ITEM 3.	SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

The information set forth in Item 4 of the cover page and Item 4 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 3 as applicable.

 

The funds for the acquisition of the 3,162,500 Founder Shares by the Sponsor and for the acquisition of the 2,000,000 Units by Forbion Cooperatief were provided by Forbion Growth Opportunities Fund I C.V., an entity affiliated with the Sponsor and Forbion Cooperatief.

 

ITEM 4.	PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Founder Shares

 

On August 12, 2021, Forbion European Sponsor LLP paid $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, in consideration for 2,875,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, par value $0.0001. On November 23, 2021, Forbion European Sponsor LLP transferred 2,875,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of the Issuer to the Sponsor in

 

exchange for $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. On December 9, 2021, the Issuer issued an additional 287,500 Class B Ordinary Shares (together with the 2,875,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor resulting from a 1.1 for 1 share dividend. Prior to the Issuer’s initial business combination, only holders of Class B Ordinary Shares will be able to vote on the appointment of directors and on the relocation of the Issuer to a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands.

 

As described in the Issuer’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-261308, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 9, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”)) under the heading “Description of Securities – Founder Shares,” the Founder Shares will automatically be converted into Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of the Issuer’s initial business combination, on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments described therein and have no expiration date.

 

Units

 

In connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering, Forbion Cooperatief purchased 2,000,000 of the Issuer’s Units at a purchase price of $10.0 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-third of one warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share (as described more fully in the Registration Statement). The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination, and will expire five years after the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation, as described in the Registration Statement. Subject to the terms and conditions described in the Registration Statement, the Issuer may redeem the Public Warrants for cash once the Public Warrants become exercisable.

 

The Reporting Persons continuously assess the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, other developments and additional investment opportunities. Depending on such assessments, and subject to any restrictions described in the Registration Statement, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer or new securities of the Issuer or may determine to purchase, sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the Issuer’s securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons in the open market, as applicable, in privately negotiated transactions, in transactions directly with the Issuer or otherwise. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market and industry conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem material to their investment decision.

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,700,000 Private Placement Warrants of the Issuer (5,195,000 Private Placement Warrants of the Issuer when the underwriters’ over-allotment option was fully exercised on December 15, 2021), each exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant of the Issuer (the “Private Placement Warrants”). The sale of the Private Placement Warrants in connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering and subsequent over-allotment option exercise generated gross proceeds to the Issuer of $7,792,500. The Private Placement Warrants are not be transferable, assignable or salable (and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination), except as described in the Registration Statement under “Principal Shareholders—Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants.”

 

If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by the Issuer in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Units of the Issuer sold in the Issuer’s initial public offering. Any amendment to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the Private Placement Warrants require a vote of holders of at least 50% of the number of the then outstanding Private Placement Warrants.

 

Except as set forth in this Item 4, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons listed on Schedule A has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in this Item 4.

Slootweg, M. A. van Osch, G. J. Mulder, V. van Houten, D.A.F. Kersten, N.L. Luneborg, W.S.J. Joustra and J.M. Bos.

The description of the Securities Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.7 to the Registration Statement and as Exhibit 1 hereto.

 

Letter Agreement

 

On December 9, 2021, the Issuer entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with the Sponsor, and the Issuer’s directors and officers. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor, and the Issuer’s directors and officers have each agreed that if the Issuer seeks shareholder approval of a proposed business combination it will vote all shares held by it in favor of such proposed business combination.

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and the officers and directors have agreed not to transfer any Founder Shares (or shares of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earliest of  (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination, or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, 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 Issuer’s initial business combination, or (y) the date on which the Issuer completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Issuer’s public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) any of their Private Placement Warrants and Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.

 

The Letter Agreement provides exceptions pursuant to which the Sponsor can transfer such shares to certain permitted transferees as further described in the Letter Agreement. Under the Letter Agreement, neither the Private Placement Warrants nor the securities 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 Sponsor, and officers and directors also agreed they will not propose any amendment to the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligation to redeem Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Units sold in the Issuer’s initial public offering if the Issuer does not complete a business combination within 18 months from the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering (or up to 24 months from the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering if the period of time to consummate a business combination is extended in the manner described in the Registration Statement) unless the Issuer provides its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares upon approval of any such amendment.

 

Under the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor, and the officers and directors agreed to waive, with respect to any shares of the Class A Ordinary Shares held by them, any redemption rights it may have in connection with the consummation of a business combination transaction, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such business transaction or in the context of a tender offer made by the Issuer to purchase shares of the Class A Ordinary Shares.

 

The Sponsor also agreed that in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account of the Issuer (as defined in the Letter Agreement), 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 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) $10.25 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.

 

The description of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.8 to the Registration Statement and as Exhibit 2 hereto.

 

Warrant Agreement

 

On December 9, 2021, the Issuer entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent.
