PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

References to “we,” “us,” or the Company are to GSC Acquisition Company in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

GSC Acquisition Company is a blank check company formed on October 26, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or assets, which we refer to as our initial Business Combination. Our efforts in identifying a prospective target business have not been limited to a particular industry. Instead we have focused on industries and target businesses in the United States and Europe that may provide significant opportunity for growth. As discussed below, on May 9, 2008 we entered into an agreement and plan of merger for a proposed initial Business Combination; we have not yet consummated our initial Business Combination and there can be no assurance that we will consummate an initial Business Combination with Complete Energy or any other target business.

The registration statement for our initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective June 25, 2007. On June 28, 2007, we consummated a private placement of 4,000,000 warrants (the “Initial Founder’s Warrants”) to GSC Secondary Interest Fund, LLC, our founding stockholder (the “Founding Stockholder”), at $1.00 per Initial Founder’s Warrant generating gross proceeds of $4.0 million (the “Private Placement”). On June 29, 2007, our IPO of 20,700,000 units (“Units”) was consummated, including 2,700,000 Units subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and one warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase one share of Common Stock. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $207.0 million.

A total of approximately $201.7 million, including $191.5 million of the IPO proceeds net of the underwriters’ discount and commission of $14.5 million and offering costs of $1.0 million, $4.0 million from the sale of warrants to the Founding Stockholder and $6.2 million of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, has been placed in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company serving as trustee. The $6.2 million deferred underwriting discounts and commissions are not be payable unless and until we complete a Business Combination. The underwriters have waived their right to receive such payment upon our liquidation if we are unable to complete a Business Combination. Such amount of $6.2 million is included as deferred underwriting discount on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008. Except for a portion of the interest income permitted to be released to us, the proceeds held in trust will not be released from the trust account until the earlier of the completion of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. Under the terms of the investment management trust agreement, up to a total of $2.4 million of interest income (net of taxes payable) could be released to us, subject to availability. As of December 31, 2008, all of the available $2.4 million had been released to us in accordance with these terms and the balance in the trust account was approximately $203.5 million.

All activity through December 31, 2008 relates to the formation of the Company, our IPO, efforts to identify prospective target businesses and our negotiation and execution of the Merger Agreement referred to below and our efforts to consummate the merger thereunder. We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any substantive commercial business until we consummate a Business Combination. We intend to utilize our cash, including the funds held in the trust account, capital stock, debt or a combination of the foregoing in effecting a Business Combination.

owns 100% of Holdings I, which owns 100% of Holdings II, which owns 100% of Merger Sub. Complete Energy owns and operates two natural gas-fired combined cycle power generation facilities, the 1,022 MW La Paloma generating facility (“La Paloma”) and the 837 MW Batesville generating facility (“Batesville”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will indirectly acquire Complete Energy by way of a merger of Merger Sub into Complete Energy, with Complete Energy being the surviving entity and thereby becoming an indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

In connection with the proposed Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of the Company will be converted into one share of Class A common stock of the Company (collectively, the “Class A Shares”). Upon consummation of the Merger, the current owners of Complete Energy would generally receive Class B units in Holdings I, which have economic rights similar to the Class A Shares but no voting rights (the “Class B Units”), and an equal number of shares of Class B common stock in the Company, which have voting rights but no economic rights (the “Class B Shares”). In addition, the current owners of Complete Energy would receive Class C units and Class D units in Holdings I, which would entitle the holders to receive additional Class B Units and Class B Shares if the Company’s stock price reaches $14.50 or $15.50 per share for 10 consecutive trading days, respectively, in each case within five years after the closing. Each Class B Unit plus one Class B Share would be exchangeable into one newly issued Class A Share. Certain of the owners of Complete Energy shares may receive the non-contingent portion of their merger consideration in the form of Class A Shares in lieu of Class B Units and Class B Shares.

The aggregate consideration to be paid in the Merger and related transactions is based upon a total enterprise value for Complete Energy of $1.3 billion, comprised of $900 million for Complete Energy’s La Paloma facility and $400 million for its Batesville facility, in each case adjusted for its cash and debt balances at closing and certain minority interests. The number of Class B Units and Class B Shares (or Class A Shares) to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be calculated using a price per share of the Company’s common stock equal to the lesser of $10.00 and the average closing price per share for the 20 trading days ending three business days before the closing of the Merger.

The Merger and related transactions have been unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors and the holders of all of the membership interests in Complete Energy that are required for such approval, but are subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders, including a majority of the shares of common stock of the Company issued in its IPO. In addition, the Merger may not be completed if holders of more than 20% of the shares sold in the IPO vote against the merger and properly exercise their conversion rights, as set forth in the Company’s certificate of incorporation. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by either the Company or Complete Energy by written notice to the other party. There can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated.

For a more complete discussion of our proposed Business Combination, including the risks relating to the proposed acquisition of Complete Energy, see our preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2008, as amended on October 10, 2008. The proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is preliminary and will be amended prior to any mailing of a definitive proxy statement to stockholders.

We do not expect that the Merger and related transactions will be consummated without amending the Merger Agreement and related documents, if at all. We are exploring alternatives for restructuring the proposed Merger with the goal of consummating the Merger, after such restructuring, by June 25, 2009. On February 25, 2009, we, our subsidiaries and Complete Energy executed a waiver agreement under the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which certain exclusivity provisions of the Merger Agreement were waived, allowing us, Complete Energy and our respective affiliates and representatives to, among other things, initiate discussions with third parties concerning a merger, sale or other business combination, provided that neither we nor Complete Energy, nor any of our respective affiliates or representatives, will enter into a contract with respect to such a transaction without the consent of the other. As a result of the waiver agreement, we may solicit or initiate discussions with, and enter into negotiations with, other potential target businesses in an effort to consummate an initial Business Combination.

Selection of a target business and structuring of a Business Combination

As noted above, we have identified Complete Energy as the proposed target business for our initial Business Combination. If we determine that we are unlikely to consummate our initial Business Combination with Complete Energy, we may seek to identify a different target business and to consummate an initial Business Combination with such target business by June 25, 2009. In that case, our efforts in identifying prospective target businesses would not be limited to a particular industry. Instead, we would focus on various industries and target businesses in the United States and Europe that may provide significant opportunities for growth. We anticipate that target business candidates would be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers, venture capital funds, private equity funds, leveraged buyout funds, management buyout funds and other members of the financial community. Our officers and directors as well as their affiliates might also bring to our attention target business candidates. In no event will we pay the Founding

Stockholder, any of our officers, directors or GSC Group or our or their affiliates for any finder’s fees, reimbursements or cash payments or other compensation for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, other than a payment of an aggregate of $7,500 per month to GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of our Founding Stockholder for office space, secretarial and administrative services; and reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to our IPO or identifying, investigating and consummating an initial Business Combination. Our audit committee will review and approve all payments made to our Founding Stockholder, officers, directors or our or their affiliates, other than the $7,500 per month payment described in the prior sentence, and any payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with an existing operating company. As used herein, a “target business” shall mean one or more businesses or assets that, at the time of our initial Business Combination, has a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts of $6.2 million) described below and a “Business Combination” shall mean the acquisition by the Company through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar Business Combination, of such target business. As discussed in Note 7, the Company has identified Complete Energy as its prospective target business.

Subject to the requirement that our initial Business Combination must be with a business that satisfies the criteria of a target business at the time of such initial Business Combination, our management has virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business (subject to the exclusivity provisions of the Merger Agreement). However, we will only consummate a Business Combination in which we become the controlling shareholder of the target. The key factors that we will rely on in determining controlling shareholder status would be our acquisition of at least 51% of the voting equity interests of the target company and control of the majority of any governing body of the target company. We will not consider any transaction that does not meet such criteria. In addition, we will not enter into our initial Business Combination with any entity in which any of our officers, directors or GSC Group or its affiliates has a financial interest.

In evaluating any prospective target business if we do not pursue an initial Business Combination with Complete Energy, our management will consider a variety of criteria and guidelines, including the following:

·	financial condition and results of operations;

·	growth potential;

·	brand recognition and potential;

·	experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel;

·	capital requirements;

·	stage of development of the business and its products or services;

·	existing distribution arrangements and the potential for expansion;

·	degree of current or potential market acceptance of the products or services;

·	proprietary aspects of products and the extent of intellectual property or other protection for products or formulas;

·	impact of regulation on the business;

·	seasonal sales fluctuations and the ability to offset these fluctuations through other Business Combinations, introduction of new products, or product line extensions;

·	costs associated with effecting the Business Combination;

·	industry leadership, sustainability of market share and attractiveness of market sectors in which target business participates;

·	degree to which GSC Group’s investment professionals have investment experience and have had success in the target business’s industry;

·	ability for GSC Group to add value post Business Combination; and

·	macro competitive dynamics in the industry within which each company competes.

These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial Business Combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by our management to our business objective. In evaluating any additional prospective target business, we expect to conduct an extensive due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial and other information which will be made available to us.

The time required to select and evaluate any additional potential target business and to structure (or in the case of the Merger Agreement, restructure) and complete an initial Business Combination, and the costs associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. We expect that due diligence of any additional prospective target businesses will be performed by some or all of our officers, directors and GSC Group investment professionals. We may engage market research firms or third-party consultants to assist us with performing due diligence and valuations of any target business. To date, we have incurred costs in our efforts to identify and evaluate potential target businesses and in negotiating and executing the Merger Agreement. To the extent we decide to pursue a target business other than Complete Energy, we will incur additional costs with respect to the identification and evaluation of such a prospective target business. The costs incurred, and that we may incur, in evaluating prospective target businesses with which an initial Business Combination is not ultimately completed reduce the funds we can use to complete an initial Business Combination.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

As noted above, the initial target business that we acquire must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts of $6.2 million) at the time of such acquisition. The fair market value of such business will be determined by our board of directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value). Should we decide to pursue another target business, if our board is not able to independently determine that the target business has a sufficient fair market value, we will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. We will not be required to obtain an opinion from an investment banking firm as to the fair market value if our board of directors independently determines that the target business has sufficient fair market value.

Lack of business diversification

While we may seek to effect Business Combinations with more than one target business if we do not pursue an initial Business Combination with Complete Energy, our initial Business Combination must involve one or more target businesses whose collective fair market value meets the criteria discussed above at the time of such initial Business Combination. Consequently, we expect to complete only a single Initial Business Combination, although this could entail a simultaneous combination with several operating businesses. At the time of our initial Business Combination, we may not be able to acquire more than one target business because of various factors, including complex accounting or financial reporting issues. For example, we may need to present pro forma financial statements reflecting the operations of several target businesses as if they had been combined historically.

A simultaneous combination with several target businesses also presents logistical issues, such as the need to coordinate the timing of negotiations, proxy statement disclosure and closings. In addition, if conditions to closings with respect to one or more of the target businesses are not satisfied, the fair market value of the businesses could fall below the required fair market value threshold described above.

Accordingly, while it is possible that our initial Business Combination may involve more than one target business, we are more likely to choose a single target business if all other factors appear equal. This means that for an indefinite period of time, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance of a single target business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete Business Combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business. By consummating our initial Business Combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, in the particular industry in which we operate after our initial Business Combination.

