JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/CONSENT SOLICITATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
DATED SEPTEMBER 7, 2021

To the Shareholders of Galileo Acquisition Corp.:

You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting (the “Meeting”) of Galileo Acquisition Corp. (“Galileo”), which will be held virtually at 10 a.m., Eastern Time, on September 28, 2021. In light of ongoing developments related to the novel coronavirus, after careful consideration, Galileo has determined that the Meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted via live webcast in order to facilitate shareholder attendance while safeguarding the health and safety of Galileo’s shareholders, directors and management team. For the purposes of Galileo’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Current Charter”), the physical place of the meeting will be at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10105. You or your proxyholder will be able to attend and vote at the Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/galileoacquisitioncorp/sm2021 and using a control number assigned by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. To register and receive access to the virtual meeting, registered shareholders and beneficial shareholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) will need to follow the instructions applicable to them provided in the accompanying joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

On April 28, 2021, Galileo entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Galileo Acquisition Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Galileo (“Merger Sub”), Galileo Founders Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sponsor”), in the capacity from and after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as representative of the Galileo shareholders (other than holders of securities of Shapeways) in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Purchaser Representative”), Shapeways, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Shapeways”) and Fortis Advisors LLC, in the capacity from and after the Closing as the representative of the Shapeways Stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Seller Representative”), as it may be amended and supplemented from time to time, and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the issuance of the merger consideration thereunder (collectively, the “Business Combination”). You are being asked to vote on the Business Combination.

It is proposed that, upon the effectiveness of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Galileo will change its name to “Shapeways Holdings, Inc.” Galileo and Shapeways, following the Business Combination, are both referred to herein as the “Company” or the “Combined Company.”

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all outstanding stock of Shapeways will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive newly issued shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”); other outstanding Shapeways securities will be exchanged for rights to receive new shares of Common Stock and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for new shares of Common Stock. The total consideration received by securityholders of Shapeways from Galileo at the Closing will have an aggregate value equal to $406,000,000 (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration deliverable to Shapeways stockholders will be allocated pro rata, after giving effect to the required conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Shapeways preferred stock into shares of Shapeways common stock immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the Closing.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) prior to the Closing, Galileo will be transferred by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and domesticated as a corporation in the State of Delaware pursuant to the Domestication (defined below) and (ii) at the Closing, and following the Domestication and the PIPE Investment (defined below), Merger Sub will merge with and into Shapeways (the “Merger”), with Shapeways continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Galileo, and with each Shapeways stockholder receiving shares of Common Stock (as further described below).

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Galileo and Shapeways entered into subscription agreements with investors (the “PIPE Investors”) for an aggregate of $75,000,000 for 7.5 million shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”) at a price of $10.00 per share in a private placement in Galileo (the “PIPE Investment”) to be consummated simultaneously with the Closing. Consummation of the PIPE Investment is conditioned on the concurrent Closing of the Business Combination and other customary closing conditions. Each PIPE Investor has agreed that it and its affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in Galileo’s Trust Account (the “Trust Account”) held for its public shareholders, and has agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom).

The PIPE Investors include certain existing Shapeways stockholders. Desktop Metal, a supplier to Shapeways, has also agreed to invest $20 million in the PIPE. Upon consummation of this investment, Shapeways will be obligated to purchase $20.0 million of equipment, materials and services from Desktop Metal. Shapeways and Desktop Metal will also negotiate the terms of a strategic partnership, although there is no definitive agreement as to the terms of any such relationship and there can be no assurance that the parties will enter into any such relationship or if it will be commercially successful.

Galileo’s units, ordinary shares and warrants are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “GLEO.U,” “GLEO”, and “GLEO WS”, respectively. On August 31, 2021, the closing sale prices of Galileo’s units, ordinary shares and warrants were $11.11, $10.04, and $1.05, respectively. At the Closing of the Business Combination, each unit of Galileo will separate into its components, consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant (each warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock) and the units will cease to exist as separate securities. Galileo intends to apply for the listing of the common stock and warrants on the NYSE following the completion of the Business Combination under the symbols “SHPW” and “SHPW WS,” respectively.

Only holders of record of ordinary shares of Galileo, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), at the close of business on August 2, 2021 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of the Meeting and the right to vote and have their votes counted at the Meeting and any adjournments of the Meeting.

Galileo urges its shareholders to carefully read this entire document and the documents incorporated herein by reference.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The record date for the Meeting is August 2, 2021. Only holders of record of Ordinary Shares of Galileo at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of and to vote and have their votes counted at the Meeting and any adjournments of the Meeting.

Galileo’s units, Ordinary Shares and warrants are traded on the NYSE under the symbols “GLEO.U,” “GLEO”, and “GLEO WS”, respectively. At the Closing, each unit will separate into its components, consisting of one share of Common Stock and one warrant (each warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock) and the units will cease to exist as separate securities. Upon the Closing, Galileo intends to change its name from “Galileo Acquisition Corp.” to “Shapeways Holdings, Inc.” Galileo intends to apply to list its common stock and warrants on the NYSE under the symbols “SHPW” and “SHPW WS,” respectively, upon the Closing.

Pursuant to Galileo’s Current Charter, a Galileo public shareholder may request that Galileo redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. Holders of Galileo public shares will be entitled to receive cash for their public shares to be redeemed only if they:

(a)

hold public shares or hold public shares through units and elect to separate their units into the underlying Public Shares and warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and

prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 24, 2021 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting), (i) submit a written request to Galileo’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”) that Galileo redeem the applicable public shares for cash and

(b)

(ii) deliver share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company.

Holders of Galileo units must elect to separate the underlying shares and warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If units are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders thereof must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying shares and warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct it to do so. Galileo public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem its public shares and timely delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent, Galileo will redeem each public share for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares. As of August 31, 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $10.09 per public share. If a Galileo public shareholder exercises its redemption rights, then such shareholder will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may not be withdrawn once submitted to Galileo unless the Galileo Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). A Galileo shareholder can make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent at the address or email address listed in the accompanying joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Galileo will be required to honor such request only if made prior to the deadline for exercising redemption requests. See “Meeting — redemption rights” in the accompanying joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if a Galileo public shareholder wishes to redeem its public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Except as follows, each of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Share Escrow Amendment Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Proposal and the Director Appointment Proposal is interdependent on each other. The Organizational Documents Proposals are conditional upon the Charter Proposal; the Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other Proposal. If Galileo’s shareholders do not approve each of the Proposals other than the Organizational Documents Proposals, which are advisory in nature, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

Each of the Proposals other than the Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal must be approved by ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting.

Each of the Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal must be approved by special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two-thirds of the holders of Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting.

Except as noted below, each of the Proposals is interdependent on each other. The Organizational Documents Proposals are conditional upon the Charter Proposal; the Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other Proposal. If Galileo’s shareholders do not approve each of the Proposals submitted at the Meeting, other than the Organizational Documents Proposals, which are advisory in nature, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

Each of the Proposals other than the Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal must be approved by ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting.

Why is Galileo proposing the Domestication?

The Galileo Board believes that it would be in the best interests of Galileo to effect the Domestication: for example, the Company would owe certain taxes that would be imposed on the Company if the Company were to conduct an operating business in the United States as a foreign corporation following the Business Combination. In addition, the Galileo Board believes Delaware provides a recognized body of corporate law that will facilitate corporate governance by the Company’s officers and directors. Delaware maintains a favorable legal and regulatory environment in which to operate. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging companies to incorporate there and, in furtherance of that policy, has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible corporate laws that are regularly updated and revised to meet

TABLE OF CONTENTS

changing business needs. As a result, many corporations have initially chosen Delaware as their domicile or have subsequently reincorporated in Delaware in a manner similar to the procedures Galileo is proposing. Due to Delaware’s longstanding policy of encouraging incorporation in that state and consequently its popularity as the state of incorporation, the Delaware courts have developed a considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues and a substantial body of case law has developed construing the DGCL and establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations. It is anticipated that the DGCL will continue to be interpreted and explained in a number of significant court decisions that may provide greater predictability with respect to the Company’s corporate legal affairs.

The Domestication will not occur unless the Galileo shareholders have approved the Domestication Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal, and upon the Merger Agreement being in full force and effect prior to the Domestication.

What is involved with the Domestication?

The Domestication will require Galileo to file certain documents in the Cayman Islands and the State of Delaware. At the effective time of the Domestication, Galileo will cease to be an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and Galileo will continue as a Delaware corporation. The Current Charter will be replaced by the Proposed Charter and your rights as a shareholder will cease to be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands and will be governed by Delaware law.

How will the Domestication affect my Galileo securities?

Pursuant to the Domestication and without further action on the part of Galileo’s shareholders: (i) each outstanding ordinary share of Galileo will convert to one outstanding share of Common Stock, and (ii) each outstanding warrant to purchase ordinary shares of Galileo will convert to a warrant to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.

What changes are being made to Galileo’s Current Charter in connection with the Domestication?

In connection with the Domestication and the Merger, Galileo will be filing the Proposed Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which amends and removes the provisions of Galileo’s Current Charter that terminate or otherwise become inapplicable because of the Domestication and the Merger and otherwise provides Galileo’s shareholders with the same or substantially the same rights as they have under the Current Charter. However, the Proposed Charter will (1) change the shareholder voting threshold to remove directors for cause, (2) adopt Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain shareholder litigation, (3) change the name of Galileo to Shapeways Holdings, Inc., (4) remove or amend those provisions of the Current Charter which terminate or otherwise cease to be applicable following the Closing, and (5) add new provisions which will be applicable following the Closing. Simultaneously with the adoption of the Proposed Charter, the Galileo Board intends to adopt the Bylaws. For a summary of the differences between the Current Charter and the Proposed Charter, see the sections entitled “Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal” and “Proposal 3: The Charter Proposal.”

What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares?

For a description of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, see the description in the section entitled “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Galileo Shareholders.”

Why is Galileo proposing the Business Combination?

Galileo was organized to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Since Galileo’s organization, the Galileo Board has sought to identify suitable candidates in order to effect such a transaction. In its review of Shapeways, the Galileo Board considered a variety of factors weighing positively and negatively in connection with the Business Combination. After careful consideration, the Galileo Board has determined that the Business Combination presents a highly attractive business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of Galileo. The Galileo Board believes that, based on its review and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

consideration, the Business Combination with Shapeways presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value. However, there can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination will be achieved. Shareholder approval of the Business Combination is required by the Merger Agreement and the Current Charter as well as to comply with NYSE Listing Rule 312.03.

What will happen in the Business Combination?

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Galileo will acquire Shapeways in a transaction referred to in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as the Business Combination. At the Closing, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into Shapeways, with Shapeways continuing as the Surviving Corporation. As a result of the Merger, at the Closing, the Combined Company will own 100% of the outstanding stock of Shapeways and the Shapeways Securityholders will receive the Merger Consideration. The number of shares of newly-issued Common Stock that each Shapeways Stockholder will receive as a result of the Merger will be determined on the basis of the Conversion Ratio. Prior to the Effective Time, holders of all outstanding shares of Shapeways Preferred Stock (including former holders of Shapeways Convertible Notes that will convert into Shapeways Preferred Stock prior to the Effective Time at the election of the holders thereof) will have converted their Shapeways Preferred Stock into Shapeways Common Stock pursuant to the Shapeways Preferred Stock Exchange. At the Closing, the Shapeways Stockholders will receive the Stockholder Merger Consideration, provided that the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to Shapeways Stockholders is subject to the withholding of the Stockholder Earnout Shares, which will be deposited in the Escrow Account in accordance with the Merger Agreement and, after the Closing, is subject to reduction for the amount of any Stockholder Earnout Shares which Company Stockholders are not entitled to receive pursuant to the Earnout Terms set forth in the Merger Agreement. At the Closing, holders of Shapeways Options issued pursuant to the Shapeways Equity Plan that are outstanding as of the Closing will be assumed by and converted, subject to adjustments, into options exercisable for shares of newly-issued Common Stock of the Combined Company and, in the case of in-the-money Shapeways Options held by employees and other service providers, a right to receive an award of restricted stock units denominated in newly-issued shares of Common Stock of the Combined Company that are subject to the Earnout Terms and to service-based vesting and forfeiture restrictions. Shapeways Warrants that are outstanding as of the Closing will be assumed and converted into warrants exercisable for newly-issued Common Stock of the Combined Company and, in the case of in-the-money Shapeways Warrants, warrants exercisable for newly-issued Common Stock of the Combined Company that are subject to the vesting and forfeiture restrictions included in the Earnout Terms.

Upon the completion of the Domestication and the Business Combination, each of Galileo’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares will become one share of Common Stock of the Combined Company and each of Galileo’s issued and outstanding warrants will become a warrant to purchase an equal number of shares of Common Stock of the Combined Company.

What will Shapeways Stockholders receive in the Business Combination?

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and customary adjustments set forth therein, the aggregate consideration to be delivered to Shapeways Securityholders in connection with the Business Combination will be a number of shares of Common Stock of the Combined Company with an aggregate value equal to $406,000,000. The number of shares of newly-issued Common Stock that each Shapeways Stockholder will receive as a result of the Merger will be determined on the basis of the Conversion Ratio, which will be calculated as of immediately prior to the Effective Time based on the number of shares of Shapeways Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis, the aggregate exercise prices of all in-the-money Shapeways Options and Shapeways Warrants and the price at which Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem Public Shares in connection with the Closing, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, holders of all outstanding shares of Shapeways Preferred Stock (including the former holders of Shapeways Convertible Notes that have converted their Shapeways Convertible Notes into Shapeways Preferred Stock prior to the Effective Time) will have exchanged or converted their Shapeways Preferred Stock into Shapeways Common Stock pursuant to the Shapeways Preferred Stock Exchange at the applicable Conversion Ratio set forth in the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Merger Agreement. At the Closing, the Shapeways Stockholders will receive the Stockholder Merger Consideration, provided that the Stockholder Merger Consideration otherwise payable to Shapeways Stockholders is subject to withholding of the Stockholder Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and, after the Closing, reduction for the amount of any Stockholder Earnout Shares which Shapeways Stockholders are not entitled to receive pursuant to the Earnout Terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, as further described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Shapeways Stockholders that have validly exercised appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Stockholders”) with respect to shares of Shapeways Stock (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration with respect to the Dissenting Shares, unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder has effectively withdrawn or lost such dissenting stockholder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL.

