-depository recorded in the Register of Shareholders or in accordance with its instructions, and such payment by the Company shall release the Company from any and all obligations in respect of such payment.

12. Transfer of Shares

12.1 Any Shareholder may, subject to the provisions of the Act and the restrictions contained in these Articles, transfer all or any of such Shareholder's Shares by written instrument of transfer; provided that shares listed or admitted to trading on a stock exchange may be transferred in accordance with the rules and regulations of such exchange.

10

13. Compulsory Transfer of Shares

13.1 If, at any time, a person is or becomes, directly or indirectly, the owner of seventy-five per cent (75%) or more of the number of Share Capital In Issue, such person (the "Acquiror") may require the holders of the remaining Share Capital In Issue (such holders, the "Remaining Holders" and such Shares, the "Remaining Shares") to sell such Remaining Shares to the Acquiror. The Acquiror shall exercise its right to acquire the Remaining Shares by giving Notice to the Company (an "Article 13 Notice") that specifies: (a) the identity and contact details of the Acquiror, (b) if then determined, the price that the Acquiror will pay for the Remaining Shares (being the fair market value thereof as determined in accordance with this Article 13) and the identity of the independent investment banking firm of international reputation (the "Acquiror Expert") engaged or that will be engaged by the Acquiror to determine the fair market value of the Remaining Shares; (c) the Acquiror's sources of payment of the purchase price for the Remaining Shares (which payment must be in the form of cash), and evidence that the Acquiror has secured funds sufficient to make such payment; and (d) subject to this Article 13, any other conditions governing the purchase of the the Remaining Shares.

13.2 Promptly (but, in any event, within fourteen (14) days) following receipt by the Company of an Article 13 Notice, the Company shall serve Notice on all the Remaining Holders (the "Compulsory Acquisition Notice"), setting forth (a) that the Acquiror has served an Article 13 Notice and outlining the consequences of such Article 13 Notice pursuant to this Article 13, (b) the name of the Acquiror Expert retained or to be retained by the Acquiror to determine the fair market value of the Remaining Shares, and (c) if the Acquiror has so notified the Company, the price determined by the Acquiror Expert as the fair market value of the Remaining Shares (the "Acquiror Purchase Price"). If the Acquiror Purchase Price has not been determined by the Acquiror Expert on the date of the delivery by the Acquiror of the Article 13 Notice, the Acquiror shall cause the Acquiror Expert to determine the Acquiror Purchase Price within twenty-one (21) days of such date, and shall promptly (but in any event within three (3) days) following such determination, give Notice to the Company thereof. The Company shall promptly thereafter serve Notice on all the Remaining Holders setting forth the Acquiror Purchase Price.

13.3 If Remaining Holders holding at least ten per cent 10% of the Remaining Shares object to the Acquiror Purchase Price, such Remaining Holders may provide Notice of such objection to the Acquiror (the "Notice of Objection"), with a copy to the Company, no later than ten (10) days after the date on which the Company notified the Remaining Holders of the Acquiror Purchase Price. If no Notice of Objection is provided to the Acquiror within such time period, the Acquiror Purchase Price shall be final and binding on the Acquiror and all the Remaining Holders and shall be the "Purchase Price" for purposes of this Article 13. The Acquiror and the objecting Remaining Holders may attempt to agree on the fair market value of the Remaining Shares, and any fair market value agreed by the Acquiror and Remaining Holders holding a majority of the Remaining Shares held by all objecting Remaining Holders shall be final and binding on the Acquiror and all the Remaining Holders and shall the "Purchase Price" for purposes of this Article 13. Failing agreement on such fair market value within fifteen (15) days of the date of the Notice of Objection, the objecting Remaining Holders may engage, at the expense of the Company, an investment banking firm of international reputation (the "Remaining Holder Expert") to determine the fair market value of the Remaining Shares. The Remaining Holder Expert shall determine such fair market value within thirty-five (35) days of the date of the Notice of Objection. If the difference between the fair market value determined by the Remaining Holder Expert and the Acquiror Purchase Price is not more than ten percent (10%) of the higher valuation, the purchase price for the Remaining Shares shall be the average of the Acquiror Purchase Price and the fair market value determined by the Remaining Holder Expert. If the difference between the fair market value determined by the Remaining Holder Expert and the Acquiror Purchase Price is greater than ten percent (10%) of the higher valuation, the Acquiror Expert and the

