Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the Business Combination, Michael Nieri and each of the Nieri Trusts, along with certain other securityholders of the Issuer, entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with the Issuer, dated as of March 30, 2023 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the securityholders (including the applicable Reporting Persons) (i) agreed not to transfer the Class A Common Shares held by such Reporting Persons or issuable to such Reporting Persons upon conversion of Class B Common Shares or exercise of options during a specified lock-up period, subject to certain exceptions described therein and (ii) were granted certain registration rights with respect to their Class A Common Shares.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the shares held by Michael Nieri and the Nieri Trusts are subject to a lock up period commencing upon the Closing and ending on (A) with respect to 50% of the shares, one year following the Closing, and (B) with respect to the remaining 50% of the shares, two years following the Closing.

 

The description of the Registration Rights 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 Annex D to the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-267820), as amended, originally filed by the Issuer with the SEC on October 11, 2022 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 2).

 

Subscription Agreements

 

As disclosed in Item 3 above, the Nieri Trusts entered into the Subscription Agreements with DHHC. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, DHHC granted certain registration rights to the Nieri Trusts with respect to their unregistered Class A Common Stock. The obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements were conditioned upon customary closing conditions, including the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Business Combination.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Lock-Up Agreements and the PIPE Subscription Agreements, as applicable, each of the Nieri Trusts have agreed to subject all of the Class A Common Stock held by each such investor following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by their respective Share Lock-Up Agreement or PIPE Subscription Agreement, as applicable (the “Lock-Up Shares”), to resale and transfer restrictions for a period of one year for 50% of such Lock-Up Shares and two years for the remaining 50% of such Lock-Up Shares, subject to customary exceptions. The foregoing resale and transfer restrictions may be released or waived by the Issuer; provided that to the extent any Lock-Up Investor or PIPE Investor is granted a release or waiver from such restrictions, other Lock-Up Investors and PIPE Investors with similar restrictions will generally be automatically granted a release or waiver from the similar restrictions affecting them to the same extent. On March 30, 2023, the Issuer notified each Lock-Up Investor that the Issuer was waiving the lock-up restriction contained in the Share Lock-Up Agreements.

 

 

 

 

The description of the Subscription Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, forms of which were filed by the Issuer as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023 (and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibits 3 and 4).
