This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the prospectus dated June 6, 2022 (the “Prospectus”), which forms a part of our registration statement on Form F-1 (No. 333-264056). This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information in the Prospectus with information contained in our Report on Form 6-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2022 (the “Report”). Accordingly, we have attached the Report to this prospectus supplement.

The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate to the issuance by us of up to 13,799,948 ordinary shares, with a nominal value of € 0.12 per share (“Ordinary Shares”) of Allego N.V., a public limited liability company (naamloze vennotschap) governed by the laws of the Netherlands (“Allego”), that are issuable upon the exercise of 13,799,948 Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares, which were originally Public Warrants (as defined in the Prospectus) issued in the initial public offering of units of Spartan Acquisition Corp. III (“Spartan”) at a price of $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-fourth of one Public Warrant. See “Prospectus Summary—Recent Developments—Business Combination” in the Prospectus.

In addition, the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in the Prospectus (the “Selling Securityholders”), or their permitted transferees, of up to 68,132,943 Ordinary Shares, which includes (i) 13,700,000 Ordinary Shares that were issued in exchange for Spartan Founders Stock, originally purchased at a price of approximately $0.002 per share, upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination”), (ii) 12,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued to a limited number of qualified institutional buyers and institutional and individual accredited investors at a price of $10.00 per Ordinary Share on the closing of the Business Combination, (iii) 41,097,994 Ordinary Shares that were issued in exchange for Allego Holding Shares (as defined in the Prospectus) to E8 Investor (as defined in the Prospectus) as compensation under the Special Fees Agreement (as defined in the Prospectus), based on a value of Allego and its subsidiaries of $10.00 per share, upon the closing of the Business Combination and (iv) 1,334,949 Ordinary Shares that were issued to AP Spartan Energy Holdings III (PPW), LLC at a price of $11.50 per share on a cashless exercise basis upon its exercise of 9,360,000 Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares, which were originally Private Placement Warrants purchased at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant that were automatically converted into Warrants upon the closing of the Business Combination. See “Prospectus Summary—Recent Developments—Business Combination” in the Prospectus.

Our registration of the Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus does not mean that either we or the Selling Securityholders will offer or sell, as applicable, any of the Ordinary Shares. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. We provide more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell the Ordinary Shares in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus.

You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or amendment carefully before you invest in our securities. Our Ordinary Shares and Warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “ALLG” and “ALLG.WS,” respectively. On September 29, 2022, the last reported sale price of our Ordinary Shares on NYSE was $4.52 per share and the last reported sale price of our Warrants on NYSE was $4.52.

This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus, including any subsequent amendments or supplements thereto. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus, and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. The information in this prospectus supplement modifies and supersedes, in part, the information in the Prospectus. Any information in the Prospectus that is modified or superseded shall not be deemed to constitute a part of the Prospectus except as modified or superseded by this prospectus supplement. You should not assume that the information provided in this prospectus supplement or the Prospectus is accurate as of any date other than their respective dates. Neither the delivery of this prospectus supplement, the Prospectus nor any sale made hereunder, shall under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in our affairs since the date of this prospectus supplement, or that the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the Prospectus is correct as of any time after the date of that information.

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” under applicable federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 15 of the Prospectus.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report are forward-looking statements. Allego intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,”, “project,” “forecast,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “target” or other similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the expectations of Allego N.V. (“Allego) and its management with respect to future performance. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially, and potentially adversely, from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside Allego’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) changes adversely affecting Allego’s business, (ii) the risks associated with vulnerability to industry downturns and regional or national downturns, (iii) fluctuations in Allego’s revenue and operating results, (iv) unfavorable conditions or further disruptions in the capital and credit markets, (v) Allego’s ability to generate cash, service indebtedness and incur additional indebtedness, (vi) competition from existing and new competitors, (vii) the growth of the electric vehicle market, (viii) Allego’s ability to integrate any businesses it may acquire, (ix) Allego’s ability to recruit and retain experienced personnel, (x) risks related to legal proceedings or claims, including liability claims, (xi) Allego’s dependence on third-party contractors to provide various services, (xii) Allego’s ability to obtain additional capital on commercially reasonable terms, (xiii) the impact of COVID-19, including COVID-19 related supply chain disruptions and expense increases, (xiv) general economic or political conditions, including the armed conflict in Ukraine and increases in the cost of electricity and other energy sources and (xv) other factors detailed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” of Allego’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-264056) and in Allego’s other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. If any of these risks materialize or Allego’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Allego presently does not know or that Allego currently believes are immaterial that could also cause

actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Allego’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this report. Allego anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Allego’s assessments to change. However, while Allego may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Allego specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, unless required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Allego’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

1.	Reporting entity

Allego N.V. (“Allego” or “the Company”), a continuation of the former Allego Holding B.V. (“Allego Holding”) as detailed below, was incorporated as a Dutch private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) on June 3, 2021 under the laws of the Netherlands under the name of Athena Pubco B.V.

On March 16, 2022, Athena Pubco B.V. changed its legal form from a private limited liability company to a public limited liability company (naamloze venootschap), changed its name to Allego N.V. and entered into the Deed of Conversion containing the Articles of Association of Allego N.V. Allego Holding consummated the previously announced business combination (“the SPAC Transaction”) with Spartan Acquisition Corp. III (“Spartan”) pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement (“BCA”) and became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).The new public company — Allego N.V. — trades under the Allego name with the ticker “ALLG”. The Company’s registered seat and head office are in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Its head office is located at Westervoortsedijk 73 KB, 6827 AV in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The Company is registered with the Dutch Trade Register under number 82985537.

The Company’s main activity is enabling electrification through designing, building and the operation of charging solutions for electric vehicles in Europe. The Company services corporate customers with the long-term operation of comprehensive charging solutions. The Company’s goal is to offer the best EV charging experience with end-to-end charging solutions through different charging products (e.g. slow, fast, ultra-fast charging) in combination with one EV Cloud platform and additional service support. Upon completion of the BCA, Allego N.V. underwent a capital restructuring process which resulted in additional shares being issued to Madeleine Charging B.V., an external consulting firm, the PIPE Investors and former Spartan shareholders. The majority of the Allego N.V. shares are held by Madeleine Charging B.V. (“Madeleine”) which is an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Meridiam SAS (“Meridiam”) – a global investor and asset manager based in Paris, France. Meridiam specializes in the development, financing and long-term management of sustainable public infrastructure in the mobility, energy transition and social infrastructure sectors.

These financial statements are the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the group consisting of Allego N.V. and its subsidiaries (jointly referred to as the “Group” or “Allego Group”). Further disclosure on why the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements include comparative information for transactions occurring during the six months ended June 30, 2021, despite the Company only being incorporated on June 3, 2021, is provided in Note 2 and Note 3.

2.	Basis of preparation and changes to the Group’s accounting policies

2.1

Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and are unaudited.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Please note that with the Group we mean the consolidated financial statements of Allego Holding as explained below.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated. All amounts disclosed in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros (€), unless otherwise indicated.

The Company cannot be considered a separate entity acting in its own right for the period prior to the completion of the BCA, and the economic substance of its incorporation and the holding of the shares of Allego Holding

constitutes a capital reorganization of the Group subsequent to the completion of the BCA and to aid with integrating new investors. Consequently, management has concluded that Allego should recognize in its consolidated financial statements the net assets of Allego Holding and subsidiaries as per their preceding carrying amounts, and that comparative information should be represented, as the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are a continuation of those of Allego Holding and its subsidiaries.

Therefore, the comparable (interim condensed) consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and the current period from January 1, 2022, until March 16, 2022, represent the (interim condensed) consolidated financial statements of Allego Holding and its subsidiaries.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Executive Board and were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Executive Board on September 30, 2022.

2.2

Going concern assumption and financial position

The Group’s scale of operations

The Group’s strategy requires significant capital expenditures, as well as investments in building the Group’s organization aimed at increasing the scale of its operations. Start-up losses are inherently associated with the business as charging points need to become known to users. As a result, the Group incurred losses during the first years of its operations and expects to continue to incur losses in the next eighteen months as of June 30, 2022. Therefore, the Group relies heavily on financing from its existing shareholders and banks to finance its operations and scale-up of the business. Further envisioned growth — in line with the Group’s strategy — will require additional significant investments.

Financial position of the Group

As of June 30, 2022, the losses incurred during the first years of its operations were offset by equity contributions from 2022 and resulted in a positive equity of €97,590 thousand (December 31, 2021: negative €76,652 thousand) and cash and cash equivalents of €29,775 thousand (December 31, 2021: €24,652 thousand). The Group’s operations have been funded by borrowings from the Company’s shareholders and banks, as well as the proceeds from the SPAC Transaction. In the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2022, the carrying value of the borrowings amounts to €114,556 thousand (December 31, 2021: €213,128 thousand).

Impact of COVID-19

The results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 have not been impacted by COVID-19 to the same extent as previous periods. As COVID-19 lockdown measures eased, traffic by EV-drivers and consumed energy levels increased. The impact on the Group’s charging revenues correlates with these trends. Charging revenue recovered throughout the first half-year of 2022 compared to the 2021 level.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Group did not receive COVID-19 related government support or any COVID-19 related rent concessions.

Impact of increasing energy prices

The Group provides electricity directly on its own chargers and needs to procure this energy from the power markets in Europe. The price of electricity is highly volatile and has direct impact on the gross margin of the Group’s charging revenue. The Group has developed an energy platform to be able to diversify its supply from different sources from utilities, suppliers, power market directly and generating renewable assets. As a result of

the war in Ukraine the price of gas has increased sharply, thereby increasing the demand on the European power markets with corresponding constraints in supply. This supply and demand imbalance has recently caused record increases in the price of electricity in Europe. This volatility might put pressure on the Group’s results, limit the Group’s ability to deliver on its strategy and might result in more significant cash outflows than expected. The mitigating actions the Group takes with electricity price increases at its charging stations is that the Group secures long-term power purchase agreements with renewable power on multi-years terms and fixed price energy contracts.

Financing

On May 27, 2019, the Group entered into a senior debt bank facility (“the facility”), totaling €120 million, with Société Générale and KommunalKredit (“the lenders”). During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Group completed three drawdowns on the facility for a total amount of €44,315 thousand. As a result of these drawdowns, the Group has utilized the maximum amount of credit as allowed under the facility as of December 2, 2021. The facility, which will expire in May 2026, includes loan covenants based on increasing performance criteria related to EBITDA, revenue and interest expenses determined in accordance with Dutch GAAP. As the Group recently transitioned to IFRS, the loan covenants may be revisited with the lenders as per the facility agreement.

For all reporting periods presented, the Group met its covenants that were determined in accordance with Dutch GAAP and as disclosed in Note 14 Borrowings. The Group has analyzed the covenants based on its forecasted period of 12 months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and expects to continue to meet the increasing performance criteria outlined in the prevailing loan covenants. The Group notes that there is uncertainty with achieving its forecast and therefore compliance with the covenants in the future as there is limited headroom. In case of a breach and the borrowings become on-demand the Group expects to have access to mitigating actions by negotiating waivers based on discussions with the banks and historical results of obtaining waivers and the good relationships with the banks. In addition, on July 28, 2022, the Group expanded its existing €120 million senior debt facility by an additional €50 million through an accordion feature with Société Générale and KommunalKredit Austria (KA). Additionally, the Group has received a waiver such that the Group is no longer required to pledge an amount of bank balances. In the original agreement, these bank balances were required to be pledged to secure the payment of interest and commitment fees. Consequently, these bank balances are at the free disposal of the Group. As at June 30, 2022, the amount of pledged bank balances amounted to €13 million. Under the original terms the senior debt facility expires in May 2026. However, the Group is seeking a new expanded financing package.

In addition, the Company’s previous sole shareholder had issued loans to the Group. The principal and accrued interest of the shareholder loans were converted to equity as part of the completion of the BCA on March 16, 2022. A new shareholder loan was recognized in 2022 as a result of the consolidation of Mega-E following the related purchase option becoming substantive as a result of the SPAC Transaction.

The Group completed the SPAC Transaction on March 16, 2022. The completion of the merger yielded proceeds of €146 million. These proceeds were received in exchange for Allego shares that were issued with respect to the Private Investment in Public Entity (“PIPE”) offering and cash held in trust by Spartan after redemptions. The Group continues to seek additional funding solutions to accelerate future growth and expansion.

Refer to Note 14 for information on the terms and conditions of the senior debt bank facility and the shareholder loans and for information on loan covenants related to the senior debt bank facility.

Liquidity forecasts

and operating expenses budget. Cash flows are monitored closely, and the Group invests in new stations, chargers and grid connections only if the Group has secured financing for such investments. These forecasts reflect potential scenarios and management plans and are dependent on securing significant contracts and related revenues. The liquidity forecasts incorporate any (new) potential impact from the COVID-19 outbreak and are regularly updated, given the rapidly evolving nature and uncertain broader consequences of the pandemic.

The Group requires additional financing for additional development activities and operations. Management plans to finance these investments and costs with the drawdowns on its senior debt facility that were completed during the second half-year of 2021, and with the proceeds from the SPAC Transaction that was completed in the first quarter of 2022.

On March 16, 2022, the Company consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the BCA and became a publicly traded company on the NYSE through the incorporation of Allego N.V. As a result of the merger, the Group received €146 million ($161 million³) of gross proceeds⁴. Refer to Note 4 for more details on the SPAC Transaction. As of June 30, 2022, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of €29,775 thousand.

Since the completion of the SPAC transaction, the Group has funded further development activities and its operations. On June 7, 2022, the Group entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of MOMA, an unlisted software company. On June 7, 2022, the Group paid 50% of the purchase price of €60,000 thousand. On July 29, 2022, the Group has settled the second installment of €30,000 thousand, representing the remaining 50% of the total purchase price consideration payable for the acquisition in accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement. On July 27, 2022, the Group entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire 51% of the share capital of Mega-E for a purchase consideration for the shares of €4,823 thousand and €11,936 thousand for the shareholder loan receivable between Meridiam and Mega-E. On July 29, 2022, the Group has settled the above-mentioned obligations by transferring an amount of €16,759 thousand with respect to the acquisition of Mega-E, representing the purchase consideration for the shares and the settlement of the shareholder loan between Meridiam and Mega-E. The Group signed a letter of intent to acquire the remaining 49% which is expected to be acquired before December 31, 2022. These acquisitions were financed by the proceeds from the SPAC transaction, the extension of the existing senior debt facility and a release of a commitment to maintain a cash amount.

Currently, no commitments exist for further growth investments. The Group will be required to seek additional financing to continue to execute its growth strategy and business plan in the long-term. The realization of such financing is inherently uncertain. Securing additional funding — by raising additional equity or debt financing — is important for the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in the long-term. However, there is no assurance that the Group will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

The Group expects to be able to meet its financing requirements in the short-term using the additional financing received on its existing senior debt bank facility that were completed during the second half-year of 2022 and its cash flows from operations in line with its liquidity forecasts. In the long-term, the Group expects to be able to secure its financing requirements through additional external bank financing and a potential new capital raise. Therefore, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Group operates on a going concern basis.

2.3

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated annual financial statements for the

³	Translated at the EUR/USD exchange rate as at March 16, 2022.

⁴	Gross proceeds: not inclusive of transaction expenses.

year ended December 31, 2021, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2022 (refer to Note 2.4), and the adoption of new accounting policies as indicated in this note.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, general and administrative expenses have been restated to reflect the recognition of an expense for the April 2021 modification of the share-based payments awards to an external consulting firm. The correction of these errors resulted in an additional share-based payment expense of €17,113 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Please refer to the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the three years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for more details around the correction of the error.

Certain amounts in prior reporting periods have been reclassified to conform to the current reporting period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on loss for the year, shareholders’ equity or loss per share.

2.3.1 Business combinations

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business as per IFRS 3 and control is transferred to the Group. To determine whether a particular set of activities and assets is a business, the Company assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process and whether outputs can be produced.

The cost of an acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Any contingent or deferred consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent or deferred consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured, and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent or deferred consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the consideration are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

In the event of an asset acquisition, the Company applies the guidance prescribed by IFRS 3 and allocates the cost of the transaction to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values at the date of purchase with no goodwill recognized.

The Group allocated the transaction price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For any identifiable asset or liability initially measured at an amount other than cost, the Group initially measures that asset or liability at the amount specified in the applicable IFRS Standard. The Group then allocates the residual transaction price to the remaining identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values at the date of the acquisition.

2.3.2 Goodwill

In a business combination, goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests and the fair value of any previously interest held over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill impairment testing is performed annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate possible impairment. The carrying amount of goodwill is compared with the recoverable amount which is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less cost to sell.

2.3.3 Share-based payments

2.3.3.1

Second Special Fees Agreement

A share-based payment arrangement is provided to an external consulting firm via a Second Special Fees Agreement (compared to the first Special Fees Agreement entered into in December 2020). Information relating to this agreement which was originally between the Company’s immediate parent entity — Madeleine — and the consulting firm is set out in Note 8.2. The fair value of the share-based payment arrangement granted under the Second Special Fees Agreement is recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in retained earnings as long as the agreement remained in place between Madeleine and the consulting firm. The Second Special Fees Agreement was novated from Madeleine to the Company during the reporting period and as a result, the fair value of the share-based payment arrangement granted under the Second Special Fees Agreement is recognized as an expense, with corresponding movements in the provision recognized as part of the novation. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, including market performance conditions. The fair value excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.

