This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration Statement No. 333-260094), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 6, 2021 by Archaea Energy Inc. (the “Registrant”) and declared effective on October 21, 2021, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission on August 24, 2022 and declared effective on August 30, 2022 (as so amended, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was filed by the Registrant to register up to 6,536,601 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), which were issuable upon the exercise of warrants, as well as the resale by the selling securityholders named therein of up to 6,536,601 warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and up to 62,287,804 shares of Class A Common Stock. This Amendment No. 2 is being filed by the Registrant to deregister any and all securities that remain unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement.

 

On December 28, 2022, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 16, 2022, by and among the Registrant, LFG Acquisition Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of the Registrant (“Opco”), BP Products North America Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Parent”), Condor RTM Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Condor RTM LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Opco Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Registrant Merger”), and Opco Merger Sub merged with and into Opco with Opco continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Opco Merger” and, together with the Registrant Merger, the “Merger”).

 

As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of the Registrant’s securities pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all of such securities, if any, as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities, and the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
