Marathon Capital Advises Amp Americas on RNG Production Facilities

Marathon Capital, LLC (“Marathon”) is pleased to announce the investment in Amp Americas’ (“Amp”) renewable natural gas (“RNG”) production facilities by
an undisclosed infrastructure investor. Sparkstone Capital Advisors worked as a co-advisor with Marathon Capital on the sale process.

Marathon led discussions on the opportunity with potential bidders and educated several parties on the RNG production process as well as the Renewable
Identification Numbers (“RINs”) and Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) market. The RNG facilities were the first of their kind to produce RNG that qualified
for both RINs under the Renewable Fuels Standard (“RFS”) and LCFS.

“This work came as a result of Marathon’s strategic interest in RNG and demonstrates our capabilities in the space. We look forward to being an integral
part of this rapidly growing industry.” – Gary Greenblatt, Managing Director & Co-Head of New York Office, Marathon Capital.

“Marathon Capital’s experience in the renewable fuels markets allowed them to truly understand our unique value proposition and we are thrilled at the
outcome of this transaction. We are excited to play a part in RNG’s transformation of the renewable fuels market, while strengthening local agricultural
communities and benefiting the environment.” – Grant Zimmerman, CEO, Amp Americas.