IFRS 2 requires the total expense to be recognized over the vesting periods, which are the periods over which all of the specified service and non-market vesting conditions are to be satisfied. For the Second Special Fees Arrangement the expenses are recognized over the service periods (from the grant date until each forecasted equity injection, refer to section 3.1.6). The Group shall revise its estimate of the length of the vesting periods, if necessary, if subsequent information indicates that the length of the vesting period differs from previous estimates. This may result in the reversal of expenses if the estimated vesting periods are extended.

2.3.3.2

Management Incentive Plan

The share-based payment arrangement in place related to the Management Incentive Plan qualifies as an equity settled share-based payment in accordance with IFRS 2. As mentioned in Note 8.3, as part of Allego´s Management Incentive Plan some key management employees were granted options, with performance vesting criteria attached to some of these options.

The grant date fair value of grant options (options subject to the expiry of a blocking period of 18 months) is recognized as an operating expense with a corresponding increase in retained earnings. The fair value is determined at the grant date and the total expense is recognized immediately since the participants are not required to complete a specified period of service period before becoming unconditionally entitled to these equity instruments.

The grant date fair value of the performance options (options subject to predefined performance conditions and the expiry of the blocking period) is recognized as an operating expense with a corresponding increase in retained earnings. The fair value is determined at the grant date and the total expense is recognized over the vesting period. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises the expense for the services received based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. The impact is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss with the corresponding increase in retained earnings.

The grant options and performance options do not include any market conditions or non-vesting conditions that should be included in their fair value. The grant date fair value remains the same over time.

2.4

Revenue recognition

Revenue from consulting services

The Group recognizes revenue from providing consulting services. Revenue from providing consulting services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.

Revenue is recognized over time using the input variable method as a measure of progress.

In the case of fixed-price contracts, the customer pays the fixed amount based on a payment schedule. If the services rendered by the Group exceed the payments, a contract asset is recognized. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognized.

2.5

Financial instruments

Financial assets

Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

•

those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income with recycling of cumulative gains and losses – debt instruments (“FVOCI – debt instruments”);

•

those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition – equity instruments (“FVOCI – equity instruments”);

•

those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”); and

•

those to be measured at amortized cost.

Subsequent measurement: Investments in equity securities

The Group measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to the consolidated statement of profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

The Group’s investments in equity securities relate to an investment in a private company that provides distributed demand response products, which enable households to achieve energy savings. The Group has elected to present fair value gains and losses related to this equity investment in OCI, as investing in (equity) securities is not the main activity of the Group.

2.6

New accounting standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

A number of amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these amended standards.

3.	Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments

The preparation of the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The reported amounts that result from making estimates and assumptions, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Group’s accounting policies.

The significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments applied in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for new estimates and assumptions as indicated below.

3.1

Judgments

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.1.1 Business Combination Agreement (Spartan Merger)

The merger with Spartan is not within the scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations as Spartan does not meet the definition of a business as per IFRS 3. In accordance with an agenda decision of the IFRS Interpretations Committee, the transaction is in scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment and was accounted for as a recapitalization in which Allego issued shares in exchange for the net assets of Spartan.

The excess of fair value of Allego shares issued over the fair value of Spartan’s identifiable net assets was treated as costs for the service of obtaining a listing and expensed during the reporting period in which the transaction occurred.

Additionally, Allego shares were issued with respect to the PIPE offering. Allego received a total of €136 million in cash and cash equivalents in return for issuing 15,000,000 common shares with a nominal value of €0.12 per share. The difference between the value of the proceeds on the date of the merger and the nominal value of the shares has been accounted for as share premium.

Furthermore, Allego shares were issued to Madeleine and an external consulting firm based on their relative shareholding percentage in Allego Holding immediately before the capital reorganization. This increase in share capital has been offset by a reduction in share premium of the same amount.

3.1.2 Warrants

Each Public and Private Warrant originally issued by Spartan to its public shareholders and its sponsors were converted on the closing date of the SPAC Transaction, into a right to acquire one ordinary share of Allego on the same terms as were in effect immediately prior to the closing date.

On the closing date of the BCA, Allego assumed the Warrants to registered holders of Spartan’s Public and Private Warrants. Allego assumed and continues to hold these warrants on the same terms as before.

According to management’s assessment, both the Public and Private Warrants fall within the scope of IAS 32 and have been classified as a current derivative financial liability (based on the warrants being exercisable 30 days after the closing date of the BCA). In accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, the warrant derivatives that have been classified as financial liabilities shall be measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value to be recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. For further details see Note 15.

3.1.3 Consolidation of Mega-E

On July 28, 2021, the Allego Group and Meridiam EM SAS — an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Meridiam SAS, the Company’s then ultimate parent — entered into a call option (the “Mega-E Option”) agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of Mega-E Charging B.V. (“Mega-E”). The Group paid no consideration for the option. The purchase price under the option amounts to €9,456 thousand in accordance with the Mega-E Option agreement. The call option was exercisable by the Group at the earliest on January 15, 2022, and within the six-month period thereafter.

Until March 16, 2022, the exercise of the call option by the Allego Group was conditioned upon completion of the SPAC Transaction. On March 16, 2022, the Allego Group consummated the SPAC Transaction, thereby becoming able to exercise its call option right pursuant to the terms of the MEGA-E Option agreement. Therefore, the Group reassessed its control assessment over Mega-E.

The call option provided the Group with potential voting rights, which are considered substantive as of March 16, 2022 (being the “acquisition date”), because as of that date all conditions under the call option agreement were met and the Group was able to exercise its rights thereunder. The Group concluded that these potential voting rights provided the Group with control over Mega-E. The acquisition of Mega-E by the Group is not considered to be a business combination within the scope of IFRS 3 as Mega-E does not meet the definition of a business as it does not contain any substantive processes. The acquisition of Mega-E has therefore been accounted for as an asset acquisition in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

3.1.4 Acquisition of MOMA

On June 7, 2022, the Group acquired shares representing 100% of the share capital of Modélisation, Mesures et Applications S.A. (“MOMA”)—an unlisted software company based in France and current service provider for the Group’s EV Cloud platform. This constitutes a Business Combination (specifically referred to as the “MOMA acquisition”) as defined in terms of IFRS 3 Business Combinations, thus the transaction has been accounted for by the Allego Group using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS 3. The Group has considered the following main judgements:

Purchase price allocation

Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries acquired are included at their fair value at the acquisition date. Only the investment in equity securities acquired at acquisition date had a fair value that differed significantly from its carrying value (refer to Note 12 and Note 19 for further details). Furthermore, there were no intangible assets acquired at the acquisition date. The initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete at the time that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue, because not all required information has been obtained and the identification and valuation procedures of the assets and liabilities are currently in process.

Goodwill

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. An impairment assessment is performed at least once annually, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, which includes evaluating qualitative and quantitative factors to assess the likelihood of an impairment. Such impairment assessments require management to make significant estimates and assumptions.

Acquisition-related expenses

Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and have been expensed as incurred in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

3.1.5 Accounting for the First Special Fees Agreement

On December 16, 2020 (‘the First Special Fees Agreement grant date’), the Company’s immediate parent entity — Madeleine — entered into a First Special Fees Agreement (the “First Agreement”), pursuant to which an external consulting firm provided services to Madeleine and the Group relating to a contemplated share transaction (a “Liquidity Event”). As consideration for these services, the consulting firm is entitled to fees in cash and in shares based on the value of the Company in relation to a future Liquidity Event, payable by Madeleine.

Management assessed whether the Group has received services under the First Agreement that requires the First Agreement to be accounted for in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The First Agreement was entered into by Madeleine and the consulting firm reports to the board of directors of Madeleine. The consulting services provided related to a Liquidity Event, but also to strategic and operational advice. The Group has benefited from these services and might also benefit from a Liquidity Event. Although the Group does not have the obligation to settle the obligation under the First Agreement, management believes that the services provided

under the First Agreement benefit the Group. Therefore, the First Agreement is in scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment from the perspective of the Group and accounted for in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

The Group has also assessed that the total fair value of the grant should be recognized between the grant date and the estimated date of the Liquidity Event as the First Agreement compensates the external consulting firm for future services and creates a significant incentive for the external consulting firm to continue to provide services until a Liquidity Event takes place. The First Agreement therefore includes an implicit future service period over which the share-based payment expenses should be recognized.

In January 2021, the First Agreement was amended whereby certain definitions, including the definition of what entails a Liquidity Event, were changed. Another amendment in April 2021, provides the external consulting firm with the right to subscribe for additional shares being equal to 5% of the share capital (after completion of the listing) of the Company and the First Agreement was extended until December 31, 2028. Management assessed and reflected these changes by re-estimating the service period and the total fair value of the grant.

On July 28, 2021, the parties to the BCA agreed that the cash payments to be made by Meridiam under the First Agreement will be recharged to the Company or its legal successor. However, this repayment agreement does not result in an obligation for the Company to settle the First Agreement. Therefore, this does not change the accounting treatment of the First Agreement in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Refer to Note 8.1 for further details on the accounting for the Agreement.

3.1.6 Accounting for the Second Special Fees Agreement

On February 25, 2022 (‘the Second Special Fees Agreement grant date’), the Company’s then immediate parent entity — Madeleine — entered into a Second Special Fees Agreement (the “Second Agreement”), with the same external consulting firm as for the First Agreement described above. The purpose of this Second Agreement is to compensate the external consulting firm for their continuous strategic and operational advice, as well as support with regards to the Group’s capital raising efforts in the near future. The Agreement expires on the earlier of June 30, 2025, and the date on which Madeleine no longer holds any equity security in the Company. As consideration for the Second Agreement, the external consulting firm is entitled to receive cash compensation based on the value of the Group in connection with any new injection of equity, whether in cash or in kind, in any entity of the Group subsequent to the completion of the SPAC Transaction (the “Equity Injection(s)”).

Management assessed whether the Group has received services under the Second Agreement that requires the Second Agreement to be accounted for in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The Second Agreement was entered into by Madeleine and the consulting firm reports to the board of directors of Madeleine. The consulting services provided related to the Equity Injections, but also to strategic and operational advice. The Group has benefited from these services and might also benefit from Equity Injections. Although the Group does not have the obligation to settle the obligation under the Second Agreement, management believes that the services provided under the Second Agreement benefit the Group. Therefore, the Second Agreement is in scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment from the perspective of the Group and accounted for in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

The Group has also assessed that the total fair value of the grant should be recognized between the grant date and the estimated dates of the Equity Injections as the Second Agreement compensates the external consulting firm for future services and creates a significant incentive for the external consulting firm to continue to provide services until the Equity Injections takes place. The Second Agreement therefore includes an implicit future service period over which the share-based payment expenses should be recognized.

On March 10, 2022, the Second Agreement was amended to modify the formula of the relevant percentage used in the determination of the fees payable for equity injections subsequent to the first Equity Injection. Management assessed and concluded these changes had no impact to the fair value of the grant.

On April 20, 2022, the Second Agreement was novated from Madeleine to Allego (the “Novation”), all the other terms of the Second Agreement remaining the same. As a result of the Novation, the Group has now the obligation, instead of Madeleine, to settle the share-based payment arrangement with the consulting firm. The Second Agreement’s classification therefore changed to a cash-settled share-based payment arrangement from the Novation date.

Refer to Note 8.2 for further details on the accounting for the Agreement.

3.1.7 Accounting for the Management Incentive Plan

In March 2022, the Group established the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”), which includes two types of options that can be issued to the key management personnel: the grant options and the performance options. The options issued under the plan are classified as equity-settled share-based payment transactions, as the settlement with the participants shall be made using the company’s shares, as such they fall in scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment from the perspective of the Group and accounted for in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

The issued options are recognized at fair value as an operating expense with the corresponding increase in retained earnings, over the vesting period being the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are satisfied. For both options the service period is concluded to start on March 17, 2022 (the date at which the Group became a listed entity) as at that date there was a valid expectation of an award and a corresponding obligation by the Group. At March 17, 2022 there was no legally enforceable arrangement which was completed on May 14, 2022 which is the grant date. For the grant options the vesting date is the grant date while the expenses are recognized between the start of the service period and the vesting date. The performance options are recognized over the relevant service period, (starting on March 17, 2022), being the period to which the bonus relates and the vesting period of the shares. The number of shares expected to vest is estimated based on the non-market vesting conditions. For the details of fair value assessment we refer to Note 8.3.

At the end of each period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in operating expenses, with a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings.

When the options are exercised, the Group transfers the appropriate number of shares to the employee. The proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited directly to equity. Where options are forfeited due to a failure by the employee to satisfy the service conditions, any expenses previously recognized in relation to such shares are reversed effective from the date of the forfeiture.

It is possible for the Group to net settle the options for (i) withholding taxes and (ii) the exercise price. This will result in classification of all the options as equity-settled since IFRS 2 includes an exception to the general principles for classification as cash-settled when an employer withholds awards due to a mandatory requirement to settle a tax exposure on behalf of an employee which is applicable to the Group.

Refer to Note 8.3 for further details on the accounting for the MIP.

3.2

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within future periods, are described below.

The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

3.2.1 Valuation of purchase options to acquire MOMA and Mega-E

The fair value of the purchase options recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active stock markets. Their fair value is therefore measured using an option pricing model, i.e. Black-Scholes pricing model. The inputs to this model are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing the fair value. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as the market value of the underlying assets (i.e. spot price per share) and volatility. Changes in assumptions relating to these factors could affect the reported fair value of the purchase options.

Due to the exercise of the MOMA options and the consolidation of Mega-E as of June 30, 2022, these options are not recognized on the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

The assumptions and model used for estimating the fair value of the purchase options are disclosed in Note 19.

3.2.2 Valuation of share-based payment awards

For the measurement of the fair value of equity-settled transactions with an external consulting firm under the First Agreement at the grant date (and subsequent measurement dates to determine the fair value of consulting services received, for the portion of share-payment expenses that related to compensation for external consulting services), the Group used a valuation model which takes into account how the fees payable in cash and equity instrument depended on the equity value at the time of a future Liquidity Event.

For the measurement of the fair value of equity-settled transactions with an external consulting firm under the Second Agreement at the grant date (and subsequent measurement dates until the novation of the Second Agreement to determine the fair value of consulting services received, for the portion of share-payment expenses that relates to compensation for external consulting services) and at the novation date, the Group uses a valuation model which takes into account how the fees payable in cash will depend on the equity value following future Equity Injection events. The same valuation model is used for the measurement of the fair value of cash-settled transactions with an external consulting firm under the Second Agreement for measurement dates subsequent to the novation of the Second Agreement.

As the exercise price applicable to the options is negligible, no specific option-pricing models are used by the Company and the fair value of options granted under the Company’s management incentive plan is determined by reference to the fair value of the Company’s share at the grant date, excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (e.g. operational EBITDA, financing targets, compliance and reporting, engagement with investors and remaining an employee of the company over a specified time period). The options do not include any market conditions or non-vesting conditions that should be included in the fair value at recognition.

The assumptions and model used for estimating the fair value for share-based payment transactions under the Agreement are disclosed in Note 8.

3.2.3 Valuation of warrant liabilities

Public and Private Warrants originally issued by Spartan to its public shareholders and its sponsors were converted on the closing date of the BCA into a right to acquire one ordinary share of the Company on substantially the same terms as were in effect immediately prior to the closing date (see Note 4).

On the closing date of the BCA (March 17, 2022), the Company issued Warrants to registered holders of Spartan’s Public and Private Warrants in exchange for the originally issued Warrants. The Company assumed and continues to hold these warrants on the same terms as before (unless the options were exercised during the period).

According to management’s assessment, both the Public and Private Warrants fall within the scope of IAS 32 and have been classified as a derivative financial liability. In accordance with IFRS 9, derivatives that are classified as financial liabilities shall be measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value to be recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

The Public Warrants and Private Warrants qualified for the level 3 category in the fair value hierarchy at the time of their issuance due to the fact that they were not traded in an active market at the time and their fair value was determined using valuation techniques which use unobservable inputs that were significant to the fair value. As at June 30, 2022, the warrants qualify for the level 1 category in the fair value hierarchy due to the fact that their fair value is determined based on quoted market inputs

Fair value valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding the measurement of the Public and Private warrant derivative liabilities. The warrants qualified for the level 3 category in the fair value hierarchy at the time of their issuance due to the fact that they were not traded in an active market at the time and their fair value was determined using a binomial tree framework. As at June 30, 2022, the warrants qualify for the level 1 category in the fair value hierarchy due to the fact that their fair value is determined based on quoted market inputs. On April 15, 2022, the Private Warrants were exercised with the fair value on that date being determined based on quoted market inputs such as the spot price per share.

For further details regarding the inputs and assumptions inherent in the warrants’ valuation models used refer to Note 19.

