Carbon Revolution Limited ("Carbon Revolution" or the
"Company"), a Tier 1 OEM supplier and a leading global manufacturer
of lightweight advanced technology carbon fibre wheels, has
announced that the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (as amended
from time to time, the "Registration Statement") filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by Carbon
Revolution plc (formerly known as Poppetell Limited) (Irish company
number 607450) ("MergeCo") was declared effective by the SEC as of
4:30pm on September 6, 2023 (New York time) (6:30am on September 7,

As previously announced, the merger of the Company and Twin
Ridge Capital Acquisition Corp. ("Twin Ridge") (NYSE: TRCA) will be
effected by way of MergeCo acquiring the Company (via a scheme of
arrangement ("Scheme")) and Twin Ridge (via a merger ("Business
Combination")) (collectively, the "Transaction").
The declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
following the completion of the SEC's review of the Registration
Statement, permits Twin Ridge to schedule a meeting of its
shareholders to approve the Business Combination. On September 8,
2023, MergeCo filed with the SEC, and Twin Ridge commenced mailing
to its shareholders, the final proxy statement/prospectus contained
in the Registration Statement for consideration by Twin Ridge
shareholders in approving the Business Combination and related
matters at a meeting proposed to be held on September 26, 2023 (New

Redemption requests by TRCA public shareholders must be made two
business days prior to the Twin Ridge Shareholder Meeting but may
be withdrawn prior to the meeting. The maximum number of shares in
respect of which redemption rights have been exercised will be
announced to ASX once known and, following the Twin Ridge
Shareholder Meeting, the final number of shares held by Twin Ridge
public shareholders for which redemption rights have been exercised
will be announced to ASX.
The Transaction will only be completed following approval by
Twin Ridge Shareholders of the Business Combination and Carbon
Revolution shareholders of the Scheme and related capital reduction
and satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to closing in
the SID (as defined below) and Business Combination Agreement (as
described below).
The Company refers to its announcement dated September 6, 2023
relating to the approval by the Federal Court of Australia to
convene a meeting of Carbon Revolution shareholders to vote on the
