White & Case advises Vast Solar Pty Ltd. on its business combination with Nabors Energy Transition Corp.

Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised market-leading renewable energy company, Vast Solar Pty Ltd., on its entry into a business combination agreement with Nabors Energy Transition Corp. The combined entity will be named Vast and is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "VSTE", while remaining headquartered in Australia.