What will holders of Shapeways Options receive in the Business Combination?

Each Shapeways Option, whether vested or unvested, exercisable or unexercisable (other than the Shapeways Non-Plan Option, which will be exercised or cancelled in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by Galileo and converted into the right to receive (A) an option to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Combined Company (each, a “Purchaser Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (a) the number of shares of Shapeways Common Stock subject to such Shapeways Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (b) ninety percent (90%) of the Conversion Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (i) the exercise price per share of such Shapeways Option divided by (ii) ninety percent (90%) of the Conversion Ratio and (B) in the case of in-the-money Shapeways Options, restricted stock units (each, a “Purchaser Earnout RSU”) granted under the Incentive Plan (subject to the approval thereof by Galileo shareholders) and the applicable award agreement and subject to the terms further described below, denominated in a number of shares of Common Stock of the Combined Company (the “Purchaser Earnout Shares”) equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Shapeways Common Stock subject to such Shapeways Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) ten percent (10%) of the Conversion Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares). Except as otherwise described herein, the Purchaser Options will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in the Shapeways Equity Plan and the applicable Shapeways Option award agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the vesting and acceleration provisions therein), except, in each case, that any references therein to Shapeways or Shapeways Common Stock will instead mean the Combined Company and the Common Stock of the Combined Company, respectively).

To receive a Purchaser Earnout RSU, a holder of an in-the-money Shapeways Option must remain in continuous service to Shapeways or its successor through the grant date of the Purchaser Earnout RSU. Additionally, the Purchaser Earnout RSUs will be subject to substantially the same service-based vesting conditions and acceleration provisions as applied to the former Shapeways Option in respect of which such Purchaser Earnout RSUs are granted; provided that the Purchaser Earnout RSUs will also be subject to the share-price based vesting and forfeiture conditions contained in the Earnout Terms, in each case as described in and subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

What will holders of Shapeways Warrants receive in the Business Combination?

Subject to receipt by the Exchange Agent of applicable Transmittal Documents executed by the holder thereof, Shapeways Warrants that are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by Galileo and converted into (A) a warrant (each, a “New Purchaser Warrant”) to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock of the Combined Company equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Shapeways Common Stock subject to such Shapeways Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (2) ninety percent (90%) of the Conversion Ratio and (B) solely with respect to Shapeways Warrants that are in-the-money immediately prior to the Effective Time, a warrant (each, an “Earnout Warrant” and together with the New Purchaser Warrants, the “Assumed Warrants”) to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock of the Combined Company (the “Warrant Earnout Shares”), which Warrant Earnout Shares shall be subject to the Earnout Terms, equal

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to the product of (a) ten percent (10%) of the number of shares of Shapeways Common Stock subject to such Shapeways Warrant multiplied by (b) the Conversion Ratio.

Except as described herein and as set forth in the Merger Agreement, each Assumed Warrant shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the applicable Shapeways Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time (with all references to Shapeways or to Shapeways Common Stock thereunder becoming references to the Combined Company and the Common Stock), except that each New Purchaser Warrant and Earnout Warrant shall have an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of the applicable Shapeways Warrant by (y) the Conversion Ratio (which price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Warrant Earnout Shares underlying the Earnout Warrants will be subject to the share-price based vesting and forfeiture conditions contained in the Earnout Terms.

Will Galileo obtain new financing in connection with the Business Combination?

Yes. Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Galileo and Shapeways entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) for an aggregate of 75 million U.S. Dollars ($75,000,000) for 7.5 million shares of Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share in a private investment in Galileo to be consummated simultaneously with the closing of the Transactions (the “PIPE Investment”). The PIPE Investors include certain existing Shapeways stockholders and Desktop Metal, a supplier to Shapeways who has agreed to invest $20.0 million in the PIPE Investment. As a result of this investment, Shapeways will be obligated to purchase $20.0 million of materials from Desktop Metal. Shapeways will also negotiate the terms of a commercial relationship, although there is no definitive agreement as to the terms of any such relationship and there can be no assurance that the parties will enter into any such relationship. During the Interim Period, Galileo may, but is not obligated to, enter into additional subscription agreements with other PIPE Investors (subject to Shapeways’ consent, in the event that any such additional subscription agreements contains terms less favorable to Galileo or to Shapeways than the terms of existing subscription agreements with PIPE Investors).

Consummation of the PIPE Investment is conditioned on the concurrent Closing and other customary closing conditions. Each PIPE Investor agreed that it and its affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account held for the Public Shareholders, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom).

Did the Galileo Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

No. The Galileo Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Merger. Galileo’s officers and directors have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and backgrounds, together with the experience and sector expertise of Galileo’s advisors, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Public Shareholders will be relying solely on the judgment of the Galileo Board in valuing Shapeways’ business and assuming the risk that the Galileo Board may not have properly valued such business.

What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, the initial shareholders and the Shapeways Stockholders hold in the Company immediately after the completion of the Business Combination?

Upon the completion of the Merger (assuming, among other things, that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon completion of the Business Combination and the other assumptions described under the section entitled “Frequently Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”), Public Shareholders will own approximately 23.4% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company, the Sponsor and initial shareholders will own approximately 5.0% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company, the Shapeways Stockholders will own approximately 58.9% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company and approximately 12.7% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company will be held by the PIPE Investors. Of the shares of Common Stock to be issued at the Closing, 3,468,392 shares (the “Earnout Shares”) will be

TABLE OF CONTENTS

deposited into escrow in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and will be subject to reduction or forfeiture during the Escrow Period in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Upon completion of the Merger, subject to the assumptions described above, excluding the Earnout Shares, Public Stockholders will own approximately 24.9% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company, the Sponsor and initial shareholders will own approximately 5.3% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company, the Shapeways Stockholders will own approximately 56.3% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company and approximately 13.5% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company will be held by the PIPE Investors.

If any of the Public Shareholders exercise their redemption rights, the percentage of the Combined Company’s outstanding common stock held by the Public Shareholders will decrease and the percentages of the Combined Company’s outstanding common stock held by the Sponsor and by the Shapeways Stockholders will increase, in each case relative to the percentage held if none of the Public Shares are redeemed.

If any of the Public Shareholders as of August 31, 2021 redeem their Public Shares at Closing in accordance with the Current Charter but continue to hold Public Warrants after the Closing, the aggregate value of the Public Warrants that may be retained by them, based on the closing trading price per Public Warrant as of August 31, 2021, would be $14,490,000 regardless of the amount of redemptions by the Public Shareholders. Upon the issuance of Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, the percentage ownership of the Combined Company by Public Shareholders who do not redeem their Public Shares will be diluted. Public Shareholders that do not redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination will experience further dilution upon the exercise of Public Warrants that are retained after the Closing by redeeming Public Shareholders. The percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that will be owned by Public Shareholders as a group will vary based on the number of Public Shares for which the holders thereof request redemption in connection with the Business Combination.

The following table illustrates varying beneficial ownership levels in the Combined Company, as well as possible sources and extents of dilution for non-redeeming Public Shareholders, assuming no redemptions by Public Shareholders, 10% redemption by Public Shareholders, 50% redemption by Public Shareholders, 75% redemption by Public Shareholders and the maximum redemptions by Public Shareholders:

	No Redemptions(1)		%		10% Redemption(2)		%		50% Redemption(3)		%		75% Redemption(4)		%		Maximum Redemption(5)		%

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What interests do Galileo’s initial shareholders, Sponsor, current officers, directors and advisors have in the Business Combination?

In considering the recommendation of Galileo’s Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, Public Shareholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as shareholders, Galileo’s initial shareholders, directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of Galileo’s other shareholders generally. Galileo’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to Galileo’s shareholders that they approve the Business Combination. Public Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

•

the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 ($0.0072 per share) for the Sponsor Shares (3,450,000 ordinary shares) which (to the extent not forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Forfeiture Letter) will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, if it is consummated, and, based on the closing trading price of ordinary shares on August 31, 2021, which is $10.04, would have an aggregate value of $34,638,000 as of the same date (not taking into account any forfeitures at Closing pursuant to the Sponsor Forfeiture Letter). If Galileo does not consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by October 22, 2021, and Galileo is therefore required to be liquidated, these shares would be worthless, as Founder Shares are not entitled to participate in any redemption or liquidation of the Trust Account. Based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.0072 that the Sponsor paid for the Sponsor Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of the Combined Company after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the Units in the IPO and the Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination;

•

the fact that designees of EBC own 150,000 ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”), issued to them for nominal consideration in connection with the IPO, and 548,000 Private Warrants, purchased by EBC at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant. If Galileo consummates the Business Combination, the Representative Shares, and the shares that issuable pursuant to the Private Warrants, will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination. Based on the closing trading price of ordinary shares on August 31, 2021, which is $10.04, the Representative Shares would have an aggregate value of $1,506,000 as of the same date. However, if Galileo does not consummate Business Combination or another business combination by October 22, 2021, and Galileo is therefore required to be liquidated, these securities may be worthless;

•

the fact that, pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement entered into by Galileo and EBC in connection with the IPO, upon consummation of the Business Combination, a transaction fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds received by Galileo in the IPO, or $4,830,000, (up to 25% of which ($1,207,500) may be paid to investment banks or other financial advisors that did not participate in the IPO and assist Galileo in consummating a business combination) (the “EBC Transaction Fee”), will be payable to EBC and EBC will also be reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses associated with services performed in connection with the IPO, up to an aggregate amount of $20,000. Accordingly, EBC has an interest in Galileo completing the Business Combination because, if the Business Combination (or another business combination) is not consummated, EBC will receive the EBC Transaction Fee or have these expenses reimbursed;

•

the fact that the Private Warrants purchased by the Sponsor will be worthless if Galileo does not consummate a business combination. As of August 31, 2021, based on the closing trading price of Public Warrants on August 31, 2021, the aggregate value of the 3,562,000 Private Warrants purchased by the Sponsor would be $3,740,100. Further, if Galileo is not able to consummate an initial business combination by October 22, 2021, the Sponsor will not have the ability to convert the Sponsor Note into 500,000 Sponsor Warrants in accordance with its terms. Based on the closing trading price of the Public Warrants on August 31, 2021, the aggregate value of the 500,000 Sponsor Warrants as of August 31, 2021, would be $525,000. Additionally, if Galileo is not able to consummate an initial business combination by October 22, 2021, Galileo may not be able to repay the Sponsor the $500,000 loan in consideration of which the Sponsor Note was issued by Galileo to the Sponsor;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the fact that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Galileo is unable to complete an initial business combination by October 22, 2021, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify Galileo to the extent necessary to preserve the Funds in the Trust Account, provided that such obligation shall only apply to the extent necessary any such claims for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Galileo, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per public share, except as to any claims by a vendor or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under Galileo’s indemnity of the underwriters of its IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

•

the fact that Galileo’s initial shareholders and the Sponsor have waived their rights to receive distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Insider Shares upon Galileo’s liquidation if Galileo is unable to consummate its initial business combination;

•

the fact that, if Galileo’s officers, directors or affiliates of Galileo incur out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination, they would be reimbursed by Galileo for such expenses only if the Business Combination or another initial business combination is consummated. As of August 31, 2021, no directors, officers or affiliates of Galileo have incurred any expenses for which they expect to be reimbursed at the Closing and no such expenses are expected to be incurred in the future;

•

the fact that pursuant to the Needham Engagement Letter and Craig Hallum Engagement Letter, Needham and Craig Hallum respectively will each be paid a Capital Markets Advisory Fee (collectively, the “Capital Markets Advisory Fees”, which fees, in aggregate, will constitute 25% of the EBC Transaction Fee ($1,207,500) pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement) at and contingent upon the Closing. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Needham Engagement Letter, at the Closing, Needham will be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses not to exceed $10,000 (including fees and disbursements to legal counsel). Accordingly, Needham and Craig Hallum have an interest in Galileo completing the Business Combination because, if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated, Needham and Craig Hallum will not receive the Capital Markets Advisory Fees and Needham will not be reimbursed for expenses pursuant to the Needham Engagement Letter;

•

the fact that, pursuant to the Stifel Engagement Letter, Stifel will be paid a placement fee in the amount of $2,580,000, which equals to 4.0% of the gross proceeds to Galileo from the PIPE Investment (excluding proceeds from PIPE Investors that were Shapeways Stockholders as of the date they entered into Subscription Agreements and excluding proceeds from Stifel or any of its affiliates), upon consummation of the PIPE Investment. Accordingly, Stifel has an interest in the Company completing the PIPE Investment and the Business Combination because, if the PIPE Investment is not consummated, Stifel will not receive the Placement Fee; and

•

the fact that, in connection with the anticipated appointment of Alberto Recchi and Patrick S. Jones, two of Galileo’s directors, as directors of the Company after the consummation of the Business Combination, Messrs. Recchi and Jones in the future will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Board determines to pay to such directors.

Please also see the sections “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Galileo’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination,” “Certain Other Benefits in the Business Combination,” “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” for more information on the interests and relationships of Galileo’s initial shareholders, Sponsor, Galileo’s current officers and directors, Galileo’s advisors and Shapeways in the Business Combination.