If we complete our initial Business Combination structured as a merger in which the consideration is our stock, we could have a significant amount of cash available to make subsequent add-on acquisitions.

Limited ability to evaluate the target business’s management

We will independently evaluate the quality and experience of the existing management of any other target business we may choose to consider, and will make an assessment as to whether or not they should be replaced on a case-by-case basis. As an example, a company in weak financial condition may be experiencing difficulties because of its capitalization and not because of its operations, in which case operating management may not need to be replaced.

Although we would intend to closely scrutinize the management of any additional prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting an initial Business Combination with that business, we cannot assure you that our assessment of any such target business’s management will prove to be correct. In addition, we cannot assure you that management of such target business will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of our officers and directors, if any, in such a target business cannot be stated with any certainty. While it is possible that one or more of our officers and directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial Business Combination, we would expect that a final determination of their continued involvement with the business upon completion of an initial Business Combination would be made jointly with our board of directors and based on the facts and circumstances at the time. The goal of our board of directors will be to ensure that they select the best management team to pursue our business strategy. If they determine that the incumbent management of an acquired business should be replaced and that one or more of our officers and directors is the best available replacement, it is possible that some of our officers or directors will devote some or all of their efforts to our affairs subsequent to our initial Business Combination.

Following our initial Business Combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.

Opportunity for stockholder approval of Business Combination

We will seek stockholder approval before effecting any Business Combination, even if the proposed Business Combination would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law. In connection with the stockholder vote required to approve any Business Combination, our Founding Stockholder and two of our directors have agreed to vote the shares of common stock they owned immediately before this IPO in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders. This voting arrangement shall not apply to any shares purchased by the Founding Stockholder and such directors in the open market. “Public Stockholders” is defined as the holders of the common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO (“IPO Shares”) or in the secondary market. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination, whether with Complete Energy or another target business, only if a quorum is constituted and a majority of the IPO Shares voted by the Public Stockholders, in person or by proxy, are voted in favor of the proposed Business Combination and Public Stockholders holding not more than 20% of the IPO Shares (minus one share) vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights (as described below). If a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders are not voted in favor of a proposed initial Business Combination, we may combine with a different target business meeting the fair market value criterion described above so long as such combination is approved by public stockholders prior to June 25, 2009.

In connection with seeking stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, we will furnish our stockholders with proxy solicitation materials prepared in accordance with the Exchange Act, which, among other matters, will include a description of the operations of the target business and audited historical financial statements of the business.

Conversion rights

At the time we seek stockholder approval of any Business Combination, we will offer the holders of IPO Shares (but not any of our Founders to the extent they purchased IPO Shares) the right to have such shares converted to cash if the stockholder votes against the Business Combination and the Business Combination is approved and completed. The actual per-share conversion price will be equal to the amount in the trust account (before payment of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and including interest earned on their pro rata portion of the trust account, net of income taxes payable on such interest and net of interest income of $2.4 million on the trust account balance previously released to us to fund our working capital requirements), as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, divided by the total number of IPO Shares. As of December 31, 2008, the per-share conversion price was approximately $9.90. An eligible stockholder may request conversion at any time after the mailing to our stockholders of the proxy

statement and prior to the vote taken with respect to a proposed Business Combination at a meeting held for that purpose, but the request will not be granted unless the stockholder votes against the Business Combination and the Business Combination is approved and completed. Any request for conversion, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date of the meeting. It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to stockholders entitled to convert their shares who elect conversion will be distributed promptly after completion of a Business Combination. We will not complete any Business Combination if stockholders owning 20% or more of the IPO Shares both vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights. Holders of IPO Shares who convert their stock into their share of the trust account still have the right to exercise any warrants they continue to hold.

Liquidation if no Business Combination

If we do not effect a Business Combination by June 25, 2009, we will dissolve and distribute to our Public Stockholders on a pro rata basis the amount in the trust account at such time (less any income taxes payable on interest income and $2.4 million of interest income released to us to fund our working capital requirements as well as interest income of up to $75,000 that may be released to us should we have no or insufficient working capital remaining to fund the costs and expenses of liquidation) plus any remaining net assets of the Company not used for or reserved to pay obligations and claims or such other corporate expenses relating to or arising from our plan of dissolution and distribution, including costs of dissolving and liquidating the Company. In the event of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including trust account assets) will be less than the price per Unit in the IPO (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units). Our Founding Stockholder and two of our directors who owned shares of our common stock immediately prior to our IPO (“Initial Founder’s Shares”) whom we refer to collectively as our “Founders”, have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their Initial Founder’s Shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we liquidate.

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our IPO, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, and without taking into account interest earned on the trust account, the initial per-share liquidation price would be $9.74 or $0.26 less than the public offering per unit price of $10.00. However, the proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of our creditors which could be prior to the claims of our public stockholders. As of December 31, 2008, the per-share liquidation price was $9.90; however, we cannot assure you that if we liquidate, the actual per share liquidation price will not be less than $9.90.

Competition

In identifying, evaluating and selecting any other target business for our initial Business Combination, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, as well as operating businesses seeking acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting Business Combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. While we believe there are numerous potential target businesses with which we could combine if we choose not to pursue an initial Business Combination with Complete Energy, our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore:

•

our obligation to seek stockholder approval of our initial Business Combination or obtain necessary financial information may delay the completion of a transaction;

•

our obligation to convert into cash shares of common stock held by our public stockholders who vote against the initial Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights may reduce the resources available to us for an initial Business Combination;

•

our outstanding warrants and the future dilution they potentially represent may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses; and

•

the requirement to acquire an operating business that has a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the trust account at the time of the acquisition (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.2 million) could require us to acquire the assets of several operating businesses at the same time, all of which sales would be contingent on the closings of the other sales, which could make it more difficult to consummate the Business Combination.

In addition, a number of other blank check companies completed initial public offerings in 2008 and are now seeking to complete an initial Business Combination. See “Risk Factors – We may face significant competition from numerous other companies with a business plan similar to ours seeking to effectuate a Business Combination.” Any of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a Business Combination.

Employees

We currently have two officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our business and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our business. We do not expect to have any full-time employees prior to the consummation of a Business Combination.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the risk factors described below. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks associated with our business

Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were prepared under the assumption that we will continue our operations as a going concern. Our registered independent accountants in their audit report have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Continued operations to consummate an initial Business Combination by June 25, 2008 depend on our ability to meet our existing debt obligations and the financing or other capital required to do so may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We are a development stage company with no operating history and no revenues, and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.

We are a development stage company with limited operating results. Because we lack an operating history, you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective of completing an initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses. We have no plans, arrangements or understandings with any prospective target businesses concerning an initial Business Combination and may be unable to complete an initial Business Combination. We will not generate any revenues from operating activities until, at the earliest, after completing an initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you as to when, or if, an initial Business Combination will occur. If we expend all of the funds not held in trust and interest income earned of up to $2.4 million on the balance of the trust account that may be released to us to fund our working capital requirements in seeking an initial Business Combination, all of which has been released as of December 31, 2008, but fail to complete such an initial combination, we may never generate any operating revenues.

We may not be able to consummate our initial Business Combination within the required time frame, in which case we would be forced to dissolve and liquidate.

We must complete our initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that have a fair market value of at least 80% of the amount held in our trust account at the time of the initial Business Combination (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.2 million) by June 25, 2009. If we fail to consummate a Business Combination by June 25, 2009, we will be forced to dissolve and liquidate. While we have signed a Merger Agreement with Complete Energy Holdings, we do not expect that we will be able to consummate that Business Combination on the terms and conditions reflected in the Merger Agreement, and we may not be able to consummate such merger at all. A number of factors may prevent us from consummating the proposed initial Business Combination with Complete Energy, or with any other target business, including the terms of the proposed merger, general economic conditions, the per-share amount of cash in the trust account, other investment opportunities available to our stockholders, and the amount of time remaining to make any necessary filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to prepare and mail a definitive proxy statement to our stockholders.

While we may decide to pursue other target businesses, we may not be able to find a suitable target business or businesses within the required time frame. In addition, our negotiating position and our ability to conduct adequate due diligence on any potential target business may be reduced as we approach June 25, 2009, the deadline for the consummation of an initial Business Combination.

GSC Group, which includes our Founding Stockholder, is a manager of assets in niche markets and complex areas including distressed investing (predominately control-oriented), corporate credit and real estate. Because of the nature of GSC Group’s business, executives associated with GSC Group, including Messrs. Eckert, Frank and Kaufman, occasionally receive unsolicited inquiries that identify companies that are potentially for sale, however we will not use information relating to specific target businesses that was known by GSC Group’s investment professionals or any other affiliates prior to the completion of the IPO on June 29, 2007.

If we liquidate before concluding an initial Business Combination, our public stockholders will receive less than $10.00 per share on distribution of trust account funds and our warrants will expire worthless.

If we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination and must liquidate our assets, the per-share liquidation distribution will be less than $10.00 because of the expenses of the IPO, our general and administrative expenses and the costs of seeking an initial Business Combination. As of December 31, 2008, the per-share liquidation distribution would have been approximately $9.90. Furthermore, our outstanding warrants are not entitled to participate in a liquidation distribution and the warrants will therefore expire worthless if we liquidate before completing an initial Business Combination. As a result, the purchasers of our shares and warrants may realize less than $10 for each such share, and may not receive any money for such warrant.

We may require stockholders who wish to convert their shares to comply with specific requirements for conversion that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their conversion rights prior to the deadline for exercising conversion rights.

We may require public stockholders who wish to convert their shares to tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the shareholder meeting or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and our transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because we do not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, stockholders who wish to convert may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their conversion rights and thus will be unable to convert their shares.

An effective registration statement must be in place in order for a warrant holder to be able to exercise the warrants, otherwise the warrants will expire worthless.

No warrants will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock upon exercise of warrants by a holder unless, at the time of such exercise, we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current statutory prospectus relating to them is available. Although we have undertaken in the warrant agreement, and therefore have a contractual obligation, to use our best efforts to have an effective registration statement covering shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants from the date the warrants become exercisable and to maintain a current prospectus relating to that common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, and we intend to comply with our undertaking, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so or that we will be able to prevent the warrants from expiring worthless. Holders of warrants may not be able

to exercise their warrants, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants may be deprived of any value if there is no effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants or the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current. In such event, the holder of a unit will have paid the entire unit purchase price for the common stock contained in the unit as the warrant will be worthless. Holders of warrants will not be entitled to a cash settlement for their warrants if we fail to have an effective registration statement or a current prospectus available relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and holders’ only remedies in such event will be those available if we are found by a court of law to have breached our contractual obligation to them by failing to do so.

You are not entitled to protections normally afforded to investors in blank check companies.

Since we have net tangible assets in excess of $5 million, the SEC has taken the position that we are exempt from Rule 419 under the Securities Act, which is designed to protect investors in blank check companies. Accordingly, investors in our securities do not receive the benefits or protections of Rule 419. Among other things, this means we will have a longer period of time to complete a Business Combination in some circumstances than do companies subject to Rule 419. Moreover, offerings subject to Rule 419 would prohibit the release of any interest earned on funds held in the trust account to us unless and until the funds in the trust account were released to us in connection with our consummation of an initial Business Combination.

