Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Institutional Investors
On February 13, 2019, the Company, the Sponsor, William D. Green, Joseph M. Tucci and Harry L. You (Messrs. Green, Tucci and You, collectively, the “Founders”) entered into agreements and arrangements with certain institutional investors pursuant to which a total of 1,500,000 Class A Shares will not be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. An aggregate of 500,000 of such shares are subject to a lock-up pursuant to which such shares may not be transferred until the 91st day following the closing of the Business Combination without the consent of the Company and the Founders, and the holder of such shares is entitled to put such shares to the Sponsor and the Founders following the lock-up period for a purchase price equal to the price at which the Company redeems Class A Shares in connection with the Business Combination (the “redemption price”), payment of which purchase price is guaranteed by the Company, and to receive from the Company a cash payment, if and to the extent necessary, but not to exceed $250,000, in order to provide such shareholder with at least a 5% return on such shares above the redemption price. With respect to 1,000,000 of such shares, the Company engaged a broker-dealer to facilitate the purchase of such shares by an institutional investor prior to the closing of the Business Combination for $9.90 per share and agreed to pay such broker-dealer an amount in cash equal to the difference between the redemption price and $9.90. In addition, the Sponsor and the Founders expect to enter into agreements prior to the closing of the Business Combination pursuant to which they will be obligated to reimburse the holder of 1,554,361 Class A Shares that are not redeemed in connection with the Business Combination (which amount may be increased by 388,590 shares) for losses that may be incurred upon the sale of such shares within a specified period following the closing, up to an agreed-upon limit, and the Company expects to be required to guarantee such reimbursement obligation.