What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

After completion of the Business Combination, the funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay holders of the Public Shares who exercise redemption rights and, after paying the Redemptions, a portion will be used to pay transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, including fees payable by Galileo in an aggregate estimated amount of $7,450,000, excluding expense reimbursements, payable to Stifel, EBC, Needham and Craig-Hallum, and for working capital and general corporate

TABLE OF CONTENTS

purposes of Galileo and its subsidiaries. Such funds may also be used to reduce the indebtedness and certain other liabilities of Galileo and its subsidiaries. As of August 31, 2021, there were investments and cash held in the Trust Account of approximately $139.2 million. These funds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination or the Redemption of the Public Shares if Galileo is unable to complete a Business Combination by October 22, 2021.

What happens if a substantial number of Galileo’s Public Shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

Galileo’s Public Shareholders may vote in favor of the Business Combination and still exercise their redemption rights, provided that Galileo, after payment of all such redemptions and the PIPE Investment, has at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets upon the Closing. The Business Combination may be completed even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Public Shareholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by Public Shareholders.

It is a condition, which may be waived by Shapeways, that Galileo shall have, at the Closing, at least $100,000,000 in cash or cash equivalents, including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of any redemptions) and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment, prior to paying any of Galileo’s expenses and liabilities due at the Closing. If the Business Combination is completed notwithstanding Redemptions, the Company will have fewer Public Shares and Public Shareholders, the trading market for the Company’s securities may be less liquid and the Company may not be able to meet the minimum listing standards for a national securities exchange. Furthermore, the funds available from the Trust Account for working capital purposes of the Company after the Business Combination may not be sufficient for its future operations or any future potential acquisitions the Company may pursue and may not allow the Company to reduce the Company’s indebtedness and/or pursue its strategy for growth.

What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

Unless waived by the parties to the Merger Agreement, and subject to applicable law, the consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement including, among other things, receipt of the approval of the shareholders of Galileo and the approval of the Shapeways stockholders; expiration of any applicable waiting period under any antitrust laws; receipt of requisite consents from governmental authorities to consummate the Transactions, the absence of any law or order that would prohibit the consummation of the Transactions; upon the Closing, after giving effect to the completion of the Redemption and PIPE Investment, Galileo having net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001; the members of the board of directors of the Combined Company shall have been appointed or appointed as of the Closing; and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. In addition, unless waived by Galileo, and subject to applicable law, the consummation of the Business Combination is subject to conditions which include, but are not limited to, there being no Material Adverse Effect (as that term is used in the Merger Agreement) on Shapeways. Further, unless waived by Shapeways, and subject to applicable law, the consummation of the Business Combination is subject to conditions which include, but are not limited to, that upon the Closing, after giving effect to completion and payment of the redemption, if any, Galileo shall have cash or cash equivalents equal to at least $100,000,000. Unless waived, if any of these conditions are not satisfied, the Business Combination may not be consummated. For a further discussion of conditions to consummating the Business Combination, please see “Proposal 2: Business Combination Proposal.”

What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

If it is not able to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination by October 22, 2021, Galileo will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeeming its Public Shares and liquidating the Trust Account, in which case Galileo’s Public Shareholders may only receive the amount in the Trust Account as of the applicable Redemption Date, less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable, which would be only approximately $10.09 per share, based on the amount held in the Trust Account as of August 31, 2021, and Galileo’s warrants will expire worthless. In addition, certain services fees payable by Galileo to Stifel, EBC, Needham and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Craig-Hallum in an estimated amount of $7,450,000, excluding expense reimbursements, if any, would not be paid if the Business Combination is not consummated (or, in the case of EBC, if no business combination is consummated).

When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated as soon as practicable following the Meeting, which is set for September 28, 2021; however, (i) such meeting could be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is adopted by Galileo’s shareholders at the Meeting and the Galileo Shareholders elect to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or dates not later than October 22, 2021 to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Meeting, any of Proposals has not been approved, and (ii) the Closing will not occur until all conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement are satisfied or waived. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Business Combination, see “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Conditions to Closing.”

What Proposals are shareholders being asked to vote upon?

•

Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal

•

Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal

•

Proposal 3: The Charter Proposal

•

Proposal 4 – 9: The Organizational Documents Proposals

•

Proposal 10: The Share Escrow Amendment Proposal

•

Proposal 11: The NYSE Proposal

•

Proposal 12: The Incentive Plan Proposal

•

Proposal 13: The ESPP Proposal

•

Proposal 14: The Director Appointment Proposal

•

Proposal 15: The Adjournment Proposal

If Galileo’s Public Shareholders do not approve each of the Proposals, then the Business Combination may not be consummated.

In addition, as required by applicable SEC guidance, to give shareholders the opportunity to present their views on important corporate governance provisions, Galileo is requesting that its shareholders vote, on a non-binding advisory basis, upon the Organizational Documents Proposals to approve certain governance provisions contained in the Proposed Charter that materially affect shareholder rights, and will be adopted when the Proposed Charter replaces the Current Charter, if the Charter Proposal is approved by the shareholders. See “Proposal 3: The Charter Proposal.” These separate votes are not otherwise required by Delaware law separate and apart from the Charter Proposal, but pursuant to SEC guidance, Galileo is required to submit these provisions to its shareholders separately for approval. However, the shareholder votes regarding these Proposals are advisory votes, and are not binding on Galileo or the Galileo Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Charter Proposal). Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Organizational Documents Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Charter Proposal).

After careful consideration, the Galileo Board has approved the Merger Agreement and the Transactions and determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Charter Proposal, each of the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Share Escrow Amendment Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Director Appointment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each is in the best interests of Galileo and recommends that you vote “FOR” or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of these Proposals.

THE VOTE OF SHAREHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO SUBMIT THEIR PROXIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/CONSENT SOLICITATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What material negative factors did the Galileo Board consider in connection with the Business Combination?

Among the material negative factors that the Galileo Board considered in its evaluation of the Business Combination were the risk that the potential Business Combination may not be fully achieved or that the Business Combination may not be consummated; the risk of Shapeways not achieving its financial projections or planned growth initiatives and the risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully realized. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Galileo Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” as well as in the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Galileo and the Business Combination.”

Do I have redemption rights?

Pursuant to Galileo’s Current Charter, Galileo’s Public Shareholders may request that Galileo redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares if the Business Combination is consummated, subject to certain limitations, for cash equal to the applicable redemption price; provided, however, that Galileo may not redeem such shares to the extent that such redemption would result in Galileo having net tangible assets (as determined under the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001 upon the completion of the Business Combination.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(a)

hold Public Shares or hold Public Shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying Public Shares and warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and

(b)

prior to 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 24, 2021 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting), (i) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Galileo’s transfer agent, that Galileo redeem your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms and (ii) deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company.

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so.

Public Shareholders may seek to have their shares redeemed regardless of (i) whether or not they vote on any of the Proposals, (ii) if they vote, whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, and (iii) whether or not they were holders of Galileo Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date or acquired their shares after the Record Date.

The redemptions will be effectuated in accordance with the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law. Any Public Shareholder who holds Ordinary Shares of Galileo on or before September 24, 2021 (two (2) business days before the Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest earned on the Trust Fund not previously released to Galileo (net of taxes payable), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of the Business Combination, provided that such Public Shareholders follow the procedures provided for exercising such redemption set forth in the Current Charter, as described below, by such date. However, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims that could take priority over those of Public Shareholders exercising redemption rights, regardless of whether such holders vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal and whether such holders are holders of Galileo Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. A Public Shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if the Business Combination is completed. Holders of warrants will not have redemption rights.

Further, each Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will

TABLE OF CONTENTS

be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a Public Shareholder or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by Galileo. Any Public Shareholder who holds less than 15% of the Public Shares may have all of the Public Shares held by him or her redeemed for cash.

If a Public Shareholder has exercised its redemption rights with respect to public shares, but the Business Combination is not completed, the Redemptions will be canceled and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant Public Shareholders as appropriate.

How do I exercise my redemption rights?

Pursuant to Galileo’s Current Charter, a Public Shareholder may request that Galileo redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated, subject to certain limitations, for cash equal to the applicable Redemption Price; provided, however, that Galileo may not redeem such shares to the extent that such redemption would result in Galileo having net tangible assets (as determined under the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001 upon the completion of the Business Combination.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(a)

(b)

prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 24, 2021 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting), (i) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Galileo’s transfer agent, that Galileo redeem your Public Shares for cash and (ii) deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company.

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal.

Any request for Redemption, once made by a Public Shareholder, may not be withdrawn once submitted to the Company unless the Galileo Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). You may make such request by contacting Galileo’s Transfer Agent at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

Any corrected or changed written demand of redemption rights must be received by Galileo’s Chief Financial Officer two business days prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination at the Meeting. No demand for Redemption will be honored unless the holder’s share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent at least two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting.

Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates and other redemption forms should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is Galileo’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, Galileo does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Public Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their banks, brokers or other nominees to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge a nominal fee to the tendering broker and it would be up to the broker whether or not

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

If a Public Shareholder properly demands redemption as described above, then, if the Business Combination is completed, Galileo will redeem the shares subject to the redemptions for cash. Such amount will be paid promptly after completion of the Business Combination. If you exercise your redemption rights, then you will be exchanging your Galileo shares for cash and will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.

If you are a Public Shareholder and you exercise your redemption rights, it will not result in either the exercise or loss of any Galileo warrants. Your Galileo warrants will continue to be outstanding following a Redemption of your Public Shares and will become exercisable in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. Holders of Units have waived redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination.

If you intend to seek redemption of your Public Shares, you will need to deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (either physically or electronically) to Galileo’s transfer agent prior to the meeting, as described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. If you have questions regarding the certification of your position or delivery of your shares, please contact:

Will how I vote on the Business Combination Proposal affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

No. If you have redemption rights, you may exercise your redemption rights irrespective of whether you vote your Ordinary Shares for or against the Business Combination Proposal or any other Proposal described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

If I am a holder of units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units?

No. Holders of outstanding units must elect to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If you hold your units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and public warrants, or if you hold units registered in your own name, you must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct them to do so. If you fail to cause your Public Shares to be separated and delivered to the transfer agent by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 24, 2021, you will not be able to exercise your redemption rights with respect to your Public Shares.

What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders that exercise their redemption rights?

For a description of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders that exercise their redemption rights, see the description in the section entitled “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Redemption — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders that Elect to Have Their Ordinary Shares Converted for Cash.”

Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination?

Shareholders of Galileo do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or under the DGCL.

What do I need to do now?

Galileo urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the Business

Combination will affect you as a Galileo shareholder. Public Shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

How do I vote?

The Meeting will be held via live webcast at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on September 28, 2021. For the purposes of Galileo’s Current Charter, the physical place of the meeting will be 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10105. The Meeting can be accessed by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/galileoacquisitioncorp/sm2021, where you will be able to listen to the Meeting live and vote during the Meeting. Please note that you will only be able to access the Meeting by means of remote communication.

If you are a holder of record of Galileo Ordinary Shares on the record date, you may vote at the Meeting or by submitting a proxy for the Meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Meeting and vote, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Any proxy may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before the polls close at the Meeting. A proxy may be revoked by filing with Galileo’s Chief Financial Officer (Galileo Acquisition Corp., 1049 Park Ave. 14A, New York NY 10028) either (i) a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the date of such proxy, (ii) a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares, or (iii) by attending the Meeting and voting online.

Simply attending the Meeting will not constitute revocation of your proxy. If your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee who is the record holder, you must follow the instructions of your broker or other nominee to revoke a previously given proxy.

If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent.

As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular Proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that Proposal.

This is called a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker-non votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on any of the Proposals.

For the Proposals in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, your broker will not have the discretionary authority to vote your shares. Accordingly, your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares at the Meeting only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares as soon as possible in accordance with directions you provide.

When and where will the Meeting be held?

The Meeting will be held via live webcast at 10:00 am, Eastern Time, on September 28, 2021, unless the Meeting is adjourned.

For the purposes of Galileo’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the physical place of the meeting will be 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10105.

What are the recommendations of the Board?

The Galileo Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals to be presented at the Meeting are in the best interest of Galileo and recommends that Galileo’s shareholders vote “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the Share Escrow Amendment Proposal “FOR” the NYSE Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the ESPP Proposal “FOR” each of the director nominees set forth in the Director Appointment Proposal, and, if presented at the Meeting, “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

The existence of financial and personal interests of Galileo’s directors and officers may result in conflicts of interest, including a conflict between what may be in the best interests of Galileo and its shareholders and what may be best for a director’s personal interests when determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. These conflicts of interest include, among other things, that if Galileo does not consummate an initial business combination by October 22, 2021, Galileo may be forced to liquidate and the Founder Shares held by Galileo’s officers, directors and the Sponsor, which is affiliated with certain of Galileo’s officers, and the 3,562,000 Private Warrants purchased by the Sponsor and the Sponsor Warrants (if issued at Closing at the option of the Sponsor) would be worthless. See the sections entitled “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Galileo’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” for more information.

How do Galileo’s initial shareholders intend to vote their shares?

All of Galileo’s initial shareholders have previously agreed to vote all ordinary shares owned by them in favor of a business combination proposed to them for approval, including the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

May Galileo’s initial shareholders purchase Public Shares or warrants prior to the Meeting?

At any time prior to the Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Galileo or Galileo’s securities, Galileo’s initial shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Galileo Ordinary Shares or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the Proposals presented to shareholders for approval at the Meeting are approved or to provide additional equity financing. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options.