4.	Business combinations and capital reorganization

Merger between Allego Holding B.V. and Spartan Acquisition Corp. III (“the SPAC Transaction”)

On July 28, 2021, Allego Holding and Spartan signed a BCA. Prior to the SPAC Transaction, Spartan was listed on the NYSE in the United States (NYSE: SPAQ).

In connection with the merger, Athena Pubco B.V. — a private limited liability parent company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) under Dutch law — was incorporated by Madeleine (the Company’s immediate parent entity) on June 3, 2021. This newly incorporated entity acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Allego Holding and Spartan. As a result of the merger, Spartan ceased to exist. The Group received €146 million ($161 million⁵) of gross proceeds⁶ from a combination of a PIPE offering of €136 million ($150 million⁵) at €9.07 ($10.00⁵) per share, along with €10 million ($11 million⁵) of cash held in trust by Spartan after redemptions. Meridiam — the existing shareholder of the Company — rolled 100% of its equity and, together with management and former advisors, retained 82% of the combined entity.

On March 9, 2022, Spartan convened a special meeting of stockholders (“the Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, Spartan’s stockholders approved the business combination proposal.

⁵	Translated at the EUR/USD exchange rate as at March 16, 2022.

⁶	Gross proceeds: not inclusive of transaction expenses.

On March 16, 2022 (“the closing date”), the following transactions occurred pursuant to the terms of the BCA:

•

Athena Pubco B.V. changed its legal form from a private limited liability company to a public limited liability company (naamloze venootschap), changed its name to Allego N.V. and entered into the Deed of Conversion containing the Articles of Association of Allego N.V

•

The Group’s shareholder loans of €101,933 thousand were converted into equity.

•

The Company consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the terms of the BCA and became a publicly traded company on the NYSE.

On March 17, 2022, trading in the new public company commenced on the NYSE. The new public company — Allego N.V. — trades under the Allego name under the ticker symbol “ALLG”.

The fair value of Spartan’s net assets at the closing date amounted to negative €71,117 thousand, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of €10,079 thousand, receivable balances of €5,185 thousand, warrant liabilities of €42,253 thousand and transaction costs liabilities of €44,128 thousand.

The fair value of the Company’s shares exchanged in the transaction to Spartan amounts to €88,190 thousand, resulting in a difference with the net assets of Spartan of €159,306 thousand. The difference is considered as an expense and has been recognized in general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit and loss of the Group at the closing date, representing the costs of service in respect of the stock exchange listing for Spartan’s shares.

Treatment of transaction costs

The total costs incurred in relation to the SPAC Transaction were analyzed to determine which were directly attributed to the issuance of new shares and therefore are to be deducted from equity directly instead of being recognized in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Transaction costs incurred of € nil (June 30, 2021: €532 thousand) were directly attributable to the issuance of new shares and have been deducted from share premium. Transaction costs incurred of €7,190 thousand (June 30, 2021: €4,643 thousand) were not directly attributable to the issuance of new shares. These transaction costs have been recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, within general and administrative expenses.

Impact of the SPAC Transaction on loss per share

Upon the completion of the SPAC Transaction the already existing 124 shares in Allego Holding were exchanged for 235,935,061 shares with no cash contribution being made. As such, the exchange ratio used at March 16, 2022, has been deemed to be 1,902,702.

The contribution in kind of Spartan shares modified the number of ordinary shares with a change in resources (the net assets of Spartan are new in the Allego Group and are considered a change in resources). Therefore, such new shares would impact the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding from March 16, 2022.

Consequently, the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS for the prior periods is as follows:


	For the six months ended June 30, 2021
Shares for basic EPS Allego Holding		100
Exchange ratio		1,902,702
Adjusted number of shares		190,270,210

Acquisition of Mega-E (asset acquisition)

On March 16, 2022, the Group consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the terms of the BCA and became a publicly traded company on the NYSE, thereby becoming been able to exercise its call option right to acquire Mega-E, a company whose main activity relates to operating charging points for vehicles in Europe as well as holding and financing its subsidiaries and associated entities, pursuant to the terms of the call option agreement since that date. The call option provided the Group with potential voting rights which are considered substantive as of March 16, 2022, the date when all conditions outlined in the call option agreement were met.

The Group has a long-standing pre-existing relationship with Mega-E, in which the parties have jointly entered into several EPC and O&M contracts to construct and operate charging stations across Europe. The acquisition of Mega-E brings critical access to new customers within the Group, as well as the creation of numerous operational synergies in the delivering EPC and O&M contracts to existing customers.

The Group has an option to pay €9,456 thousand in exchange of Mega-E, however, as of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements the consideration is yet to be paid and a deferred consideration liability has been recognized in the Group’s (interim condensed) consolidated financial statements within other current financial liabilities.

As described in Note 3, the transaction has been accounted for as an acquisition of assets due to Mega-E not meeting the definition of a business under IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

The assets and liabilities recognized as a result of the acquisition on March 16, 2022 are as follows:


(in €‘000)	Fair value
Property, plant and equipment		88,736
Right-of-use assets		1,998
Lease liabilities		(1,998	)
Borrowings (current)		(23,398	)
Other working capital (excl. cash and cash equivalents)		943
Cash and cash equivalents		(874	)
Net identifiable assets acquired		65,407
Less: non-controlling interest		(1,266	)
Net assets acquired		64,141

Property, plant and equipment

The fair value of property, plant and equipment was determined primarily through the replacement cost method, which requires an estimation of the physical, functional and economic obsolescence of the related assets. A market approach, which requires the comparison of the subject assets to transactions involving comparable assets, was applied to determine the preliminary fair value of land.

Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets

The acquired lease liability was measured using the present value of the remaining lease payments at the acquisition date. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities and adjusted to reflect the terms of certain leases relative to market terms.

Non-controlling interest

The Group has chosen to recognize the non-controlling interest at its fair value for this acquisition. Mega-E Charging B.V. has 100% interest in its subsidiaries, except for GreenToWheel SAS (“GreenToWheel”) in which

it holds an interest of 80%, resulting hence in a 20% Non-controlling Interest (“NCI”). The fair value of the non-controlling interest in GreenToWheel has been determined based on the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.

Acquisition of MOMA (business combination)

On March 26, 2021, the Group entered into two option agreements, pursuant to which the Group was entitled to purchase shares representing 8.50% of the share capital (on a fully diluted basis) of MOMA, a service provider for the Group’s EV Cloud platform — and 100% of a third-party company, which held 42.0% of the share capital of MOMA. The provisions of the shareholder’s agreement of MOMA include drag-along rights. Consequently, the Group was required to acquire the remaining 49.50% of the share capital of MOMA upon exercising its option rights, under similar terms and conditions as the original option agreements. On September 28, 2021, the Group extended the option agreements under similar terms and conditions as the original option agreements.

On April 26, 2022, the Group exercised its Second Option Right and purchased the Direct MOMA Shares after having obtained approval to exercise the Drag Right, subject to, inter alia, the simultaneous signing and closing of the acquisition of the Indirect MOMA Shares. Pursuant to the exercise of the First and Second Option Rights, on June 7, 2022, the Group closed two separate share and sale purchase agreements (the “Agreements”) to acquire shares representing 100% of the share capital of MOMA in a business combination agreement (the “MOMA Business Combination”).

On June 7, 2022, the transfer of 160 thousand ordinary shares representing 100% of the issued share capital of MOMA was completed. On the same date, a cash payment of €30 million being an amount of 50% of the total purchase price consideration for the MOMA acquisition, was paid into the respective bank accounts of the selling shareholders (the “First Installment”). After closing, and ultimately before the July 31, 2022, the remaining 50% of the total purchase price consideration becomes payable (the “Second Installment”) in accordance with the terms of the Agreements. The future payment of the second instalment of the total purchase consideration is recognized a liability and has been accounted for by the Group within other financial liabilities. The fair value of the option was nil on June 7, 2022, the exercise date of the option. For further details see Note 16 and Note 23.

The primary reason for the business combination is for the Group to bring the critical support provided by MOMA for its EV Cloud platform within its own operations. Additionally, the acquisition of MOMA brings critical access to new customers and new markets as well as services within the Group, to better meet the needs of its customers. The financial results of MOMA have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (June 7, 2022).


(in €‘000)	Fair value
Property, plant and equipment		199
Right-of-use assets		2,239
Other financial assets (non-current)		41,983
Trade and other receivables		4,974
Cash and cash equivalents		1,252
Prepayments		6
Contingent liability		(225	)
Deferred tax liabilities		(1,272	)
Lease liabilities		(2,239	)
Trade and other payables		(2,624	)
Net identifiable assets acquired		44,293
Add: goodwill		15,692
Net assets acquired		59,985

Other financial assets (non-current)

An investment in equity securities is presented under other financial assets (non-current). The fair value of this financial asset was determined through an analysis of a recent transaction based on observable market inputs as detailed further in Note 19.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables with a fair value of €4,107 thousand and gross contractual amount of €7,800 thousand were acquired, of which €3,693 thousand is not expected to be collected. Other receivables include receivables from related parties’ activities and current tax receivables with a fair value of €867 thousand and an equivalent gross contractual amount.

Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets

The acquired lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments at the acquisition date. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities.

Contingent liability

A contingent liability of €225 thousand was recognized within provisions and other liabilities (non-current) on the acquisition of MOMA with respect to uncertain tax positions. It is uncertain when the tax authorities will reach a decision on this position. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that the Group could be required to make, is estimated to be €225 thousand. As at June 30, 2022, there has been no change in the amount recognized for the liability since the acquisition date as the passage of time is insignificant and there has been no change in the probability of the outcome.

Deferred tax liabilities

A deferred tax liability was recognized in relation to the fair value step-up on the investment in equity securities. This liability represents the taxable portion of capital gain that could potentially arise from future dilution of the interest of the Group in the investment.

Pro forma impact on revenues and net profit

From the acquisition date to June 30, 2022, the acquired business of MOMA contributed revenues of approximately €470 thousand and net profit of approximately €15 thousand to the Group. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022, the Group’s consolidated revenues and consolidated net loss after tax for the six months ended June 30, 2022, would have been €53,262 thousand and €243,352 thousand respectively. These amounts have been calculated using the results of the Group and subsidiary and adjusting them for the following:

•

differences in the accounting policies between the Group and the subsidiary;

•

the additional interest on lease liabilities and depreciation on right-of-use assets that would have been charged assuming leases would have been accounted under IFRS 16 Leases from January 1, 2022, together with the consequential tax effects.

•

the removal of the fair value movements in the purchase option to acquire MOMA from January 1, 2022.

The following table summarizes the operating results of MOMA that were included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022.


(in €‘000)	For the six months ended June 30, 2022
Revenue		470
Other income		5
General and administrative expenses		(441	)
Operating profit		34
Finance costs		(9	)
Profit before income tax		25
Income tax		(10	)
Profit for the half-year		15

Calculation of goodwill

Goodwill arising from the MOMA acquisition was determined as follows:


(in €‘000)	As at the acquisition date (June 7, 2022)
Cash consideration paid		29,985
Deferred consideration		30,000
Total consideration transferred		59,985
Less: fair value of identifiable net assets acquired		44,293
Goodwill		15,692

Goodwill recognized on the MOMA acquisition relates to the expected growth, synergies and intellectual capacity of the acquired workforce, which cannot be separately recognized as an intangible asset. This goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition-related expenses

Acquisition-related expenses of €248 thousand have been recognized in the (interim condensed) consolidated statement of profit or loss, within general and administrative expenses.

The initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete at the time that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue, because not all required information has been obtained and the identification and valuation procedures of the assets and liabilities are currently in process.

5.	Segmentation

The Executive Board of the Group is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) which monitors the operating results of the business for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. The management information provided to the CODM includes financial information related to revenue, cost of sales and gross result by revenue stream and by region. These performance measures are measured consistently with the same measures as disclosed in the (interim condensed) consolidated financial statements. Further financial information, including Adjusted EBITDA, employee expenses and operating expenses are only provided on a consolidated basis.

The CODM assesses the financial information of the business on a consolidated level and uses Adjusted EBITDA as the key performance measure to manage the business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings

before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for restructuring costs, transaction costs, fair value gains/(losses) on derivatives (purchase options) and share-based payment expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is the key performance measure for the CODM as it is believed to be a useful measure to monitor funding, growth and to decide on future business plans.

As the operating results of the business for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment are monitored on a consolidated level, the Group has one operating segment which is also its only reporting segment.

Segment financial information

As the Group only has one reporting segment, all relevant financial information is disclosed in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and reconciles to loss before income tax in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss as follows:


			For the six months ended June 30,
(in €‘000)	Notes		2022			2021
Adjusted EBITDA				(6,571	)		(3,827	)
Share-based payment expenses (share-based payment arrangements)		8		(82,005	)		(121,932	)
Share-based payment expenses (related to the Transaction)		4		(159,306	)		—
Transaction costs				(7,190	)		(4,643	)
Restructuring costs				(37	)		—
Fair value gains/(losses) on derivatives (purchase options)				3,856			230
Depreciation, impairments and reversal of impairments of property, plant and equipment		11		(6,146	)		(3,460	)
Depreciation and impairments of right-of-use assets				(2,952	)		(960	)
Amortization and impairments of intangible assets		11		(1,736	)		(1,306	)
Finance costs				15,173			(7,261	)
Loss before income tax				(246,914	)		(143,159	)

Share-based payment expenses for share-based payment arrangements comprise costs incurred for new arrangements entered into in 2022 which are the Second Special Fees Agreement and the Management Incentive Plan. The costs related to these arrangements are in addition to the First Special Fees Agreement which was entered into in 2020. Refer to Note 8 for details.

Share-based payment expenses related to the transaction represent the difference between the fair value of the shares issued by the Company to Spartan and the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired of Spartan. This was treated as costs for the service of obtaining a listing and expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Refer to Note 4 for details.

Transactions costs comprise costs incurred by the Group during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, in relation to the SPAC Transaction which are not directly related to the issuance of new equity instruments. These costs represent external consulting fees and bonuses to key employees in connection with the successful completion of the SPAC Transaction. Transaction costs incurred by the Group which are directly related to the issuance of new equity instruments have been recorded as a deduction to share premium (refer to Note 13 for details).

Revenue from external customers

The Company is domiciled in the Netherlands. The amount of revenue from external customers, based on the locations of the customers, can be broken down by country as follows:


	For the six months ended June 30,

8.1. First Special Fees Agreement

First Special Fees Agreement and amendments

On December 16, 2020, the Company’s then immediate parent entity — Madeleine — entered into a first Special Fees Agreement (the “First Agreement”), pursuant to which an external consulting firm provided services to the Group relating to the strategic and operational advice until one or more contemplated share transactions (a “Liquidity Event” or “Liquidity Events”). The First Agreement was set to terminate on December 31, 2023. As consideration for these services, the consulting firm was entitled to fees payable by Madeleine in cash (“Part A”) and in shares (“Part B”) based on the value of the Group in relation to future Liquidity Events. The amount of the Part A fees shall be paid directly after the closing of a Liquidity Event. Part B of the fees provided the consulting firm the right, prior to closing, to subscribe for new shares to be issued by an Allego group company at the nominal value of such shares.

The consulting firm was only entitled to cash and shares if the equity value at closing was at least 20% higher than the initial equity value of the Company as agreed in the First Agreement as at December 16, 2020. The number of shares that the consulting firm may subscribe for was determined based on the equity value of the Company at closing. The maximum number of shares the consulting firm was entitled to acquire under the original First Agreement was equal to 10% of the share capital of the applicable Allego group company.

In January 2021, the First Agreement was amended whereby certain definitions, including the definition of what entails a Liquidity Event, were changed. In April 2021, the First Agreement was amended whereby the external consulting firm was entitled to additional compensation from Madeleine upon the first-time admission of the shares of any Allego group company to a regulated or organized stock exchange. If such an admission occurs, the external consulting firm shall have the right to subscribe for additional shares being equal to 5% of the share capital (after completion of the listing) of the Company or the relevant Allego group company. Additionally, the First Agreement was extended until the earlier of (i) December 31, 2028 and (ii) the date on which Meridiam or any Meridiam Affiliates would cease to own, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Group.

On July 28, 2021, Spartan and the Company signed a BCA. Madeleine and the external consulting firm were also parties to the BCA. On February 28, 2022, the BCA was amended whereby the parties modified the thresholds that determine whether the fees payable as part of the First Agreement in cash (“Part A”) to the external consulting firm will be paid in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares, contingent upon the number of redemptions of Spartan shares that will occur as part of the SPAC Transaction. The amendment did not change the accounting treatment of the First Agreement as disclosed in this note, as the total First Agreement is classified as an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement (see below), and the amendment did not give rise to an incremental fair value of the share-based payment arrangement.

On March 16, 2022, in connection with the BCA, and before the closing of the SPAC Transaction, 22 ordinary shares of Allego Holding at a par value of €1.00 per share were issued to the external consulting firm. On the same day, pursuant to the BCA, each share of Allego Holding held by the external consulting firm was exchanged to ordinary shares of Allego N.V. in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. Consequently, the external consulting firm owns 41,097,994 ordinary shares of Allego N.V. at a par value of €0.12 each.

