New Agreement  – CCPPP

Pivotal180 is excited to announce we have signed a training and marketing agreement with The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships (CCPPP), a Canadian not-for-profit organization. PIvotal180 will be developing and delivering a tailored PPP course  for Municipalities which will be available exclusively to CCPPP registrants

Consulting Services – SPAC

Since August of 2020, Pivotal180 has been working with Climate Real Impact Solutions, a serial issuer of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) focused on investments in businesses that can have a meaningful impact on reducing the carbon intensity of the economy. Engaged as a consultant, Pivotal180 supported the initial public offerings of two SPACs listed on the New York Stock Exchange, raising over $470 million in proceeds. Pivotal180 assisted with the identification of a target company for one of the SPACs, as well as the valuation, negotiation and execution of a Business Combination Agreement and $400 million of subscriptions for a Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”). The business combination partner is a leading electric vehicle DC fast charging network operator. Pivotal180 also helped to coordinate the proxy solicitation process, which ultimately resulted in a successful shareholder vote in late June and a re-listing on the Nasdaq in early July.

Our client is on the forefront of electric mobility, building infrastructure critical for the transition to cleaner and more sustainable forms of automotive transportation. We are proud to have provided consulting services in support of this important work.