Entering into any such incentive arrangements may have a depressive effect on outstanding Galileo Ordinary Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either prior to or immediately after the Meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Proposals to be presented at the Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such Proposals would be approved. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Galileo will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Proposals to be voted on at the Meeting. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

What happens if I sell my Ordinary Shares before the Meeting?

The Record Date for the Meeting is earlier than the date of the Meeting and earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your Ordinary Shares after the applicable record date, but before the Meeting, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at the Meeting with respect to such shares, but the transferee, and not you, will have the ability to redeem such shares (if time permits).

How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of Galileo’s Ordinary Shares, warrants and units?

On April 27, 2021, the last trading date before the public announcement of the Business Combination, Galileo’s Ordinary Shares, warrant and units closed at $10.07, $0.9499 and $10.85, respectively.

On August 31, 2021, the closing sale prices of Galileo’s Ordinary Shares, warrants and units were $10.04, $1.05, and $11.11 respectively.

May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

Yes. Shareholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Galileo’s Chief Financial Officer at the address set forth below so that it is received by Galileo’s Chief Financial Officer prior to the vote at the Meeting (which is scheduled to take place September 28, 2021) or attend and vote at the virtual Meeting in person by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/galileoacquisitioncorp/sm2021 and entering the assigned control number. Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Galileo’s Chief Financial Officer, which must be received by Galileo’s Chief Financial Officer prior to the vote at the Meeting. However, if your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the Meeting?

If you fail to take any action with respect to the Meeting and the Business Combination is approved by shareholders and consummated, you will become a shareholder and/or warrant holder of the Company. If you fail to take any action with respect to the Meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will remain a shareholder and/or warrant holder of Galileo. However, if you fail to take any action with respect to the Meeting, you will nonetheless be able to elect to redeem your Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, provided you follow the instructions in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus for redeeming your shares.

What should I do with my share certificates, warrant certificates and/or unit certificates?

Pursuant to the Current Charter, a Public Shareholder may request that Galileo redeem all or a portion of such Public Shareholder’s Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(a)

hold Public Shares or hold Public Shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying Public Share and warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and

(b)

prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 24, 2021 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting) (i) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent that the Company redeem your Public Shares for cash and (ii) deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

As noted above, holders of units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. Holders may instruct their broker to do so, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of such Public Shareholder’s Public Shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem its Public Shares and timely delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the transfer agent, Galileo will redeem each ordinary share for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds (net of required tax payments), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.

If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed Public Shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may not be withdrawn once submitted to Galileo unless the Galileo Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). The holder can make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent, at the address or email address listed in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Galileo will be required to honor such request only if made prior to the deadline for exercising redemption requests. See “Meeting — redemption rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Galileo warrant holders should not submit certificates, if any, relating to their warrants. Public shareholders who do not elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for the pro rata share of the Trust Account should not submit the certificates relating to their Public Shares.

Upon effectiveness of the Business Combination, subject to the treatment of certain ordinary shares pursuant to the Sponsor Forfeiture Letter and the Sponsor Escrow Agreement, holders of Galileo Ordinary Shares and warrants will receive Common Stock and warrants to receive Common Stock of the Company without needing to take any action and, accordingly, such holders should not submit the certificates, if any, relating to their Ordinary Share or warrants. In addition, before the Closing, each outstanding unit of Galileo (each of which consists of one Ordinary Share and one warrant to purchase one Ordinary Share) will be separated into its components of shares and warrants.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Ordinary Shares.

Proposals to be Submitted at the Meeting

Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal

Galileo and Shapeways and the other parties thereto have agreed to the Business Combination under the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement. If the Business Combination Proposal (described below) is approved and the Business Combination is to be consummated, prior and as a condition to the Closing, Galileo will (a) be transferred by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and domesticated as a corporation in the State of Delaware (which is referred to herein as the “Domestication”); (b) in connection therewith, adopt upon the Domestication taking effect, the Proposed Charter, in the form appended to this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex A, in place of Galileo’s Current Charter; and (c) file the Proposed Charter with the Secretary of State of Delaware. At the time of the Domestication and the Closing, simultaneously with the adoption of the Proposed Charter, the Galileo Board intends to adopt Bylaws in the form appended as Annex B to this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Upon effectiveness of the Domestication, all of Galileo’s outstanding securities will convert to outstanding securities of the continuing corporation.

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal — Reasons for the Domestication,” the Galileo Board has decided that it would be in the best interests of Galileo to effect the Domestication in connection with the Business Combination.

The Domestication Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by Galileo’s shareholders. The Domestication Proposal is to be submitted for consideration and vote by the Public Shareholders by special resolution.

For additional information, see “Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal” section of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal

This section describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex C, and the related agreements. Galileo’s shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read such agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination.

Merger Agreement

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) the Domestication will occur prior to and as a condition to the Closing and (ii) at the Closing, and following the Domestication and the PIPE Investment, Merger Sub will merge with and into Shapeways (the “Merger”), with Shapeways continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Galileo, and with each Shapeways stockholder receiving newly issued shares of Galileo at the Closing (as further described below). Simultaneously with entering into the Merger Agreement, Galileo entered into Subscription Agreements with PIPE Investors to purchase a total of 7.5 million shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share, with aggregate gross proceeds to Galileo of $75,000,000. The PIPE Investors include certain existing Shapeways stockholders and Desktop Metal, a supplier to Shapeways who has agreed to invest $20.0 million in the PIPE Investment. Upon consummation of this investment, Shapeways will be obligated to purchase $20.0 million of equipment,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

materials and services from Desktop Metal. Shapeways and Desktop Metal will also negotiate the terms of a strategic partnership, although there is no definitive agreement as to the terms of any such relationship and there can be no assurance that the parties will enter into any such relationship or if it will be commercially successful. For additional information concerning Shapeways’ strategic partnership with Desktop Metal see the section entitled “Background of the Business Combination”.

The total consideration received by Shapeways Securityholders from Galileo at the Closing will have an aggregate value equal to $406,000,000 (the “Merger Consideration”), payable, in the case of Shapeways Stockholders, solely in new shares of Common Stock and, in the case of other Shapeways Securityholders, in new shares of Common Stock and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for new shares of Common Stock. The Merger Consideration deliverable to Shapeways Stockholders will be allocated pro rata based on their ownership of Shapeways after giving effect to the required conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Shapeways Preferred stock into shares of Shapeways Common Stock immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the Closing.

After the Closing, shares of Common Stock representing 10% of the Merger Consideration (the “Earnout Consideration”) will be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions based upon the VWAP of Common Stock reaching targets of $14.00 and $16.00, respectively (with 50% released at each target) for a period of 30 consecutive trading days during the three-year period after the Closing (the “Earnout Terms”), with the portion of such shares that would otherwise be deliverable to Shapeways Stockholders at the Closing being withheld from payment and deposited into escrow pursuant to a mutually agreeable escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”). A pro rata portion of the Earnout Shares will be allocated to Shapeways options and warrants that are exchanged for options and warrants (as applicable) for shares of Galileo at the Closing (as described below).

Redemption Rights

(a)

(b)

prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 24, 2021 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting), (i) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Galileo’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), that Galileo redeem your Public Shares for cash and (ii) deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

As noted above, holders of units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders of units hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct it to do so.

Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares regardless whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem its Public Shares and timely delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent, Galileo will redeem each such public share for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares. As of August 31, 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $10.09 per Public Share.

If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed Public Shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. The holder can request redemption of Public Shares by contacting the Transfer Agent, at the address or email address listed in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Galileo will be required to honor such request only if made prior to the deadline for exercising redemption requests. Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may not be withdrawn once submitted to Galileo unless the Galileo Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). See “Meeting — redemption rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

In order for Public Shareholders to exercise their redemption rights in respect of the Business Combination Proposal, Public Shareholders must properly exercise their right to redeem the Public Shares they hold no later than the close of the vote on the Business Combination Proposal and deliver their share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 24, 2021 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, Galileo will satisfy the exercise of redemption rights by redeeming the Public Shares issued to the Public Shareholders that validly exercised their redemption rights.

Appraisal Rights

Shareholders of Galileo do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Galileo has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person (which would require presence at the virtual Meeting) if it revokes its proxy before the Meeting. A shareholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “Meeting — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Interests of Galileo’s initial shareholders, Sponsor, Officers and Directors in the Business Combination

•

the fact that the designees of EBC own 150,000 ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”), issued to them for nominal consideration in connection with the IPO, and 548,000 Private Warrants, purchased by EBC at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant. If Galileo consummates the Business Combination, the Representative Shares, and the shares that issuable pursuant to the Private Warrants, will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination. Based on the closing trading price of ordinary shares on August 31, 2021, which was $10.04, the Representative Shares would have an aggregate value of $1,506,000 as of the same date. However, if Galileo does not consummate Business Combination or another business combination by October 22, 2021, and Galileo is therefore required to be liquidated, these securities may be worthless.

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EBC has an interest in Galileo completing the Business Combination because, if the Business Combination (or another business combination) is not consummated, EBC will receive the EBC Transaction Fee or have these expenses reimbursed;

•

the fact that the Private Warrants purchased by the Sponsor will be worthless if Galileo does not consummate a business combination. As of August 31, 2021, based on the closing trading price of Public Warrants on August 31, 2021, the aggregate value of the 3,562,000 Private Warrants purchased by the Sponsor would have been $3,740,100. Further, if Galileo is not able to consummate an initial business combination by October 22, 2021, the Sponsor will not have the ability to convert the Sponsor Note into 500,000 Sponsor Warrants in accordance with its terms. Based on the closing trading price of the Public Warrants on August 31, 2021, the aggregate value of the 500,000 Sponsor Warrants as of August 31, 2021, would have been $525,000. Additionally, if Galileo is not able to consummate an initial business combination by October 22, 2021, Galileo may not be able to repay the Sponsor the $500,000 loan in consideration of which the Sponsor Note was issued by Galileo to the Sponsor;

•

the fact that, in connection with the anticipated appointment of Alberto Recchi and Patrick S. Jones, two of Galileo’s directors, as directors of the Company after the consummation of the Business Combination, Messrs. Recchi and Jones in the future they will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Board determines to pay to such directors.

At any time prior to the Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Galileo or its securities, Galileo’s initial shareholders, Shapeways and/or their respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such securities purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the Proposals presented to shareholders for approval at the Meeting are approved or to provide additional equity financing. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options.

Entering into any such incentive arrangements may have a depressive effect on outstanding Galileo Ordinary Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Proposals to be presented at the Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such Proposals would be approved. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Galileo will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Proposals to be voted on at the Meeting. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Certain Other Benefits in the Business Combination

In addition to the interests of Galileo’s initial shareholders, Sponsor, directors and officers in the Business Combination, Galileo shareholders should be aware that EBC, the underwriter for Galileo’s IPO, Stifel, Needham and Craig Hallum have financial interests in the Business Combination.

•

Pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement entered into by Galileo and EBC in connection with the IPO, a transaction fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds received by Galileo in the IPO, or $4,830,000, up to 25% of which may be paid to investment banks or other financial advisors that did not participate in the IPO and assist Galileo in consummating a business combination (the “EBC Transaction Fee”), will be payable to EBC upon consummation of the Business Combination. At the Closing, EBC shall also be reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses associated with services performed in connection with the IPO, up to an aggregate amount of $20,000. Accordingly, EBC has an interest in Galileo completing the Business Combination because, if the Business Combination, or another business combination, is not consummated, EBC will not receive the EBC Transaction Fee or be reimbursed for expenses pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement.

•

In addition, designees of EBC own 150,000 ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”), issued to them for nominal consideration in connection with the IPO, and 548,000 Private Warrants, purchased by EBC at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant. If Galileo consummates the Business Combination, the Representative Shares, and the shares that issuable pursuant to the Private Warrants, will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination. However, if Galileo does not consummate Business Combination or another business combination by October 22, 2021, and Galileo is therefore required to be liquidated, these securities may be worthless.

•

In connection with the Business Combination, on April 26, 2021, Galileo entered into capital markets advisory agreements (the “Capital Markets Advisor ELs”) with Needham and Craig Hallum with, pursuant to which a capital markets advisory fee (collectively, the “Capital Markets Advisory Fees”) will be payable to each of Needham and Craig Hallum at, and contingent upon, the Closing. The Capital Markets Advisory Fees, in aggregate, will constitute 25% of the EBC Transaction Fee pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Capital Markets Advisor with Needham, at the Closing, Needham will be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses not to exceed $10,000 (including fees and disbursements to legal counsel). Accordingly, Needham and Craig Hallum have an interest in Galileo completing the Business Combination because, if the Business Combination or another business combination, is not consummated, Needham and Craig Hallum will not receive the Capital Markets Advisory Fees and Needham will not be reimbursed for expenses pursuant to its Capital Markets Advisor EL with Galileo.

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, not to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate, regardless of whether the PIPE Investment is consummated. Accordingly, Stifel has an interest in the Company completing the PIPE Investment and the Business Combination because, if the PIPE Investment is not consummated, Stifel will not receive the Placement Fee.

Emerging Growth Company

Galileo is currently an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in Galileo’s periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Galileo elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of Galileo’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

Once Galileo loses its “emerging growth company” status, it will no longer be able to take advantage of certain exemptions from reporting, and it will also be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Galileo will incur additional expenses in connection with such compliance and Galileo’s management will need to devote additional time and effort to implement and comply with such requirements.

Additionally, Galileo is a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements.

Risks Related to Shapeways’ Business, Brand, Products and Industry

•

Shapeways has a history of losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

•

Shapeways faces significant competition and expect to face increasing competition in many aspects of its business, which could cause our operating results to suffer.

•

The digital manufacturing industry is a relatively new and emerging market and it is uncertain whether it will gain widespread acceptance.