11

Remaining Holder Expert shall select and engage, at the expense of the Company, a third investment banking firm of international reputation to determine the fair market value of the Remaining Shares within sixty-five (65) days of the date of the Notice of Objection. The fair market value of the Remaining Shares shall be the average of the fair market value of the two (2) closest valuations of the three (3) investment banking firms, and such valuation shall be final and binding on the Acquiror and all the Remaining Holders (the fair market value as determined by the Acquiror Expert, as agreed by the Acquiror and the objecting Remaining Holders in accordance with the second sentence of this Article 13.3 or as determined by the investment banking firms in accordance with this Article 13.3, the "Purchase Price"). Subject to execution by the Acquiror Expert, the Remaining Holder Expert and the third investment banking firm of customary confidentiality agreements, the Company shall provide each of them with such financial and other information as they reasonably request to enable them to make their determinations under this Article 13; provided that all three (3) investment banking firms shall receive the same financial and other information. Promptly following the determination of the Purchase Price, the Company shall serve Notice on all the Remaining Holders setting forth the Purchase Price.

13.4 Upon the service of the Compulsory Acquisition Notice, or, if later, the date on which the Remaining Holders are notified by the Company of the Purchase Price, subject to Article 13.5, each of the Remaining Holders shall be required to sell all of the Remaining Shares held by them to the Acquiror, and, subject to Article 13.4, Article 13.5 and the conditions set forth in the Article 13 Notice, the Acquiror shall be bound to acquire all of such Remaining Shares, for the Purchase Price, and, in furtherance thereof, pay to the Company at the closing of the sale and purchase of the Remaining Shares, for remittance to the Remaining Holders, the consideration to be paid by the Acquiror for all the Remaining Shares.

13.5 In selling its Remaining Shares to the Acquiror and accepting the Purchase Price therefor, each Remaining Holder shall represent (or be deemed by virtue of Article 13.7 to represent) to the Acquiror that (a) it has full right, title and interest to such Remaining Holder's Remaining Shares, (b) has all necessary power and authority, and has taken all necessary actions to sell such Remaining Holder's Remaining Shares to the Acquiror, and (c) such Remaining Holder's Remaining Shares are free and clear of all liens or encumbrances except those imposed by applicable law or these Articles. Other than the foregoing representations, no Remaining Holder shall be required to (i) make any representations to the Acquiror in connection with the sale of its Remaining Shares under this Article 13, (ii) provide or otherwise grant any right to indemnification in favor of such Acquiror in connection with such sale or (iii) otherwise agree to be bound by any restrictive covenants in connection with such sale. If any Remaining Holder does not (or cannot) make any such representations, or the Acquiror determines before or after its acquisition of the Remaining Shares held by such Remaining Holder that such representations are incorrect, then the Acquiror may, at its option, determine not to acquire such Remaining Holder's Remaining Shares or, if it has already acquired such shares, pursue any remedies it has against such Remaining Holder for breach of such representations, as applicable.

13.6 The closing of such sale and purchase shall occur as promptly as practicable after the service of the Compulsory Acquisition Notice or the determination of the Purchase Price (whichever is later); provided that no Remaining Holder shall be required to sell, and the Acquiror shall not be required to purchase, any Remaining Shares if such purchase or sale would violate any applicable law, regulation or order.

13.7 Upon the service of the Compulsory Acquisition Notice, the Company shall be required to take all such actions as may reasonably be requested by the Acquiror to enable it to implement the acquisition by it, and registration in the Register of Shareholders in its name (and/or those of its designee(s)), of all of the Remaining Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 13.

12

13.8 In furtherance (but not in limitation) of the provisions of this Article 13, the Chairman for the time being (or some other person appointed by the Company for this purpose) shall be deemed to have been appointed attorney of each of the Remaining Holders with full power (and obligation, if so requested by the Acquiror) to execute, complete and deliver, in the name and on behalf of each Remaining Holder (a) a transfer in favor of the Acquiror and/or its designee(s) of all of the Remaining Shares held by such Remaining Holder against delivery to the Company of the Purchase Price for such Remaining Holder's Remaining Shares and (b) subject to Article 13.4, such other closing documents and deliverables as the Acquiror may reasonably require so as to vest all rights and entitlements in or in respect of the shares held by such Remaining Holder in the Acquiror and/or its designee(s) (including a power of attorney in favor of the Acquiror and/or its designee(s) to vote and exercise all rights in respect of such shares pending the registration in the Register of Shareholders of the Acquiror and/or its designee(s) as the holder(s) of such shares).

