Forward Share Purchase Agreement with Glazer Capital, LLC
As previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form8-K filed by GigCapital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GigCapital” or the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 10, 2019, GigCapital entered into anon-binding letter of intent with Glazer Capital, LLC (“Glazer”) for the acquisition of 750,000 shares of common stock of GigCapital, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Glazer Initial Shares”), then held by Glazer and up to an additional 250,000 shares of common stock (the “Glazer Additional Shares,” and together with the Glazer Initial Shares, the “Glazer Shares”) that Glazer may acquire prior to the closing of GigCapital’s business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Kaleyra, S.p.A. (“Kaleyra”, which term also refers to thepost-combination Delaware corporation, as GigCapital intends to change its name to Kaleyra, Inc., upon the closing of the Business Combination).
On November 19, 2019, GigCapital and Glazer entered into a Forward Share Purchase Agreement (the “Glazer Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Glazer may elect to sell and transfer to Kaleyra, and Kaleyra will purchase the Glazer Shares at a price of $10.68 per Share (the “Glazer Shares Purchase Price”). Glazer shall notify Kaleyra in writing five business days prior to the six month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date (as defined below) if it is not exercising its right to sell the Glazer Shares to Kaleyra; otherwise, absent written notification to the contrary, Glazer shall be deemed to have exercised its right to sell all of its Glazer Shares to Kaleyra. Kaleyra will purchase the Glazer Shares from Glazer on the six month anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Glazer Shares Closing Date”). As of November 11, 2019, Glazer held 922,933 shares of common stock and could acquire up to an additional 77,067 shares of common stock.
In exchange for Kaleyra’s commitment to purchase the Glazer Shares on the Glazer Shares Closing Date, Glazer agreed to continue to hold, and not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or hedge (including any transactions involving any derivative securities of Kaleyra and any Short Sales (as defined below) involving any of GigCapital and Kaleyra’s securities) the Glazer Shares prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing Date”). Glazer further agreed that it will not redeem any of the Glazer Shares in conjunction with GigCapital’s stockholders’ approval of the Business Combination. “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sales contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as definedin Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and othertransactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, commencing on the day after the Business Combination Closing Date, Glazer may sell the Glazer Shares in the open market as long as the sales price is above $10.50 per Glazer Share.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, Kaleyra will deposit $10.68 million (or such lesser amount as is equal to $10.68 multiplied by the number of Glazer Shares held by Glazer at the Business Combination Closing Date), the aggregate amount necessary to purchase the Glazer Shares, into an escrow account with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”), subject to the terms of an escrow agreement. Kaleyra’s purchase of the Glazer Shares will be made with funds from the escrow account attributed to the Glazer Shares. In the event that Glazer sells any Glazer Shares as provided for above, it shall provide notice to Kaleyra within three business days of such sale, and Glazer shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release from the escrow account for Kaleyra’s use without restriction an amount equal to the pro rata portion of the escrow attributed to the Glazer Shares which Glazer has sold. In the event that Glazer chooses not to sell to Kaleyra any Glazer Shares that it owns as of the six month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date, Glazer shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release all remaining funds from the escrow account for Kaleyra’s use without restriction.
Notwithstanding Kaleyra’s commitment to deposit up to $10.68 million in escrow account for the purchase of the Glazer Shares, GigCapital shall use its best efforts to enter into a letter of credit agreement for the issuance of a standby letter of credit for the benefit of Glazer with Bank of America or another bank acceptable to Glazer (the “Issuing Bank”) as soon as possible to replace the escrow account. If the letter of credit agreement is entered into prior or simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, Kaleyra will deposit the $10.68 million (or such lesser amount as is equal to $10.68 multiplied by the number of Glazer Shares held by Glazer at the Business