•

If Shapeways fails to grow its business as anticipated, its revenues, gross margin and operating margin will be adversely affected.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data (the “Summary Pro Forma Information”) gives effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination (the “Transactions”). The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although Galileo will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Shapeways in the Business Combination, Galileo will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be reflected as the equivalent of Shapeways issuing shares for the net assets of Galileo, followed by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Shapeways. There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities as a result of the Domestication. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on June 30, 2021. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020.

The Summary Pro Forma Information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes thereto. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements and related notes of Galileo and Shapeways for the applicable periods included in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. The Summary Pro Forma Information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Galileo’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the Summary Pro Forma Information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of Galileo following the reverse recapitalization

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of Common Stock:

•

Assuming Minimum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no Public Shareholders of Galileo exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares.

•

Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that 11,340,931 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of $114,430,000 assuming a $10.09 per share Redemption Price and based on funds in the Trust Account and working capital available to Galileo outside of the Trust Account as of June 30, 2021. The Merger Agreement includes a condition to the Closing, waivable by Shapeways, that, at the Closing, Galileo have cash or cash equivalents, including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment any Redemptions) and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment, prior to giving effect to the payment of Galileo’s unpaid transaction expenses or liabilities, at least equal to one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000). As all of Galileo’s initial shareholders waived their redemption rights, only redemptions by Public Shareholders are reflected in this presentation. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “minimum redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum redemptions.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE INFORMATION

The following table sets forth summary historical comparative share information for Galileo and Shapeways and unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information of Galileo after giving effect to the Transactions, presented under the two assumed redemption scenarios as follows:

•

Assuming Minimum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no Public Shareholders of Galileo exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares.

•

Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that 11,340,931 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of $114,430,000, assuming a $10.09 per share Redemption Price and based on funds in the Trust Account and working capital available to Galileo outside of the Trust Account as of June 30, 2021. The Merger Agreement includes a condition to the Closing, waivable by Shapeways, that, at the Closing, Galileo have cash or cash equivalents, including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment any Redemptions) and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment, prior to giving effect to the payment of Galileo’s unpaid transaction expenses or liabilities, at least equal to one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000). As all of Galileo’s initial shareholders waived their redemption rights, only redemptions by Public Shareholders are reflected in this presentation. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “minimum redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum redemptions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TICKER SYMBOLS AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION

Galileo

Units, Ordinary Shares and Warrants

Galileo units commenced public trading on October 18, 2019, and Galileo Ordinary Shares and warrants commenced separate public trading on November 14, 2019. Galileo’s units, each consisting of one Ordinary Share and one warrant, will automatically separate into their component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, will cease to exist as a separate security. Upon the Closing, Galileo intends to change its name from “Galileo Acquisition Corp.” to “Shapeways Holdings, Inc.” Galileo intends to apply to continue the listing of its Common Stock and warrants on NYSE under the symbols “SHPW” and “SHPW WS,” respectively, upon the Closing.

Holders

As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 17,400,000 Ordinary Shares outstanding. As of August 2, 2021, there was one holder of record of Units, 16 holders of record of Ordinary Shares and three holders of record of Warrants. The number of holders of record does not include a substantially greater number of “street name” holders or beneficial holders whose units, Ordinary Shares and warrants are held of record by banks, brokers and other financial institutions.

Dividend Policy

Galileo has not paid any cash dividends on its Ordinary Shares to date and does not intend to pay any cash dividends prior to the completion of the Business Combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon the Company’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of the Business Combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to the Business Combination will be within the discretion of the Company Board at such time.

Shapeways

There is no public market for shares of Shapeways equity securities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider all the following risk factors, together with all of the other information in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, including the financial information, before deciding how to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to approve the Proposals described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

The value of your investment following the completion of the Business Combination will be subject to significant risks affecting, among other things, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the events described below occur, the Company’s post-Business Combination business and financial results could be adversely affected in material respects. This could result in a decline, which may be significant, in the trading price of the Company’s securities and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment. The risk factors described below are not necessarily exhaustive and you are encouraged to perform your own investigation with respect to the businesses of Galileo and Shapeways.

Throughout this section, references to the “Company” refer to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as the context so requires.

Risks Related to the Business Combination

The Business Combination is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all.

Unless waived by the parties to the Merger Agreement, and subject to applicable law, the consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. For more information about conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “Proposal No. 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to Closing.”

The Merger Agreement includes a Minimum Cash Condition as a Condition to the consummation of the Merger, which may make it more difficult for Galileo to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

The Merger Agreement provides that Shapeways’ obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, Galileo have at least $100,000,000 in cash andcash equivalents, including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion andpayment of any redemptions) and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment, prior to paying any of Galileo’sexpenses and liabilities due at the Closing (the “Minimum Cash Condition”).

This condition is for the sole benefit of Shapeways. If such condition is not met, and such condition is not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. The Merger Agreement also contains a mutual condition that as of the Closing, Galileo shall have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001.

There can be no assurance that Shapeways could and would waive the Minimum Cash Condition. Furthermore, as provided in the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will Galileo redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause Galileo’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated.

If such conditions are waived and the Business Combination is consummated with less than the Minimum Available Cash Amount in the Trust Account, the cash held by the Company (including Shapeways) in the aggregate, after the Closing may not be sufficient to allow Galileo to operate and pay Galileo’s bills as they become due. Furthermore, Galileo’s affiliates are not obligated to make loans to Galileo in the future (other than the Sponsor’s commitment to provide Galileo loans in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination). The additional exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of Galileo’s public shareholders may make Galileo unable to take such actions as may be desirable in order to optimize the capital structure of the Company after consummation of the Business Combination and Galileo may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund Galileo’s expenses and liabilities after the Closing. Any such event in the future may negatively impact the analysis regarding Galileo’s ability to continue as a going concern at such time.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The ability of Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to Public Shares may prevent Galileo from completing the Business Combination or maximizing its capital structure.

Galileo does not know how many Public Shareholders will ultimately exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. As such, the Business Combination is structured based on Galileo’s expectations (and those of other parties to the Merger Agreement) as to the amount of funds available in the Trust Account after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares.

It is a condition to Shapeways’ obligation to close the Business Combination, which may be waived by Shapeways, that, upon the Closing, Galileo have cash and cash equivalents, including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of the Redemption) and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment, after giving effect to the payment of Galileo’s unpaid transaction expenses and liabilities, of an amount equal to at least $100,000,000. If too many Public Shareholders elect to redeem their shares or Shapeways does not waive the condition described in the preceding sentence as a condition to the Closing and a sufficient number of PIPE Investors default upon obligations pursuant to PIPE Subscription Agreements, the proceeds from the PIPE Investment alone may be insufficient to complete the Business Combination and additional third-party financing may not be available to Galileo. For information regarding the parameters of the minimum cash condition described in this paragraph, please see the sections of this joint proxy statement/ consent solicitation statement/prospectus entitled “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Covenants of the Parties” and “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreements — Conditions to Closing.”

There are risks to Galileo’s shareholders who are not affiliates of the Sponsor of becoming stockholders of the Combined Company through the Business Combination rather than acquiring securities of Shapeways directly in an underwritten public offering, including no independent due diligence review by an underwriter and conflicts of interest of the Sponsor.

Because there is no independent third-party underwriter involved in the Business Combination or the issuance of Galileo’s securities in connection therewith, investors will not receive the benefit of any outside independent review of Galileo’s and Shapeways’ respective finances and operations. Underwritten public offerings of securities conducted by a licensed broker-dealer are subjected to a due diligence review by the underwriter or dealer manager to satisfy statutory duties under the Securities Act, the rules of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) and the national securities exchange where such securities are listed. Additionally, underwriters or dealer-managers conducting such public offerings are subject to liability for any material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement filed in connection with the public offering. As no such review will be conducted in connection with the Business Combination, Galileo’s shareholders must rely on the information in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an independent underwriter in a public securities offering.

If Shapeways became a public company through an underwritten public offering, the underwriters would be subject to liability under Section 11 of the Securities Act for material misstatements and omissions in the initial public offering registration statement. In general, an underwriter is able to avoid liability under Section 11 if it can prove that, it “had, after reasonable investigation, reasonable ground to believe and did believe, at the time . . . the registration statement became effective, that the statements therein (other than the audited financial statements) were true and that there was no omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.” In order to fulfill its duty to conduct a “reasonable investigation,” an underwriter will, in addition to conducting a significant amount of due diligence on its own, usually require that an issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm provide a comfort letter with respect to certain numbers included in the registration statement and will require the law firm for the issuer to include in its legal opinion to the underwriters a statement that such counsel is not aware of any material misstatements or omissions in the initial public offering registration statement (“Counsel Negative Assurance Statements”). Auditor comfort letters and Counsel Negative Assurance Statements are generally not required in connection with private companies going public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, such as Galileo, and no auditor comfort letters or Counsel Negative Assurance Statements have been requested or obtained in connection with the Business Combination or the preparation of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, the amount of due diligence conducted by Galileo and its advisors in connection with the Business Combination may not be as high as would have been undertaken by an underwriter in connection with an initial public offering of Shapeways. Accordingly, it is possible that defects in Shapeway’s business or problems with Shapeway’s management that would have been discovered if Shapeways conducted an underwritten public offering will not be discovered in connection with the Business Combination, which could adversely affect the market price of the Combined Company Common Stock.

Unlike an underwritten initial public offering, the initial trading of the Combined Company’s securities will not benefit from the book-building process undertaken by underwriters that helps to inform efficient price discovery with respect to opening trades of newly listed shares and underwriter support to help stabilize, maintain or affect the public price of the new issue immediately after listing. The lack of such a process in connection with the listing of the Combined Company’s securities on the NYSE could result in diminished investor demand, inefficiencies in pricing and a more volatile public price for the Combined Company’s securities during the period immediately following the listing.

Furthermore, the Sponsor and certain of Galileo’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders generally. Such interests may have influenced Galileo’s directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/ prospectus. See “— Since the Sponsor and Galileo’s directors and officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of Galileo’s shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Shapeways is appropriate as Galileo’s initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in Galileo if the business combination is not completed.” and in “Proposal 2 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Galileo’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination.” In addition, the value of the Sponsor’s Founder Shares will be significantly greater than the amount the Sponsor paid to purchase such shares in the event we complete an initial business combination, even if the business combination causes the trading price of the Combined Company’s common stock to materially decline.

Since the Sponsor and Galileo’s directors and officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of Galileo’s shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Shapeways is appropriate as Galileo’s initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in Galileo if the business combination is not completed.

When you consider the recommendation of the Galileo Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Galileo’s directors and officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of Galileo’s shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

•

Prior to Galileo’s IPO, the Sponsor purchased 3,450,000 Galileo ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.007 per share (after taking account of the subsequent Share Dividend). As a result of the significantly lower investment per share of the Sponsor as compared with the investment per share of Public Shareholders, a transaction which results in an increase in the value of the investment of the Sponsor may result in a decrease in the value of the investment of Public Shareholders. In addition, if Galileo does not consummate a business combination by October 22, 2021, it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidating and dissolving, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 3,450,000 Galileo ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor would be worthless because following the redemption of the Public Shares, Galileo would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor and Galileo’s directors and officers have agreed to waive their respective rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account in respect of any Galileo ordinary shares held by it or them, as applicable, if Galileo fails to complete a business combination within the required period. Additionally, in such event, the 3,562,000 private placement warrants purchased by the Sponsor

TABLE OF CONTENTS

simultaneously with the consummation of Galileo’s IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $3,562,000 and the Sponsor Warrants (if issued at Closing at the option of the Sponsor) will also expire worthless. Galileo’s directors and executive officers also have a direct or indirect economic interest in such private placement warrants and in the 3,450,000 Galileo Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor. Pursuant to the PIPE Investment, the Sponsor has agreed to surrender for cancellation 690,000 Galileo Ordinary Shares in connection with the PIPE Investment. The remaining 2,760,000 shares of the Combined Company’s common stock into which the 2,760,000 Galileo ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $27.7 million based upon the closing price of $10.04 per public share on the NYSE on August 31, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/ consent solicitation statement/prospectus. However, given that such shares of Common Stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, Galileo believes such shares have less value. The 3,562,000 Combined Company warrants into which the 3,562,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $3.7 million based upon the closing price of $1.05 per public warrant on the NYSE on August 31, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus. On August 31, 2021, the closing sale prices of Galileo’s units, Ordinary Shares, and warrants were $11.11, $10.04, and $1.05, respectively.

•

Albert Recchi, the Chief Financial Officer and a director of Galileo and Patrick S. Jones, a director of Galileo, are expected to be directors of the Combined Company after the consummation of the Business Combination. As such, in the future, each of Messrs. Recchi and Jones may receive fees for his service as a director, which may consist of cash or stock-based awards, and any other remuneration that the Company’s board of directors determines to pay to its non-employee directors.

•

Galileo’s existing directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under Galileo’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

•

In order to protect the amounts held in Galileo’s Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Galileo if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Galileo, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of Galileo’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

•

Galileo’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination. However, if Galileo fails to consummate a business combination by October 22, 2021, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Galileo may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by such date.

The existence of personal and financial interests of one or more of Galileo’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of Galileo and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. For additional information on the interests and relationships of Galileo’s Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors and officers in the Business Combination see the sections titled “Summary of the Joint Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus Interests of Galileo’s initial shareholders, Sponsor, Officers and Directors in the Business Combination,” “Proposal No. 2 — The Business Combination Proposal —Interests of Galileo’s Directors and Officers and Others in the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Business Combination,” “Certain Other Benefits in the Business Combination,” “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities.”

