Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

On July 18, 2022, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of December 20, 2021, by and among ITHAX Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ITHAX”), Ithax Merger Sub I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (“First Merger Sub”), Ithax Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Second Merger Sub”), and Mondee Holdings II, Inc. (“Preceding Mondee”), ITHAX de-registered as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands, domesticated as a corporation in the State of Delaware and changed its name to “Mondee Holdings, Inc.” (the “Domestication”).

 

In connection with the Domestication, (i) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares”), of ITHAX was converted into one share of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer; (ii) each issued and outstanding whole warrant to purchase Class A ordinary shares of ITHAX automatically represented the right to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the same terms and conditions set forth during issuance; (iii) the governing documents of ITHAX were amended and restated and became the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Issuer; and (iv) ITHAX’s name changed to “Mondee Holdings, Inc.” As a result of the Domestication, the Reporting Persons acquired 5,894,700 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Sponsor Shares”) and warrants to purchase 232,500 shares of Class A Common Stock from the Issuer.