Under Delaware law, a court could invalidate the requirement that certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation be amended only by unanimous consent of our stockholders; amendment of those provisions could reduce or eliminate the protections they afford to our stockholders.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains certain requirements and restrictions that apply to us until the consummation of our initial Business Combination. Specifically, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides, among other things, that:

prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination, we shall submit the initial Business Combination to our stockholders for approval;

we may consummate our initial Business Combination if approved by a majority of the shares of common stock voted by our public stockholders at a duly held stockholders meeting, and public stockholders owning up to 20% of the shares (minus one share) sold in our IPO have voted against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights;

if a proposed initial Business Combination is approved and consummated, public stockholders who exercised their conversion rights and voted against the initial Business Combination may convert their shares into cash at the conversion price on the closing date of such initial Business Combination;

if our initial Business Combination is not consummated by June 25, 2009, then our existence will terminate and we will distribute all amounts in the trust account (except for such amounts as are paid to creditors or reserved for payment to creditors in accordance with Delaware law) and any net assets remaining outside the trust account on a pro rata basis to all of our public stockholders;

we may not consummate any other Business Combination, merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar transaction prior to our initial Business Combination;

prior to our initial Business Combination, we may not issue additional stock that participates in any manner in the proceeds of the trust account, or that votes as a class with the common stock sold in our IPO on a Business Combination;

our audit committee shall monitor compliance on a quarterly basis with the terms of our IPO and, if any noncompliance is identified, the audit committee is charged with the immediate responsibility to take all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise cause compliance with the terms of our IPO;

the audit committee shall review and approve all payments made to our officers, directors and our and their affiliates, other than the payment of an aggregate of $7,500 per month to GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P. for office space, secretarial and administrative services, and any payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval; and

we will not enter into our initial Business Combination with any entity in which any of our officers, directors or GSC Group or its affiliates has a financial interest.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires that prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination we obtain unanimous consent of our stockholders to amend these provisions. However, the validity of unanimous consent provisions under Delaware law has not been settled. A court could conclude that the unanimous consent requirement constitutes a practical prohibition on amendment in violation of the stockholders’ statutory rights to amend the corporate charter. In that case, these provisions could be amended without unanimous consent, and any such amendment could reduce or eliminate the protection these provisions afford to our stockholders. However, we view all of the foregoing provisions as obligations to our stockholders. Neither we nor our board of directors will propose any amendment to these provisions, or support, endorse or recommend any proposal that stockholders amend any of these provisions at any time prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination (subject to any fiduciary obligations our management or board may have). In addition, we believe we have an obligation in every case to structure our initial Business Combination so that not less than 20% of the shares sold in our IPO (minus one share) have the ability to be converted to cash by public stockholders exercising their conversion rights and the Business Combination will still go forward.

If third parties bring claims against us, or if we go bankrupt, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by you could be less than approximately $9.90 per share.

Our placing of funds in the trust account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although prior to completion of our initial Business Combination, we will seek to have third parties (including any vendors and any other entities with which we enter into a contractual relationship) or any prospective target businesses enter into valid and enforceable agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the trust account, not all third parties engaged by us to date have been willing to sign such waiver agreements, and there is no guarantee that all third parties will agree to execute such agreements in the future. It is also possible that such waiver agreements would be held unenforceable and there is no guarantee that the third parties would not otherwise challenge the agreements and later bring claims against the trust account for amounts owed them. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Further, we could be subject to claims from parties not in contract with us who have not executed a waiver, such as a third party claiming tortious interference as a result of our initial Business Combination. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims that would take priority over the claims of our public stockholders and, as a result, the per-share liquidation price could be less than the approximately $9.90 per share in the trust account as of December 31, 2008. Our Founding Stockholder has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent claims by third parties reduce the amounts in the trust account available for payment to our stockholders in the event of a liquidation and the claims are made by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, a third party with which we entered into a contractual relationship or any prospective target business. However, the agreement entered into by our Founding Stockholder specifically provides for two exceptions to the indemnity given: there will be no liability (1) as to any claimed amounts owed to a third party who executed a valid and enforceable waiver, or (2) as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Furthermore, there could be claims from parties other than vendors, third parties with which we entered into a contractual relationship or target businesses that would not be covered by the indemnity from our Founding Stockholder, such as shareholders and other claimants who are not parties in contract with us who file a claim for damages against us. Based on representations as to its status as an accredited investor (as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) and that it has sufficient funds available to it to satisfy its obligations to indemnify us, we currently believe that our Founding Stockholder is capable of funding its indemnity obligations, even though we have not asked it to reserve for such an eventuality. We cannot assure you, however, that it would be able to satisfy those obligations.

In addition, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you that we will be able to return at least approximately $9.90 per share.

Our stockholders may be held liable for third parties’ claims against us to the extent of distributions received by them following our dissolution.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will continue in existence only until June 25, 2009. If we consummate our initial Business Combination prior to that date, we will seek to amend this provision to permit our continued existence. If we have not completed our initial Business Combination by that date, our corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up our affairs and liquidating pursuant to Section 278 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties

against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by those stockholders in a dissolution. However, if the corporation complies with certain procedures intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, the liability of stockholders with respect to any claim against the corporation is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder. In addition, if the corporation undertakes additional specified procedures, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidation distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders would be barred with respect to any claim on which an action, suit or proceeding is not brought by the third anniversary of the dissolution (or such longer period directed by the Delaware Court of Chancery). While we intend to adopt a plan of distribution making reasonable provision for claims against the company in compliance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, we do not intend to comply with these additional procedures, as we instead intend to distribute the balance in the trust account to our public stockholders as promptly as practicable following termination of our corporate existence. Accordingly, any liability our stockholders may have could extend beyond the third anniversary of our dissolution. We cannot assure you that any reserves for claims and liabilities that we believe to be reasonably adequate when we adopt our plan of dissolution and distribution will suffice. If such reserves are insufficient, stockholders who receive liquidation distributions may subsequently be held liable for claims by creditors of the company to the extent of such distributions.

We depend on the limited funds available outside of the trust account to complete our initial Business Combination.

As of December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $18,027. Interest income earned on the proceeds held in the trust account in the amount of $2.4 million has already been released to us during the period from the consummation of our initial public offering through December 31, 2008, and we are not entitled to the release of any additional amounts from the trust account prior to the consummation of initial Business Combination or, in the case of our liquidation, an additional $75,000 under certain circumstances. We will depend on the incurrence of indebtedness to provide us with the additional working capital we will need to complete our initial Business Combination (and should we decide to pursue target businesses other than Complete Energy, to identify and evaluate one or more such target businesses). There can be no assurance that adequate funds will be available to us to consummate an initial Business Combination. If we have insufficient funds available, we may be forced to liquidate.

Because of our limited resources and the significant competition for Business Combination opportunities we may not be able to consummate an attractive initial Business Combination.

Should we decide to pursue an initial Business Combination with a target business other than Complete Energy, we would expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds, private equity funds and public and private companies (including blank check companies like ours). Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting Business Combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe that there are numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses would be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation would give others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. In addition, the fact that only a limited number of blank check companies have completed a Business Combination may be an indication that there are only a limited number of attractive target businesses available to such entities or that many potential target businesses may not be inclined to enter into Business Combinations with publicly held blank check companies like ours. Further:

our obligation to seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination may materially delay the consummation of a transaction;

our obligation to convert into cash up to 20% of the shares of common stock held by public stockholders (minus one share) in certain instances may materially reduce the resources available for a Business Combination; and

our outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses.

Any of these obligations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a Business Combination. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete for an attractive Business Combination. Additionally, because of these factors, we cannot assure you that we will be able to effectuate a Business Combination within the required time periods. If we are unable to find a suitable target business within the required time periods, we will be forced to liquidate.

We may face significant competition from numerous other companies with a business plan similar to ours seeking to effectuate a Business Combination.

There are numerous other blank check companies that completed IPOs. While some of these blank check companies have specific industries in which they must complete a Business Combination, others may consummate a Business Combination in any industry they choose, as in our case. We may therefore be subject to competition from these companies, which will increase demand for potential target companies to combine with in an initial Business Combination should we seek any other target business. Further, the fact that only a limited number of blank check companies have completed a Business Combination may be an indication that there are limited attractive targets available to such companies or that many potential target businesses may not be inclined to enter into Business Combinations with publicly held blank check companies like us. Numerous blank check companies have completed IPOs and then dissolved or begun proceedings to dissolve as a result of being unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete for an attractive Business Combination or that we will be able to effectuate a Business Combination by June 25, 2009. If we are unable to find a suitable target business within such time period, we will be forced to liquidate. We also expect to face significant competition from companies other than blank check companies. See “—Because of our limited resources and the significant competition for Business Combination opportunities we may not be able to consummate an attractive initial Business Combination.” immediately above.

We may be unable to obtain additional financing if necessary to complete our initial Business Combination or to fund the operations and growth of a target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular Business Combination.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete our initial Business Combination or that we will have sufficient capital with which to complete a combination with a particular target business. If amounts held in trust are not sufficient to facilitate a particular Business Combination because:

of the size of the target business;

the offering proceeds not in trust and funds available to us from interest earned on the trust account balance are insufficient to fund our search for and negotiations with a target business; or

we must convert into cash a significant number of shares of common stock owned by public stockholders who elect to exercise their conversion rights,

we would be required to seek additional financing. We cannot assure you that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If additional financing is unavailable to consummate a particular Business Combination, we would be compelled to restructure or abandon the combination and seek an alternative target business.

In addition, it is possible that we could use a portion of the funds not in the trust account (including amounts we borrowed, if any) to make a deposit, down payment or fund a “no-shop” provision with respect to a particular proposed Business Combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. In the event that we were ultimately required to forfeit such funds, and we had already used up the funds allocated to due diligence and related expenses in connection with the aborted transaction, we could be left with insufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, other potential target businesses.

In addition, we may require additional capital – in the form of debt, equity, or a combination of both – to operate or grow any potential business we may acquire. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional capital if it is required. If we fail to secure such financing, this failure could have a material adverse effect on the operations or growth of the combined business. None of our officers or directors or any other party is required to provide any financing to us in connection with, or following, our initial Business Combination.

If we issue capital stock or convertible debt securities to complete our initial Business Combination, your equity interest in us could be reduced or there may be a change in control of our company.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and there are 150,100,000 authorized but unissued shares of our common stock available for issuance (after appropriate reservation for the issuance of shares upon full exercise of our outstanding warrants, including the Initial Founder’s Warrants), and all of the shares of preferred stock available for issuance. We currently have no commitments to issue any additional securities. We may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock or may issue preferred stock, or a combination of

both, including through convertible debt securities, to complete a Business Combination. Our issuance of additional shares of common stock or any preferred stock:

may significantly reduce your equity interest in us;

will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock are issued, which may among other things limit our ability to use any net operating loss carry forwards we have, and may result in the resignation or removal of our officers and directors; and

may adversely affect the then-prevailing market price for our common stock.

The value of an investment in us may decline if any of these events occur.

If we issue debt securities to acquire or finance a target business, our liquidity may be adversely affected and the combined business may face significant interest expense.