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsor as well as Galileo’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Shapeways as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with Shapeways and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of Shapeways’ board of directors to vote for the proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

Neither the Galileo Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination.

Neither the Galileo Board nor any committee thereof is required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price that Galileo is paying for Shapeways is fairto Galileo from a financial point of view. Neither the Galileo Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third-party valuation in connection with the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, the Galileo Board and management conducted due diligence on Shapeways and researched the industry in which Shapeways operates. The Galileo Board reviewed, among other things, financial due diligence materials prepared by professional advisors, financial and market data information on selected comparable companies, the implied purchase price multiple of Galileo and the financial terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interest of Galileo shareholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Galileo Board and management in valuing Shapeways, and the Galileo Board and management may not have properly valued Shapeways’ business. The lack of a third-party valuation may also lead an increased number of shareholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares, which could potentially adversely impact Galileo’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities and may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and stock price, which could cause Galileo shareholders to lose some or all of your investment.

Although Galileo has conducted due diligence on Shapeways, Galileo cannot assure Public Shareholders that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in Shapeways’ businesses, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Galileo’s or Shapeways’ control will not later arise. As a result, Galileo may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure Galileo’s operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if the due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with Galileo’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on Galileo’s liquidity, the fact that Galileo reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about Galileo or Galileo’s securities. Accordingly, any shareholders who choose to remain shareholders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by Galileo’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

The Sponsor and EBC have entered into a letter agreement with Galileo to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Galileo public shareholders vote.

Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor and EBC pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, have agreed, among other things, to vote in favor of all the proposals being presented at the Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger). As of the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, the Sponsor and EBC in the aggregate own approximately

TABLE OF CONTENTS

20.0% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares (excluding the private placement shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and the Sponsor Warrants). Accordingly, the Business Combination could be approved even if the majority of the votes cast by the Public Shareholders are against it.

The Sponsor Letter Agreement may be amended without shareholder approval.

The Sponsor Letter Agreement contains provisions relating to transfer restrictions of Galileo’s Sponsor Shares, the Representative Shares and other Galileo securities held by the Sponsor, indemnification of the Trust Account and waiver of redemption rights and participation in liquidation distributions from the Trust Account. The Sponsor Letter Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto, without shareholder approval. While Galileo does not expect the Galileo Board to approve any amendment to this agreement prior to the Business Combination, it may be possible that the Galileo Board, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties and any restrictions under the Merger Agreement, chooses to approve one or more amendments to such agreement. Any such amendment may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in Galileo’s securities or the likelihood that there will not be Public Share redemptions that could affect the ability to consummate the Business Combination.

The exercise of Galileo’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in Galileo’s shareholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing of the Business Combination, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require Galileo to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Shapeways, or to waive rights that Galileo is entitled to under the Merger Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Galileo’s business, a request by Galileo to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement, or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Shapeways’ business and would entitle Galileo to terminate the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at Galileo’s discretion, acting through the Galileo Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or she or they may believe is best for Galileo and Galileo’s shareholders and what he or she or they may believe is best for himself or herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, Galileo does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that Galileo’s directors and executive officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, Galileo will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and re-solicit Galileo’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on Galileo’s shareholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

The Sponsor, Galileo’s directors, officers, advisors, and their affiliates may elect to purchase public shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of Galileo ordinary shares.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Galileo or Galileo’s securities, the Sponsor or Galileo’s directors, officers, advisors or affiliates may purchase public shares from institutional and other investors, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of Galileo shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor and/or their directors, officers, advisors, or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (i) the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Proposals, the Share Escrow Amendment Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Director Appointment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued ordinary shares who, being present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting, (ii) the Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal are approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the issued ordinary shares who, being present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting, (iii) the Minimum Available Cash Condition is met and/or otherwise limit the number of public shares electing to redeem, and (iv) Company’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the PIPE Investment.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of Galileo public shares and the number of beneficial holders of Galileo securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing, or trading of Galileo’s securities on a national securities exchange.

There can be no assurance that the shares of the Combined Company’s common stock that will be issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on the NYSE following the Closing, or that the Combined Company will be able to comply with the continued listing rules of the NYSE.

In connection with the Business Combination and as a condition to Shapeways’ obligations to complete the Business Combination, the Company will be required to demonstrate compliance with the NYSE’s initial listing requirements, which generally require, among other criteria, a per share price of at least $4.00 per share and a market capitalization of at least $150,000,000. In addition to the listing requirements for the Company’s common stock, the NYSE imposes listing standards on warrants. Galileo cannot assure you that the Company will be able to meet those initial listing requirements, in which case Shapeways will not be obligated to complete the Business Combination.

In order to continue the listing of its securities on the NYSE, Galileo prior to the Business Combination, and the Combined Company following the consummation of the Business Combination, must maintain certain financial, share price and, subject to change as a result of recent rule changes proposed by the NYSE, distribution levels. Generally, a listed company must maintain a minimum market capitalization (generally $50,000,000) and a minimum number of holders of its securities (currently 300 public holders). Even if the Company’s common stock and warrants are approved for listing on the NYSE, the Company may not meet the NYSE continued listing requirements following the Business Combination.

If the NYSE delists the Company’s securities from trading on its exchange and the Company is not able to list its securities on another national securities exchange, the Company’s securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, the Company could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

•

reduced liquidity for its securities;

•

a determination that the Company’s common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the Company’s securities;

•

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The continued eligibility for listing of Galileo’s securities may depend on, among other things, the number of Galileo’s shares that are redeemed.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Because Galileo’s units and Galileo’s ordinary shares and warrants are listed on the NYSE, Galileo’s units, ordinary shares and warrants qualify as covered securities under the statute. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of Galileo’s securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While Galileo is not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, other than the State of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if Galileo was no longer listed on the NYSE, Galileo’s securities would not qualify as covered securities under the statute and Galileo would be subject to regulation in each state in which Galileo offers its securities.

If the Combined Company does not maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the redeemable warrants, public holders will only be able to exercise such redeemable warrants on a “cashless basis” which would result in a fewer number of shares being issued to the holder had such holder exercised the redeemable warrants for cash.

Except as set forth below, if the Combined Company does not maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at the time that holders wish to exercise such warrants, they will only be able to exercise them on a “cashless basis,” provided that an exemption from registration is available. As a result, the number of ordinary shares that a holder will receive upon exercise of its warrants will be fewer than it would have been had such holder exercised its warrant for cash. Further, if an exemption from registration is not available, holders would not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis and would only be able to exercise their warrants for cash if a current and effective prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is available. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Combined Company has agreed to use its best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, the Combined Company cannot assure you that it will be able to do so. If the Combined Company is unable to do so, the potential “upside” of the holder’s investment in the Combined Company’s may be reduced or the warrants may expire worthless. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the private warrants may be exercisable for unregistered ordinary shares for cash even if the prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not current and effective.

Galileo’s shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and due to future issuances pursuant to the Incentive Plan and the ESPP. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that Galileo’s current stockholders have on the management of the Company.

It is anticipated that, following the Business Combination (assuming, among other things, that no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to their public shares, and subject to the other assumptions described under the section entitled “Frequently Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”) (1) Galileo’s public shareholders are expected to own approximately 23.7% of the outstanding Common Stock, (2) the Shapeways Stockholders (without taking into account any public shares held by the Shapeways Stockholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination or purchased in the PIPE Investment or the exercise by Shapeways’ stockholders of appraisal rights) are expected to collectively own approximately 58.4% of the outstanding Common Stock, and (3) the Sponsor and other initial shareholders are expected to own approximately 5.0% of the outstanding Common Stock. Of the shares of Common Stock to be issued at the Closing, 3,396,284 shares (the “Earnout Shares”) will be deposited into escrow in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and will be subject to reduction or forfeiture during the Escrow Period in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Upon completion of the Merger, subject to the assumptions described above, excluding the Earnout Shares, Public Stockholders will own approximately 25.2% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company, the Sponsor and initial shareholders will own approximately 5.3% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company, the Shapeways Stockholders will own approximately 55.8% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company and approximately 13.7% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company will be held by the PIPE Investors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, the Combined Company’s employees and consultants hold securities which, after the Closing will be securities convertible for Common Stock, and after Business Combination, are expected to be granted equity awards under the Incentive Plan and opportunities to purchase Common Stock under the ESPP. Galileo shareholders will experience additional dilution when those equity awards and purchase rights become vested and settled or exercisable, as applicable, for shares of Common Stock and when additional shares of Common Stock are purchased under the ESPP.

A significant portion of Galileo’s total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of Common Stock to drop significantly, even if the Combined Company’s business is doing well.

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Escrow Agreement (as amended by the Share Escrow Amendment, assuming that the Share Escrow Amendment Proposal is approved by Galileo’s shareholders), in the case of the Sponsor and EBC, and pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements, in the case of the certain Shapeways Stockholders party thereof, after the consummation of the Business Combination and subject to certain exceptions, the Sponsor, EBC and the applicable Shapeways Stockholders will be contractually restricted from selling or transferring the securities that are the subject of the Share Escrow Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreements, respectively (the “Lock-Up Shares”). Such restrictions will end on the earlier of

(i)

the date that is 180 days after the Closing and

(ii)

the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the its public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

However, following the expiration of such lockup period (the “Lock-Up Period”), the Sponsor, EBC and the applicable Shapeways Stockholders will not be restricted from selling the Lock-Up Shares held by them, other than by applicable securities laws and by any other applicable restrictions described in the Merger Agreement. Additionally, the PIPE Investors, subject to the registration of the shares of Common Stock to be issued to PIPE Investors at the Closing, and holders of Public Warrants, if they exercise such Warrants, will not be restricted from selling any of their shares of Common Stock following the Closing of the Business Combination, other than by applicable securities laws. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of Common Stock. Upon completion of the Business Combination, assuming, among other things, that no Public Shares are redeemed at the Closing, and subject to the other assumptions described under the section entitled “Frequently Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages,” the Sponsor and the initial shareholders will own approximately 5.0% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company and the Shapeways Stockholders will own approximately 58.4% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company. In the event that 11,361,645 Public Shares (which is the maximum number of Public Shares which may be redeemed at the Closing as presented (and subject to the assumptions) in the “Assuming Maximum Redemption Scenario” described in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”) are redeemed in connection with the Closing, these percentages would increase to 6.2% and 72.6%, respectively.

Subject to applicable securities laws, after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the shares held by the Sponsor, EBC and the Shapeways Stockholders party to the Lock-Up Agreements, respectively, may be sold. As such restrictions on resale end and registration statements (filed after the Closing to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time) are available for use, the sale or possibility of sale of these shares could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the Company’s stock price and the market price of Common Stock could decline if the holders of shares that are currently restricted, or shares that will be restricted after the Closing during the Lock-Up Period, sell those shares or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

The historical financial results of Shapeways and unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what Shapeways’ actual financial position or results of operations would have been if it were a public company.

The historical financial results of Shapeways included in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus do not reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows it would have

TABLE OF CONTENTS

achieved as a public company during the periods presented or those the Combined Company will achieve in the future. The Combined Company’s financial condition and future results of operations could be materially different from amounts reflected in Shapeways’ historical financial statements included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, so it may be difficult for investors to compare the Combined Company’s future results to historical results or to evaluate its relative performance or trends in its business.

Similarly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Galileo’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, Shapeways being treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes in the Business Combination, the total debt obligations and the cash and cash equivalents of Shapeways on the date the Business Combination closes and the number of Galileo’s public shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of Galileo’s future operating or financial performance and Galileo’s actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from the pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

Financial projections with respect to Shapeways may not prove to be reflective of actual financial results.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Galileo Board considered, among other things, internal financial forecasts prepared by, or at the direction of, the management of Shapeways, the key elements of which are set forth in the section entitled “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Recommendation of the Galileo Board and Reasons for the Business Combination.” Shapeways does not, as a matter of general practice, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections of its future performance, revenue, financial condition or other results and does not plan to disclose projections in the future. None of these projections or forecasts were prepared with a view towards public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC, GAAP or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial forecasts. These projections and forecasts are based on various estimates and assumptions such as customer retention and customer ordering being consistent with recent historical results, diversified future market penetration by Shapeways and the addition of certain manufacturing capabilities and software offerings, among others, as further described elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, that are subject to the judgment of those preparing them. These projections and forecasts are also subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Shapeways and none of which will be updated for events after the date hereof. There can be no assurance that Shapeways’ financial condition, including its cash flows or results of operations, will be consistent with those set forth in such projections and forecasts, which could have an adverse impact on the market price of the Public Shares or the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Combined Company following the Closing. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these projections.

Galileo does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for Galileo to complete the Business Combination with which a substantial majority of Galileo shareholders do not agree.

The existing Governing Documents do not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that Galileo will not redeem public shares in an amount that would cause Galileo’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the PIPE Investment (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act).

As a result, Galileo may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial portion of public shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to Sponsor, directors or officers, or their affiliates. As of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of public shares by Galileo or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Galileo will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

The announcement of the proposed Business Combination could disrupt Shapeways’ relationships with its customers, suppliers, business partners and others, as well as its operating results and business generally.

Whether or not the Business Combination and related transactions are ultimately consummated, as a result of uncertainty related to the proposed transactions, risks relating to the impact of the announcement of the Business Combination on Shapeways’ business include the following:

•

its employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles, which might adversely affect the Company’s ability to retain and hire key personnel and other employees;

•

customers, suppliers, business partners and other parties with which Shapeways maintains business relationships may experience uncertainty about its future and seek alternative relationships with third parties, seek to alter their business relationships with Shapeways or fail to extend an existing relationship with Shapeways; and

•

Shapeways continues to expand and will continue to expend significant costs, fees and expenses for professional services and transaction costs in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

If any of the aforementioned risks were to materialize, they could lead to significant costs which may impact Shapeways and, in the future, the Company’s results of operations and cash available to fund its business.

