In connection with the organization of the Issuer, on September 7, 2020, 2,875,000 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 375,000 Founder Shares purchased by the Sponsor are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters of the IPO do not exercise their over-allotment option in full. November 9, 2020, in connection with a decrease in the size of the IPO, the Sponsor surrendered 287,500 Founder Shares. On December 24, 2020, the Sponsor forfeited 337,500 Founder Shares following the expiration of the exercise period for the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor acknowledged that the Founder Shares would be subject to certain lock-up provisions to be contained in the Insider Letter (as defined below). The description of the lock-up is described further under “Insider Letter” in this Item 6 below.

 

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 3, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.1).

 

Unit Subscription Agreement between the Issuer and Sponsor

 

On November 9, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased 414,000 Placement Units pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The Placement Units and the securities underlying the 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 10.4 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on November 13, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.2). 

 

Insider Letter

 

On November 9, 2020, 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 the Founder Shares, Placement Units and any public shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose an amendment to the Issuer’s Memorandum and Articles of Association with respect to the Issuer’s pre-business combination activities prior to the consummation of such a business combination, (C) not to redeem any shares (including the Founder Shares and 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 Memorandum and Articles of Association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that the Founder Shares and 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, 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 Insider Letter provides that the Sponsor may not transfer any Founder Shares (except to certain permitted transferees as described in the Insider Letter) until, with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Issuer’s initial business combination; and with respect to the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, upon six months after the date of the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the Issuer’s initial business combination, the Issuer consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Issuer’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

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 November 13, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.3).

On February 16, 2022, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 338,907 founder shares to the Backstop Investors. In the event the Business Combination (as defined in the Share Transfer Agreements) has not consummated by May 12, 2022, then for each monthly period from May 12, 2022 until August 12, 2022 that the Business Combination has not closed (each such monthly period, a “Month”), then the Issuer shall cause to be paid to the Backstop Investors, at the Issuer’s discretion, either (i) a cash amount of $0.05 per share not redeemed by the Backstop Investors, for an aggregate of up to $0.15 per share, or (ii) or 0.034 Transferred Founder Shares per share not redeemed by the Backstop Investors in connection with the Special Meeting, to be transferred by the Sponsor (or its designees), for an aggregate of up to 0.1027 Transferred Founder Shares per share.