We may elect to enter into a Business Combination that requires us to issue debt securities as part of the purchase price for a target business. If we issue debt securities, such issuances may result in an increase in interest expense for the post-combination business and may adversely affect our liquidity in the event of:

a default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating cash flow after a Business Combination were insufficient to pay principal and interest obligations on our debt;

an acceleration, which could occur even if we are then current in our debt service obligations if the debt securities have covenants that require us to meet certain financial ratios or maintain designated reserves, and such covenants are breached without waiver or renegotiation;

a required immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt securities are payable on demand; or

our inability to obtain any additional financing, if necessary, if the debt securities contain covenants restricting our ability to incur indebtedness.

Our Founding Stockholder owns approximately 20% of our shares of common stock and may influence certain actions requiring a stockholder vote.

Our Founding Stockholder owns approximately 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Our Founding Stockholder and Messrs. Goodwin, Sebastian, Detweiler and McKinnon have agreed, in connection with the stockholder vote required to approve our initial Business Combination, to vote any Initial Founder’s Shares they directly or indirectly own in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders, and our Founding Stockholder and each of our officers and directors has also agreed that if it, he or she acquires shares of common stock, it, he or she, as applicable, will vote all such acquired shares in favor of our initial Business Combination. Accordingly, shares of common stock owned by our Founding Stockholder will not have the same voting or conversion rights as our public stockholders with respect to a potential Business Combination, and neither our Founding Stockholder, nor any of our officers or directors will be able to exercise the conversion rights with respect to any of our shares that it, he or she holds or may acquire.

Our board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years, with only one class of directors being elected in each year. We may consummate an initial Business Combination before there is an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors, in which case all of the current directors will continue in office at least until the consummation of our initial Business Combination. If there is an annual meeting of stockholders, as a consequence of our “staggered” board of directors, only a minority of the board of directors will be considered for election and our Founding Stockholder will have considerable influence on the outcome of that election. Accordingly, our Founding Stockholder will continue to exert control at least until the consummation of the initial Business Combination. Neither our Founding Stockholder nor any of its affiliates are prohibited from purchasing units or shares of our common stock. If they choose do so, our Founding Stockholder and its affiliates will have an even greater influence on the vote to be taken in connection with our initial Business Combination.

If our current directors remain after our initial Business Combination they may have conflicts of interest.

Our ability to effect our initial Business Combination successfully will be largely dependent upon the efforts of our officers and directors. While Messrs. Frank and Kaufman will resign as officers following consummation of our initial Business Combination, Messrs. Eckert, Frank, Goodwin, Kaufman, Sebastian, Detweiler and McKinnon may remain as directors of the combined entity. Since it is possible that a director may remain after a Business Combination, a director may have a conflict of interest if such director is more likely to remain as a director or receive an attractive compensation arrangement in connection with a combination with one potential target business versus another. Such interests, if any, may influence the selection of the ultimate target for our initial Business Combination.

We may have only limited ability to evaluate the management of the target business.

If we decide to pursue an initial Business Combination with a target business other than Complete Energy, we may have only limited ability to evaluate the management of the target business, in particular given the June 25, 2009 liquidation date. Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business in connection with evaluating the desirability of effecting a Business Combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of management will prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company and the securities laws, which could increase the time and resources we must expend to assist them in becoming familiar with the complex disclosure and financial reporting requirements imposed on U.S. public companies. This could be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues that may adversely affect the price of our stock.

We may seek to effect our initial Business Combination with one or more privately held companies, which may present certain challenges to us, including the lack of available information about these companies.

In pursuing our acquisition strategy, we may seek to effect our initial Business Combination with one or more privately held companies. By definition, very little public information exists about these companies, and we could be required to make our decision on whether to pursue a potential initial Business Combination on the basis of limited information.

We may compete with investment vehicles of GSC Group for access to GSC Group.

GSC Group has sponsored and currently manages various investment vehicles, and may in the future sponsor or manage additional investment vehicles which, in each case, could result in us competing for access to the benefits that we expect our relationship with GSC Group to provide to us.

Upon completion of our initial Business Combination we may compete with one or more businesses in which GSC Group, its affiliates and/or our management have an interest, which could result in a conflict of interest that may adversely affect us.

GSC Group entities, including our Founding Stockholder, acquire, hold and sell investments in businesses across a broad range of industries on behalf of managed funds and other investment vehicles. Upon completion of our initial Business Combination, if consummated, we may compete with one or more of these businesses in which GSC Group or its affiliates have an investment or other pecuniary interest, resulting in conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interest may also arise where our directors or other members of our management have affiliations with our competitors. In the case of any such conflicts, your interests may differ from those of the GSC Group entity or individual with the conflict, as such entity or individual may have a greater economic interest in our competitor than in us, or may believe that our competitor has better prospects than us. In such event, that entity or individual may devote more resources, including time and attention, to our competitor than to us, which may adversely affect our operations and financial condition and, ultimately, the value of an investment in us.

We expect to rely upon our access to GSC Group investment professionals in completing an initial Business Combination.

We expect that we will depend, to a significant extent, on our access to the investment professionals of GSC Group and the information and deal flow generated by GSC Group’s investment professionals in the course of their investment and portfolio management activities to identify and complete our initial Business Combination.

Members of our management team and our directors are and may in the future become affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us, and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and business opportunities.

Although GSC Group and Mr. Eckert, our Chairman, have entered into non-compete agreements with us providing that until the earlier of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation, neither GSC Group nor Mr. Eckert will become affiliated with any other blank check company, other members of our management and our directors may in the future become affiliated with other entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us. As a result, members of our management team may become aware of business opportunities that may be appropriate for

presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are or may be affiliated. While we have entered into a business opportunity right of first review agreement with GSC Group which provides that until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation in the event we do not consummate an initial Business Combination, we will have a right of first review with respect to Business Combination opportunities of GSC Group with an enterprise value of $150 million or more that GSC Group becomes aware of (other than any investment opportunities in respect of companies in bankruptcy, or financially or operationally distressed companies; companies targeted for acquisition by any company in which an investment vehicle managed by GSC Group has an equity investment; and any entity in which any of our officers, directors or GSC Group or its affiliates has a financial interest), due to those existing and future affiliations, members of our management team and our directors may have fiduciary obligations to present potential business opportunities to those entities prior to presenting them to us which could cause additional conflicts of interest. Accordingly, members of our management team may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

Moreover, members of our management team are not obligated to expend a specific number of hours per week or month on our affairs. We cannot assure you that these conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

We may use resources in researching acquisitions that are not consummated, which could materially and adversely affect subsequent attempts to effect our initial Business Combination.

The investigation of each specific target business (including those we decided not to pursue) and the negotiation, drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents, and other instruments with Complete Energy has required substantial management time and attention and we have incurred substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, and others. If we decide not to seek to complete a Business Combination with Complete Energy, the costs incurred will not be recoverable. Furthermore, we may fail to consummate an initial Business Combination with Complete Energy, or any other target business, for any number of reasons, including reasons beyond our control, such as that 20% or more of our public stockholders vote against the transaction and opt to convert their stock into a pro rata share of the trust account even if a majority of our stockholders approve the transaction. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred, which could materially and adversely affect subsequent attempts to consummate an initial Business Combination.

Interest income from the trust account may not be sufficient to pay for dissolution and liquidation of the trust.

We may not have funds sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing any plan of distribution. To the extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay income taxes on interest income earned on the trust account balance, we could request that the trustee release to us an additional amount of up to $75,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses, beyond the $2.4 million already released to us. There can be no assurance that any such additional interest will be available, or if available, will be sufficient to cover the costs of our dissolution. While our Founding Stockholder has agreed to reimburse us for certain costs in such a case, such reimbursement excludes special, indirect or consequential costs, such as litigation, pertaining to the dissolution and liquidation.

Because the Initial Founder’s Shares will not participate in liquidation distributions by us, our Founding Stockholder, directors and our management team may have a conflict of interest in deciding if a particular target business is a good candidate for a Business Combination.

Holders of the Initial Founder’s Shares have waived their right to receive distributions with respect to the Initial Founder’s Shares if we liquidate because we fail to complete a Business Combination. Those shares of common stock and all of the warrants owned by our Founding Stockholder will be worthless if we do not consummate our initial Business Combination. Since Messrs. Eckert, Frank and Kaufman have an ownership interest in GSC Group and consequently an indirect ownership interest in us and Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon have a direct ownership interest in us, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for us and our stockholders. These ownership interests may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business and timely completing an initial Business Combination. The exercise of discretion by our officers and directors in identifying and selecting one or more suitable target businesses may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular Business Combination are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest.

Our officers’ and directors’ interests in obtaining reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them may lead to a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for an initial Business Combination and in the public stockholders’ best interest.

Unless we consummate our initial Business Combination, our officers and directors and GSC Group and its employees will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the trust account and the amount of interest income from the trust account up

to a maximum of $2.4 million that may be released to us as working capital. These amounts are based on management’s estimates of the funds needed to finance our operations until June 25, 2009 and to pay expenses in identifying and consummating our initial Business Combination. Those estimates may prove to be inaccurate, especially if a portion of the available proceeds is used to make a down payment in connection with our initial Business Combination or pay exclusivity or similar fees or if we expend a significant portion in pursuit of an initial Business Combination that is not consummated. Our officers and directors may, as part of any Business Combination, negotiate the repayment of some or all of any such expenses. If the target business’s owners do not agree to such repayment, this could cause our management to view such potential Business Combination unfavorably, thereby resulting in a conflict of interest. The financial interest of our officers, directors or GSC Group or its affiliates could influence our officers’ and directors’ motivation in selecting a target business and therefore there may be a conflict of interest when determining whether a particular Business Combination is in the stockholders’ best interest.

We will probably complete only one Business Combination and the private placement of the Initial Founder’s Warrants, meaning our operations will depend on a single business.

The net proceeds from our IPO and the sale of warrants to our Founding Stockholder provided us with approximately $195.5 million that we may use to complete a Business Combination. Our initial Business Combination must involve a target business or businesses with a fair market value of at least 80% of the amount held in our trust account at the time of such Business Combination (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.2 million). We may not be able to acquire more than one target business because of various factors, including the existence of complex accounting issues and the requirement that we prepare and file pro forma financial statements with the SEC that present operating results and the financial condition of several target businesses as if they had been operated on a combined basis. Additionally, we may encounter numerous logistical issues if we pursue multiple target businesses, including the difficulty of coordinating the timing of negotiations, proxy statement disclosure and closings. We may also be exposed to the risk that our inability to satisfy conditions to closing with one or more target businesses would reduce the fair market value of the remaining target businesses in the combination below the required threshold of 80% of the amount held in our trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.2 million). Due to these added risks, we are more likely to choose a single target business with which to pursue a Business Combination than multiple target businesses. Unless we combine with a target business in a transaction in which the purchase price consists substantially of common stock and/or preferred stock or obtain debt financing, it is likely we will complete only our initial Business Combination with the funds invested in our trust account. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may depend solely on the performance of a single business. If this occurs, our operations will be highly concentrated and we will be exposed to higher risk than other entities that have the resources to complete several Business Combinations, or that operate in diversified industries or industry segments.

