Insider Letter
On December 9, 2021, the Issuer entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with FSC Sponsor, certain other of the Issuer’s stockholders and the Issuer’s directors and officers. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, FSC Sponsor and the other parties thereto agreed (i) if the Issuer seeks stockholder approval of a proposed business combination, to vote all shares held by it in favor of such proposed business combination and (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to securities of the Issuer held by them in connection with the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the parties thereto agreed not to transfer any Founder Shares (or shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination and (ii) the date on which the Issuer consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing 150 days after the Company’s initial business combination, the Founder Shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Letter Agreement provides exceptions pursuant to which the parties thereto can transfer such shares to certain permitted transferees as further described in the Letter Agreement. Under the Letter Agreement, neither the Units nor the shares underlying such warrants may be transferred (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the consummation of the initial business combination.
Under the Letter Agreement, the parties thereto also agreed they will not propose any amendment to the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligation to redeem the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the units sold in the Issuer’s IPO if the Issuer does not complete a business combination within 12 months (or 18 months, as applicable) from the closing of its IPO unless the Issuer provides its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares upon approval of any such amendment.
Under the Letter Agreement, each party thereto agreed to waive, with respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock held by it, any redemption rights it may have in connection with the consummation of a business transaction, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a stockholder vote to approve such business transaction or in the context of a tender offer made by the Issuer to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock.
FSC Sponsor and Celtic Sponsor VII also agreed that in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account of the Issuer (as defined in the Letter Agreement), they 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 third party for services rendered or products sold to the Issuer, or by any prospective target business with which the Issuer has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement for a business combination, 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 to below (i) $10.10 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes; provided that such indemnity shall not apply if such third party or prospective target business executes an agreement waiving any claims against the Trust Account.
