On June 10, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Nebula Acquisition Corporation, the Issuer’s predecessor company (“Nebula”), consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2020 (as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”)) with Open Lending, LLC., a Texas limited liability company, BRP Hold 11, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Blocker”), the Blocker’s sole stockholder (the “Blocker Holder”), Nebula Parent Corp., a Delaware corporation (“ParentCo”), NBLA Merger Sub LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Merger Sub LLC”), NBLA Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub Corp”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, as the Securityholder Representative. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, each of the following transactions occurred in the following order: (i) Merger Sub Corp merged with and into Nebula (the “First Merger”), with Nebula surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of ParentCo (the “NAC Surviving Company”); (ii) immediately following the First Merger and prior to the Blocker Contribution (as defined below), Blocker redeemed a specified number of shares of Blocker common stock in exchange for cash (the “Blocker Redemption”); (iii) immediately following the Blocker Redemption, ParentCo acquired, and the Blocker Holder contributed to ParentCo the remaining shares of Blocker common stock after giving effect to the Blocker Redemption (the “Blocker Contribution”) such that, following the Blocker Contribution, Blocker is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo; (iv) immediately following the Blocker Contribution, Merger Sub LLC merged with and into Open Lending LLC (the “Second Merger”), with Open Lending LLC surviving the Second Merger as a direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo (the “Surviving Company”); (v) immediately following the Second Merger, Blocker acquired, and ParentCo contributed to Blocker, all common units of the Surviving Company directly held by ParentCo after the Second Merger such that the Surviving Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blocker; and (vi) the NAC Surviving Company acquired, and ParentCo contributed to the NAC Surviving Company, the remaining shares of Blocker common stock after giving effect to the Blocker Redemption and the Blocker Contribution (the “ParentCo Blocker Contribution”) such that, following the ParentCo Blocker Contribution, Blocker was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the NAC Surviving Company.
Immediately upon the completion of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”, and such completion, the “Closing”), Open Lending LLC became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo. In connection with the Transactions, ParentCo changed its name to Open Lending Corporation.
Pursuant to the terms of the Transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the 6,775,000 shares of Class B common stock of ParentCo held by Nebula Holdings prior to the Business Combination were ultimately exchanged for: (a) 6,775,000 shares of Common Stock, and (b) the right to receive 1,250,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, if the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Issuer’s Common Stock exceeded certain price thresholds as described below (the “Earnout Shares”). Nebula Holdings would receive Earnout Shares as follows: (i) 625,000 shares of Common Stock, if prior to or as of the second anniversary of the Closing, the VWAP was greater than or equal to $12.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period; and (ii) 625,000 shares, if prior to or as of the 30-month anniversary of the Closing, the VWAP was greater than or equal to $14.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period. On July 21, 2020, Nebula Holdings acquired all 1,250,000 Earnout Shares, which had been earned.
Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination, True Wind purchased 8,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share. The source of funds required for the purchase of such shares were from general funds available to True Wind, including capital contributions from equityholders of Nebula Holdings or its affiliates and for cash management purposes in advance of an anticipated capital call, borrowings by True Wind Capital under its existing revolving credit facility.