If we do not conduct an adequate due diligence investigation of a target business with which we combine, we may be required subsequently to take write downs or write-offs, restructuring, and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and our stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

In order to meet our disclosure and financial reporting obligations under the federal securities laws, and in order to develop and seek to execute strategic plans for how we can increase the profitability of a target business, realize operating synergies or capitalize on market opportunities, we must conduct a due diligence investigation of one or more target businesses. Intensive due diligence is time consuming and expensive due to the operations, accounting, finance and legal professionals who must be involved in the due diligence process. We may have limited time to conduct such due diligence due to the requirement that we complete our initial Business Combination by June 25, 2009. Even if we conduct extensive due diligence on a target business with which we combine, we cannot assure you that this diligence will uncover all material issues relating to a particular target business, or that factors outside of the target business and outside of our control will not later arise. If our diligence fails to identify issues specific to a target business or the environment in which the target business operates, we may be forced to write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our common stock. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by a target business or by virtue of our obtaining post-combination debt financing.

Our outstanding warrants may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult to effect our initial Business Combination.

There are outstanding warrants to purchase 24,700,000 shares of common. If we issue common stock to complete our initial Business Combination, the potential issuance of additional shares of common stock on exercise of these warrants could make us a less attractive acquisition vehicle to some target businesses. This is because exercise of warrants will increase the

number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and may reduce the value of the shares issued to complete our initial Business Combination. Our warrants may make it more difficult to complete our initial Business Combination or increase the purchase price sought by one or more target businesses. Additionally, the sale or possibility of the sale of the shares underlying the warrants could have an adverse effect on the market price for our common stock or our units, or on our ability to obtain other financing. If and to the extent these warrants are exercised, you may experience dilution to your investment in us.

The grant of registration rights to our Founding Stockholder and Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon may make it more difficult to complete our initial Business Combination, and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into concurrently with our IPO, our Founding Stockholder and Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon can demand that we register the resale of the Initial Founder’s Shares and our Founding Stockholder can demand that we register the Initial Founder’s Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Founder’s Warrants. The registration rights will be exercisable with respect to the Initial Founder’s Shares at any time after the date on which the relevant securities are no longer subject to transfer restrictions, and with respect to the warrants and the underlying shares of common stock after the warrants become exercisable by their terms. We will bear the cost of registering these securities. If our Founding Stockholder and Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon exercise their registration rights in full, there will be an additional 4,500,000 shares of common stock and up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants eligible for trading in the public market. The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the existence of the registration rights may make our initial Business Combination more costly or difficult to conclude. This is because the stockholders of the target business may increase the equity stake they seek in the combined entity or ask for more cash consideration to offset the negative impact on the market price of our common stock that is expected when the securities owned by our Founding Stockholder or Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon are registered.

If adjustments are made to the warrants, you may be deemed to receive a taxable distribution without the receipt of any cash.

As discussed under “Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Dividends,” we do not anticipate that any dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. If at any time during the period you hold warrants, however, we were to pay a taxable dividend to our stockholders and, in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, the conversion rate of the warrants were increased, that increase would be deemed to be the payment of a taxable dividend to you to the extent of our earnings and profits, notwithstanding the fact that you will not receive a cash payment. If the conversion rate is adjusted in certain other circumstances (or in certain circumstances, there is a failure to make adjustments), that adjustment or failure could also result in the deemed payment of a taxable dividend to you. If you are a non-U.S. holder of a warrant, any resulting withholding tax attributable to deemed dividends could be collected from other amounts payable or distributable to you. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the proper treatment of any adjustments to the warrants.

A trading market for our securities may not be sustained, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.

Prior to our IPO, there was no market for our securities. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be sustained. Furthermore, the trading price and volume of our securities may vary significantly due to our reports of operating losses, one or more potential Business Combinations, the filing of periodic reports with the SEC, and general market or economic conditions.

If we are deemed to be an investment company, we must meet burdensome compliance requirements and restrictions on our activities, which may increase the difficulty of completing a Business Combination.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), the nature of our investments and the issuance of our securities may be subject to various restrictions. These restrictions may make it difficult for us to complete our initial Business Combination. In addition, we may be subject to burdensome compliance requirements and may have to:

adopt a specific form of corporate structure; and

report, maintain records and adhere to voting, proxy, disclosure and other requirements.

We do not believe that our planned principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act. In this regard, our agreement with the trustee states that proceeds in the trust account will be invested only in “government securities” and one or more money market funds, selected by us, which invest principally in either short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having a rating in the highest investment category granted thereby by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or tax exempt municipal bonds issued by governmental entities located within the United States or otherwise meeting certain requirements of the Investment Company Act. This investment restriction is intended to facilitate our not being considered an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If we are deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would increase our operating expenses and could make our initial Business Combination more difficult to complete.

The loss of Mr. Eckert could adversely affect our ability to complete our initial Business Combination.

Our ability to consummate a Business Combination is dependent to a large degree upon Mr. Eckert. We believe that our success depends on his continued service to us, at least until we have consummated a Business Combination. As Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GSC Group, Mr. Eckert has incentives to remain with us. Nevertheless, we do not have an employment agreement with him, or key-man insurance on his life. He may choose to devote his time to other affairs, or may become unavailable to us for reasons beyond his control, such as death or disability. The unexpected loss of his services for any reason could have a detrimental effect on us.

An investor will only be able to exercise a warrant if the issuance of common stock upon such exercise has been registered or qualified or is deemed exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants.

No warrants will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock unless the common stock issuable upon such exercise has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Because the exemptions from qualification in certain states for resales of warrants and for issuances of common stock by the issuer upon exercise of a warrant may be different, a warrant may be held by a holder in a state where an exemption is not available for issuance of common stock upon an exercise and the holder will be precluded from exercise of the warrant. At the time that the warrants become exercisable (following our completion of an initial Business Combination), we expect to either continue to be listed on a national securities exchange, which would provide an exemption from registration in every state, or we would register the warrants in every state (or seek another exemption from registration in such states). Accordingly, we believe holders in every state will be able to exercise their warrants as long as our prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current. However, we cannot assure you of this fact. As a result, the warrants may be deprived of any value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the holders of warrants may not be able to exercise their warrants and they may expire worthless if the common stock issuable upon such exercise is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside.

The NYSE Alternext US may delist our securities, which could limit investors’ ability to transact in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

On February 10, 2009, we received notice from the staff of the NYSE Alternext US (the “Exchange”) that, based on their review of publicly available information, we are not considered to be in compliance with Section 704 of the Exchange’s Company Guide in that we did not hold an annual meeting of its stockholders during 2008. In order to maintain the listing of our common stock on Exchange, we must submit a plan by March 10, 2009, advising the Exchange of the actions we have taken, or will take, that will bring us into compliance by August 11, 2009. While we currently intend to submit such a plan, there can be no assurance that we will submit a plan. Assuming a plan is submitted, if the Exchange accepts the Plan, then the Company may be able to continue its listing during the time up to August 11, 2009, but during that time we will be subject to periodic review by the Exchange to determine whether we are making progress consistent with our plan. If we do not submit a plan or we submit a plan that is not accepted by the Exchange, then we expect that we will become subject to delisting proceedings by the Exchange. Furthermore, if we submit a Plan that is accepted but we are not in compliance with the continued listing standards at August 11, 2009, or we do not make progress consistent with our plan during the time up to August 11, 2009, then we expect that the Exchange would initiate delisting proceedings.

In addition, should we consummate an initial Business Combination, it is likely that the Exchange would require us to file a new initial listing application and meet its initial listing requirements, as opposed to its more lenient continued listing requirements, at the time of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time, or that we would qualify for listing on either the NYSE or the NASDAQ.

If the Exchange subsequently delists our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including:

a limited availability for market quotations for our securities;

reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;

a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock;

limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

In addition, we would no longer be subject to Exchange rules, including rules requiring us to have a certain number of independent directors and to meet other corporate governance standards, which investors may consider material.

If we acquire a target business with operations located outside the United States, we may encounter risks specific to other countries in which such target business operates.

If we decide to pursue an initial business combination with a target business other than Complete Energy and acquire a company that has operations outside the United States, we will be exposed to risks that could negatively impact our future results of operations following our initial Business Combination. The additional risks we may be exposed to in these cases include, but are not limited to:

tariffs and trade barriers;

regulations related to customs and import/export matters;

tax issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to the U.S.;

cultural and language differences;

foreign exchange controls;

crime, strikes, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist attacks and wars;

deterioration of political relations with the United States; and

new or more extensive environmental regulation.

Foreign currency fluctuations could adversely affect our business and financial results.

In addition, a target business with which we combine may do business and generate sales within other countries. Foreign currency fluctuations may affect the costs that we incur in such international operations. It is also possible that some or all of our operating expenses may be incurred in non-U.S. dollar currencies. The appreciation of non-U.S. dollar currencies in those countries where we have operations against the U.S. dollar would increase our costs and could harm our results of operations and financial condition.

Because we must furnish our stockholders with target business financial statements prepared in accordance with and reconciled to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, we will not be able to complete an initial Business Combination with some prospective target businesses unless their financial statements are first reconciled to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The federal securities laws require that a Business Combination meeting certain financial significance tests include historical and/or pro forma financial statement disclosure in periodic reports and proxy materials submitted to stockholders. Our initial Business Combination must be with a target business that has a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) at the time of our initial Business Combination. We will be required to provide historical and/or pro forma financial information to our stockholders when seeking approval of a Business Combination with one or more target businesses. These financial statements must be prepared

in accordance with, or be reconciled to, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, or prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, and the historical financial statements must be audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.), or PCAOB. If a proposed target business, including one located outside of the U.S., does not have or is unable within in a reasonable period of time to provide financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, U.S. GAAP or in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, we will not be able to acquire that proposed target business. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses with which we may combine.

PROPERTY

We do not own any real estate or other physical properties materially important to our operation. Our executive offices are currently located at 500 Campus Drive, Suite 220, Florham Park, New Jersey 07932. The cost for this space is included in the $7,500 per-month fee described above that GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of our Founding Stockholder, charges us for general and administrative services. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the New Jersey area that the fee charged by GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P. is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.

Holders

As of January 27, 2009, there was one holder of record of our units, four holders of record of our common stock and three holders of record of our warrants.

Dividends

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock to date and will not pay cash dividends prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination. After we complete our initial Business Combination, the payment of dividends will depend on our revenues and earnings, if any, our capital requirements and our general financial condition. The payment of dividends after our initial Business Combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at that time. Our board of directors currently intends to retain any earnings for use in our business operations and, accordingly, we do not anticipate that our board will declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Stock Price Performance Graph

The graph below compares the cumulative total return of our common stock from July 9, 2007, the date that our common stock first became separately tradable, through December 31, 2008 with the comparable cumulative return of two indices, the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index. The graph plots the growth in value of an initial investment of $100 in each of our common stock, the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index and the S&P 500 Index over the indicated time periods, and assuming reinvestment of all dividends, if any, paid on our securities. We have not paid any cash dividends and, therefore, the cumulative total return calculation for us is based solely upon stock price appreciation and not upon reinvestment of cash dividends. The stock price performance shown on the graph is not necessarily indicative of future price performance.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with “Selected Financial Data” and our financial statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those presented under “Risks Associated With Our Business” included in Item 1A and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues from operations to date. Our entire activity since inception has been to prepare for and consummate our IPO, to identify and investigate potential targets for a Business Combination and to negotiate the Merger Agreement and seek to consummate the proposed Merger. We will not generate any operating revenues until consummation of a Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income on cash and cash equivalents.