13.9 The Acquiror, on delivery to the Company of the consideration to which the Remaining Holders are entitled in accordance with this Article 13, shall be deemed to have obtained a good discharge for such consideration and, on delivery of such consideration and execution and delivery of the closing documents required to be executed by the Acquiror to effect its purchase of the Remaining Shares, the Acquiror shall be entitled to require the Company to register its name (or that of its designee) in the Register of Shareholders as the holder by transfer of each of the Remaining Shares.

13.10 The Company shall, as soon as practicable after its receipt of the consideration for the Remaining Shares and the other closing documents and deliverables required to effect the transfer of such shares, deliver to each Remaining Holder the consideration to which such Remaining Holder is entitled in accordance with this Article 13 or, if in the opinion of the Board it is not reasonably practical to do so at such time, pay the same into a separate bank account, in the name of the Company and shall hold such consideration in trust for the applicable Remaining Holder until such time as the Board considers it appropriate to release such consideration.

13.11 If, at the end of the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day after delivery by the Acquiror of the Article 13 Notice, the sale of all of the Remaining Shares has not been completed because of the failure of the Acquiror to take any action required to effect such sale within such time period, the Article 13 Notice shall be deemed null and void, the Acquiror shall no longer have the right (or obligation) to purchase the Remaining Shares under this Article 13, and each Remaining Holder and the Company shall be released from their obligations under this Article 13 in respect of the sale of the Remaining Shares.

ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

14. Power to Alter Capital

14.1 The Company may from time to time by Special Resolution and subject to any greater quorum or majority requirements as may be provided for in the Act, increase, divide, consolidate, subdivide, change the currency denomination of, diminish or otherwise alter or reduce its Share Capital In Issue in any manner permitted by the Act or these Articles; provided, that nothing herein shall affect or diminish the authority granted to the Board under Article 7 or Article 8.

14.2 If, following any alteration or reduction of the Share Capital In Issue, a Shareholder would receive a fraction of a Share, the Board may, subject to the Act, address such issue in such manner as it thinks fit, including by disregarding such fractional entitlement.

13

DIVIDENDS, OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS AND LEGAL RESERVE

15. Dividends and Other Distributions

15.1 Subject to the provisions of the Act, the general meeting may declare dividends by Ordinary Resolution, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Board.

15.2 The Board may, subject to these Articles and the terms and conditions provided for and under the Act, declare an interim dividend (acompte sur dividendes) if it determines that it is appropriate to pay such an interim dividend based on the amount of distributable reserves of the Company. Any such interim dividend will be paid to the Shareholders, in proportion to the number of Shares held by them, and such dividend may be paid in cash or wholly or partly in specie in which case the Board may fix the value for distribution in specie of any assets. Any interim dividends declared by the Board and paid during a financial year will be put to the Shareholders at the following general meeting to be declared as final. The Company shall not be required to pay interest with respect to any dividend or distribution declared by the Company, regardless of when or if paid.

15.3 Subject to applicable laws and regulations, in order for the Company to determine which Shareholders shall be entitled to receipt of any dividend, the Board may fix a record date, which record date will be the close of business (or such other time as the Board may determine) on the date determined by the Board. In the absence of a record date being fixed, the record date for determining Shareholders entitled to receipt of any dividend shall the close of business in Luxembourg on the day the dividend is declared.

15.4 The Board may propose to the general meeting such other distributions (in cash or in specie) to the Shareholders as may be lawfully made out of the assets of the Company.

15.6 Any dividend or other payment which has remained unclaimed for five (5) years from the date the dividend or other payment became due for payment shall, if the Board so resolves, be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company. The payment by the Board of any unclaimed dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a Share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof.

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

25. Number of Directors

The Board shall consist of no fewer than three (3) Directors and no more than fifteen (15) Directors, with the number of Directors within that range being determined by the Board from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Company has one Shareholder, the Board may consist of one Director or such other number of Directors as determined by such Shareholder.