Galileo may be forced to close the Business Combination even if Galileo determined it is no longer in its shareholders’ best interest.

Galileo’s public shareholders are protected from a material adverse event of Shapeways arising between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing primarily by the right to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting. Accordingly, if a material adverse event were to occur after approval of the Proposals at the Meeting, Galileo may be forced to close the Business Combination even if Galileo determines it is no longer in its shareholders’ best interest to do so (as a result of such material adverse event) which could have a significant negative impact on Galileo’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Galileo and Shapeways will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

Galileo and Shapeways have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Business Combination. Galileo and Shapeways may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction costs incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement (including the Business Combination), including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be paid by the Company following the Closing of the Business Combination.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Galileo’s only significant asset will be its ownership interest in Shapeways and such ownership may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable the Company to pay any dividends on the Common Stock or satisfy its other financial obligations.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Galileo will have no direct operations and no significant assets other than its ownership of Shapeways. Galileo and certain investors, the Shapeways Stockholders, and directors and officers of Shapeways and its affiliates will become stockholders of the Company. Galileo will depend on Shapeways for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

funds necessary to meet Galileo’s financial obligations, including Galileo’s expenses as a publicly traded company and to pay any dividends with respect to the Company’s common stock. The financial condition and operating requirements of Shapeways may limit Galileo’s ability to obtain cash from Shapeways. The earnings from, or other available assets of, Shapeways may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable Galileo to pay any dividends on the Company’s common stock or satisfy Galileo’s other financial obligations.

If third parties bring claims against Galileo, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price per unit in Galileo’s initial public offering).

Galileo’s placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against Galileo. Although Galileo will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than Galileo’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which Galileo does business execute agreements with Galileo waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against Galileo’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, Galileo’s management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to Galileo and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of Galileo under the circumstances.

Examples of possible instances where Galileo may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Galileo and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of Galileo’s public shares, if Galileo has not completed its business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with its business combination, Galileo will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against Galileo within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by public shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per public share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Galileo if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which Galileo has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under Galileo’s indemnity of the underwriters of Galileo’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. Galileo has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of Galileo’s company. The Sponsor may not have sufficient funds available to satisfy those obligations. Galileo has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations, and therefore, no funds are currently set aside to cover any such obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for Galileo’s business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, Galileo may not be able to complete Galileo’s business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of Galileo’s directors or officers will indemnify Galileo for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Additionally, if Galileo is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against Galileo which is not dismissed, or if Galileo otherwise enters compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Galileo’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Galileo’s shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, Galileo may not be able to return to the public shareholders $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in the initial public offering).

Galileo’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to Galileo’s Public Shareholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Galileo’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While Galileo currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that Galileo’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If Galileo’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to Galileo’s Public Shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

Warrants will become exercisable for Common Stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to Galileo shareholders.

If the Business Combination is completed, outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,910,000 shares of Common Stock will become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement governing those securities. These warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The exercise price of these warrants will be $11.50 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the prevailing market prices of Common Stock. However, there is no guarantee that the public warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless. See below risk factor, “Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the public warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment.

Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the public warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment.

The warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer and Trust, as warrant agent, and Galileo. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision or correct any mistake, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then- outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, Galileo may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although Galileo’s ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash, shorten the exercise period, or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Combined Company may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

The Combined Company has the ability to redeem outstanding warrants (excluding the private warrants) at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations, and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date Galileo sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, Galileo may exercise its redemption right even if the Combined Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force you to: (i) exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so; (ii) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants; or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your warrants.

In addition, the Combined Company may redeem your warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants prior to redemption for a number of ordinary shares determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Combined Company ordinary shares. The value received upon exercise of the warrants (1) may be less than the value the holders would have received if they had exercised their warrants at a later time where the underlying share price is higher and (2) may not compensate the holders for the value of the warrants. None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by Galileo, subject to certain circumstances, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

If Galileo requires Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares to comply with the delivery requirements for redemption, such shareholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to in the event that the Business Combination is not approved.

If Galileo requires Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares to comply with specific delivery requirements for redemption and such proposed business combination is not consummated, Galileo will promptly return such certificates to the applicable Public Shareholders. Accordingly, investors who attempted to redeem their shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after the failed acquisition until Galileo has returned their securities to them. The market price for Galileo’s shares may decline during this time and Galileo’s Public Shareholders may not be able to sell their securities when they wish to, even while other shareholders that did not seek conversion may be able to sell their securities.

If the Business Combination does not meet expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of Galileo’s securities (prior to the Closing) or the market price of the Company’s Common Stock after the Closing, may decline.

If the Business Combination does not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of Galileo’s securities prior to the Closing of the Business Combination may decline. The market values of Galileo’s securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/ prospectus, or the date on which Galileo’s shareholders vote on the Business Combination. Because the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market price of Galileo’s ordinary share, the market value of ordinary share issued in the Business Combination may be higher or lower than the values of these shares on earlier dates.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of securities of the Combined Company could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there has not been a public market for the stock of Shapeways. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Shapeways in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for Galileo’s securities develops and continues, the trading price of the securities of the Combined Company following the Business Combination could be

TABLE OF CONTENTS

volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond Galileo’s control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in Galileo’s securities and Galileo’s securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of Galileo’s securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of the securities of the Combined Company after the Closing may include:

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Combined Company’s quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to the Combined Company;

•

changes in the market’s expectations about the Combined Company’s operating results;

•

success of competitors;

•

the Combined Company’s operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•

changes in financial estimates and recommendations by any securities analysts that may cover the Combined Company or the industries in which the Combined Company operates in general;

•

operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Combined Company;

•

the Combined Company’s ability to manufacture products on a timely basis;

•

the Combined Company’s ability to expand its manufacturing capabilities to other materials;

•

the Combined Company’s ability to generate revenue from sales of its software or from “gray-labelling” and “white-labelling” its software;

•

changes in laws and regulations affecting the Combined Company’s business;

•

commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving the Combined Company;

•

changes in the Combined Company’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•

the volume of shares of Common Stock available for public sale;

•

any major change in post-Close Board or management;

•

sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock by directors, executive officers or significant shareholders, or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•

general economic and political conditions such as recessions, pandemics, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of securities, irrespective of a company’s operating performance. The stock market in general, and NYSE in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of the Combined Company’s securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stock of other companies that investors perceive to be similar to the Combined Company could depress the Combined Company’s stock price regardless of its business, prospects, financial conditions, or results of operations. A decline in the market price of Galileo’s securities also could adversely affect the Combined Company’s ability to issue additional securities and to obtain additional financing in the future.

Effect of Domestication

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of Common Stock arising under the DGCL as well as the Organizational Documents will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of Galileo’s ordinary shares arising under the Cayman Islands Companies Law as well as Galileo’s Current Charter.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of Common Stock will arise under the Organizational Documents as well as the DGCL. Those new organizational documents and the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DGCL contain provisions that differ in some respects from those in Galileo’s Current Charter and the Cayman Islands Companies Law and, therefore, some rights of holders of Common Stock could differ from the rights that holders of Galileo ordinary shares currently possess. For instance, while class actions are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands Companies Law, such actions are generally available under the DGCL. This change could increase the likelihood that the Company becomes involved in costly litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

In addition, there are differences between the new organizational documents of the Company and the current constitutional documents of Galileo. For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of Common Stock under the DGCL and how they may differ from the rights of holders of Galileo ordinary shares under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, please see the section entitled “Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Shareholder Rights under the Applicable Corporate Law Before and After the Domestication.”

The forms of the Proposed Charter and the Bylaws of the Company are attached as Annex A and Annex B, respectively, to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and Galileo urges you to read them.

Delaware Law and the Proposed Charter will contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

The Proposed Charter and the Bylaws that will be in effect upon completion of the Business Combination differ from the Current Charter. Among other differences, the Proposed Charter and the DGCL contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by the Company Board, and therefore depress the trading price of the Company’s Common Stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of the Galileo Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in management. Among other things, the Proposed Charter and the Bylaws include provisions regarding:

•

a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of the Company Board;

•

the ability of the Company Board to issue shares of preferred stock, including “blank check” preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

•

the right of the Company Board to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Company Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on the Company Board;

•

the requirement that directors may only be removed from the Company Board for cause;

•

the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the Company Board, the chairman of the Company Board or the Company’s chief executive officer, which could delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

•

controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of the Company Board and stockholder meetings;

•

the requirement for the affirmative vote of holders of 66 2∕3% of the voting power of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company, voting together as a single class to amend, alter, change or repeal certain provisions in the Proposed Charter and the Bylaws, respectively, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in the Company Board and also may inhibit the ability of an acquirer to effect such amendments to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the ability of the Company Board to amend the Bylaws, which may allow the Company Board to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the Bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt;

•

advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to the Company Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in the Company Board and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company;

•

the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of, the Company’s directors and officers;

•

the requirement that directors may only be removed from the Company Board for cause;

•

prohibit stockholder action by written consent, which requires all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of stockholders;

•

controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of the Company Board and stockholder meetings;

•

the requirement for the affirmative vote of holders of 66 2∕3%; of the voting power of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company, voting together as a single class to amend, alter, change or repeal certain provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, respectively, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in the Company Board and also may inhibit the ability of an acquirer to effect such amendments to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt;

•

the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of, the Company’s directors and officers.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the Company Board or management.

In addition, as a Delaware corporation, the Company will generally be subject to provisions of Delaware law, including the DGCL. Although the Company will elect not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, certain provisions of the Proposed Charter will, in a manner substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, prohibit certain Company stockholders (other than those stockholders who are party to a stockholders’

TABLE OF CONTENTS

agreement with the Company) who hold 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding capital stock from engaging in certain business combination transactions with the Company for a specified period of time unless certain conditions are met. See the section entitled “Description of Securities — Capital Stock of the Combined Company after the Business Combination — Anti-Takeover Effects of the Proposed Charter and the Bylaws.”

Any provision of the Proposed Charter, the Bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control could limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of the Company’s capital stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for the Company’s common stock.

The form of the Proposed Charter is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and Galileo urges you to read it.

Provisions in the Proposed Charter and Delaware law may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against the directors and officers of the Company.

Following the Domestication and Business Combination, the Proposed Charter will require that, unless the board of directors of the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, that (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee to Company or its stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Charter, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. If an action is brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel.

The Proposed Charter provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing choice of forum provision.

This provision would not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which hthe federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The Proposed Charter provides further that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

These choices of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees and may discourage these types of lawsuits. Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation or bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any applicable action brought against the Company, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in the Proposed Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action. While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions, and there can be no assurance that such provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.

Risks Related to Galileo

Galileo has no operating history and is subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement. If Galileo is unable to consummate a business combination, including the Business Combination, its Public Shareholders may be forced to wait after October 22, 2021 before receiving distributions from the Trust Account.

Galileo is a development stage blank check company, and it has no operating history and is subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement. Galileo has until October 22, 2021 to complete a business combination. Galileo has no obligation to return funds to investors prior to such date unless (i) it consummates a business combination prior thereto or (ii) it seeks to amend its Current Charter prior to consummation of a business combination, and only then in cases where investors have sought to convert or sell their shares to Galileo. Only after the expiration of this full time period will public security

TABLE OF CONTENTS

holders be entitled to distributions from the Trust Account if Galileo is unable to complete a business combination. Accordingly, investors’ funds may be unavailable to them until after such date and to liquidate their investment, public securityholders may be forced to sell their Public Shares or Warrants, potentially at a loss. In addition if Galileo fails to complete an initial business combination by October 22, 2021, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Warrants, which will expire worthless, unless Galileo amends its Current Charter to extend its life and certain other agreements it has entered into.

Public Shareholders have limited rights or interests in funds in the Trust Account. For Public Shareholders to liquidate their investment, therefore, they may be forced to sell Public Securities, potentially at a loss.

Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account either (a) because they hold Public Shares or (b) they hold Public Shares through units and have elected to separate such units into the underlying Public Shares and warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares, only upon (i) such Public Shareholder’s exercise of redemption rights in connection with Galileo’s initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination, should it occur) and then only in connection with those Public Shares that such Public Shareholder properly elected to redeem or (ii) the redemption of Public Shares if Galileo is unable to complete an initial business combination by October 22, 2021, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In addition, if Galileo is unable to complete an initial business combination by October 22, 2021, compliance with applicable law and the Current Charter may result in a delay in winding up Galileo and may require Galileo submit a plan of dissolution to its then-existing shareholders for approval prior to the distribution of the proceeds held in Galileo’s Trust Account. In that case, Public Shareholders may be forced to wait beyond October 22, 2021, before they receive funds from the Trust Account. In no other circumstances will a Public Shareholder have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, Public Shareholders may be forced to sell their Public Shares, potentially at a loss.

Galileo’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a “going concern.”

As of June 1, 2021, Galileo had approximately $456,300 in cash and may not have sufficient liquidity to fund its working capital needs. Further, Galileo has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans, including the Business Combination. Galileo cannot assure you that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination, including the Business Combination, will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from its inability to consummate the Business Combination or its inability to continue as a going concern.

Galileo’s private warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of Galileo’s warrants could have a material effect on its financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC (the “SEC Staff”) issued a statement (the “SEC Staff Statement”), wherein the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to being treated as equity. Specifically, the SEC Staff Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing Galileo’s warrants. As a result of the SEC Staff Statement, Galileo reevaluated the accounting treatment of its warrants, and pursuant to the guidance in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), determined the private warrants should be classified as derivative liabilities measured at fair value on its balance sheet, with any changes in fair value to be reported each period in earnings on its statement of operations.

