This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 24, 2021, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on November 23, 2022 (the “Original Schedule 13D,” and as amended hereby, this “Schedule 13D”) and relates to the Class A Ordinary Shares, nominal value €0.12 per share (the “Class A Shares”), of Lilium N.V., a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is Claude-Dornier Straße 1, Bldg. 335, 82234 Wessling, Germany.

 

Except as otherwise described herein, the information contained in the Original Schedule 13D remains in effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule 13D shall have the respective meanings set forth with respect thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

 

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

67,696,615 of the Class A Shares reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were issued to Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) in connection with the exchange of interests in Lilium GmbH, a German limited liability company (“Lilium”), into shares of the Issuer (the “Exchange”) upon the completion of the business combination (the “Business Combination”) on September 15, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) as contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated March 30, 2021, by and among Qell Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Qell”), Lilium, the Issuer, and Queen Cayman Merger LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub”) (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”). In addition, Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) subscribed for and purchased an additional 8,500,000 Class A Shares for $85,000,000 under a Subscription Agreement entered into on March 30, 2021 (the “March 2021 Subscription Agreement”) in connection with a private placement that closed simultaneous with the Business Combination on the Closing Date (the “PIPE Financing”). The Reporting Persons provided the $85,000,000 purchase price for the private placement shares from working capital.

 

On November 2, 2022, in connection with a private placement (the “Second PIPE Financing”), Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Issuer, which was subsequently amended and restated on November 17, 2022 (as amended and restated, the “2022 Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) agreed to purchase, and the Issuer agreed to issue and sell, (A) 11,538,461 Class A Shares (the “Shares”) at a per share purchase price equal to $1.30 (the “Per Share Purchase Price”); and (B) a warrant to acquire 5,769,230 Class A Shares (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms thereof) (such warrant, in substantially the form of Exhibit 7 hereto, the “2022 Warrant,” and such underlying Class A Shares, the “2022 Warrant Shares”) at a price per 2022 Warrant Share equal to the Per Share Purchase Price (subject to adjustments in accordance with the terms of the 2022 Warrant). The 2022 Warrant is exercisable on any business day prior to November 22, 2026.

 

On or around November 22, 2022, Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) paid to the Issuer $14,999,999.30 in exchange for the Shares, and the Issuer issued to Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) the 2022 Warrant.

 

On May 1, 2023, in connection with a capital raise for up to $250,000 by the Issuer (the “Capital Raise”), Aceville Pte. Limited, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tencent (“Aceville”), entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Issuer (as amended, the “2023 Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Aceville agreed to purchase, and the Issuer agreed to issue and sell, 184,210,526 warrants to acquire Class A Shares (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms thereof) (such warrants, the “2023 Warrants,” and such underlying Class A Shares, the “2023 Warrant Shares”), with each such whole 2023 Warrant initially entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Share at a price per 2023 Warrant Share equal to $1.00. (A) 130,000,000 of the 2023 Warrants will be exercisable on any business day upon issuance prior to the 10 year anniversary of the date on which the 2023 Warrants are issued (the “Expiration Date”); and (B) 54,210,526 of the 2023 Warrants (the “Delayed Exercise Warrants”) will be exercisable on any business day from the date on which the Issuer shall have instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent, that the shareholders of the Issuer have authorized the issuance of the 2023 Warrant Shares to be issued in respect of the Delayed Exercise Warrants and prior to the Expiration Date. The Expiration Date of the 2023 Warrants held by Aceville (and certain related parties) will, unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer and Aceville, automatically be extended by 5 years if the 2023 Warrants are not exercised prior to the 10 year anniversary.

 

At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement, (A) Aceville would pre-fund $100,000,000 of the total exercise price of the 2023 Warrants to the Issuer, following which the 2023 Warrants would become exercisable at a price per 2023 Warrant Share equal to $0.4571; (B) Aceville would be obligated to pre-fund an additional $75,000,000 towards the total exercise price of the 2023 Warrants to the Issuer, contingent upon the Issuer securing $75,000,000 in additional funding from third parties, following which the 2023 Warrants would be exercisable at a price per 2023 Warrant Share equal to $0.05; and (C) the Issuer would issue to Aceville the 2023 Warrants. The 2023 Warrants will not be exercisable to the extent their exercise would result in Aceville (together with its affiliates or other similarly related persons) beneficially owning in excess of 19.8% of the outstanding voting power of the shares in the Issuer’s capital immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the 2023 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the 2023 Warrants, unless certain governmental approvals are obtained or not required. In addition, the 2023 Warrants held by any holder will not be exercisable to the extent their exercise would result in such holder (together with its affiliates or similarly related parties) beneficially owning in excess of 19.99% of either the number of or the voting power of the ordinary shares of the Issuer immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the 2023 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the 2023 Warrants or if certain government approvals would be required, in each case, unless certain approvals are obtained or not required (the beneficial ownership limitations described in the foregoing sentence and this sentence are referred to herein collectively as the “Beneficial Ownership Limitations”).

 

The 2022 Warrant includes a provision to reduce the exercise price of the 2022 Warrant upon the Issuer’s sale of Class A Shares or securities linked to Class A Shares at an effective price below the exercise price of the 2022 Warrant. As a result, upon the issuance of the 2023 Warrants, the exercise price of the 2022 Warrant will be reduced to $1.00 per 2022 Warrant Share.

 

Following the execution of the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement and consummation of the aforementioned transactions (including issuance of the 2023 Warrants), the Reporting Persons will beneficially own 93,504,306 Class A Shares, including the 2022 Warrant Shares and excluding the 2023 Warrant Shares.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Business Combination Agreement, the March 2021 Subscription Agreement, the 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement, the 2022 Warrant, the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement and the 2023 Warrants do not purport to be complete descriptions of the terms thereof and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement, the March 2021 Subscription Agreement, the 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement, the 2022 Warrant, the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement and the 2023 Warrants (the form of which is to be agreed), respectively. A copy of the March 2021 Subscription Agreement is filed as Exhibit 4 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference in this Item 3. Copies of the Business Combination Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement are filed as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated by reference in this Item 3. Copies of the 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement and the form of the 2022 Warrant are filed as Exhibits 6 and 7 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference in this Item 3. A copy of the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 9 hereto, and is incorporated by reference in this Item 3. The Issuer has indicated that a copy of the form of the 2023 Warrants will be filed with a future Form 6-K.

As disclosed in the Issuer’s Form 20-F filed on March 28, 2023, David Wallerstein is deemed to beneficially own 1,746,540 Class A Shares (including 1,515,771 Class A Shares and 230,769 Class A Shares underlying a warrant exercisable within 60 days following March 17, 2023, in each case acquired by David Wallerstein in the Second PIPE Financing).

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

The following is hereby added after the second paragraph of Item 5(a):

 

As a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, the Reporting Persons and Aceville would not be considered to be, for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of the 2023 Warrant Shares, and therefore the 2023 Warrant Shares are not included in the calculations of the number and percentage of the Class A Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
