Board of Directors Recommendation
The board of directors of American Creek (the "Board"), having received a unanimous recommendation from a special committee comprised of a majority of independent directors of American Creek (the "Special Committee") and after receiving outside legal and financial advice, has unanimously determined that the Transaction is in the best interests of American Creek and is fair to the shareholders of American Creek (the "Shareholders") and other securityholders (warrantholders and optionholders) (the "Other Securityholders") and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Transaction. In making their respective determinations, the Special Committee and the Board considered, among other factors, the fairness opinion of RwE Growth Partners, Inc.
