The other AleAnna Energy Member, Bonanza Resources (Texas) Inc. received 1,969,882 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Business Combination was accounted for as a common control transaction with respect to AleAnna Energy, which is akin to a reverse recapitalization. Nautilus Resources LLC (“Nautilus”), the majority owner of AleAnna Energy, had a controlling financial interest in AleAnna Energy prior to the Business Combination and has a controlling financial interest in the Company, as AleAnna Energy is a subsidiary of HoldCo, in which AleAnna, Inc. holds a majority economic interest. The net assets of Swiftmerge are stated at their historical carrying amounts with no goodwill or intangible assets recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Business Combination with respect to AleAnna Energy was not treated as a change in control primarily due to Nautilus receiving the controlling voting stake in the Company and the ability of Nautilus to nominate the full board of directors and management of the Company. In accounting for the Business Combination, Swiftmerge was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of AleAnna Energy issuing stock for the net assets of Swiftmerge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of AleAnna, Inc. (the “Class A Common Stock”) and the 11,250,000 warrants issued as part of units in the initial public offering of Swiftmerge (the “Public Warrants”) commenced trading on Nasdaq under the symbols “ANNA” and “ANNAW,” respectively, on December 16, 2024. Each share of Class C Common Stock has voting rights equal to a share of Class A Common Stock but have no entitlement to earnings or distributions of AleAnna. Each share of Class C Common Stock is exchangeable, subject to certain conditions, for one share of Class A Common Stock. The exchange feature does not allow for cash settlement. AleAnna is organized in an “Up-C” structure effective with the Business Combination, and the only direct assets of AleAnna consist of equity interests in HoldCo, whose only direct assets consist of equity interests in AleAnna Energy. The Company’s business is conducted through AleAnna Energy and its subsidiaries. Total proceeds raised from the Business Combination were $0.6 million, representing the proceeds from the Swiftmerge operating account after Swiftmerge public shareholder redemptions. These proceeds were offset by $9.5 million of transaction costs. Approximately $0.6 million of the transaction expenses were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital (up to the amount of cash proceeds from the Business Combination). Approximately $0.5 million represented prepaid directors and officers insurance premiums and were recorded to prepaid expenses and other assets. The remaining $8.4 million of costs incurred were expensed and presented as Business Combination transaction expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, no shares of Class C Common Stock had been exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock.
