Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
On October 24, 2021, the Issuer, previously known as B. Riley Principal 150 Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BRPM”), BRPM Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of BRPM (“Merger Sub”), and FaZe Clan Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy FaZe”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on December 29, 2021 and March 10, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy FaZe (the “Merger”), whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Legacy FaZe continued as the surviving corporation in the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BRPM (the Merger with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), BRPM changed its name to “FaZe Holdings Inc.” The Business Combination closed on July 19, 2022 (the “Closing Date”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Legacy FaZe common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (including the Legacy FaZe common stock issued upon the exercise of Legacy FaZe common stock purchase warrants and the conversion of the Legacy FaZe convertible promissory notes and Legacy FaZe’s preferred stock) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive shares of Common Stock, including Earnout Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement). In the Business Combination, CPH Phase II SPV LP received 9,220,565 shares of Common Stock (excluding Earnout Shares) and 730,794 Earnout Shares, and CPH Phase III SPV LP received 6,548,437 shares of Common Stock (excluding Earnout Shares) and 519,009 Earnout Shares, in each case, as the result of the conversion immediately prior to the Closing of Legacy FaZe convertible promissory notes held by it.
Each Earnout Share will vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture if, at any time during the period commencing 90 days after the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock exceeds certain thresholds as discussed below. One-third of these Earnout Shares will vest if the volume-weighted average price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, one-third will vest if the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $14.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, and one-third will vest if the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. Unvested Earnout Shares entitle the holder to voting rights over such shares.
