However, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by GA SQRS II, the Founder, the Casalena Foundation or any other reporting person(s).

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 of this Statement are incorporated by reference in their entirety to this Item 6.

 

The Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing Agreement on May 20, 2024 (the "Joint Filing Agreement"), pursuant to which they have agreed to file this Statement jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Exchange Act. A copy of the Joint Filing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

 

In connection with the Company’s execution of an agreement and plan of merger, dated May 13, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), Accel Leaders 3 L.P. and certain of its affiliated funds (collectively, the “Accel Parties”) entered into a support agreement (the “Accel Support Agreement”) with the Company and Spaceship Purchaser, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), pursuant to which the Accel Parties agreed, among other things, that they will vote their shares of Class A Common Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the merger and against any other action, agreement or proposal which would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Accel Support Agreement also includes certain restrictions on transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Accel Parties. In addition, (a) under the Accel Support Agreement, certain of the Accel Parties agreed to contribute to a direct or indirect parent company of Parent a portion of their holdings of Company common stock in exchange for equity interests in such direct or indirect parent company of Parent (the “Accel Rollover”) and (b) in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain of the Accel Parties, together with certain investment funds affiliated with the Accel Parties, delivered an equity commitment letter to Parent pursuant to which such parties committed, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, to acquire equity interests in such direct or indirect parent company of Parent in exchange for the cash amounts set forth therein (the “Accel Equity Investment”). The consummation of the Accel Rollover and the Accel Equity Investment would result in certain of the Accel Parties and their affiliated investment funds indirectly owning approximately 8.8% of the Company following the consummation of the merger and are conditioned, among other things, on the substantially contemporaneous contribution of certain shares of Class A Common Stock and/or Class B Common Stock held by GA SQRS II and the Founder (together with the Casalena Foundation and certain related parties, the “Casalena Parties”), as applicable, to a direct or indirect parent company of Parent, in each case in exchange for equity interests in such direct or indirect parent company of Parent that would result in GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties indirectly owning approximately 8.3% and 32.7% of the Company, respectively, following the consummation of the merger, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the support agreements signed by GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties. In addition, the consent of the Accel Parties is required for (i) any amendments to the respective support agreements signed by GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties (ii) entry by the Company and Parent into any side agreements with any other parties, and (iii) certain material adverse amendments to the Merger Agreement. The consent of both GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties is required for any amendments to the Accel Support Agreement, and each has rights equivalent to clauses (ii) and (iii) of the previous sentence. The information in this paragraph is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Accel Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Except as described above or elsewhere in this Statement or incorporated by reference in this Statement, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