26. Election of Directors

26.1 The Board or one or more Shareholders that together hold at least ten per cent (10%) of the Share Capital in Issue on the date of the Notice to the Company may nominate any person for election as a Director. Where any person, other than a person proposed for re-election or election as a Director by the Board, is to be nominated for election as a Director, Notice to the Company, complying with the requirements of this Article 26.1, must be given of the intention to nominate such person. Where a person is nominated for election as a Director other than by the Board:

(a) such Notice to the Company must set forth: (i) in respect of each person whom the Shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a Director, (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of each such person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of each such person, (C) the class or series and number of Shares owned beneficially or of record by each such person and (D) any other information relating to each such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of Directors pursuant to applicable laws or regulations or that the Company may reasonably request in order to determine the eligibility of each such person to serve as a Director; (ii) the name and record address of each Shareholder giving the Notice and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on behalf of which the person is being nominated; and (iii) the class or series and number of Shares which are registered in the name of or beneficially owned by such Shareholder or beneficial owner (including any shares as to which any such Shareholder or beneficial owner has a right to acquire ownership at any time in the future); (iv) a description of all derivatives,

17

swaps or other transactions or series of transactions engaged in, directly or indirectly, by such Shareholder or beneficial owner, the purpose or effect of which is to give such Shareholder or beneficial owner economic risk similar to ownership of Shares; and (v) a description of all agreements, arrangements, understandings or relationships between such Shareholder or beneficial owner and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposed nomination by such Shareholder and any material relationship between such Shareholder or beneficial owner and the person proposed to be nominated for election; and

(b) such Notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each person whom the Shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a Director to being named as a nominee and to serve as a Director if elected.

26.2 Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman of the general meeting at which Directors are to be elected shall have the power and duty to determine whether a proposal to elect Directors made by a Shareholder was made in accordance with this Article 26, and if any such proposal was not made in accordance with this Article 26, to declare that such proposal shall be disregarded.

26.3 Except in the case of a vacancy in the office of Director filled by the Board, as provided for in Article 30, the Company may elect Directors by Ordinary Resolution. In a contested election where the number of persons validly proposed for election or re-election to the Board exceeds the number of seats to be filled on the Board at the applicable general meeting, Directors shall be elected by the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or by proxy at such meeting, such that the persons receiving the most affirmative votes (up to the number of Directors to be elected) shall be elected as Directors at such general meeting, and the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall not be required to elect Directors in such circumstance. No Shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate its vote in such circumstance, but may only cast a vote for or against each candidate for each Share it owns.

27. Classes of Directors

The Directors shall be divided into three (3) classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The Board shall designate the Directors who will initially serve in each of Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class of Directors shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one third (1/3) of the total number of Directors constituting the entire Board.

28. Term of Office of Directors

At the first general meeting which is held after the date of adoption of these Articles for the purpose of electing Directors, the Class I Directors shall be elected for an one (1) year term of office, the Class II Directors shall be elected for a two (2) year term of office and the Class III Directors shall be elected for a three (3) year term of office. At each succeeding annual general meeting, successors to the class of Directors whose term expires at that annual general meeting shall be elected for a three (3) year term of office. If the number of Directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes so as to maintain the number of Directors in each class as near to equal as possible, and any Director of any class elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the other Directors of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of Directors shorten the term of any Director then in office. A Director shall hold office until the annual general meeting for the year in which his or her term expires, subject to his or her office being vacated pursuant to Article 30.

29. Removal of Directors

29.1 The mandate of any Director may be terminated, at any time and with or without cause, by the general meeting of Shareholders by means of an Ordinary Resolution in favour of such termination.

18

29.2 If a Director is removed from the Board under Article 29.1, the Shareholders may by means of an Ordinary Resolution fill the vacancy at the meeting at which such Director is removed, provided that any nominee for the vacancy who is proposed by Shareholders shall be proposed in accordance with Article 26.1.

30. Vacancy in the Office of Director

30.1 The office of Director shall be vacated if the Director:

(a) is removed from office pursuant to these Articles or is prohibited from being a Director by law;

(b) is or becomes bankrupt, or makes any arrangement or composition with his or her creditors generally;

(c) is or becomes of unsound mind or dies; or

(d) resigns his or her office by Notice to the Company.