Although Madeleine had the obligation to settle the First Agreement, the Group accounted for the First Agreement as a share-based payment since the Group obtained services from the consulting firm in exchange for equity instruments of an Allego group company or cash amounts based on the equity value of the Company (together “the share-based payment arrangement”). Since the Group did not have an obligation to settle the share-based payment arrangement with the consulting firm in cash (“Part A”) and/or equity instruments (“Part A and Part B”), the total First Agreement was classified as an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement.

Certain directors of the Company were entitled to compensation from the external consulting firm in the form of a fixed percentage of the total benefits (including the proceeds from a future sale of shares in the Company) that

the external consulting firm would generate under the First Agreement, including any amendments. For details refer to Note 33.3 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The share-based payment expenses related to the First Agreement therefore reflect both compensation for external consulting services and key management remuneration.

Measurement of fair value at the grant date

In accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, the fair value of key management remuneration is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date is not subsequently adjusted.

As the value of the services provided by the consulting firm was not directly related to the time incurred by the consultants, management considered that the fair value of the services cannot be measured reliably. Therefore, the fair value of the services received under the First Agreement was measured by reference to the fair value of the share-based payment arrangement offered as consideration, as the Group obtained these services. The Group applied an approach where the average fair value over the reporting period is used to determine the fair value of the services received.

Since the First Agreement included an implicit service condition, the services received under the Agreement were recognized as expenses between December 16, 2020 (“the grant date”) and March 17, 2022 (the date of the Liquidity Event), by reference to the fair value of the share-based payment arrangement measured at the grant date (for key management remuneration) or the average fair value over the reporting period (for external consulting services). As described further below, the amendment to the First Agreement in April 2021 was a modification to the share-based payment arrangement. The expense recognition for this modification followed the same pattern as described above, with the exception that the grant date was considered to be the modification date (April 28, 2021).

Fair value of equity instruments granted

The fees payable under the First Agreement (either in cash and/or in shares) depended on the future value of the Allego Group at the time of the Liquidity Event. Since there was no market price for the services, to measure the fair value of this instrument under IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, valuation techniques that were based on discounting expected future cash flows, also referred to as the income approach, were taken into account.

Given that all fees payable under the First Agreement were derived from the outcomes of a specific Liquidity Event scenario, a probability-weighted equity return method was historically applied in order to value the payouts under the First Agreement. Under this approach, the fees payable were estimated based upon an analysis of future values for the Allego Group, assuming various probable Liquidity Event scenarios, each with their own probability attached.

In order to measure the fair value of the instrument throughout the period from December 31, 2021, to March 17, 2022, the only scenario that was considered by the Group for the fair value measurement of the instrument was the SPAC Transaction.

For the above-described scenario, the future (post-money) value of the Allego Group has been estimated for the valuation of the instrument as of December 31, 2021, and a discount rate of 15.0% has been applied to determine the present value of the expected payouts. Additionally, for the valuation of the instrument as of March 17, 2022, the actual value of the Allego Group based on the offer price and the number of shares outstanding at the time of the SPAC Transaction was used.

Since the Part B fees include a lock-up mechanism, a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) of 11.5% (December 31, 2021: 9.4%) has been applied using the following main input parameters:


Input parameters (DLOM)	March 17, 2022			December 31, 2021
Expected life		0.5 years			0.5 years
Expected volatility		72.5	%		58.6	%
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%

The total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement as at March 17, 2022 was €303,500 thousand (December 31, 2021: €459,300 thousand), of which €9,000 thousand (December 31, 2021: €97,900 thousand) related to Part A and €294,500 thousand (December 31, 2021: €361,400 thousand) related to Part B.

Share-based payment expenses

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group recognized share-based payment expenses of €67,621 thousand (June 30, 2021: €121,932 thousand) for this equity-settled arrangement, with a corresponding increase in retained earnings. As the share-based payment expenses for the First Agreement reflect both compensation for external consulting services and key management remuneration, the Group has recognized share-based payment expenses for an amount of €46,433 thousand (June 30, 2021: €83,995 thousand) as legal, accounting and consulting fees and share-based payment expenses for an amount of €21,188 thousand (June 30, 2021: €37,937 thousand) has been recognized as employee benefits expenses, both within general and administrative expenses.

8.2. Second Special Fees Agreement

On February 25, 2022, the Company’s immediate parent entity — Madeleine — entered into a Second Special Fees Agreement (the “Second Agreement”) with the same external consulting firm as for the First Agreement described above. The purpose of this Second Agreement is to compensate the external consulting firm for their continuous strategic and operational advice, as well as support with regards to Allego’s fundraising efforts in the near future. The Agreement ultimately expires on the earlier of June 30, 2025, and the date on which Madeleine would no longer hold any equity security in Allego. As consideration for the Second Agreement, the external consulting firm is entitled to receive cash compensation based on the value of the Group in connection with any new injection of equity, whether in cash or in kind, in any entity of the Group subsequent to the Business Combination (the “Equity Injection(s)”).

On March 10, 2022, the Second Agreement was amended to modify the formula of the relevant percentage used in the determination of the fees payable (the “Relevant Percentage”) for equity injections subsequent to the first Equity Injection.

The Group accounts for the Second Agreement as a share-based payment since the Group obtained services from the consulting firm in exchange for cash amounts based on the equity value of the Company. Madeleine, instead of the Group, had the obligation to settle the share-based payment arrangement with the consulting firm. The Second Agreement was therefore classified as an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement. On April 20, 2022, the Second Agreement was novated from Madeleine to Allego (the “Novation”), all the other terms of the Second Agreement remaining the same. As a result of the Novation, Allego has now the obligation, instead of Madeleine, to settle the share-based payment arrangement with the consulting firm. The Second Agreement’s classification therefore changed to a cash-settled share-based payment arrangement from the Novation date.

Certain directors of the Company are entitled to compensation from the external consulting firm in the form of a fixed percentage of the total benefits that the external consulting firm will generate under the Second Agreement, including any amendments. The share-based payment expenses for the Second Agreement therefore reflect both compensation for external consulting services and key management remuneration.

Measurement of fair value as an equity-settled plan

In accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, the fair value of key management remuneration under an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date is not subsequently adjusted.

As the value of the services provided by the consulting firm is not directly related to the time incurred by the consultants, management considers that the fair value of the services cannot be measured reliably. Therefore, the fair value of the services received under the Second Agreement are measured by reference to the fair value of the share-based payment arrangement offered as consideration, as the Group obtains these services. The Group applies an approach where the average fair value over the reporting period is used to determine the fair value of the services received.

Since the Second Agreement includes an implicit service condition, the services received under the Second Agreement are recognized as expenses over the period in which the Company expects to have the Equity Injections, therefore between February 25, 2022 (“the grant date”) and the dates of the Equity Injections by reference to the fair value of the share-based payment arrangement measured at the grant date (for key management remuneration) or the average fair value over the reporting period (for external consulting services).

Measurement of fair value as a cash-settled plan

Following the Novation, the Second Agreement was classified as a cash-settled plan as opposed to an equity-settled plan. Therefore, in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, the fair value of both the key management remuneration and the services provided by the consulting firm under a cash-settled share-based payment arrangement is measured by reference to the fair value of the share-based payment arrangement offered as consideration, as the Group obtains these services. The fair value of the liability is recognized over the service period.

In effect, IFRS 2 Share-based Payment provides that the cumulative amount recognized as the expense over the life of the Second Agreement is the grant-date fair value plus or minus any subsequent changes in fair value after the change in classification. Therefore, the cumulative amount may be less than the original grant-date fair value.

Fair value of equity instruments granted

The fees payable under the Second Agreement will depend on the future value of the Allego Group following each future Equity Injection. Since there is no market price for the services, to measure the fair value of this instrument under IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, the future value of the Allego Group for the first equity injection has been derived from a Monte Carlo model in which that value can be simulated over many scenarios. Subsequently, another simulation is run for the next Equity Injection (based on the previously simulated value plus a potential first injection). Furthermore, a so-called geometric Brownian motion is used as a stochastic process for share prices. The value of the Second Agreement is consequently determined by taking the sum of the average payoffs for both Equity Injections discounted to the valuation date at the appropriate rate.

The following main inputs parameters have been used to determine the present value of the expected payouts:


Input parameters (2^nd SFA)	Value
Interest rate		0.43	%
Expected volatility		60.0	%
Expected dividend yield		0.00	%

The total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement as at June 30, 2022 is estimated at €6,600 thousand (grant date: €32,250 thousand)

The Group assessed the impact to the fair value of the share-based payment arrangement as a result of the amendment to the Second Agreement which was entered into in March 2022. The amendment modifies the formula of the Relevant Percentage applied to the future value of the Group for equity injections subsequent to the first Equity Injection, which is a component of the calculation of the fees payable. However, the Relevant Percentage used to calculate the fees remained the same following the amendment and therefore did not impact the fair value of the Second Agreement as of the amendment date.

Additionally, the Group assessed the accounting impact of the Novation. The Group measured the liability using the Novation date fair value of the equity-settled shared-based payment arrangement based on the elapsed portion of the vesting period (period from Grant Date to each Equity Injection date). Therefore, as of the Novation, an amount of €4,440 thousand was recognized as a current liability, and an amount of €1,353 thousand was recognized as a non-current liability, with a corresponding decrease to equity of €5,793 thousand.

Share-based payment expenses

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group recognized total share-based payment expenses with respect to the Second Agreement of €2,608 thousand (June 30, 2021: € nil). The Second Agreement was modified from equity-settled plan to cash-settled plan during the period from the Novation, therefore:

•

The Group recognized share-based payments expenses of €6,380 thousand (June 30, 2021: € nil) for the period before the Novation, with a corresponding increase in retained earnings. As the share-based payment expenses for the Second Agreement reflect both compensation for external consulting services and key management remuneration, for the period before the novation the Group has recognized share-based payment expenses for an amount of €4,498 thousand (June 30, 2021: € nil) as legal, accounting and consulting fees and share-based payment expenses for an amount of €1,881 thousand (June 30, 2021: € nil) has been recognized as employee benefits expenses, both within general and administrative expenses.

•

The Group recognized share-based payments expenses of negative €3,772 thousand (June 30, 2021: € nil) for the period after the Novation, with a corresponding decrease in liability. As the share-based payment expenses for the Second Agreement reflect both compensation for external consulting services and key management remuneration, for the period after the novation the Group has recognized share-based payment expenses for an amount of negative €2,471 thousand (June 30, 2021: € nil) as legal, accounting and consulting fees and share-based payment expenses for an amount of negative €1,301 thousand (June 30, 2021: € nil) has been recognized as employee benefits expenses, both within general and administrative expenses.

8.3. Management incentive plan

The establishment of the company’s management incentive plan (MIP) was approved by the board of directors on April 20, 2022. The MIP is designed to provide long-term incentives for key management employees to deliver long-term shareholder returns, and includes two types of granted options: the right to acquire a percentage of the Company’s issued share capital immediately following the listing, subject to the expiry of a blocking period of 18 months (the “Grant Options”), and the right to acquire a percentage of the Company’s issued share capital immediately following the listing, subject to predefined performance conditions and the expiry of the blocking period (the “Performance Options”). The granted options carry no dividend or voting rights. The options do not include any market conditions or non-vesting conditions that should be included in the fair value at recognition.

Under the plan, the Grant Options vest immediately, and the Performance Options only vest if certain performance standards are met. Participation in the plan is at the board of directors’ discretion, and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits.

The amount of Performance Options that will vest depends on the group’s performance, including operational EBITDA, financing targets, compliance and reporting, engagement with investors, and the minimum service period of the employees. Once vested, the granted options remain exercisable for a period of ten years following the end of the blocking period, which ends on September 18, 2023, for the Grant Options and ten years from the grant date (May 14, 2022) for the Performance Options.

The exercise price of the granted options under the plan is €0.12 per option. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the Company.

Set out below are summaries of Grant options and Performance Options granted under the plan:


	For the six months ended June 30, 2022

The total expenses arising from the transactions from the MIP recognized during the period as part of employee benefit expense were €11,776 thousand (June 30, 2021: € nil).

Fair value of options granted

The assessed fair value at grant date of granted options during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was €7.75 per option (June 30, 2021: no options granted) for the Grant Options and Performance Options both.

The fair value was determined as the share price of the Company’s ordinary shares on grant date of $8.17 (€7.87⁷), determined as the closing price on May 13, 2022 (the last working day preceding the grant date), less the exercise price of €0.12.

No specific option-pricing model (e.g., Black-Scholes) was applied for the valuation, as in the situation when the exercise price applicable to the options is negligible, the calculated fair value of an option is close (or equal) to the value of an ordinary share less the exercise price, regardless of the other input parameters applied in the option valuation.

⁷	Translated at the EUR/USD exchange rate as at May 13, 2022.

As the options do not include any market conditions or non-vesting conditions that has an impact on the fair value and there is no adjustment for dividends, the grant date fair value of both Grant Options and Performance Options was determined using the same approach.

9.	Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period (see explanations regarding the impact of the SPAC Transaction over the weighted average number of ordinary shares in Note 4).

The following table reflects the loss and share data used in the basic and diluted loss per share calculations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:


	For the six months ended June 30,
(in €‘000)	2022			2021
Loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company		(246,913	)		(143,756	)

Basic and diluted losses per share		(1.05	)		(0.76	)

The Company only has ordinary shares. Refer to Note 13 for details about the Company’s share capital.

There is no difference between basic and diluted loss per share as the effect on loss per share and the potential ordinary shares that would be issued by the Company under the First Special Fees Agreement, the Management Incentive Plan, and the exercise of Public Warrants is anti-dilutive for all periods presented. Refer to respectively Note 8.1, Note 8.3, and Note 15 for details on the First Special Fees Agreement, the Management Incentive Plan and the Public Warrants, respectively.

There have been no other transactions involving ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares between the reporting date and the date of authorization of these consolidated financial statements.

Pledged bank balances

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group has pledged additional bank balances to secure the payment of interest and commitment fees to the Group’s external lender for an amount of €990 thousand. All pledged bank balances have an original maturity of three months or more. Therefore, the Group has presented its pledged bank balances as other financial assets in the consolidated statement of financial position, as opposed to cash and cash equivalents.

As at June 30, 2022, pledged bank balances for an amount of €19,877 thousand (December 31, 2021: €18,887 thousand) have an original maturity of twelve months or more and are presented as non-current. There were no pledged bank balances that have an original maturity between three and twelve months.

As at June 30, 2022, the non-current portion relates to bank balances pledged to secure the payment of interest and commitment fees to the Group’s external lender for an amount of €18,247 thousand (December 31, 2021: €17,257 thousand) and bank balances pledged to secure payments to suppliers of the Group for an amount of €430 thousand (December 31, 2021: €430 thousand). As at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, these pledged bank balances have a maturity of twelve months or more and are presented as non-current.

During previous reporting periods, the Group received subsidies in advance from the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (“INEA”), an agency established by the European Commission. The Group pledged bank balances as a security, in the event the Group is required to repay the subsidy. As at June 30, 2022, the Group

pledged bank balances in relation to these subsidies for an amount of €1,200 thousand (December 31, 2021: €1,200 thousand).

Derivatives

Purchase option to acquire MOMA

On March 26, 2021, the Group entered into two option agreements, pursuant to which the Group was entitled to purchase shares representing 8.50% of the share capital (on a fully diluted basis) of MOMA, a service provider for the Group’s EV Cloud platform — and 100% of a third-party company, which held 42.0% of the share capital of MOMA. The provisions of the shareholder’s agreement of MOMA include drag-along rights. Consequently, the Group was required to acquire the remaining 49.50% of the share capital of MOMA upon exercising its option rights, under similar terms and conditions as the original option agreements. The purchase price for 100% of the share capital of MOMA amounts to €60,000 thousand.

On September 28, 2021, the Group extended the option agreements under similar terms and conditions as the original option agreements. After the extension, the options could be exercised up to and until February 28, 2022. On February 2, 2022, the Group extended the option agreements.

On April 26, 2022, the Group notified MOMA that it intends to exercise its purchase options, subject to, inter alia, obtaining approval from the workers council and simultaneous signing and closure of share purchase agreements for the acquisition of the Direct and Indirect MOMA Shares. Pursuant to the exercise of the Option Rights, on June 7, 2022, Allego Holding B.V closed two separate share and sale purchase agreements (the “Agreements”) to acquire shares representing 100% of the share capital of MOMA in a business combination agreement (the “MOMA Business Combination”). For further details refer to Note 4.

The MOMA options qualified as derivatives and were accounted at fair value through profit and loss. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, and up until June 7, 2022, the acquisition date of MOMA, the Group recognized a fair value loss of €3,200 thousand (June 30, 2021: gain of €230 thousand) in relation to the options. As of June 7, 2022, the fair value of these options amounted to € nil (December 31, 2021: €3,200 thousand). The assumptions and model used for estimating the fair value of the purchase options to acquire MOMA are disclosed in Note 19. As at June 30, 2022, the Group no longer holds these derivative options.

