ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyzon Motors Inc. ("Hyzon"), a leading global supplier of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell-powered commercial vehicles, today announced the appointment of Adam Kroll as Chief Administrative Officer with immediate effect.

As announced on February 9, 2021, Hyzon has entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination with Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ: DCRB), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that would result in Hyzon becoming a publicly listed company. Completion of the proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2021.

Mr. Kroll brings more than 20 years of corporate finance experience to Hyzon. Most recently he served as interim Chief Financial Officer for UPG Enterprises, a hyper growth family office founded in 2014 to acquire steel services businesses. Prior to his tenure at UPG, Mr. Kroll spent five years at PSAV, a $3 billion Blackstone backed global event technology services provider, where he served in roles of increasing responsibility, including Treasurer, Head of Corporate Development and Senior Vice President - Finance.

In the 10 years prior to his time at PSAV, Mr. Kroll was an investment banker, serving most of that time at JP Morgan. He covered the automotive sector as an advisor on many noteworthy transactions, including IPOs, secondary capital raises, acquisitions, divestitures and recapitalizations.

Mr. Kroll earned his MBA, with honors, from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, and his bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Wisconsin.

Craig Knight, CEO and Co-Founder of Hyzon Motors, said:

"We are thrilled to add someone of Adam's caliber to our leadership team.
