ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

 

The information set forth in Item 4 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3, as applicable. The source of funds for acquiring the securities described herein was the working capital of the Sponsor.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

 

Securities Subscription Agreement

 

On April 30, 2019, the Issuer issued to the Sponsor an aggregate of 6,325,000 Class B ordinary shares (“founder shares”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000 pursuant to a securities subscription agreement, dated as of April 30, 2019 (the “Securities Subscription Agreement”). The foregoing description of the Securities Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Securities Subscription Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

The founder shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the Issuer’s initial business combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all founder shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (excluding the private placement shares underlying the private placement units (as defined below) and after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial business combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and any private placement-equivalent units issued to the Sponsor or the Issuer’s officers or directors upon conversion of working capital loans; provided that such conversion of founder shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

 

Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement

 

On July 30, 2019, the Sponsor purchased from the Issuer 615,000 units (the “private placement units”) pursuant to the terms of a private placement units purchase agreement, dated as of July 30, 2019 (the “Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement”). On August 2, 2019, the Sponsor purchased from the Issuer an additional 66,000 private placement units pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement in connection with the exercise by the underwriters of the Issuer’s initial public offering of their over-allotment option in full, resulting in the Sponsor owning an aggregate of 681,000 private placement units. Each private placement unit is comprised of one Class A ordinary share (the “private placement shares”) and one warrant (the “private placement warrants”), each private placement warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share. Other than the lock-up provisions contained in the Letter Agreement, the private placement units have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the units sold in the Issuer’s initial public offering.

 

The foregoing description of the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

 

Letter Agreement

 

On July 30, 2019, the Sponsor agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement with the Issuer (the “Letter Agreement”), to (i) waive its redemption rights with respect to its founder shares, private placement shares and Class A ordinary shares in connection with the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination, (ii) waive its redemption rights with respect to its founder shares, private placement shares and Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Issuer’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Issuer’s Class A ordinary shares in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Class A ordinary shares if the Issuer has not consummated an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of its initial public offering and (iii) waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if the Issuer fails to complete its initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of its initial public offering (although it will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any other Class A ordinary shares they hold if the Issuer fails to complete its initial business combination within the prescribed time frame). If the Issuer submits its initial business combination to its shareholders for a vote, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its founder shares and private placement shares in favor of the initial business combination, and the Sponsor has also agreed to vote any other Class A ordinary shares in favor of the initial business combination.

The founder shares, private placement units, private placement shares, private placement warrants and any Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof are each subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to lock-up provisions in the Letter Agreement. Those lock-up provisions provide that such securities are not transferable or salable (i) in the case of the founder shares, until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination or (B) subsequent to the initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, or (y) the date on which the Issuer complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Issuer’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the private placement units, the private placement shares, the private placement warrants and any Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof until 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination, except in each case (a) to the Issuer’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of the Issuer’s officers or directors, any affiliate of the Sponsor or to any member of the Sponsor or any of their affiliates, (b) in the case of an individual, as a gift to such person’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such person’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such person; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection with the consummation of a business combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares or warrants were originally purchased; (f) by virtue of the laws of the State of Nevada or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor, (g) in the event of the Issuer’s liquidation prior to the consummation of an initial business combination; or (h) in the event that, subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination, the Issuer completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Issuer’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (f) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions and the other restrictions contained in the Letter Agreement.

 

In addition, the Letter Agreement provides that in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or its affiliate may, but is not obligated to, loan to the Issuer funds as may be required on a non-interest basis. If the Issuer completes an initial business combination, the Issuer would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, the Issuer may use a portion of the working capital held outside its trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from its trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private placement units. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

 

The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Letter Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On July 30, 2019, the Issuer and the Sponsor entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer granted the Sponsor registration rights with respect to the founder shares, private placement units, private placement shares, private placement warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the private placement warrants, and securities that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans. The Sponsor and other holders of such securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Issuer register such securities for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In addition, these holders have “piggy-back” registration rights to include such securities in other registration statements filed by the Issuer.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.
