Purpose of the Transaction

 

In connection with the organization of the Issuer, on September 19, 2019, 5,750,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Founder Shares”) were purchased by the Sponsor for the amount of $25,000, pursuant to a Securities Subscription Agreement, dated September 19, 2019, between the Sponsor and the Issuer (the “Purchase Agreement”), as more fully described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D which information is incorporated herein by reference. On December 12, 2019, the Issuer effected a 1.1 for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B Common Stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 6,325,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (up to 825,000 shares of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised).

 

On December 17, 2019, simultaneously with the consummation of the Issuer’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Sponsor purchased 700,000 units (“Placement Units”) of the Issuer at $10.00 per Placement Unit, pursuant to an Unit Subscription Agreement, dated December 12, 2019, by and between the Issuer and the Sponsor (the “Subscription Agreement”), as more fully described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Each Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A Common Stock upon the consummation of a business combination, and one half of one warrant, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock, at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (as described more fully in the Issuer’s Final Prospectus dated December 12, 2019). On December 17, 2019, in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, 75,000 Founder Shares were forfeited and the remaining Found Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

 

The shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make further acquisitions of the Common Stock from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of the Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors. However, certain of such shares are subject to certain lock-up restrictions as further described in Item 6 below.

 

Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (c) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Founder Securities Purchase Agreement between the Issuer and Sponsor

 

In connection with the organization of the Issuer, on September 19, 2019, 5,750,000 Founder Shares were purchased by the Sponsor for the amount of $25,000, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provided that up to 750,000 Founder Shares purchased by the Sponsor were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriter of the IPO did not exercise its overallotment option in full. On December 12, 2019, the Issuer effected a 1.1 for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B Common Stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 6,325,000 Class B Common Stock (up to 825,000 shares of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised). On December 17, 2019, in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, 75,000 Founder Shares were forfeited and the remaining Found Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

 

The description of the Securities Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by the Issuer with the SEC on November 25, 2019 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.1).

 

 

Unit Subscription Agreement between the Issuer and Sponsor

 

On December 17, 2019, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased 700,000 Placement Units pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The Placement Units and the securities underlying such Placement Units are subject to a lock up provision in the Subscription Agreement, which provides that such securities shall not be transferable, saleable or assignable until 30 days after the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions as described in the Insider Letter.

  

The description of the Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.5 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on December 17, 2019 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.2). 

 

Insider Letter

 

On December 12, 2019, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer and the Sponsor entered into a letter agreement (the “Insider Letter”). Pursuant to the Insider Letter, the Sponsor agreed (A) to vote its Founder Shares, any shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Units and any public shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose an amendment to the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would modify the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligation to redeem the public shares if the Issuer does not consummate a business combination within 24 months from the completion of the initial public offering or any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Issuer provides the holders of public shares with the opportunity to redeem such shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Issuer’s trust account set up in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”), (C) not to redeem any Founder Shares and any shares underlying the Placement Units into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Issuer’s proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that the Founder Shares and any shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Units shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. The Sponsor also agreed that in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account of the Issuer (as defined in the Insider Letter), it will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer against any and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever which the Issuer may become subject as a result of any claim by any vendor or other person who is owed money by the Issuer for services rendered or products sold to or contracted for the Issuer, or by any target business with which the Issuer has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account; provided that such indemnity shall not apply if such vendor or prospective target business executes an agreement waiving any claims against the Trust Account.

 

The description of the Insider Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on December 17, 2019 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.3).

On December 12, 2019, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer and the Sponsor entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor was granted certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights, which will be subject to customary conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares offered. The summary of such registration rights agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.3 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on December 17, 2019 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.4).