Net income for the period from October 26, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2008 was approximately $2.5 million, which consisted of $7.1 million of dividend income primarily from the trust account offset by $2.4 million of formation, general and administrative costs and $2.3 million of provision for income taxes.

Net income for the period from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 was approximately $0.3 million, which consisted of $2.9 million of dividend income primarily from the trust account offset by $1.8 million of formation, general and administrative costs and $0.8 million of provision for income taxes. Net income for the period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 was approximately $2.3 million, which consisted of $4.2 million of dividend income primarily from the trust account offset by $0.4 million of formation, general and administrative costs and $1.5 million of provision for income

taxes. The primary factors that contributed to the $2.0 million decline in net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 were (1) the dividends earned on the cash held in trust were significantly lower for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to a substantial decline in interest rates, (2) we expensed significant costs for the year ended December 31, 2008 relating to due diligence activities in connection with potential targets for our initial Business Combination and (3) the provision for income tax represented a greater percentage of income due to the calculation of state income taxes based on weighted capital which was significantly higher for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to prior year.

We have incurred substantial costs related to our proposed merger with Complete Energy. Through December 31, 2008, we recorded approximately $4.6 million of deferred acquisition costs. As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at December 31, 2008 the Company had unrestricted cash of $18,027 and $3.4 million in accrued expenses. These costs mainly relate to the pursuit of the Company’s acquisition plans and specifically the proposed merger with Complete Energy. There is no assurance that the Company will successfully complete a Business Combination with Complete Energy or any other target business by June 25, 2009. No additional funds may be released from the trust account prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. As a result, the Company cannot assure that the cash available will be sufficient to cover expenses.

Business Combination with Complete Energy Holdings, LLC

On May 9, 2008, GSC Acquisition Company (“Company”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with, GSCAC Holdings I LLC (“Holdings I”), GSCAC Holdings II LLC (“Holdings II”), GSCAC Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub”) and Complete Energy Holdings, LLC (“Complete Energy”). Complete Energy, an independent power producer, owns and operates two natural gas-fired combined cycle power generation facilities. The 1,022 MW La Paloma generating facility (“La Paloma”), located 110 miles northwest of Los Angeles, serves energy-constrained California. The 837 MW Batesville generating facility (“Batesville”), located in northern Mississippi, serves the Southeast region of the U.S. The Company owns 100% of Holdings I, which owns 100% of Holdings II, which owns 100% of Merger Sub. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement the Company will indirectly acquire Complete Energy by way of a merger of Merger Sub into Complete Energy, with Complete Energy being the surviving entity and thereby becoming an indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the proposed merger, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2008, which was amended on October 10, 2008. We do not expect that the Merger and related transactions will be consummated without amending the Merger Agreement and related documents. We are exploring alternatives for restructuring the proposed Merger with the goal of consummating the Merger, after such restructuring, by June 25, 2009. In addition, we may solicit or initiate discussions with, and enter into negotiations or, with the consent of Complete Energy or the termination of the Merger Agreement, agreements with, other potential target businesses in an effort to consummate an initial Business Combination.

In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of the Company will be converted into one share of Class A common stock of the Company (collectively, the “Class A Shares”). Upon consummation of the Merger, the current owners of Complete Energy would generally receive Class B units in Holdings I, which have economic rights similar to the Class A Shares but no voting rights (the “Class B Units”), and an equal number of shares of Class B common stock in the Company, which have voting rights but no economic rights (the “Class B Shares”). In addition, the current owners of Complete Energy would receive Class C units and Class D units in Holdings I, which would entitle the holders to receive additional Class B Units and Class B Shares if the Company’s stock price reaches $14.50 or $15.50 per share for 10 consecutive trading days, respectively, in each case within five years after the closing. Each Class B Unit plus one Class B Share would be exchangeable into one newly issued Class A Share. Certain of the owners of Complete Energy shares may receive the non-contingent portion of their merger consideration in the form of Class A Shares in lieu of Class B Units and Class B Shares.

The Company intends to account for the Merger under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting No. 141, “Business Combination.” The Merger will be accounted for as a reverse merger. As such, Complete Energy is deemed to be the acquirer in the merger for accounting purposes and, consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements will be those of Complete Energy, recorded at its historical cost basis.

The Merger and related transactions have been unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors and the holders of all of the membership interests in Complete Energy that are required for such approval, but are subject the approval of the Company’s stockholders, including a majority of the shares of common stock of the Company issued in its IPO. In addition, the Merger may not be completed if holders of more than 20% of the shares sold in the IPO vote against the merger and properly exercise their conversion rights, as set forth in the Company’s certificate of incorporation. There can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have not established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A total of approximately $201.7 million, including $191.5 million of the net proceeds from the IPO, $4.0 million from the sale of warrants to the Founding Stockholder and $6.2 million of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, was placed in trust, except for $50,000 that was made available to us for working capital needs. We expect that most of the proceeds held in the trust account will be used as consideration to pay the sellers of a target business or businesses with which we ultimately complete our initial Business Combination or to fund operations upon consummation of our initial Business Combination. We have used substantially all of the net proceeds of this IPO not held in the trust account to pay expenses in locating and acquiring a target business, including identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting Complete Energy as the target business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating our initial Business Combination. To the extent that shares of our capital stock or debt financing is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial Business Combination, any proceeds remaining held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be made available for general corporate purposes, including to finance the operations of the combined business. Should we decide to pursue a target business other than Complete Energy, we would expect to focus on potential target businesses with valuations greater than or equal to 80% of the amount held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.2 million). We believe that the funds placed in trust, together with other available funds, including from the issuance of additional equity and/or the issuance of debt, would support the acquisition of such a target business. Such debt securities may include a long term debt facility, a high-yield notes offering or mezzanine debt financing, and depending upon the business of the target company, inventory, receivable or other secured asset-based financing. The need for and mix of additional equity and/or debt would depend on many factors. The proposed funding for any such Business Combination would be disclosed in the proxy statement relating to the required shareholder approval.

As of December 31, 2008, approximately $203.5 million was held in trust.

Net proceeds from our initial public offering and private placement of warrants placed in trust	$	195,485,000
Deferred underwriters’ discounts and commissions		6,210,000
Total interest received to date for investments held in trust account		7,054,691
Less total interest disbursed to us for working capital through December 31, 2008		(2,400,000	)
Less total taxes paid through December 31, 2008		(2,878,224	)

Total funds held in trust account at December 31, 2008	$	203,471,467

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, substantial costs related to our proposed merger with Complete Energy. As of December 31, 2008, we had $18,027 of unrestricted cash available for completing our merger with Complete Energy, for payment of approximately $4.5 million of current liabilities, and for general corporate purposes. As a result, we cannot assure you that the cash we have available will be sufficient to cover our expenses. Deferred acquisition costs associated with the proposed merger were approximately $4.6 million as of December 31, 2008.

We may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to convert into cash a significant number of shares of public stockholders voting against our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our working capital needs and satisfy our other obligations. While we have entered into discussions with GSC Group regarding its willingness to lend us money for working capital purposes, we have not entered into any agreement with the GSC Group, or anyone else, to provide loans to us, and before we may incur any indebtedness, Complete Energy’s consent is required under the terms of the Merger Agreement (or the Merger Agreement must be terminated). There can be no assurance that we will be able to arrange any loans, or if we do, that any such loans will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs. Our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008,

were prepared under the assumption that we will continue our operations as a going concern. Our registered independent accountants in their audit report have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Continued operations to consummate an initial Business Combination are dependent on our ability to meet our existing debt obligations and the financing or other capital required to do so may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007 and there was no impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FAS 157 by the Company on January 1, 2008 had no material impact to its financial statements given the development stage nature of the Company. The Company has no investment assets or liabilities that would be classified in Level II or III.

In December 2007, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”), replacing Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“FAS No. 141”). This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in FAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This Statement clarifies that acquirers will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions. FAS 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after fiscal years beginning December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited.

The Company will adopt FAS 141R as of January 1, 2009. In accordance with the requirements of FAS 141R, the Company will expense acquisition costs related to the proposed Business Combination discussed in Note 7. As of December 31, 2008 acquisition cost total $4.6 million and is presented on balance sheet as deferred acquisition costs.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices. $197.7 million of the net IPO proceeds (which includes $6.2 million of the proceeds attributable to the underwriters’ deferred discount from the IPO) has been placed in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company as trustee. As of December 31, 2008, the balance of the trust account was $203.5 million. The proceeds held in trust will only be invested in U.S. government securities having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds which invest principally in either short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having the highest rating from a recognized credit rating agency or tax exempt municipal bonds issued by governmental entities located within the United States or otherwise meeting the conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act.

Thus, we are currently subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on short-term government securities and other highly rated money-market instruments. We do not believe that the effect of other changes, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices currently pose significant market risk for us. We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception. We do not currently expect to engage in any hedging activities.

OTHER INFORMATION

Number and Terms of Office of Directors

Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Goodwin and Kaufman, will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders following the IPO. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Detweiler, Frank and McKinnon, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the IPO. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Eckert and Sebastian, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the IPO.

These individuals will play a key role in identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating our initial Business Combination. However, none of these individuals has been a principal of or affiliated with a blank check company that executed a business plan similar to our business plan and none of these individuals is currently affiliated with any such entity. Nevertheless, we believe that the skills

and expertise of these individuals, their collective access to potential target businesses, and their ideas, contacts, and acquisition expertise should enable them to successfully identify and assist us in completing our initial Business Combination. However, there is no assurance such individuals will, in fact, be successful in doing so.

Although all members of the board of directors will be invited and encouraged to attend annual meetings of security holders, we do not have a policy with respect to such attendance. We will seek to schedule our annual meeting of stockholders at a time and date to accommodate attendance by members of our board of directors.

Director Independence

Our securities are listed on the NYSE Alternext US (formerly the American Stock Exchange) and we intend to seek to have our securities approved for listing on the NYSE or NASDAQ following completion of the proposed Merger. The NYSE Alternext US, the NYSE and NASDAQ require that a majority of our board must be composed of “independent directors.” In addition, Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the listing requirements of the NYSE Alternext US, the NYSE and NASDAQ require that the members of our audit committee satisfy independence standards.

Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Goodwin, McKinnon, Detweiler and Sebastian are “independent directors” as such term is defined in the rules of the NYSE Alternext US and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

In addition, our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Goodwin, McKinnon and Sebastian, the current members of our audit committee, are “independent” within the meaning of Rule 10A-3 and the listing requirements of the NYSE Alternext US.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees. Requests for copies of our code of ethics should be sent in writing to GSC Acquisition Company, 500 Campus Drive, Suite 220, Florham Park, New Jersey 07932. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our code of ethics in a current report on Form 8-K.

Corporate Governance

Nominating Committee

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

Our board of directors has established a governance and nominating committee which currently consists of Messrs. Goodwin, McKinnon and Detweiler, with Mr. Goodwin serving as chair.

The governance and nominating committee evaluates each individual in the context of the board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of persons that can best implement our business plan, perpetuate our business and represent stockholder interests. The governance and nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from

time to time. The governance and nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.