Purchase option to acquire Mega-E

On July 28, 2021, the Group and Meridiam EM — an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Meridiam SAS, the Company’s then ultimate parent — entered into a call option agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of Mega-E. Meridiam EM is a related party under common control. The Group paid no consideration for the option. The exercise of the call option by the Group is conditional upon satisfaction of the SPAC Transaction contemplated under the BCA and the call option was exercisable by the Group at the earliest on January 15, 2022, and within the six-month period thereafter. The purchase price under the option amounted to €9,456 thousand. On March 16, 2022, the Group consummated SPAC Transaction, thereby becoming able to exercise its call option right pursuant to the terms of the Mega-E Option agreement. Therefore, the Group reassessed its control assessment over Mega-E and concluded that the call option provided the Group with potential voting rights, which became substantive as of March 16, 2022, being the date all conditions under the call option agreement were met and Allego effectively obtained control over Mega-E. Refer to Note 4 for further details.

The Mega-E option qualified as a derivative and was accounted at fair value through profit and loss. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, and up until March 16, 2022, the date the Group obtained control over Mega-E, the Group recognized a fair value gain of €7,056 thousand (June 30, 2021: € nil) in relation to the option in the consolidated statement of profit or loss within other income. As of March 16, 2022, the fair value of the option amounted to €34,256 thousand (December 31, 2021: €27,200 thousand). The assumptions and model used for estimating the fair value of the purchase option to acquire Mega-E are disclosed in Note 19. As at June 30, 2022, pursuant to the Group having substantive rights to exercise the Call Option, the derivative option is eliminated and a deferred consideration liability is recognized with respect to the exercise price.

Other derivatives

Included in the Group’s derivatives balance is an interest rate cap for which the Group entered into an agreement in September 2019 with its external lender to hedge its interest rate risk exposure. The derivative is only used for economic hedging purposes and not as a speculative investment. The Group does not apply hedge accounting. Therefore, the Group accounts for the derivative at fair value through profit or loss.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group recognized a fair value gain of €2,060 thousand (June 30, 2021: gain of €147 thousand) on its interest rate cap. As at June 30, 2022, the fair value of the interest rate cap amounts to €2,754 thousand (December 31, 2021: €695 thousand).

Fair value changes of the Group’s interest rate cap derivative are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, within finance costs. Refer to Note 19 for information about the methods and assumptions used in determining the fair value of the interest rate cap.

Investment in equity securities

The Group’s investments in equity securities relate to an investment in Voltalis SA (“Voltalis”), a private company that provides distributed demand response products which enable households to achieve energy savings. The Group acquired the investment through the acquisition of MOMA.

As of June 30, 2022, the Group holds 16% (December 31, 2021: € nil) of the total share capital of Voltalis, which has a fair value of €41,984 thousand (December 31, 2021: € nil). No fair value gain or loss has been recognized with respect to this investment during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Fair value changes of the Group’s investment in equity securities are recognized in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income. Refer to Note 19 for information about the methods and assumptions used in determining the fair value of the investment.

Share capital, share premium and transaction costs on new equity instruments

Share capital and share premium

As at June 30, 2022, the issued share capital of the Company amounted to €28,312 thousand (December 31, 2021: €100), divided into 235,935,061 ordinary shares of €0.12 per share (December 31, 2021: 100 ordinary shares of €1 per share). They entitle the holder to participate in dividends, and to share in the proceeds of winding up the Company in proportion to the number of shares held. The authorized share capital of the Company as at June 30, 2022, amounted to €108,000 thousand (December 31, 2021: €100), divided into 900,000 ordinary shares of €0.12 per share (December 31, 2021: 100 ordinary shares of €1.00 per share).

Shareholder Loans equity conversion

In 2018 and 2019, the Group entered into shareholder loans with Madeleine (the Company’s immediate parent) to finance its operations.

For the six months ending June 30, 2022, new equity instruments have been issued at the carrying amount of Allego’s outstanding shareholder loans of €101,933 thousand and accordingly no gain or loss has been recognized in the interim condensed consolidated profit and loss account.

The shareholder loan equity conversion resulted in a share issuance of 2 Allego Holding ordinary shares at a par value of €1.00 per share, increasing share capital by €2, with the remaining difference in the shareholder loan equity conversion being recorded as an increase to share premium of €101,933 thousand.

For further details regarding the terms of the shareholder loans refer to Note 14.

First Special Fees Agreement with external consulting firm

Under the First Special Fees Agreement between Madeleine and an external consulting firm dated as of December 16, 2020, and subsequently amended, the external consulting firm was provided with the right, prior to closing of a Liquidity Event, to subscribe for new shares to be issued by an Allego Group company at the nominal value of such shares.

On March 16, 2022, in accordance with the First Special Fees Agreement, and before the closing of the SPAC Transaction, Allego Holding issued 22 ordinary shares at a par value of €1.00 per share to the external consulting firm, increasing share capital by €22. Please refer to Note 8.1 for more details on the First Special Fees Agreement.

Merger between Allego Holding B.V. and Spartan Acquisition Corp. III—the SPAC Transaction

As indicated in Note 4, on March 16, 2022, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement each holder of Allego N.V. ordinary shares exchanged by means of a contribution in kind its Allego Holding ordinary shares to Allego N.V. in exchange for the issuance of shares in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. Therefore, Allego Holding became a wholly owned subsidiary of Allego N.V. Consequently, 124 Allego Holding ordinary shares at a par value of €1 each were exchanged for 235,935,061 ordinary shares of Allego N.V. at a par value of €0.12 each. Consequently, share capital increased by €28,312 thousand and the share premium decreased by the same amount.

Furthermore, on March 16, 2022, each share of Spartan’s common stock was exchanged by means of a contribution in kind in exchange for the issuance of ordinary shares of Allego N.V., whereby Allego N.V. issued one ordinary share for each share of Spartan’s common stock exchanged, meaning the issuance of 14,907,582 Allego N.V. ordinary shares of €0.12 par value, and increasing share capital by €1,789 thousand and share premium by €86,401 thousand, which includes the impact of applying IFRS 2 for €159,306 thousand (see Note 4).

PIPE Financing

Concurrently with the execution of the BCA, Spartan and Allego entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”), dated July 28, 2021, with a number of investors (collectively the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe to and purchase, and Allego N.V. agreed to issue and sell to such PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 15,000,000 Ordinary Shares (the “PIPE Shares”) at a price of $10.00 per share (€9.07⁸ per share) for an aggregate purchase price of $150 million (€136⁸ million) in proceeds (the “PIPE Financing”) on the Closing Date.

Such Subscription Agreements entered with the PIPE investors resulted in two separate share issuances (hereinafter referred to as the “First PIPE Share Issue” and the “Second PIPE Share Issue” respectively) by the Company during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. The First PIPE Share Issue executed on March 16, 2022, meant a share capital increase of €1,500 thousand (12,500,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of €0.12 per share) and a rise in share premium of €111,873 thousand. On March 22, 2022 the Second PIPE Share Issue was executed, 2,500,000 Ordinary Shares were issued at price of €0.12 per share, increasing share capital by €300 thousand, and raising share premium by €22,375 thousand.

Transaction costs on new equity instruments

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group incurred transaction costs of € nil (June 30, 2021: €532 thousand) that are directly attributable to the issuance of new equity instruments in relation to the SPAC Transaction. These transaction costs have been recorded as a deduction to share premium. For further details regarding these transaction costs refer to Note 4.

⁸	Translated at the EUR/USD Exchange rate as at March 16, 2022

The Group also incurred transaction costs in relation to the SPAC Transaction, which are not directly related to the issuance of new equity instruments (refer to Note 5). These transaction costs have been recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022, within general and administrative expenses.

Issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Private warrants

As indicated in Note 15, on April 15, 2022, all the Private Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis. As a result of the exercise, 9,360,000 Private Warrants were converted into 1,334,949 Allego N.V. ordinary shares, with a nominal value of €0.12 per share, increasing share capital by €160 thousand, and raising share premium by €13,694 thousand.

****	The Euribor rate (6M) is floored at 0%. Therefore in case of a negative Euribor the applied interest rate is 0.1%.

*****

The loan has a maturity date of December 31, 2022. However, it is expected that the loan will be settled pursuant to the Mega-E call option being exercised by the Group. Therefore the loan has been classified as current.

Senior debt

In May 2019, the Group entered into a senior debt bank facility agreement to finance its operations. The principal terms and conditions of the senior debt bank facility are as follows:

•

a facility of €120 million;

•

drawdown stop when conditions precedent (covenant ratios) are not met;

•

repayment in full at maturity date;

•

commitment fee per year equal to 35% of the applicable margin. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the commitment fee was 1.75% per year (equal to 35% of the margin of 5%).

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Group completed three drawdowns on the facility for a total amount of €44,315 thousand. On March 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, and December 2, 2021, the Group completed drawdowns on the facility of €24,203 thousand, €5,660 thousand and €14,452 thousand, respectively. As a result of these drawdowns, the Group has utilized the maximum amount of credit as allowed under the facility as of December 2, 2021. The change in the carrying amount of borrowings is due to accrued interest for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Assets pledged as security

The senior debt bank facility is secured by pledges on the bank accounts (presented as part of cash and cash equivalents), pledges on trade and other receivables and pledges on the shares in the capital of Allego B.V. and Allego Innovations B.V. held by the Company. These pledges may be enforced on the occurrence of an event of default, which is continuing. The carrying amount of assets pledged as security for the senior debt are as follows:


(in €‘000)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Current assets
Floating charge
Cash and cash equivalents		3,065		6,206
Trade receivables		36,855		38,767
Other receivables		7,414		5,752
Total current assets pledged as security		47,334		50,725

Transaction costs

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group incurred € nil (June 30, 2021: €289 thousand) of transaction costs that are directly attributable to the senior debt bank facility. These costs are included in the measurement of the loan and are amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The interest expenses are recognized as part of finance costs in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Prior to the drawdown on December 2, 2021 — the date on which the Group has utilized the maximum amount of credit as allowed under the facility — the Group expected that it would draw on the funds available under the senior debt facility. Therefore, commitment fees paid on the unused portion of the senior debt bank facility were deferred and treated as an adjustment to the loan’s effective interest rate and recognized as interest expense over the term of the loan. The Group did not incur additional commitment fees after December 2, 2021, as the Group has utilized the maximum amount of credit as allowed under the facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group recognized interest expenses of €4,656 thousand (June 30, 2021: €2,875 thousand) on the senior debt bank facility.

Loan covenants

Under the terms of the senior debt bank facility, the Group is required to comply with financial covenants related to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), revenue and interest expenses:

1.	Group’s EBITDA margin ratio: calculated on a consolidated level as (EBITDA / Revenue) X 100.

2.	Group’s EBITDA: calculated on a consolidated basis.

3.	Interest coverage ratio: calculated on a consolidated basis as (Revenue / interest paid).

EBITDA margin thresholds are defined at the level of Allego B.V. as well, which are required to be met together with the thresholds for the Group.

Breaching the requirements would cause a drawdown stop. Continuing breaches in the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call the debt. The Group may within twenty business days from the occurrence of a breach of the loan covenants provide a remedial plan setting out the actions, steps and/or measures (which may include a proposal for adjustments of the financial covenant levels) which are proposed to be implemented in order to remedy a breach of the loan covenants. In addition to the drawdown stop thresholds, a default status would occur if ratios would deteriorate further. This could lead to the loan to become immediately due and payable.

The Group has complied with these covenants throughout all reporting periods presented. The Group met its covenants that were determined based on the Dutch GAAP financial statements of the Company, as required by the terms and conditions of the senior debt bank facility. As the Group transitioned to IFRS, the loan covenants will need to be revisited with the lenders as per the facility agreement.

Given the fact that the Group has utilized the maximum amount of credit as allowed under the facility after the drawdown on December 2, 2021, the Group has determined that the disclosure of the default covenant ratios provides more relevant information compared to the drawdown stop covenant ratios. The target default covenant ratios are determined based on a twelve-month running basis and are as follows:

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the actual covenant ratios (based on Dutch GAAP) were as follows:


Covenant ratios	June 30, 2022			June 30, 2021
*Default covenant ratios*
EBITDA margin		5.63	%		negative 12.92	%
EBITDA	€	7 million			negative €8 million
Interest coverage ratio		21.70x			13.57x

In the preparation of its interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group assessed whether information about the existence of the covenant and its terms is material information, considering both the consequences and the likelihood of a breach occurring. The consequences of a covenant breach have been described in this note. A covenant breach would affect the Group’s financial position and cash flows in a way that could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of the primary users of these consolidated financial statements. The Group considered the likelihood of a breach occurring as higher than remote as the Group incurred losses during the first years of its operations, even though the Group has complied with these covenants throughout all reporting periods presented and expects to continue to meet financial covenants performance criteria. Please also refer to Note 2.2 for the going concern considerations.

Shareholder loans (1)

In 2018 and 2019, the Group entered into shareholder loans with Madeleine (the Company’s immediate parent) to finance its operations. All shareholder loans have similar terms and conditions. The principal terms and conditions are as follows:

•

repayment in full at maturity date;

•

interest can be paid or accrued at the discretion of the Group. Any accrued interest is due at the maturity date of the loan.

Interest expenses on the Group’s shareholder loans are recognized as part of finance costs in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group

recognized interest expenses of €1,741 thousand (June 30, 2021: €4,247 thousand) on the shareholder loans. These interest expenses have been accrued to the carrying value of the shareholder loans.

On March 16, 2022, immediately prior to the closing of the previously announced business combination and pursuant to the terms of the BCA, the outstanding principal of the shareholder loans together with the accrued interest on these loans have been converted into equity. For further details regarding the equity conversion of the shareholder loans refer to Note 13.

Shareholder loan (2)

In 2020, the Group entered into a shareholder loan with Meridiam EM SAS to finance its operations. The terms and conditions of the loan have been amended subsequent to the initial loan agreement being signed. The principal terms and conditions are as follows:

•

repayment in full no later than the maturity date;

•

interest is paid half yearly in arrears;

•

the loan becomes due in the event of a share capital increase.

Interest expense on the shareholder loan is recognized as part of finance costs in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group recognized interest expenses of €12 thousand (June 30, 2021: € nil) on the shareholder loans.

15.

Warrant liabilities

As mentioned in Note 4, as part of the SPAC Transaction, 13,799,948 Public Warrants and 9,360,000 Private Warrants issued by Spartan have been assumed by the Group. At June 30, 2022, the Group had 13,799,948 Public Warrants and no Private Warrants outstanding, after the private warrant holders exercised all their warrants on April 15, 2022.

Public Warrants entitle the holder to convert each warrant into one ordinary share of the Company of €0.12 par value at an exercise price of $11.50 (€10.97⁹), and can be exercised starting 30 days after the SPAC Transaction. The Private Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants, with the exception that as long as the Private Warrants are held by Spartan, they may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, and they cannot be transferred, assigned, or sold until 30 days after the Business Combination. The cashless basis exercise entitles the Private Warrants holders to convert the warrants into a number of Allego ordinary share of €0.12 par value equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the product of the number of ordinary shares of Allego underlying the warrants and the excess of the fair market value over the exercise price of the warrants by the fair market value. For the purpose of the calculation above, the fair market value shall mean the average last reported sale price of the ordinary shares of Allego for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of exercise of the warrant is given,

Until warrant holders acquire the ordinary shares upon exercise of such warrants, they will have no voting or economic rights. The warrants will expire on March 16, 2027, five years after the SPAC Transaction, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation in accordance with their terms.

As there are no elements in the warrant agreements that give the Group the possibility to prevent the warrant owners to convert their warrants within twelve months, the Group has classified the warrant liabilities as current liabilities.

⁹	Translated at the EUR/USD Exchange rate as at June 30, 2022.

Exercise of warrants

On April 15, 2022, all the Private Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, and the Private Warrants holders received 1,334,949 ordinary shares of the Company. The Private Warrants had a fair value of €13,854 thousand on the exercise date. For further details regarding the Private Warrants exercise refer to Note 13.

There were no Public Warrants exercised during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

Movements in warrant liabilities

The financial liabilities for the warrants are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. For further details on the assumptions and models used for estimating the fair value of the derivative warrants refer to Note 19.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 the Group recognized a total net fair value gain of €21,686 thousand (June 30, 2021: € nil) in relation to both the Public Warrants and the Private Warrants, in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, within finance costs.

Movement in the warrant liabilities for the period ended June 30, 2022 are summarized as follows:


	Public Warrants					Private Warrants						Total

As detailed in Note 12, as of March 16, 2022, the Group effectively obtained control over Mega-E pursuant to the completion of the previously announced business combination and recognized a financial liability equivalent to the purchase price payable as per the option agreement. The call option was formally exercised on July 12, 2022 (refer to Note 23).

As at June 30, 2022, the full cash consideration of €9,456 thousand related to the Mega-E acquisition was payable to the previous shareholders as the option was not exercised at that time, and as the amount ultimately becomes payable before July 15, 2022, the full balance is presented as current in other financial liabilities in the (interim condensed) consolidated statement of financial position.

Cash consideration payable for the MOMA acquisition

The Group’s other financial liabilities also include a cash consideration payable of €30,000 thousand related to the MOMA acquisition.

