The foregoing description of the Voting and Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting and Support Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.
In connection with the Company's execution of an agreement and plan of merger, dated May 13, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), GA SQRS II entered into a support agreement (the “GA Support Agreement”) with the Company and Spaceship Purchaser, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), pursuant to which GA SQRS II agreed, among other things, that it will vote its shares of Class A and Class B 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 GA Support Agreement also includes certain restrictions on transfer of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held by GA SQRS II. In addition, GA SQRS II agreed to contribute to a direct or indirect parent company of Parent a portion of its holdings of Company common stock in exchange for equity interests in such direct or indirect parent company of Parent that would result in GA SQRS II indirectly owning approximately 8.3% of the Company following the consummation of the merger (the “GA Rollover”). The GA Rollover is conditioned, among other things, on the substantially contemporaneous funding of Accel Leaders 3 L.P. and certain of its affiliated funds (collectively, the “Accel Parties”) of its obligations under its equity commitment letter with Parent and contribution of certain shares of Class A common stock and/or Class B common stock held by the Accel Parties 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 the Accel Parties and the Casalena Parties indirectly owning approximately 8.8% 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 equity commitment letter or support agreements, as applicable, signed by the Accel Parties and the Casalena Parties. In addition, the consent of GA SQRS II is required for (i) any amendments to the respective support agreements signed by the Accel Parties 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 the Accel Parties and the Casalena Parties is required for any amendments to the GA 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 GA Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4, 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.