As required by the rules of the American Stock Exchange, each of the members of our audit committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, and we consider Mr. Sebastian to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” and as “financially sophisticated” as defined under SEC and American Stock Exchange rules, respectively.

·	reviewing our financing plans, the adequacy and sufficiency of our financial and accounting controls, practices and procedures, the activities and recommendations of the auditors and our reporting policies and practices, and reporting recommendations to our full board of directors for approval;

·	establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential, anonymous submissions by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters;

·	preparing the report required by the rules of the SEC to be included in our annual proxy statement;

·	monitoring compliance on a quarterly basis with the terms of our IPO and amended and restated certificate of incorporation and, if any noncompliance is identified, immediately taking all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise causing such noncompliance with such terms; and

reviewing and approving all payments made to our officers, directors and affiliates, including GSC Group, other than the payment of an aggregate of $7,500 per month to GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P. for office space, secretarial and administrative services.

ITEM 13.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

On November 7, 2006, in connection with our formation, our Founding Stockholder purchased 4,500,000 Initial Founder’s Shares (after giving effect to a recapitalization and stock dividend referred to below) for a purchase price of $25,000 and entered into an agreement with us, as amended on May 29, 2007, to purchase 4,000,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, prior to the consummation of the IPO. A total of 67,500 (after giving effect to the recapitalization and stock dividend) of the 4,500,000 Initial Founder’s Shares were subsequently sold by our Founding Stockholder to certain of our directors, including Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon, in private transactions. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreements for such private transactions, GSC Secondary Interest Fund, LLC may repurchase the Initial Founder’s Shares owned by Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon in the event of their resignation or removal for cause from the Company’s board of directors. The information above and throughout this section has been adjusted to reflect (i) a recapitalization that was effected on May 29, 2007, in which we acquired (for retirement) 1,692,968 of our outstanding shares of common stock from our Founding Stockholder and a total of 25,782 of our outstanding shares of common stock from certain of our directors, including Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon, in each case for nominal consideration of $1.00 and (ii) a 1-for-5 stock dividend that was effected on June 25, 2007 for holders of record as of June 24, 2007. This recapitalization and stock dividend were effected to ensure that the shares included in the units sold to the public in the IPO represented approximately 80% of our outstanding share capital following the IPO. The Initial Founder’s Shares are identical to the shares included in the units sold in the IPO, except that our Founding Stockholder and each transferee has agreed (i) in connection with the stockholder vote required to approve our initial Business Combination, to vote the Initial Founder’s Shares in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders, and (ii) to waive their right to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the Initial Founder’s Shares if we fail to consummate our initial Business Combination. The Initial Founder’s Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the IPO, except that they will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by our Founding Stockholder or its permitted transferees and the shares of common stock issued upon exercise of such Initial Founder’s Warrants by our Founding Stockholder or its permitted transferees will not be registered under the Securities Act. However our Founding Stockholder and its permitted transferees will have the right to demand registration of the resale of such shares.

Our Founding Stockholder and Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon have agreed not to sell or transfer the Initial Founder’s Shares until June 29, 2010 and not to sell or transfer the Initial Founder’s Warrants until after we complete our initial Business Combination, except in each case to permitted transferees who agree to be subject to the same transfer restrictions and vote in accordance with the majority of shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders in connection with our initial Business Combination. We refer to these agreements with our Founding Stockholder and Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon and their permitted transferees as a “lock-up agreement.” The permitted transferees under the lock-up agreements are our officers, directors and employees, and other persons or entities associated with GSC Group. During the lock-up period, our Founding Stockholder and Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon and any permitted transferees to whom they transfer shares of common stock will retain all other rights of holders of our common stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of common stock (except that our Founding Stockholder and Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon have agreed to vote the Initial Founder’s Shares in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by our Public Stockholders in connection with the vote on any initial Business Combination) and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares of common stock, such dividends will also be subject to the lock-up agreement. If we are unable to affect our initial Business Combination and liquidate, our Founding Stockholder and Messrs. Goodwin and McKinnon have waived the right to receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds

with respect to the Initial Founder’s Shares. Any permitted transferees to whom the Initial Founder’s Shares are transferred will also agree to waive that right.

We entered into a registration rights agreement with holders of the Initial Founder’s Shares, the Initial Founder’s Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the Initial Founder’s Warrants granting them the right to demand that we register the resale of the Initial Founder’s Shares, the Initial Founder’s Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the Initial Founder’s Warrants, with respect to the Initial Founder’s Shares, at any time after the date on which they are no longer subject to transfer restrictions, and with respect to all of the warrants and the underlying shares of common stock, after the relevant warrants become exercisable by their terms. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P., made advances on our behalf used to pay a portion of the expenses of the IPO and our organization. These advances were non-interest bearing and unsecured and were repaid at the time of the consummation of the IPO.

We have agreed to pay GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of our Founding Stockholder a monthly fee of $7,500 for office space and administrative services, including secretarial support. We believe that such fees are at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

We will reimburse our officers, directors and affiliates, including GSC Group and its employees, for any reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and Business Combinations. Subject to availability of proceeds not placed in the trust account and the interest income of $2.4 million on the balance in the trust account released to us, there is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses that could be incurred. Our audit committee will review and approve all payments made to our officers, directors and affiliates, including GSC Group, other than the payment of an aggregate of $7,500 per month to GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P. for office space, secretarial and administrative services, and any payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval. To the extent such out-of-pocket expenses exceed the available proceeds not deposited in the trust account and the interest income of $2.4 million on the balance in the trust account released to us, such out-of-pocket expenses would not be reimbursed by us unless we consummate an initial Business Combination.

Although GSC Group, Inc. (“GSCG”) and Mr. Eckert, our Chairman, have entered into non-compete agreements with us providing that until the earlier of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation, neither GSCG nor Mr. Eckert will become affiliated with any other blank check company, the other members of our management team may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other blank check companies, engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct. Members of our management team may become aware of business opportunities that may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are or may be affiliated. While we have entered into a business opportunity right of first review agreement with GSCG which provides that from the date of the prospectus relating to our IPO until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation in the event we do not consummate an initial Business Combination, we will have a right of first review with respect to Business Combination opportunities of GSC Group with an enterprise value of $150 million or more that GSC Group first becomes aware of after the date of the prospectus relating to our IPO (other than any investment opportunities in respect of companies in bankruptcy, or financially or operationally distressed companies; companies targeted for acquisition by any company in which an investment vehicle managed by GSC Group has an equity investment; and any entity in which any of our officers, directors or GSC Group or its affiliates has a financial interest), due to those existing and future affiliations, members of our management team may have fiduciary obligations to present potential business opportunities to those entities prior to presenting them to us which could cause conflicts of interest. Accordingly, members of our management team and our directors may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

Other than reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses payable to our officers and directors and GSC Group and an aggregate of $7,500 per month paid to GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P. for office space, secretarial and administrative services, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid to any of our officers or directors or their affiliates.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of GSC Acquisition Company and subsidiaries (the ‘‘Company’’), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As of December 31, 2008, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 was effective.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of GSC Acquisition Company:

We have audited GSC Acquisition Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). GSC Acquisition Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

In our opinion, GSC Acquisition Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of GSC Acquisition Company (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and Stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 and for the period from October 26, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2008 of GSC Acquisition Company and our report dated February 26, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has a working capital deficiency. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The December 31, 2008 financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of GSC Acquisition Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GSC Acquisition Company (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and Stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 and for the period from October 26, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of GSC Acquisition Company at December 31, 2007 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations, its cash flows and changes in Stockholders’ equity for years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 and for the period from October 26, 2006 to December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), GSC Acquisition Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY

(a development stage company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Organization and Nature of Business Operations

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY (a development stage company) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 26, 2006. The Company was formed to acquire through merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar Business Combination, one or more businesses or assets. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue from operations to date. All activity through December 31, 2008 relates to the formation of the Company, its initial public offering, negotiation, efforts to identify prospective target businesses and the negotiation and execution of the Merger Agreement and the Company’s efforts to consummate the merger thereunder, as described below and in Notes 3 and 7. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial Business Combination. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of dividend income on cash and cash equivalents. The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting By Development Stage Enterprises,” and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective June 25, 2007. The Company consummated the IPO on June 29, 2007 and recorded proceeds of approximately $191.5 million, net of the underwriters’ discount and commission of $14.5 million and offering costs of $1.0 million.

GSCAC Holdings I LLC (“Holdings I”), GSCAC Holdings II LLC (“Holdings II”) and GSCAC Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub”) (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) are Delaware limited liability companies that were formed in April 2008. The Company owns 100% of Holdings I, which owns 100% of Holdings II, which owns 100% of Merger Sub. As of December 31, 2008, there were no assets or liabilities and there were no activities in any of the subsidiaries.

A total of approximately $201.7 million, including $191.5 million of the net proceeds from the IPO, $4.0 million from the sale of warrants to the Company’s first stockholder (the “Founding Stockholder”) (see Note 4) and $6.2 million of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, has been placed in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company serving as trustee. Except for a portion of the dividend income permitted to be released to the Company, the proceeds held in trust will not be released from the trust account until the earlier of the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. Under the terms of the investment management trust agreement, up to a total of $2.4 million of dividend income earned (net of taxes payable) may be released to the Company, subject to availability. As of December 31, 2008, the full $2.4 million had been released to the Company in accordance with those terms and the balance in the trust account was approximately $203.5 million.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with an existing operating company. As used herein, a “target business” shall mean one or more businesses or assets that, at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination, has a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts of $6.2 million) described below and a “Business Combination” shall mean the acquisition by the Company of such target business.

The Company’s efforts in identifying prospective target businesses have not been limited to a particular industry. As discussed in Note 7, the Company has identified Complete Energy as its prospective target business.

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY

(a development stage company)

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

Note 1 — Organization and Nature of Business Operations (continued)

The Company will seek stockholder approval before it will effect any Business Combination, even if the Business Combination would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law. In connection with the stockholder vote required to approve any Business Combination, including the proposed acquisition of Complete Energy, the Company’s Founding Stockholder and four of its directors have agreed to vote any shares of common stock they own that were issued prior to the IPO in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders. “Public Stockholders” is defined as the holders of common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO or in the aftermarket. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders are voted in favor of the Business Combination and Public Stockholders holding not more than 20% of the shares (minus one share) sold in the IPO vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights. If a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders are not voted in favor of a proposed initial Business Combination, the Company may combine with a different target business meeting the fair market value criterion described above so long as such combination is approved by public stockholders prior to June 25, 2009.

If a Business Combination is approved and completed, any Public Stockholder voting against a Business Combination will be entitled to convert their stock into a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, before payment of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and including any interest earned on their pro rata portion of the trust account, net of income taxes payable by the Company thereon, and net of the dividend income earned of $2.4 million on the balance of the trust account previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements. Public Stockholders who convert their stock into their share of the trust account will continue to have the right to exercise any Warrants they may hold. As of December 31, 2008, 4,139,999 shares of common stock may be subject to conversion for cash payments of approximately $9.74 per share totaling approximately $40.3 million.

During the period from July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008, the Company earned enough dividends to begin accreting dividend income to the common stock subject to possible conversion. Accordingly, the Company accreted approximately $0.6 million of dividend income, net of $0.8 million of income taxes as of December 31, 2008.

