Important Information and Where to Find It

This document relates to a proposed transaction between ReNew and RMG II. This document does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. ReNew Global filed a registration statement on Form F-4 on May 17, 2021 that includes a proxy statement of RMG II and a prospectus of ReNew Global. The proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all RMG II shareholders. RMG II also will file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC.