On June 7, 2022, the Group entered into two separate share and sale purchase agreements to acquire shares representing 100% of the share capital of MOMA for a total cash purchase price consideration of €59,985 thousand. On the same date, a cash payment of €29,985 thousand, being equal to 50% of the Total purchase price consideration, was paid into the respective bank accounts of the selling shareholders (the “First Instalment”). The remaining 50% of the total purchase price consideration, €30,000 thousand (the “Second Instalment”) was paid on July 29, 2022. Accordingly, the full balance of the Second Instalment of the purchase consideration is presented as current in other financial liabilities in the (interim condensed) consolidated statement of financial position.

Fair value measurement

This note explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognized and measured at fair value and the financial instruments for which the fair value is disclosed in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.

An explanation of each level is included in Note 2.7.16 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value

As at June 30, 2022, the Group has recorded the following financial instruments at fair value in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position:

•

interest rate cap derivative;

•

warrant liabilities;

investment in equity securities.

Interest rate cap derivative and the investment in equity securities are presented within non-current other financial assets. Warrant liabilities are presented as a separate line in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

As at December 31, 2021, the Group had its interest rate cap derivative and purchase options to acquire Mega-E and MOMA recorded at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position, which were presented within non-current other financial assets. The Group did not have any other assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as at December 31, 2021.

The interest rate cap qualifies for the level 2 category in the fair value hierarchy due to the fact that it is not traded in an active market and the fair value is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data. Since all significant inputs required to fair value the instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

The investment in equity securities qualifies for the level 2 category in the fair value hierarchy due to the fact that the investee is not a public company traded in an active market and the fair value is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the usage of observable market data. Since all significant inputs required to fair value the instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

The purchase options qualified for the level 3 category in the fair value hierarchy before being derecognized in 2022, due to the fact that they were not traded in an active market and the fair value was determined using valuation techniques which use unobservable inputs that were significant to the fair value.

The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants qualified for the level 3 category in the fair value hierarchy at the time of their issuance due to the fact that they were not traded in an active market at the time and their fair value was determined using valuation techniques which use unobservable inputs that were significant to the fair value. As at June 30, 2022, the warrants qualify for the level 1 category in the fair value hierarchy due to the fact that their fair value is determined based on quoted market inputs.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, transfers of €20,567 thousand from level 3 to level 1 occurred with respect to the warrants.

The fair value of the Group’s assets measured at fair value are disclosed in the table in Note 18.

Fair value of assets and liabilities not measured at fair value

The Group has determined the fair value of assets and liabilities not measured at fair value, but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed.

Borrowings

For the shareholder loans and the senior debt, the fair value differs from its carrying amount because the interest payable on the loans is (partially) fixed. The borrowings qualify for the level 3 category in the fair value category due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.

The fair value of the Group’s liabilities not measured at fair value are disclosed in the table in Note 18.

Specific valuation techniques to determine fair values

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

•

interest rate cap derivative: option pricing model;

•

investment in equity securities: multiple analysis of recent transactions;

•

purchase options: option pricing model, i.e. Black-Scholes pricing model;

•

borrowings: discounted cash flow analysis using a market interest rate;

•

warrants valuation as of issuance: binomial tree framework.

Financial instruments measured at fair value (level 3)

The changes in level 3 items for the six months ended June 30, 2022 have been as follows:


(in €‘000)	Purchase options
Carrying amount at January 1, 2022		30,400
*Movements in the six months ended June 30, 2022*
Fair value gains on purchase options		3,856

Change in fair value of public warrant liabilities		(14,546	)
Transfer of public warrant liabilities into level 1		(6,713	)
Carrying amount at June 30, 2022		—

The Group uses external valuation experts to perform valuations on a periodic basis for its fair value measurements categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation inputs to the fair value of purchase options

Inputs to the fair value of the purchase options are the spot price per share, the exercise price, the risk-free rate, volatility, time to expiration and dividend yield. The following table summarizes the quantitative information about the significant unobservable input parameters used in the level 3 fair value measurement of the purchase options at the time of their derecognition or exercise in 2022, using a Black-Scholes pricing model.


	June 7, 2022		March 16, 2022
Purchase option		MOMA		Mega-E
Parameters
Spot price per share (in €)		253		437,000
Volatility		N/A		100.00	%

Given that all purchase options have either been exercised or have become substantive during the six months ended June 30, 2022, changes to significant unobservable input parameters and the result of these changes on the fair value of the options have not been disclosed.

Further details and background on the purchase options are disclosed in Note 12.

Valuation inputs to the fair value of warrant liabilities

The fair value of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a binomial tree framework at the time of their issuance (March 16, 2022) as there was no observable trade price available.

For Public Warrants, subsequent to their listing on an active market, their fair value as of June 30, 2022, is based on the observable listed quoted price (Level 1) for such warrants. For Private Placement Warrants, these were exercised on April 15, 2022 with the fair value on that date being determined based on the spot price per underlying ordinary share of Allego, which is an quoted market input.

Upon issuance, the estimated fair value of both the Public and Private Warrants was determined using Level 3 inputs as no observable market inputs were available. Inputs to the binomial framework tree are the spot price per share, risk-free interest rate, the Warrants key contractual terms and assumptions related to the Groups expected stock-price volatility and dividend yield.

Financial risk management

This note explains the Group’s exposure to financial risks and how these risks could affect the Group’s future financial performance.


Risk	Exposure arising from	Measurement	Management
Liquidity risk	Borrowings and other liabilities	Cash flow forecasts	Availability of borrowing facilities

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. The Group has been predominantly contracting customers of sound commercial standing and their payment behavior was generally good. Refer to Note 2.2 for details about the Group’s financial position and the going concern assumption applied in preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Group has pledged bank balances to secure the payment of interest and commitment fees to the Group’s external lender and bank balances pledged to secure payments to suppliers of the Group.

The main risk for the Group is not meeting the debt covenants or drawdown requirements described in Note 14. In this case, funding via the senior debt funding would not be available. The Group monitors the liquidity risk on a weekly basis. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserve (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out at Group level, in accordance with practice and limits set by the Group. In addition, the Group’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans. The Group assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low.

The Group had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities for each reporting period presented:


(in €‘000)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Expiring beyond one year - Senior debt		—		—

As indicated in Note 14, following a series of drawdowns on the senior debt bank facility during 2021, the Group has utilized the maximum amount of credit as allowed under the facility as of December 2, 2021. The senior debt

bank facility was available to be drawn if the drawdown covenants were met, in euros and has an average maturity of approximately 4.0 years (December 31, 2021: 5.0 years).

Commitments and contingencies

Purchase commitments for chargers and charging infrastructure

Significant expenditures for chargers and charging infrastructure contracted for, but not recognized as liabilities, as at June 30, 2022, were €2,627 thousand (December 31, 2021: €2,261 thousand). The Group uses these assets either as own chargers (property, plant and equipment) or as charging equipment to fulfill its obligations under EPC contracts entered into with its customers (inventory).

22.

Related-party transactions

Balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties of the Company, have been eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in this note. Details of transactions between the Group and other related parties are disclosed below.

Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties

Management services were bought from the immediate parent entity for a fixed fee. All other transactions were made on normal commercial terms and conditions and at market rates. Outstanding balances are unsecured. Asset and liability positions can either be offset or can be settled in cash. No loss allowance is recognized on these balances.

22.1 Transactions with related parties

The related party transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been as follows:


			For the six months ended June 30,
(in €‘000)	Relationship		2022		2021
*Madeleine Charging B.V.*		Immediate parent entity
Interest expenses on shareholder loans				1,741		4,247
Management fee				12		13
Reimbursement of advisory fees				280		840
Reimbursement of marketing expenses				—		1,071
Share-based payment expenses				74,001		121,932
*Mega-E Group (Mega-E Charging B.V. and its subsidiaries)*		Other related party
Revenue from contracts with related party				1,474		4,940
*EV Cars*		Other related party
Revenue from contracts with related party				18,344		—
*Voltalis*		Other related party
Revenue from contracts with related party				290		—

The transactions with Mega-E until March 16, 2022, are considered related-party transactions. The Group obtained control of Mega-E as of that date. All subsequent transactions are therefore considered to be intra-group transactions and have been eliminated in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Share-based payment expenses

On December 16, 2020, the Company’s then immediate parent entity — Madeleine — entered into a First Special Fees Agreement, under which share-based payment awards are provided to an external consulting firm. Madeleine has the obligation to settle the agreement, but the Group accounts for the First Special Fees Agreement as a share-based payment arrangement as the Group receives services from the consulting firm under the agreement. The Group does not have an obligation to settle the share-based payment awards with the consulting firm in cash or equity instruments and therefore the total arrangement is classified as an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement. On July 28, 2021, Spartan and the Company signed a BCA. Madeleine and the external consulting firm were also parties to the BCA. On February 28, 2022, the BCA was amended whereby the parties modified the thresholds of the First Special Fees Agreement that determine whether the fees payable in cash (“Part A”) to the external consulting firm will be paid in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares, contingent upon the number of redemptions that will result from the SPAC Transaction. The amendment did not change the accounting treatment of the First Special Fees Agreement, as the total First Special Fees Agreement is classified as an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement, and the amendment did not give rise to an incremental fair value of the share-based payment arrangement. Refer to Note 8.1 for details on the First Special Fees Agreement.

On February 25, 2022, the Company’s then immediate parent entity — Madeleine — entered into a Second Special Fees Agreement, under which share-based payment awards are provided to an external consulting firm. On April 20, 2022, the Second Special Fees Agreement was novated from Madeleine to Allego. Before the novation, Madeleine had the obligation to settle the agreement, and the Group accounted for the Second Special Fees Agreement as a share-based payment arrangement as the Group receives services from the consulting firm under the agreement. The Group did not have an obligation to settle the share-based payment awards with the consulting firm and therefore the total arrangement was classified as an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement. Following the novation, the Group has the obligation to settle the share-based payment awards with the consulting firm in cash and therefore the total arrangement was classified as a cash-settled share-based payment arrangement. Refer to Note 8.2 for details on the Second Special Fees Agreement.

In March 2022 the Company established the management incentive plan and during the period ended June 30, 2022, issued the grant options and the performance options to the key management. These options are classified as equity-settled share-based payment transactions as the settlements with the participants shall be done using the Company’s shares. The vested options were recognized at fair value at the issuance date as an employee benefits expense in the general and administrative expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity. Refer to Note 8.3 for details on the Management Incentive Plan.

Voltalis

Upon completion of the MOMA acquisition, Voltalis became a related party of the Group in accordance with the criteria outlined in IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures through its relationship with Meridiam SAS. Madeleine — the majority shareholder of the Company — is indirectly owned by Meridiam. Voltalis is considered to be an investment in an associate of Meridiam. Consequently, the Group and Voltalis are related parties and the related-party transactions have been disclosed in the table in this note.

23.

Subsequent events

The following events occurred after June 30, 2022:

Acquisition of Mega-E

On July 27, 2022, in connection with the Mega-E option, the Group entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire 51% of the share capital of Mega-E for a purchase consideration for the shares of €4,823 thousand and €11,936 thousand for the shareholder loan receivable between Meridiam and Mega-E.

On July 29, 2022, the Group settled the above-mentioned obligations by transferring an amount of €16,759 thousand with respect to the acquisition of Mega-E, representing the purchase consideration for the shares and the settlement of the shareholder loan between Meridiam and Mega-E.

The Group signed a letter of intent on September 5, 2022 to acquire the remaining 49% which is expected to be acquired before December 31, 2022.

Acquisition of MOMA

On July 29, 2022, the Group settled the second installment of €30 million, representing 50% of the total purchase price consideration payable for the acquisition of MOMA in accordance with the terms of the agreements.

Refinancing

On July 28, 2022, the Group expanded its existing €120 million senior debt facility by an additional €50 million through and accordion feature with Société Générale and KommunalKredit Austria (KA). Additionally, the Group received a waiver such that the Group is no longer required to pledge an amount of bank balances. In the original agreement, these bank balances were required to be pledged to secure the payment of interest and commitment fees. Consequently, these bank balances are at the free disposal of the Group. As at June 30, 2022, the amount of pledged bank balances amounted to €13 million.

Under the original terms the senior debt facility expires in May 2026. However, the Group is seeking a new expanded financing package and has mandated Société Générale as structuring bank in connection with this financing.

Exhibit 99.2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included elsewhere in this Form 6-K.

In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in (i) “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 3.D. “Risk Factors” sections included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 13, 2022 (the “Annual Report on Form 20-F”), the “Risk Factors” section of our Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-264056), originally filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 and as thereafter amended (the “Registration Statement”) and (iii) in our other filings with the SEC.

As used herein, “Allego,” the “Group” or the “Company” means (i) prior to the consummation of the business combination with Spartan Acquisition Corp. III, Allego Holding B.V. and (ii) following the consummation of the business combination with Spartan Acquisition Corp. III, Allego N.V.

Overview

Founded in 2013, Allego is a leading electric vehicle (“EV”) charging company in Europe and has deployed, as of June 30, 2022, over 34,000 charging ports across 18,000 public and private locations, spanning activities in 15 European countries. In 2018, Allego was acquired by Meridiam S.A.S (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Meridiam”), a global long-term sustainable infrastructure developer and investor, which provided necessary capital to enable the expansion of Allego’s existing global network, services and technologies. Allego’s charging network includes fast, ultra-fast, and slow charging equipment. Allego takes a two-pronged approach to delivering charging solutions, providing an owned and operated public charging network with 100% certified renewable energy in addition to charging solutions for BtoB customers, including leading retail and auto brands.

Allego’s charging solutions business provides design, installation, operations and maintenance of chargers owned by third-parties. Allego’s chargers are open to all EV brands, with the ability to charge light vehicles, vans and e-trucks, which promotes increasing utilization rates across its locations. Allego has developed a portfolio of partnerships with strategic partners, including municipalities, more than 65 real estate owners and 16 OEMs. As additional fleets shift to EVs, Allego expects to leverage its expansive network of fast and ultra-fast chargers to service these customers, which see above average use-rates.

Allego’s proprietary suite of software, developed to help identifying and assessing locations and providing uptime optimization with payment solutions, underpins Allego’s competitive advantage. Allamo^™ allows Allego to select premium charging sites to add to its network by analyzing traffic statistics and proprietary databases to forecast EV charging demand using over 100 factors, including local EV density, driving behavior and EV technology development. This allows a predictable, cutting-edge tool to optimize those locations that are best positioned for higher utilization rates.

Allego EVCloud^™ is a sophisticated chargers management platform and payment tool that provides essential services to owned and third-party customers, including charging authorization and billing, smart charging and load balancing, analysis and customer support. This service offering is integral to fleet operators’ operations and enables Allego to provide insight and value to the customer, as well as to drive increased margins through third-party service contracts and operational and maintenance margins.

Allego continues to benefit from a European EV market that, according to Allego’s estimates, is nearly twice the size of the United States’ EV market, and Allego estimates that the European EV market will have a 41% CAGR from 2021 to 2025. Based on this projection, the number of EVs in Europe is expected to grow to nearly 24 million by 2025, as compared to 6 million today. The combination of a high urbanization rate and a scarcity of in-home parking means European EV drivers require fast, public EV charging locations that provide reliable and convenient charging. As part of Allego’s expansion plans, Allego will focus on fast and ultra-fast charging locations, which maximize utilization rates, carry higher gross margins and are required by EV drivers and fleets operators.

Additionally, stringent European CO₂ regulations for internal combustion engines (“ICE”) and highly favorable incentives for electric vehicle purchases are expected to continue to drive adoption rates of EV over ICE vehicles. With a first mover advantage, a robust pipeline of over 1,100 premium sites to be equipped with fast and ultra-fast chargers, committed by legally binding agreements, Allego believes it is well-positioned to execute its growth objectives.

Recent Developments

Merger between Allego B.V. and Spartan Acquisition Corp. III (the “Business Combination”)

On March 16, 2022, the Company consummated the Business Combination, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement signed on July 28, 2021 and as thereafter amended, and became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). As part of the transaction Athena Pubco B.V., acquired the shares of Allego Holding B.V. and Spartan, changed its legal form from a private limited liability company to a public limited liability company (naamloze venootschap), changed its name to Allego N.V. and entered into the Deed of Conversion containing the Articles of Association of Allego N.V. On March 17, 2022, trading in the new public company commenced on the NYSE. The new public company, Allego N.V., trades under the Allego name under the ticker symbol “ALLG”.

Acquisition of Mega-E Charging B.V.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Allego partially exercised its call option right to acquire Mega-E Charging B.V. (“Mega-E”), a company whose main activity relates to operating charging points for vehicles in Europe as well as holding and financing its subsidiaries and associated entities. The call option provided Allego with potential voting rights which are considered substantive as of March 16, 2022, the date when all conditions outlined in the call option agreement were satisfied.

The Group has a long-standing pre-existing relationship with Mega-E, in which the parties have jointly entered into several EPC and O&M contracts to construct and operate charging stations across Europe. The acquisition of Mega-E brings critical access to new customers to the Group, as well as the creation of numerous operational synergies in the delivering EPC and O&M contracts to existing customers.