30.2 The Board shall have the power to appoint any person as a Director to fill a vacancy on the Board occurring for any reason other than where the appointment of a Director to fill a vacancy has been made by the Shareholders in accordance with Article 29.2. A Director so appointed shall be appointed to the class of Directors that the Director he or she is replacing belonged to, provided that such Director shall hold office only until ratification by the Shareholders of his or her appointment at the next following general meeting and, if such general meeting does not ratify the appointment, such Director shall vacate his or her office at the conclusion thereof.

31. Remuneration of Directors

The remuneration (if any) of the Directors shall be determined by the Board subject to ratification by Shareholders at a general meeting of Shareholders. Such remuneration shall be deemed to accrue from day to day. Any Director who holds an executive office (including for this purpose the office of Chairman) or who serves on any Board committee, or who otherwise performs services that in the opinion of the Board are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a director, may be paid such additional remuneration for such additional services as the Board may determine. The Directors may also be paid all travel, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending and returning from Board meetings or general meetings, or in connection with the business of the Company or their duties as Directors generally.

32. Directors to Manage Business

The business of the Company shall be managed and conducted by or under the direction of the Board. In managing the business of the Company, the Board may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not, by the Act or by these Articles, required to be exercised by the Company in a general meeting.

(f) delegate any of its powers (including the power to sub-delegate) to one or more committees of one or more persons appointed by the Board which may consist partly of non-Directors, provided that every such committee shall consist of a majority of the Directors and shall conform to such directions as the Board shall impose on them, and the meetings and proceedings of any such committee shall be governed by the provisions of these Articles regulating the meetings and proceedings of the Board, so far as the same are applicable and are not superseded by directions imposed by the Board;

(k) authorise any person or persons to act on behalf of the Company for any specific purpose and in connection therewith to execute any deed, agreement, document or instrument on behalf of the Company.

34. Interested Directors

34.1 No contract or transaction between the Company and one or more of its Directors, or between the Company and any other person in which its Director has a direct or indirect financial

20

interest conflicting with that of the Company, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the Director is present at the meeting of the Board or Board committee that authorizes the contract or transaction so long as the provisions of this Article 34 are observed.

34.2 If a Director has a direct or indirect financial interest in any contract or transaction to which the Company will be party, such interested Director shall advise the Board thereof, cause a record of his or her statement to be included in the minutes of the meeting, and may not take part in the deliberations of the Board or any Board committee with respect to such contract or transaction.

34.3 If one or more Directors are prevented from participating in the deliberations of the Board or of a Board committee by reasons of a direct or indirect financial interest in a contract or transaction, the required quorum for the deliberations on the relevant item will be two (2) non-conflicted Directors present in person at the meeting and the required vote for decisions on such item to be approved by the Board or the Board committee will be the majority of the non-conflicted Directors or the majority of the non-conflicted members of the Board committee, in each case, present in person (or by representation in accordance with Article 40.2) at the meeting; provided that, if there are only two non-conflicted Directors, the affirmative vote of both will be required. To the extent the quorum cannot be reached at the level of a Board committee, the decision shall be referred by the Board committee to the Board. To the extent the quorum cannot be reached at the level of the Board, the Board may decide to refer the decision on such item to the general meeting of Shareholders to be approved by means of an Ordinary Resolution. If the Board consists of one Director in accordance with the provisions of Article 25, and such Director is a conflicted Director, the decision shall be referred by this Director to the general meeting of Shareholders to be approved by means of an Ordinary Resolution.

34.4 The provisions of this Article 34 shall not apply to any contract or transaction that is within the ordinary course of business of the Company or its Subsidiaries and is entered into on an arms' length basis under market conditions.

(a) by hand delivery to such Shareholder or its authorised agent (and in the case of a Notice convening a general meeting, only if such Shareholder has individually agreed to receive Notice in such manner);

(b) by mailing such Notice or document to such Shareholder at its address as recorded in the Register of Shareholders (and in the case of a Notice convening a general meeting, only if such Shareholder has individually agreed to receive Notice in such manner);

