ESGEN Acquisition said its shareholders voted in favor of combining with Sunergy Renewables, a Florida-based provider of residential solar and energy efficiency solutions.
The business combination is expected to close “in the coming weeks.” The merged company will change its name to Zeo Energy and is expected to be listed on the Nasdaq under the new ticker symbols ZEO and ZEOWW. The announcement did not include vote tallies or mention redemptions, if any. The SPAC has not yet filed an update with the SEC, following yesterday’s vote.
The pro forma implied enterprise value of the combined company is expected to be $390 million, and proceeds are expected to be used to fund operations and growth. The deal was announced last April at a pro forma implied enterprise value of $475 million.

The purchase of the securities will be funded by Energy Spectrum Partners VIII. Read more.