The Group has an option to pay €9.5 million to acquire Mega-E. The transaction has been accounted for as an acquisition of assets due to Mega-E not meeting the definition of a business under IFRS 3 (Business combinations). The outstanding consideration was recognized as a deferred consideration liability in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The assets and liabilities recognized as a result of the acquisition are as follows:


(in € million)	Fair value
Property, plant and equipment		88.7
Right-of-use assets		2.0
Lease liabilities		(2.0	)
Borrowings (current)		(23.4	)
Other working capital (excl. cash and cash equivalents)		1.0
Cash and cash equivalents		(0.9	)
Net identifiable assets acquired		65.3
Less: non-controlling interest		(1.3	)
Net assets acquired		64.0

The details on the determination of the fair value of the assets acquired are included in note 4 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Acquisition of MOMA

On March 26, 2021, Allego Holding B.V. (the “Purchaser”) entered into two option agreements, pursuant to which the Purchaser was entitled to purchase shares in the share capital of Modélisation, Mesures et Applications S.A. (“MOMA”), an unlisted software company that is a service provider for the Group’s EVCloud^{TM platform.}

On April 26, 2022, the Purchaser exercised its first and second option rights and on June 7, 2022, the Purchaser closed two separate share and sale purchase agreements to acquire shares representing 100% of the share capital of MOMA.

The primary reason for the acquisition of MOMA is for the Group to bring the critical support and technological knowledge provided by MOMA for its EVCloud^TM platform within its own operations. Additionally, the acquisition of MOMA brings access to new customers and new markets as well as high value-added technological solutions and services within the Group, to better meet the needs of its customers and new technological solutions. The financial results of MOMA have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition.


(in € million)	Fair value
Property, plant and equipment		0.2
Right of use asset		2.2
Other financial assets (non-current)		42.0
Trade and other receivables		5.0
Cash and cash equivalents		1.3
Prepayments		0.0
Contingent liability		(0.2	)
Deferred tax liabilities		(1.4	)
Lease liabilities		(2.2	)
Trade and other payables		(2.6	)
Net identifiable assets acquired		44.3
Add: goodwill		15.7
Net assets acquired		60.0

The details on the determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired and goodwill are included in note 4 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

From the acquisition date to June 30, 2022, the acquired business of MOMA contributed revenues of approximately €0.5 million and no net profit to the Group. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022, the Company’s consolidated revenues and consolidated net loss after tax for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 would have been €53.3 million and €243.4 million, respectively.

How Allego Generates Revenue

Allego generates its revenues through the sale of charging sessions to EV drivers and by providing charging solutions to corporate customers and municipalities. Specifically, revenue is earned through the following streams:

Revenue from Charging sessions

At charging sites, Allego sells charging sessions directly to EV drivers who access Allego’s publicly available charging points. Payments from EV drivers can be processed through direct payment or tokens that are handled by Mobility Service Providers (“MSPs”) with whom the EV driver and Allego have contracts. In the latter case, Allego charges the price of the sessions on a monthly basis to the MSPs. The Allego network can be accessed by more than 250 MSPs in Europe and through e-clearings that facilitate the interoperability of the public charging networks.

Revenue from the sale of charging equipment

Allego enters into agreements with customers for the sale of charging equipment. These contracts are generally awarded based on a proposal and business case for a certain location including traffic and other activity predictions to develop public charging point networks. Allego provides comprehensive development after site selection with a targeted internal rate of return (“IRR”). If Allego’s proposal is accepted by the customer, Allego enters into a development contract, pursuant to which Allego purchases and installs charging equipment at the relevant location.

Revenue from installation services

Installation services are provided as part of the development contract described above under “Revenue from the sale of charging equipment” as well as to corporate customers where charging equipment needs to be installed.

Revenue from operation and maintenance of charging equipment

These services include the deployment of Allego’s cloud-based platform EVCloud^TM to monitor chargers and charging sessions, collect, share and analyze charging data as well as the maintenance of the site. Generally, these contracts involve a one-off development cost but generate long-term revenues.

Depending on the requirements, Allego can organize the supply of home charging and installation for specific customers as an operation and maintenance contract and provide the information flow management that such solutions require. The range of solutions offered is standardized in terms of hardware and charging points management by Allego’s platform in order to maximize synergies with its previous activity.

Revenue from consulting services

These services are provided as the result of the MOMA acquisition. Consulting services are provided as part of the R&D platform that MOMA provides, and these services consist of providing software development for customers.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

Allego believes its performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below, in the section of our Annual Report on Form 20-F entitled Item 3.D. “Risk Factors” and in the section of the Registration Statement entitled “Risk Factors.”

Growth of EV adoption

Allego’s revenue growth is directly tied to the adoption and continued acceptance and usage of passengers and commercial EVs, which we believe drives the demand for charging infrastructure and charging services. Even though the EV market has grown rapidly in recent years, future growth is not guaranteed. Factors affecting the adoption of EVs include but are not limited to: perceptions about EV features, quality, safety, performance and cost; perceptions about the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single battery charge; availability of services for EVs; consumers’ perception about the convenience, speed and cost of EV charging; volatility in the price of gasoline and diesel; and the availability, cost and desirability of other alternative fuel vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

In addition, macroeconomic factors could impact demand for EVs, particularly since EVs can be more expensive than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. The uncertainty of the current geopolitical situation in Europe, including the military conflict in the Ukraine, and the volatility in oil and natural gas supply could drive this demand further. The current macroeconomic situation could also impact the supply of EVs given the sharp increase of required commodities in EV battery manufacturing such as copper and nickel. These factors may increase prices for EV cars more compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.

EV driver’s usage patterns

Allego’s revenues are driven by EV drivers’ driving and charging behaviors. The EV market is still developing and current behavioral patterns may not be representative of future behaviors. Key behavioral shifts may include but are not limited to: annual vehicle miles traveled, preferences for urban, suburban or exurban locations, preferences for public or private fast charging, preferences for home or workplace charging, demand from rideshare or urban delivery services, and the emergence of autonomous vehicles, micro mobility and mobility as-a-service platforms requiring EV charging services.

Competition

The EV market has become significantly more competitive in recent years. The principal factors on which industry participants compete include charger count, locations and accessibility; location visibility, including on digital platforms; charger connectivity to EVs and ability to charge all standards; speed of charging relative to expected vehicle dwell times at the location; network reliability, scale and local density; software-enabled services offering and overall customer experience; operator brand, track record and reputation; and pricing. Existing competitors may expand their product offerings and sales strategies and new competitors can enter the market. Allego intends to maintain its market share over time relative to the overall growth of EV adoption. If Allego’s market share decreases due to increased competition, its revenue and ability to generate profits in the future may be impacted.

Technology risks

The EV market is a fast-developing market which is susceptible to technology changes. Allego relies on numerous internally developed software technologies (EVCloud^TM, Smoov^TM and Allamo^TM) to operate its network and generate earnings. The ability of Allego to continue to integrate its technology stack with technological advances in the wider EV ecosystem including EV model characteristics, charging standards, charging hardware, software and battery chemistries will determine Allego’s sustained competitiveness in offering charging services. There is a risk that some or all of the components of the EV technology ecosystem become obsolete and Allego will be required to make significant investment to continue to effectively operate its business. Allego’s management believes their business model is well-positioned to enable Allego to effectively operate and allow the business to remain competitive regardless of long-term technological shifts.

Supply and price of electricity risks

Macro-economic factors regarding the supply side of EV charging equipment could negatively influence revenues of Allego. The fast-growing demand in EV driving results in increased demand on the supply side, which may cause supply chain disruptions. If Allego experiences problems meeting the increasing demands for charging equipment due to these supply chain disruptions, its revenue growth could be negatively impacted.

Allego provides electricity directly on its own chargers. Allego needs to procure this energy from the power markets in Europe. The price of electricity is highly volatile and has direct impact on the gross margin of Allego’s charging revenue. Allego has developed an energy platform to be able to diversify its supply from different sources from utilities, suppliers, power market directly and generating renewable assets. As a result of the war in Ukraine the price of gas has increased sharply, thereby increasing the demand on the European power markets with corresponding constraints in supply. This supply and demand imbalance has recently caused record increases in the price of electricity in Europe. Despite the mitigation actions we take with electricity price increases of our charging stations and our expectations that we will secure long-term power purchase agreements with renewable power on multi-year terms, we are not hedged completely and we can be then materially impacted by the high cost of electricity.

COVID-19

The impact of COVID-19, including changes in consumer and business behavior, pandemic fears, market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, has created significant volatility in the global economy and has led to reduced economic activity. The spread of COVID-19 has created supply chain disruptions for vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and hardware manufacturers, as well as impacted the capacities of installers. Any sustained downturn in demand for EVs would harm Allego’s business despite its historical growth.

Allego has modified its business practices since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic by recommending that all non-essential personnel work from home and cancelling or reducing physical participation in sales activities, meetings, events and conferences with only on-line engagements. Allego has also implemented additional safety protocols for essential workers and implemented cost cutting measures in order to reduce its operating costs, and may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees, customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners. There is no certainty that such actions will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by COVID-19 or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities. If significant portions of Allego’s workforce in the future are unable to work effectively, due to illness, quarantines,

social distancing, government actions or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, its operations will be negatively impacted. Furthermore, if significant portions of its customers’ or potential customers’ workforces are subject to stay-at-home orders or otherwise have substantial numbers of their employees working remotely for sustained periods of time, user demand for EV charging sessions and services may decline.

During 2021, the Company’s results were impacted by COVID-19. During the first quarter of 2021, traffic by EV-drivers and consumed energy levels declined as a result of COVID-19 lockdown measures imposed by governments throughout Europe. As COVID-19 lockdown measures eased, traffic by EV-drivers and consumed energy levels increased. The impact on the Group’s charging revenues correlates with these trends. Charging revenue recovered throughout the remainder of the first half-year of 2021, which continued in the second half-year of 2021 and further in the first half-year 2022. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 have not been impacted by COVID-19 to the same extent as previous periods. As COVID-19 lockdown measures eased, traffic by EV-drivers and consumed energy levels increased. The impact on the Group’s charging revenues correlates with these trends. Charging revenue recovered throughout the first half-year of 2022 compared to their 2021 level. However, the prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments. Future developments are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The COVID-19 pandemic could limit the ability of customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners to perform, including third-party suppliers’ ability to provide components and materials used for Allego’s charging stations or in providing installation or maintenance services. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, Allego may continue to experience an adverse impact on its business as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future that will have an impact on the growth of EV usage and so in the growth of EV charging demand.

Specifically, difficult macroeconomic conditions, such as decreases in per capita income and level of disposable income, increased and prolonged unemployment or a decline in consumer confidence as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as reduced spending by businesses, could each have a material adverse effect on the demand for Allego’s charging points network and services.

Key Performance Indicators

Allego regularly reviews a number of metrics to evaluate its business, measure its progress and make strategic decisions. EBITDA, Operational EBITDA and free cash flow, which are non-IFRS measures, are currently utilized by management and may be used by our investors and competitors to assess performance. See the section entitled “—Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”

Management also reviews utilization rates, which are defined as the number of charging sessions per charging point per day divided by a maximum number of charging sessions per charger per day of 50 (for the ultra-fast charging pole). Allego uses utilization rates to track profitability of the applicable charging point, to make comparisons to its business plan, and also to evaluate when it may want to consider adding charging poles to a given site to avoid increased wait times. Gathering information on utilization rates also enables Allego to improve its forecasting abilities in the future.

Allego believes these measures assist its investors in gaining a meaningful understanding of its performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations or definitions, Allego’s presentation of these key performance indicators, including non-IFRS measures, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Utilization Rate

The following table represents the overall utilization rate (which includes slow, fast and ultra-fast chargers) of Allego’s charging network for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.


	For the six months ended June 30,
(in € million)	2022			2021
Utilization rate		9.47	%		6.03	%

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the utilization rate increased as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to an increase in the number of charging sessions on all charger types.

Key Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Allego’s revenues are generated across various revenue streams. The majority of Allego’s revenue is generated from charging sessions on its charging points and the sale and installation of charging equipment. Charging sessions revenue includes the revenues related to charging sessions at charging equipment owned by Allego or corporate third-parties. Allego also supplies electricity to owners and drivers of electric vehicles which use a charge card issued by an MSP or credit card to pay for these services. Agreements related to the sale and installation of charging equipment are arranged via a development contract under which Allego purchases and installs charging equipment at the relevant location. In addition, Allego generates revenues from the operation and maintenance of charging equipment and lastly, Allego generates revenue from consulting services.

Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expenses)

Cost of sales represents the electricity cost for the charging revenues which is billed to Allego by utility companies. Cost of sales related to development contracts consists of the cost of charging equipment and the third-party service cost for the installation services including the establishment of the grid connection. Cost of sales related to the operations and maintenance contracts mainly consists of the third-party service cost.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit is revenue less cost of sales. Gross margin is gross profit (loss) as a percentage of revenue.

Other income

Other income consists of government grants, income from the sale of certificates (linked to CO₂ emission offsets), the net gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment, sublease rental income, fair value gains/(losses) on derivatives (purchase options) and other items. Government grants are related to the development of the EV charging infrastructure networks in the EU and represent the reimbursement of incurred expenses. Certificates in the Netherlands (called “HBE”) are issued by a Dutch government agency and are part of a program to stimulate the use of energy efficient and clean transportation. Allego is periodically granted a certificate based on the number of kWh of green energy that has been sold to customers. A similar mechanism is in place in Germany. Allego sells such certificates to companies that are required to offset their use of non-green energy through a brokerage. Fair value gains/(losses) on derivatives (purchase options) relate to MOMA and Mega-E purchase options. Other items mainly relate to reimbursements from (energy) network operators with respect to the power grid connections used. At the end of the year, Allego is reimbursed based on the actual usage of grid connections.

Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses relate to Allego’s sales function and mainly comprise employee benefits, depreciation charges, marketing and communication costs, housing and facility costs, travelling costs and other selling and distribution expenses.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses relate to Allego’s support functions and mainly comprise employee benefits, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges, IT costs, housing and facility costs, travelling costs, fees incurred from third parties and other general and administrative expenses.

Operating loss

Operating loss consists of Allego’s gross profit less other income, selling and distribution expenses and general and administrative expenses.

Finance costs

Finance costs primarily consist of interest expenses on senior debt facility and shareholder loans, including the interest on lease liabilities and provisions, exchange differences and fair value gains and losses on derivatives and warrants.

Loss before income tax

Loss before income tax consists of Allego’s operating loss plus finance costs.

Income tax

Income tax represents the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable profit or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted for the period.

Revenue

Revenue was €50.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to €20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Revenue increased by €30.3 million, or 148.3%.

Charging sessions revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by €13.0 million, or 118.0%, to €24.0 million compared to €11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to a 31.8% increase in charging points as well as an increase in the utilization of the chargers. As of June 30, 2022, Allego operated charging stations predominantly in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. The charging stations installed pre-2022 have seen an increase in charging sessions which contributed to the charging revenue increase. The stations installed after June 30, 2021 led to a revenue increase of €2.4 million

compared to the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Furthermore, the average revenue per session for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by 12.3% compared to the same period in 2021, which was caused by the increased average blended charging price and kWh consumption per session. The consumption increase is caused by a growing number of new cars with extended battery capacity being sold during the period.

Service revenue increased for all service related revenue streams. Service revenue from the sale of charging equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by €14.1 million, or 326.3%, to €18.4 million compared to €4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Service revenue from installation services increased by €2.3 million, or 61.5%, from €3.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2021 to €6.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. Service revenue from operation and maintenance of charging equipment increased by €0.4 million, or 30.8%, from €1.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2021 to €1.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. Lastly, service revenue from consulting services increased by €0.5 million, from €nil for the year ended June 30, 2021 to €0.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. The overall increase in service revenue was mainly driven by increased service revenue from our EV cars partnership with Carrefour. The consulting revenue increased as a result of the acquisition of MOMA.

Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expenses)

Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by €27.5 million, or 200.7%, to €41.2 million compared to €13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cost of sales is predominantly due to the increase in revenue.

During 2022, Allego continued to expand its portfolio of chargers, which led to a decrease in the cost per session due to the fixed maintenance costs being divided over a larger number of chargers and a larger number of charging sessions. However, this positive impact was offset because the cost of sales increased at a faster pace than revenue. This is due to increased energy costs and the mix of projects for the first half of 2022 being different from the same period in 2021 when higher gross margin projects were completed.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by €2.8 million, or 41.2%, to €9.5 million compared to €6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Despite the increase in gross profit, which is driven by the overall increase in revenue, the gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of 18.7% decreased compared to the gross margin recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of 32.9%. This is due to the period over period increase in cost of sales, increased energy costs and fluctuations in the marginality of the projects as detailed above.

Other income

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by €6.4 million, or 252.2%, to €9.0 million compared to €2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in other income is mostly due to a €2.9 million increase in sale of certificates as well as an increase in fair value gains on derivative purchase options of €3.6 million.

Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by €0.6 million, or 48.6%, to €1.7 million compared to €1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to increased wages and salaries expense.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by €134.9 million, or 93.6% to €278.9 million compared to €144.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in general and administrative expenses is mostly due to €159.3 million share-based payment expenses related to the Business Combination Agreement.

Operating Loss

Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by €126.3 million, or 93.0% to €262.1 million compared to €135.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in operating loss is mostly due to higher general and administrative expenses as detailed above.