The Company will dissolve and promptly distribute only to its Public Stockholders the amount in the trust account, less any income taxes payable on dividend income earned and the dividend income earned of $2.4 million on the balance of the trust account previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements, plus any remaining net assets if the Company does not effect a Business Combination by June 25, 2009. In the event of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including trust account assets) will be less than the IPO price per Unit in the IPO (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units).

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals and all values are stated in United States dollars. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY

(a development stage company)

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Basis of presentation (continued):

Going concern consideration –As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at December 31, 2008 the Company had unrestricted cash of $18,027 and $3.4 million in accrued expenses. These costs mainly relate to the pursuit of the Company’s acquisition plans and specifically the proposed merger with Complete Energy. There is no assurance that the Company will successfully complete a Business Combination with Complete Energy (or any other entity) by June 25, 2009. As a result, the Company cannot assure that the cash available will be sufficient to cover expenses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to satisfy its outstanding obligations and to continue operations as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents:

The Company and its Subsidiaries consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents held in trust:

A total of approximately $201.7 million was originally placed in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company serving as trustee. The trust proceeds are invested in the “JPMorgan 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund.” The money market fund invests exclusively in direct short-term obligations of the US Treasury. As of December 31, 2008, the balance in the trust account was approximately $203.5 million, which includes approximately $4.2 million of dividend income earned since the inception of the trust net of approximately $2.9 million of taxes paid and $2.4 million released to the Company as of December 31, 2008.

Fair Value Measurements:

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments reflect the estimates of amounts that would be received from selling an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates presented in this report are based on information available to the Company as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), the Company applies a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value. The three levels are the following:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY

(a development stage company)

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Fair Value Measurements (continued):

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents held in the trust account were estimated using Level 1 inputs and the carrying value approximates the fair value because of their nature and respective duration. No investments were included as Level 2 or Level 3 investments during 2008.

Deferred acquisition costs:

Deferred acquisition costs consist principally of legal, consulting and other professional fees incurred through the consolidated balance sheet date that are directly related to the proposed acquisition discussed in Note 7. Deferred acquisition costs related to the proposed acquisition will be charged to expense if the acquisition is not consummated or included as an element of the purchase price should the transaction be consummated.

Accounts payable:

Accounts payable are outstanding amounts owed to third parties principally for services rendered in connection with the Company’s effort to identify a target business.

Accrued expenses:

Accrued expenses are estimated costs incurred but not yet paid. At December 31, 2008 accrued expenses consist primarily of legal fees incurred in connection with the Company’s proposed acquisition discussed in Note 7.

Income taxes:

The Company is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal and state and local income tax purposes. It accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”.

Net income per share:

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed similar to basic net income per share, but includes the dilutive effect of shares issued pursuant to the Company’s outstanding warrants which are exercisable on the later of (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) 13 months after the consummation of the Company’s IPO.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Organization costs:

Organization costs consist principally of professional fees incurred in connection with the organization of the Company and have been expensed as incurred.

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

On June 29, 2007, the Company sold to the public 20,700,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $10.00. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock, $0.001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (“Warrant”).

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY

(a development stage company)

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering (continued)

Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 commencing the later of the completion of a Business Combination with a target business or 13 months from June 29, 2007 and expiring June 25, 2011, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation of the trust account. Holders of the Warrants must pay the exercise price in full upon exercise of the Warrants. The Warrants will be redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $14.25 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. The terms of the Warrants include, among other things, that (i) in no event will a Warrant holder be entitled to receive a net cash settlement of the Warrant, and (ii) the Warrants may expire unexercised and worthless if a prospectus relating to the common stock to be issued upon the exercise of the warrants is not current and an applicable registration statement is not effective prior to the expiration date of the Warrant, and as a result purchasers of our Units will have paid the full Unit purchase price solely for the share of common stock included in each Unit.

The Company agreed to pay the underwriters in the IPO an underwriter discount of 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO. However, the underwriters have agreed that a portion of the underwriter discount equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds will not be payable unless and until the Company completes a Business Combination and have waived their right to receive such payment upon the Company’s liquidation if it is unable to complete a Business Combination. As of December 31, 2008, such amount is $6.2 million which is included as deferred underwriting discount on the balance sheet.

Note 4 — Related Party Transactions

On November 7, 2006, the Founding Stockholder purchased 5,468,750 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Initial Founder’s Shares”) for an aggregate purchase of $25,000. Subsequent to the purchase of the Initial Founder’s Shares, our Founding Stockholder sold an aggregate of 82,032 of the Initial Founder’s Shares to three of our directors. The Initial Founder’s Shares are identical to those included in the Units except that our Founding Stockholder and each transferee has agreed 1) that in connection with the stockholder vote required to approve the Company’s initial Business Combination, to vote the Initial Founder’s Shares in accordance with a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders and 2) to waive its right to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the Initial Founder’s Shares if a Business Combination is not consummated by June 25, 2009.

On November 7, 2006, the Founding Stockholder entered into a binding agreement to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant from the Company. The purchase was consummated on June 28, 2007. The Warrants are identical to the Warrants contained in the Units except that they are not redeemable for cash while held by the Founding Stockholder or its permitted transferees and the shares of common stock issued upon exercise of such Warrants by the Founding Stockholder or its permitted transferees will not be registered under the Securities Act but will be subject to certain resale registration rights. The Founding Stockholder has further agreed that it will not sell or transfer these Warrants until completion of a Business Combination, except in certain limited circumstances.

The Company has agreed to pay to GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of the Founding Stockholder, a total of $7,500 per month for office space and general and administrative services. Services commenced on June 25, 2007, the effective date of the IPO, and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination, or (ii) the liquidation of the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2008, administrative fees totaled $90,000 of which $22,500 is payable at December 31, 2008 and included in due to affiliate on the balance sheet.

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY

(a development stage company)

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

Note 4 — Related Party Transactions (continued)

A recapitalization was effected on May 29, 2007, in which the Company purchased from the Founding Stockholder 1,692,968 of outstanding shares of common stock for retirement and a total of 25,782 of outstanding shares of common stock from three directors, in each case for the nominal consideration of $1.00. A 1-for-5 stock dividend was effected on June 25, 2007 for holders of record as of June 24, 2007, as described in Note 6.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had reimbursed GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P., a total of $833,847 of which $386,943 was for IPO related expenses paid on the Company’s behalf and $446,904 was for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s efforts in identifying prospective target businesses and consummating an initial business combination.

Note 5 — Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Note 6 — Common Stock

As described in Note 4, a recapitalization was effected on May 29, 2007, in which the Company purchased for retirement from the Founding Stockholder 1,692,968 of outstanding shares of common stock and a total of 25,782 of outstanding shares of common stock from three directors, in each case for nominal consideration of $1.00.

On June 25, 2007 the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend to stockholders of record on June 24, 2007. The stock dividend was paid on June 29, 2007. One share of Common stock was issued for each five outstanding shares of Common Stock. All references in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2006 and for the period from October 26, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2008 to the number of shares of common stock have been retroactively restated to reflect this transaction. These transactions were effected to ensure that the shares included in the Units sold in the IPO represented approximately 80% of the Company’s outstanding share capital.

Note 7 — Proposed Business Combination

On May 9, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among the Company, Holdings I, Holdings II, Merger Sub and Complete Energy Holdings, LLC (“Complete Energy”). The Company owns 100% of Holdings I, which owns 100% of Holdings II, which owns 100% of Merger Sub. Complete Energy owns and operates two natural gas-fired combined cycle power generation facilities, the 1,022 MW La Paloma generating facility (“La Paloma”) and the 837 MW Batesville generating facility (“Batesville”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will indirectly acquire Complete Energy by way of a merger of Merger Sub into Complete Energy, with Complete Energy being the surviving entity and thereby becoming an indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY

(a development stage company)

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

Note 7 — Proposed Business Combination (continued)

Certain of the owners of Complete Energy shares may receive the non-contingent portion of their merger consideration in the form of Class A Shares in lieu of Class B Units and Class B Shares.

The Merger and related transactions have been unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors and the holders of all of the membership interests in Complete Energy that are required for such approval, but are subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders, including a majority of the shares of common stock of the Company issued in its IPO. In addition, the Merger may not be completed if holders of more than 20% of the shares sold in the IPO vote against the merger and properly exercise their conversion rights, as set forth in the Company’s certificate of incorporation. There can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated or that any other proposed initial Business Combination will be consummated.

Note 8 — Provision for Income Taxes

The Company is subject to U.S. Federal, state and local income and capital taxes. The components of the Company’s income tax provision by taxing jurisdiction for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are as follows:

	2008			2007
Current
Federal		$	142,381		$	1,146,541
State & Local			652,911			353,755
Current provision (benefit) for income taxes		$	795,292		$	1,500,296

Deferred
Federal		$	1,700		$	(23,376	)
State & Local			—			—
Deferred provision (benefit) for income taxes		$	1,700		$	(23,376	)

Total provision (benefit) for income taxes		$	796,992		$	1,476,920

The Company’s effective tax rate of 74.38% and 38.92% for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, differs from the federal statutory rate of 34.0% mainly due to certain differences including state and local income taxes.

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY

(a development stage company)

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

Note 8 — Provision for Income Taxes (continued)

The Company is subject to state and local taxes based on capital as opposed to income. Such state and local taxes based on capital are included as part of the Company’s income tax provision and account for 40.22% and 6.56% of the Company’s effective rate of 74.38% and 38.92% for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of the difference between the actual provision for income taxes and the provision computed by applying the federal statutory rate:

	2008	2007
U.S. Federal Statutory Rate	34.00%	34.00%
Increase resulting from:
State and Local Income Taxes, net of Federal Benefits	40.22%	6.56%

Meals and Entertainment	0.16%	0.01%
Other	-	-1.65%

Effective Tax Rate	74.38%	38.92%

FASB Statement No. 10 (“FAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes” prescribes an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in different periods for income tax purposes than for financial statement reporting purposes. Deferred taxes reflect the temporary differences between the tax basis and financial statement carrying value of assets and liabilities. Provisions for deferred taxes are made in recognition of these temporary differences in accordance with the provisions of FAS 109.

The Company has a net deferred tax asset of $21,676 at December 31, 2008 related to book/tax differences with respect to amortization of organizational costs. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize a future benefit with respect to the deferred tax asset.

The Company has a state deferred tax asset of $7,033 related to book/tax differences with respect to amortization of organizational costs. As the Company is currently subject to and expects to continue to be subject to taxes based on capital as opposed to income, it does not expect to be able to utilize this asset. Accordingly a full valuation allowance of $7,033 has been recorded against the state deferred tax asset.

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

Note 9 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In December 2007, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”), replacing Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“FAS No. 141”). This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in FAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all Business Combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each Business Combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the Business Combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the Business Combination. This Statement clarifies that acquirers will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions. FAS 141R will apply prospectively to Business Combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after fiscal years beginning December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited.

The Company will adopt FAS 141R as of January 1, 2009. In accordance with the requirements of FAS 141R, the Company will expense acquisition costs related to the proposed Business Combination discussed in Note 7. As of December 31, 2008 acquisition costs total $4.6 million and is presented on balance sheet as deferred acquisition costs.