In such case, such Notice shall be deemed to have been duly served on all Shareholders entitled thereto at noon on the day on which such advertisement shall appear. In any such case the Company shall send, from Luxembourg or elsewhere (as the Board in its opinion considers practical), confirmatory copies of the Notice convening the general meeting at least eight (8) days before the meeting by mail (or by facsimile or electronic mail in the case of Shareholders that have consented in writing to receive Notices by facsimile or electronic mail as described in Article 50.1(c) and Article 50.1(d)) to those Shareholders the registered addresses of which are outside Luxembourg or are in areas of Luxembourg unaffected by such suspension or curtailment of postal services. If at least eight (8) days prior to the time appointed for the holding of the general meeting, the mailing of Notices to Shareholders in Luxembourg, or any part thereof that was previously affected, has again (in the opinion of the Board) become practical, to the extent such Shareholders have not received Notices convening such meeting by facsimile or electronic mail, the Company shall send confirmatory copies of the Notice by mail to such Shareholders. The accidental omission to give any such confirmatory copy of a Notice of a general meeting to, or the non-receipt of any such confirmatory copy by, any Shareholder (whether by mail or, if applicable, facsimile or electronic mail) shall not invalidate the proceedings at such general meeting, and no proof need be given that this formality has been complied with.

50.6 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 50, the Company shall not be obliged to take account of or make any investigations as to the existence of any suspension or curtailment of postal services within or in relation to all or any part of any jurisdiction or other area other than Luxembourg.

Assumptions, Qualifications and Limiting Conditions

In performing its analyses and rendering this Opinion with respect to the Proposed Transaction, Duff & Phelps, with the Company's consent:

1.
  Relied upon the accuracy, completeness, and fair presentation of all information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained from public sources or provided to it from private sources, including Company management, and did not independently verify such information;
2.

Table of Contents

and that there is no information or facts that would make the information reviewed by Duff & Phelps incomplete or misleading;

7.
  Assumed at the Company's direction that the trust account balance of the Company per share and recent trading prices of the Company's common stock provide a reasonable basis upon which to evaluate the Company's common stock in connection with the Proposed Transaction and the PIPE;
8.
  Assumed that all of the conditions required to implement the Proposed Transaction will be satisfied and that the Proposed Transaction will be completed in accordance with the Agreements without any amendments thereto or any waivers of any terms or conditions thereof; and

  Assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Proposed Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Company, the Target, or the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the Proposed Transaction.

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which this Opinion is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, this Opinion cannot and should not be relied upon. Furthermore, in Duff & Phelps' analysis and in connection with the preparation of this Opinion, Duff & Phelps has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Proposed Transaction.

Duff & Phelps has prepared this Opinion effective as of the date hereof. This Opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of the date hereof, and Duff & Phelps disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting this Opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of Duff & Phelps after the date hereof. As you are aware, the credit, financial and stock markets have been experiencing unusual volatility and we express no opinion or view as to any potential effects of such volatility on the Company, the Target, or the Proposed Transaction.

Duff & Phelps did not evaluate the Company's or the Target's solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise). Duff & Phelps has not been requested to, and did not, (i) initiate any discussions with, or solicit any indications of interest from, third parties with respect to the Proposed Transaction, the assets, businesses or operations of the Company or the Target, or any alternatives to the Proposed Transaction, (ii) negotiate the terms of the Proposed Transaction, and therefore, Duff & Phelps has assumed that such terms are the most beneficial terms, from the Company's perspective, that could, under the circumstances, be negotiated among the parties to the Agreements and the Transaction, or (iii) advise the Board of Directors or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Proposed Transaction.

Duff & Phelps is not expressing any opinion as to the market price or value of the Company's common stock (or anything else) after the announcement of the Proposed Transaction. This Opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of the Company's, the Target's, or any other party's credit worthiness, as tax advice, or as accounting advice. Duff & Phelps has not made, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter.

In rendering this Opinion, Duff & Phelps is not expressing any opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any of the Company's or the Target's officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the Consideration in the Proposed Transaction, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation.

This Opinion (i) does not address the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into the Proposed Transaction versus any alternative strategy or transaction; (ii) other than assuming the consummation thereof in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreements, does not address any transaction related to the Proposed Transaction; (iii) is not a recommendation as to how the Board of Directors or any stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the Proposed Transaction, or whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction, and (iv) does not indicate that the consideration is the best possibly attainable under any circumstances; instead, it merely states whether the consideration in the Proposed Transaction is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction may depend on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analysis on which this Opinion is based.