Finance costs

Finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by €22.5 million, or 309.0%, to a gain of €15.2 million compared to a loss of €7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in finance costs is mostly due to a fair value gain on private placements warrants and public warrants of €7.1 million and €14.5 million, respectively.

Loss before income tax

Loss before income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by €103.8 million, or 72.5% to €246.9 million compared to €143.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Although revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2022, this is offset by increased cost of sales and general and administrative expenses as explained above, resulting in an increased loss before income tax.

Income tax

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 Allego realized profits on its operations in Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Norway and Portugal, which are taxable under the respective local tax laws. Therefore, Allego has recorded an income tax expense of €0.2 million with respect to its profits in abovementioned countries. The decrease in income tax expense of €0.4 million or 73.0% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 income tax of €0.6 million is due to the effect of the intercompany transfer pricing model within the Group, under which the operational activities in the local jurisdictions are remunerated on either a fixed Cost-Plus or Return-on-Sales basis.

Loss for the period

Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by €103.4 million, or 71.9% to €247.1 million compared to €143.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to all factors described above.

Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Group’s scale of operations

The Group’s strategy requires significant capital expenditures, as well as investments in building the Group’s organization aimed at increasing the scale of its operations. Start-up losses are inherently associated with the business as charging points need to become known to users. As a result, the Group incurred losses during the first years of its operations and expects to continue to incur losses in the next twelve to eighteen months. Therefore, the Group relies heavily on financing from its existing shareholder and banks to finance its operations and scale-up the business. Further envisioned growth, in line with the Group’s strategy, will require additional significant investments.

Financial position of the Group

As of June 30, 2022, the losses incurred during the first years of its operations were offset by equity contributions from 2022 and resulted in a positive equity of €97.6 million (December 31, 2021: negative €76.6 million) and cash and cash equivalents of €29.8 million (December 31, 2021: €24.7 million). The Group’s operations have been funded by borrowings from the Company’s shareholders and banks, as well as the proceeds from the Business Combination. In the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022, the carrying value of the borrowings amounts to €114.6 million (December 31, 2021: €213.1 million).

Impact of COVID-19

The results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 have been not been impacted by COVID-19 to the same extent as previous periods. As COVID-19 lockdown measures eased, traffic by EV-drivers and consumed energy levels increased. The impact on the Group’s charging revenues correlate with these trends. Charging revenue recovered throughout the first half-year of 2022 compared to the 2021 level. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Group did not receive COVID-19 related government support or any COVID-19 related rent concessions.

Financing

On May 27, 2019, the Group entered into a senior debt bank facility (the “facility”), totaling €120 million, with Société Générale and KommunalKredit (the “lenders”). During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Group completed three drawdowns on the facility for a total amount of €44.3 million. As a result of these drawdowns, the Group has utilized the maximum amount of credit as allowed under the facility as of December 2, 2021. The facility, which will expire in May 2026, includes loan covenants based on increasing performance criteria related to EBITDA, revenue and interest expenses determined in accordance with Dutch GAAP. As the Group recently transitioned to IFRS, the loan covenants may be revisited with the lenders as per the facility agreement.

For all reporting periods presented, the Group met its covenants that were determined in accordance with Dutch GAAP and as disclosed in Note 14 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Group has analyzed the covenants based on its forecasted period of 12 months after June 30, 2022 and expects to continue to meet the increasing performance criteria outlined in the prevailing loan covenants. The Group notes that there is uncertainty with achieving its forecast and therefore compliance with the covenants in the future as there is limited headroom. In case of a breach and the borrowings become on-demand the Group expects to have access to mitigating actions by negotiating waivers based on discussions with the banks and historical results of obtaining waivers and the good relationships with the banks. In addition, on July 28, 2022, the Group has expanded its existing €120.0 million senior debt facility by an additional €50.0 million through and accordion feature with Société Générale and KommunalKredit Austria (KA). Additionally, the Group has received a waiver such that the Group is no longer required to pledge an amount of bank balances. In the original agreement, these bank balances were required to be pledged to secure the payment of interest and commitment fees. Consequently, these bank balances are at the free disposal of the Group. As at June 30, 2022, the amount of pledged bank balances amounted to €13 million. Under the original terms the senior debt facility expires in May 2026. However, the Group is seeking a new expanded financing package.

In addition, the Company’s previous sole shareholder had issued loans to the Group. The principal and accrued interest of the shareholder loans were converted to equity as part of the completion of the Business Combination on March 16, 2022. A new shareholder loan was recognized in 2022 as a result of the consolidation of Mega-E following the related purchase option becoming substantive as a result of the Business Combination.

The Group completed the Business Combination on March 16, 2022. The completion of the merger yielded in proceeds of €146.0 million. These proceeds were received in exchange of Allego shares that were issued with respect to the common stock Private Investment in Public Entity (“PIPE”) offering and cash held in trust by Spartan after redemptions. The Group continues to seek for additional funding solutions to accelerate future growth and expansion.

Refer to Note 14 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022 for information on the terms and conditions of the senior debt bank facility and the shareholder loans and for information on loan covenants related to the senior debt bank facility.

Liquidity forecasts

Management prepares detailed liquidity forecasts and monitors cash and liquidity forecasts on a continuous basis. The liquidity forecast incorporates current cash levels, revenue projections and a detailed capital expenditures and operating expenses budget. Cash flows are monitored closely, and the Group invests in new stations, chargers and grid connections only if the Group has secured financing for such investments. These forecasts reflect potential scenarios and management plans and are dependent on securing significant contracts and related revenues. The liquidity forecasts incorporate any (new) potential impact from the COVID-19 outbreak and are regularly updated, given the rapidly evolving nature and uncertain broader consequences of the pandemic.

The Group requires additional financing for additional development activities and operations. Management planned to finance these investments and costs with the drawdowns on its senior debt facility that were completed during the second half-year of 2021, and with the proceeds from the U.S. public listing through a merger between the Company and Spartan that was completed in the first quarter of 2022.

As a result of the Business Combination, the Group received €146.0 million ($161.0 million³ of gross proceeds⁴). Refer to Note 4 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022 for more details on the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2022, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of €29.8 million.

The completion of the merger yielded in proceeds of €146.0 million. Since the completion of the Business Combination, the Group has funded further development activities and its operations. On June 7, 2022, the Group entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of MOMA, an unlisted software company. On June 7, 2022, the Group paid 50% of the purchase price of €60 million. On July 29, 2022, the Group has settled the second installment of €30 million, representing the remaining 50% of the total purchase price consideration payable for the acquisition in accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement. On July 27, 2022, the Group entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire 51% of the share capital of Mega-E for a purchase consideration for the shares of €4.8 million and €11.9 million for the shareholder loan receivable between Meridiam and Mega-E. On July 29, 2022, the Group has settled the above-mentioned obligations. The Group signed a letter of intent to acquire the remaining 49% which is expected to be acquired before December 31, 2022. These acquisitions were financed by the proceeds from the SPAC transaction, the extension of the existing senior debt facility and a release of a commitment to maintain a cash amount.

³	Translated at the EUR/USD exchange rate as at March 16, 2022.

⁴	Gross proceeds: not inclusive of transaction expenses.

Additionally, we will receive the proceeds from any exercise of any Warrants in cash. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share. The aggregate amount of proceeds could be up to $158,699,402 if all Warrants are exercised for cash. We expect to use any such proceeds for general corporate purposes, which would increase our liquidity, but do not need such proceeds to fund our operations. We believe the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the market price of our Ordinary Shares. If the market price for our Ordinary Shares is less than $11.50 per share, we believe warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Warrants. As of September 29, 2022, the closing price of our Ordinary Shares was $4.52.

The Group will be required to seek additional financing to continue to execute its growth strategy and business plan in the long-term. Securing additional funding — by raising additional equity or debt financing — is important for the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, there is no assurance that the Group will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

Cash flows

The cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are presented below and compared with the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021:


	Six months ended June 30,
(in € million)	2022			2021
Cash flows used in operating activities		(95.4	)		(16.1	)
Cash flows used in investing activities		(41.8	)		(8.9	)
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities		142.4			22.8
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		5.1			(2.2	)

Cash flows used in operating activities

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was €95.4 million compared to cash used in operating activities of €16.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the cash used in operating activities primarily consisted of a net loss before income tax of €246.9 million, reduced by non-operating elements of €232.7 million, an increase in net operating assets of €77.4 million, interest paid of €3.5 million and income taxes paid of €0.3 million. The most important non-operating elements relate to finance costs, fair value gains on public and private warrants, fair value gain on derivatives, share-based payment expenses and depreciation and amortization costs of €6.1 million, €21.7 million, €3.9 million, €241.3 million and €10.8 million, respectively. The increase in net operating assets was due to an increase of €24.4 million in trade and other receivables, contract assets, prepayments and other assets, an increase of €8.0 million in inventory, an increase of €1.0 million in other financial assets, a decrease in trade and other payables and contract liabilities of €43.9 million and a decrease in provisions of €0.1 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the cash used in operating activities primarily consisted of a net loss of €143.1 million, reduced by non-operating elements of € 134.5 million, an increase in net operating assets of €4.6 million, interest paid of €2.7 million and income taxes paid of €0.2 million. The primary non-operating elements relate to finance costs, share-based payment expenses and depreciation and amortization costs of €6.9 million, €121.9 million and €5.7 million respectively. The increase in net operating assets was mainly due to an increase of €23.1 million in trade and other receivables, contract assets, prepayments and other assets, an increase in other financial assets of €2.0 million and a decrease in provisions of €0.3 million. This is partially offset by an increase in trade and other payables and contract liabilities of €21.1 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was €41.8 million compared to cash used in investing activities of €8.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to cash outflows related to the acquisition of MOMA of €28.7 million and due to an increase in the purchases of intangible assets of €1.3 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in the purchases of property, plant and equipment of €2.9 million, a net cash inflow of €0.9 million related to the acquisition of Mega-E and a decrease in payments of derivative premiums of €1.5 million.

Cash flows provided by financing activities

Cash from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was €142.4 million compared to cash from financing activities of €22.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to an increase in proceeds from issuing equity instruments of €146.1 million. This was partially offset by an increase in the payment of principal portion of lease liabilities of €1.9 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Significant expenditures for charging stations and charging infrastructure contracted for, but not recognized as liabilities, as at June 30, 2022 amounted to €2.6 million (December 31, 2021: €2.3 million). Allego uses these assets either as its own charging stations (property, plant and equipment) or as charging equipment to fulfil its obligations under development contracts entered into with its customers (inventory). Allego is not a party to any other off-balance sheet arrangements.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This report includes the following non-IFRS financial measures: “EBITDA”, “Operational EBITDA” and “free cash flow”. Allego believes EBITDA, Operational EBITDA and free cash flow are useful to investors in evaluating Allego’s financial performance. In addition, Allego uses these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets, and operational goals to manage and monitor its business. Allego believes that these non-IFRS financial measures help to depict a more realistic representation of the performance of the underlying business, enabling Allego to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future. Allego believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that its management uses in analyzing operating results.

Allego defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Allego defines Operational EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for reorganization and severance costs, certain business optimization costs, lease buyouts, bonus payments to consultants, transaction costs, share-based payment expenses and fair value gains/(losses) on derivatives (purchase options). Allego defines free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures and adjusted for proceeds from investment grants.

EBITDA, Operational EBITDA and free cash flow are not prepared in accordance with IFRS and may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies. These measures should not be considered as measures of financial performance under IFRS, and the items excluded from or included in these metrics are significant components in understanding and assessing Allego’s financial performance. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. The following unaudited table presents the reconciliation of loss for the period, the most directly comparable IFRS measure to EBITDA and Operational EBITDA and the reconciliation of Net cash flows from/(used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable IFRS measure to free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of Allego’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures with respect to contingent liabilities and assets at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Certain of Allego’s accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an ongoing basis, Allego evaluates its estimates including those related to charging station depreciable lives, impairment of financial assets, share-based compensation and the recognition of deferred tax assets. These judgments are based on Allego’s historical experience, terms of its existing contracts, evaluation of trends in the industry, information provided by its clients and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. Allego’s actual results may differ from those estimates. See Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for additional description of the significant accounting policies that have been followed in preparing Allego’s financial statements. The accounting policies described below are those Allego considers to be the most critical to an understanding of its financial condition and results of operations and that require the most complex and subjective management judgment.

Revenue Recognition

Allego recognizes revenue from the following activities:

•

Revenue from charging sessions;

•

Revenue from the sale of charging equipment to customers;

•

Revenue from installation services;

•

Revenue from the operation and maintenance of charging equipment owned by customers;

•

Revenue from consulting services

Charging sessions: Charging revenue, which includes electricity price and a service fee, is recognized at a point in time, at the moment of charging, when the control of electricity is transferred to the customer. Allego is acting as a principal in charging transactions as it has primary responsibility for these services and discretion in establishing the price of electricity. Allego is considered an agent in charging transactions for charging equipment owned by third-parties as Allego does not have control over electricity.

Sale of charging equipment: Allego has determined that the sale and installation of the equipment constitutes two distinct performance obligations since the integration of both performance obligations is limited, the installation is relatively straight forward, and these installation services can be provided by other suppliers as well. These separate performance obligations are both sold on a stand-alone basis and are distinct within the context of the contract. When the contract includes multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling prices. Where such stand-alone selling prices are not directly observable, these are estimated based on expected cost-plus margin. Revenue from the sale of charging equipment is recognized at a point in time when control of the charging equipment is transferred to the customer. Depending on the terms and conditions of the contract, this can be:

•

the moment when the customer has the legal title and the physical possession of the charging equipment once the delivery on premise takes place; or

•

the moment when the customer has not taken physical possession of the charging equipment and the delivery on premise has not taken place, but the customer has requested Allego to hold onto the charging equipment, and has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the charging equipment

Installation services: Revenue from installation of charging equipment is recognized over time. Allego uses an input method in measuring progress of the installation services because there is a direct relationship between Allego’s effort and the transfer of service to the customer. The input method is based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date in proportion to the total estimated costs for the services to be provided.

Operation and maintenance of charging equipment: Service revenue from operation and maintenance services of charging equipment owned by customers is recognized over time. Services include the deployment of Allego’s cloud based platform to monitor chargers and charging sessions, collect, share and analyze charging data as well as the maintenance of the site. Customers are invoiced monthly, and consideration is payable when invoiced. Allego recognizes revenue only when the performance obligation is satisfied, therefore any upfront billing and payments are accounted for as an advance payment.

Consulting services: The Group recognizes revenue from providing consulting services. Revenue from providing consulting services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. Revenue is recognized over time using the input variable method as a measure of progress. In the case of fixed-price contracts, the customer pays the fixed amount based on a payment schedule. If the services rendered by the Group exceed the payments, a contract asset is recognized. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognized.

Valuation of share-based payment awards

A share-based payment arrangement is provided to an external consulting firm via a Special Fees Agreement. Information relating to this agreement between Madeleine and the consulting firm is set out in the audited consolidated financial statements. The fair value of the share-based payment arrangement granted under the Special Fees Agreement is recognized as an expense, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, including market performance conditions. The fair value excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.

For the special fee’s arrangement, the expense is recognized over the service period. Allego may revise its estimate of the length of the service period, if necessary, if subsequent information indicates that the length of the service period differs from previous estimates. This may result in the reversal of expenses if the estimated service period is extended.

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model and making assumptions about them. For the measurement of the fair value of equity-settled transactions with an external consulting firm under the Special Fees Agreement at the

grant date, Allego uses a valuation model which takes into account how the fees payable in cash and equity instruments will depend on the equity value of Allego at the time of a future liquidity event as defined in the Special Fees Agreement. The assumptions and model used for estimating the fair value for share-based payment transactions under the Special Fees Agreement are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, Allego assesses an asset or a group of assets for impairment whenever there is an indication that the carrying amounts of the asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. In such event Allego compares the assets or group of assets carrying value with its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal. Allego uses a discounted cashflow (“DCF”) model to determine the value-in-use. The cash flow projections contain assumptions and estimates of future expectations. This value in use is determined using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period, cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a growth rate and the future cash flows are discounted. The value in use amount is sensitive to the discount rate used in the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are carried on the basis of the tax consequences of the realization or settlement of assets, provisions, liabilities or accruals and deferred income as planned by Allego at the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available for set-off. In this assessment, Allego includes the availability of deferred tax liabilities set-off, the possibility of planning of fiscal results and the level of future taxable profits in combination with the time and/or period in which the deferred tax assets are realized.

Valuation of purchase options

During the year ended December 31, 2021, Allego entered into two purchase option agreements to acquire an unlisted software company and into a purchase option agreement to acquire Mega-E. The fair value of the purchase options recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active stock markets. Their fair value is therefore measured using an option pricing model, i.e. Black-Scholes pricing model. The inputs to this model are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing the fair value. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as the market value of the underlying assets (i.e., spot price per share) and volatility. Changes in assumptions relating to these factors could affect the reported fair value of the purchase options.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the preparation and audit of Allego’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, material weaknesses were identified in its internal control over financial reporting. See Item 15. “Controls and Procedures” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F and “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement.