As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, Galileo’s financial statements may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors, which are outside of its control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, Galileo expects that it will recognize non-cash gains or losses on its warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Galileo’s private warrants, accounted for as a warrant liability, will be recorded at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of Galileo’s ordinary shares and/or may make it more difficult for Galileo to consummate an initial business combination, if the business combination with Shapeways is not completed.

Galileo accounts for the 4,110,000 private warrants issued concurrently with the closing of the initial public offering in accordance with the guidance contained in Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (ASC 815-40). Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, Galileo will classify each private warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such remeasurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in its statement of operations and therefore its reported earnings. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of Galileo’s ordinary shares. In addition, potential targets may seek a SPAC that does not have warrants that are accounted for as a warrant liability, which may make it more difficult for Galileo to consummate an initial business combination with a target business (if the Business Combination is not completed).

Galileo identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, leading Galileo to restate previously issued financial in an amendment to Galileo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2020. If Galileo is unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in Galileo and materially and adversely affect its business and operating results.

Following the issuance of the SEC Staff Statement on April 12, 2021, after consultation with its independent registered public accounting firm, Galileo management and its audit committee concluded that, in light of the SEC Statement, it was appropriate to restate Galileo’s previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the period from July 30, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2020. As part of such process, Galileo identified a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Galileo’s financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These deficiencies could result in additional material misstatements to Galileo’s financial statements that could not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Effective internal controls are necessary for Galileo to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. Galileo continues to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

If Galileo discovers additional weaknesses in its internal controls in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit Galileo’s ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of its accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of its financial statements. In such case, Galileo may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in Galileo’s financial reporting and its share price may decline as a result. Galileo cannot assure you that the measures it has taken to date, or any measures it may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

The ability of the public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of Galileo public shares may not allow Galileo to complete the most desirable business combination or optimize the capital structure of the Company.

At the time of entering into the Merger Agreement, Galileo did not know how many shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, and therefore, Galileo needed to structure the transaction based on its expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon: (i) the approval of the each of the Domestication Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Share Escrow Amendment Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the ESPP Proposal and the Director Appointment Proposal; (ii) the expiration and termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the Merger Agreement; and (iii) the Minimum Available Cash Condition. Therefore, unless these conditions are waived by the applicable parties to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement could terminate and the Business Combination may not be consummated.

If, after Galileo distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its public shareholders, Galileo files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against Galileo that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable performance. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by Galileo’s shareholders. In addition, the Galileo Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to Galileo’s creditors or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing it and Galileo to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Galileo cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against Galileo for these reasons.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to Galileo’s public shareholders, Galileo files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against Galileo that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of Galileo’s shareholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by Galileo’s shareholders in connection with Galileo’s liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to Galileo’s public shareholders, Galileo files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against Galileo that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable insolvency law, and may be included in Galileo’s liquidation estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Galileo’s shareholders. To the extent any liquidation claims deplete the Trust Account, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by Galileo’s shareholders in connection with Galileo’s liquidation may be reduced and may be less than $10.00 per share, the offering price in the initial public offering.

Galileo’s shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Galileo to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

If Galileo is forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, Galileo was unable to pay Galileo’s debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by Galileo’s shareholders. Furthermore, Galileo’s directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Galileo or Galileo’s creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and Galileo’s company to claims, by paying public shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Galileo cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against Galileo for these reasons. Galileo and its directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of Galileo’s share premium account while Galileo was unable to pay Galileo’s debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable to a fine of $18,293 and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

The securities in which Galileo invests the funds held in the Trust Account could bear a negative rate of interest, which could reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the per-share redemption amount received by public shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

The proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. While short-term

TABLE OF CONTENTS

U.S. government treasury obligations currently yield a positive rate of interest, they have briefly yielded negative interest rates in recent years. Central banks in Europe and Japan pursued interest rates below zero in recent years, and the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has not ruled out the possibility that it may in the future adopt similar policies in the United States. In the event that Galileo is unable to complete Galileo’s initial business combination or make certain amendments to Galileo’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, Galileo’s public shareholders are entitled to receive their pro-rata share of the proceeds held in the Trust Account, plus any interest income not released to us, net of taxes payable. Negative interest rates could impact the per-share redemption amount that may be received by public shareholders.

Risks if the Domestication and the Business Combination are not Consummated

If Galileo is not able to complete the Business Combination with Shapeways by October 22, 2021 nor able to complete another business combination by such date, it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and it would redeem its ordinary shares and liquidate the Trust Account, in which case Galileo’s public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and Galileo’s warrants will expire worthless.

If Galileo is not able to complete the Business Combination with Shapeways by October 22, 2021 nor able to complete another business combination by such date, Galileo will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Galileo’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to Galileo’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. In such case, Galileo’s public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and Galileo’s warrants will expire worthless.

If Galileo has not completed its initial business combination, its public shareholders may be forced to wait until after October 22, 2021 before redemption from the Trust Account.

If Galileo has not completed its initial business combination by October 22, 2021, Galileo will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata to Galileo’s public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of Galileo’s affairs, as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Any redemption of public shareholders from the Trust Account shall be affected automatically by function of the Cayman Constitutional Documents prior to any voluntary winding up. If Galileo is required to wind-up, liquidate the Trust Account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to Galileo’s public shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Law. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond October 22, 2021, before the redemption proceeds of the Trust Account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from the Trust Account. Galileo has no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of Galileo’s redemption or liquidation unless, prior thereto, Galileo consummates its initial business combination or amend certain provisions of Galileo’s Cayman Constitutional Documents and only then in cases where investors have properly sought to redeem their public shares. Only upon Galileo’s redemption or any liquidation will public shareholders be entitled to distributions if Galileo has not completed Galileo’s initial business combination within the required time period and do not amend certain provisions of Galileo’s Cayman Constitutional Documents prior thereto.

Risks Related to Galileo’s Securities

Galileo’s outstanding warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of Ordinary Shares or may create dilution for Public Shareholders.

Galileo has issued 17,910,000 warrants that will result in the issuance of additional Ordinary Shares. Such securities, when converted or exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shares. The sale, or even the possibility of sale, of the shares underlying the warrants could have an adverse effect on the market price for Galileo’s securities. If and to the extent these warrants are converted or exercised, Galileo’s Public Shareholders may experience dilution to their holdings.

Galileo’s management’s ability to require holders of Galileo’s redeemable warrants to exercise such redeemable warrants on a cashless basis will cause holders to receive fewer Ordinary Shares upon their exercise of the redeemable warrants than they would have received had they been able to exercise their redeemable warrants for cash.

If Galileo calls Galileo’s warrants for redemption after the redemption criteria described elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus have been satisfied, Galileo’s management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his warrants (including any warrants held by Galileo’s initial shareholders or their permitted transferees) to do so on a “cashless basis.” If Galileo’s management chooses to require holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, the number of Ordinary Shares received by a holder upon exercise will be fewer than it would have been had such holder exercised his warrants for cash. This will have the effect of reducing the potential “upside” of the holder’s investment in Galileo’s company.

The terms of Galileo’s warrants may be amended in a manner that may be adverse to holders with the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding warrants.

Galileo’s warrants were issued in registered form pursuant to the Warrant Agreement between the Warrant Agent and Galileo. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision. The Warrant Agreement requires the approval by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding warrants (including the Private Placement Warrants) in order to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders. Accordingly, the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding warrants approve of such amendment. Galileo or the Company may amend the terms of the warrants with the consent of at least a majority of the then outstanding warrants to effect any change thereto, including to increase the exercise price of the warrants, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of Galileo or the Company purchasable upon exercise of a warrant. Accordingly, Galileo would need approval from the holders of only 4,425,001, or 36.9%, of the public warrants to amend the terms of the warrants (assuming that the initial shareholders do not purchase any warrants in the open-market and that the holders of the private warrants, excluding EBC voted in favor of such amendment.

Even if Galileo consummates the Business Combination, the Galileo Warrants may not be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

The exercise price for the outstanding warrants is $11.50 per Ordinary Share. There can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.

Risks Related to Redemption

Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If Galileo’s shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

A public shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if such public shareholder: (i)(a) holds public shares, or (b) if the public shareholder holds public shares through units, the public shareholder elects to separate its units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising its redemption rights with respect to the public shares; (ii) submits a written request to Continental, Galileo’s transfer agent, in which it (a) requests that the Galileo redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash, and (b) identifies itself as a beneficial holder of the public shares and provides its legal

TABLE OF CONTENTS

name, phone number, and address; and (iii) delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to Continental physically or electronically through DTC. Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m, Eastern Time, on September 24, 2021 (two business days before the Meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a public shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and Continental, will need to act to facilitate this request. It is Galileo’s understanding that public shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because Galileo does not have any control over this process or over DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to Continental, the Galileo will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account established at the consummation of the initial public offering, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled “Meeting of Galileo Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

Investors may not have sufficient time to comply with the delivery requirements associated with exercise of their redemption rights.

Pursuant to Galileo’s Current Charter, Galileo is required to give a minimum of only 10 clear days’ notice (meaning 10 days’ notice, excluding the day when the notice is received or deemed to be received and the day for which it is given or which it is to take effect) for an extraordinary general meeting. As a result, if Galileo requires public shareholders who wish to convert their public shares into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account to comply with specific delivery requirements for conversion, holders may not have sufficient time to receive the notice and deliver their shares for conversion. Accordingly, investors may not be able to exercise their redemption rights and may be forced to retain Galileo’s securities when they otherwise would not want to.

If a public shareholder fails to receive notice of Galileo’s offer to redeem public shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures required to redeem its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

If, despite Galileo’s compliance with the proxy rules, a public shareholder fails to receive Galileo’s proxy materials, such public shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem his, her, or its public shares. In addition, the proxy materials that Galileo is furnishing to holders of public shares in connection with the Business Combination describes the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem the public shares. In the event that a public shareholder fails to comply with these procedures, its public shares may not be redeemed. Please see the section entitled “Meeting of Galileo Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If a Public Shareholder or a “group” of Public Shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of Galileo’s Public Shares, that Public Shareholder or Public Shareholders will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of Galileo’s Public Shares, absent Galileo’s consent.

A holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares, which is referred to as the “Excess Shares.” Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such Excess Shares would not be redeemed for cash, without Galileo’s prior consent. However, such Public Shareholder may vote all their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against the Business Combination. A Public Shareholder’s inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce such Public Shareholder’s influence over

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Galileo’s ability to complete the Business Combination and such Public Shareholder could suffer a material loss on such Public Shareholder’s investment in Galileo if the Public Shareholder sells Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, a Public Shareholder will not receive Redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if Galileo completes the Business Combination. As a result, Public Shareholder will continue to hold that number of Public Shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell such shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

There is no guarantee that a public shareholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the public shareholder in a better future economic position.

Galileo can give no assurance as to the price at which a public shareholder may be able to sell its public shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in Galileo’s share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a public shareholder might realize in the future had the public shareholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a public shareholder does not redeem its shares, the public shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of the public shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a public shareholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. A public shareholder should consult the public shareholder’s own financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her, or its individual situation.

Risks Relating to Tax

There is a risk that a U.S. Holder may recognize taxable gain with respect to its Ordinary Shares at the effective time of the Domestication.

The Galileo Board believes the Domestication should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Domestication should fail to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Ordinary Shares generally would recognize a gain or loss with respect to its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding common stock of the Delaware corporation received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Ordinary Shares surrendered.

As described more fully under the section entitled “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Galileo Shareholders” below, it is intended that the Domestication will constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(l)(F) of the Code. Assuming that the Domestication so qualifies, U.S. Holders (as defined in such section) of Ordinary Shares will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result:

•

A U.S. Holder of Ordinary Shares whose Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication will not recognize any gain or loss and will not be required to include any part of Galileo’s earnings in income;

•

A U.S. Holder of Ordinary Shares whose Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more, but who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power and value of all classes of Ordinary Shares will generally recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of Ordinary Shares for shares in the Company (a Delaware corporation) pursuant to the Domestication. As an alternative to recognizing such gain, such U.S. Holders may file an election to include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amounts,” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to its Ordinary Shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. Galileo does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits, if any, on the date of the Domestication; and

•

A U.S. Holder of Ordinary Shares whose Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of Ordinary Shares will generally be required to include

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount,” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d))) attributable to its Ordinary Shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. Galileo does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits, if any, on the date of the Domestication.

Furthermore, even if the Domestication qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Ordinary Shares may still recognize gain (but not loss) upon the exchange of its Ordinary Shares for Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication under the PFIC, rules of the Code equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common stock of the Delaware corporation received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the corresponding Ordinary Shares surrendered in exchange therefor. The tax on any such gain so recognized would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply. In such event, the U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in Common Stock received in connection with the Domestication should be the same as the aggregate tax basis of Ordinary Shares surrendered in the transaction, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder under the PFIC rules. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Domestication, see the description in the section entitled “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Galileo Shareholders — U.S. Holders — Effect of PFIC Rules on the Domestication.”

Galileo could be adversely affected by changes in applicable tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations thereof in the United States or other jurisdictions.

Galileo could also be adversely affected by changes in applicable tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations thereof in the United States or other jurisdictions and changes in tax law could reduce Galileo’s after-tax income and adversely affect Galileo’s business and financial condition. For example, the U.S. federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), enacted in December 2017, resulted in fundamental changes to the Code, as amended, including, among many other things, a reduction to the federal corporate income tax rate, a partial limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense, a limitation on the deductibility of certain director and officer compensation expense, limitations on net operating loss carrybacks and carryovers and changes relating to the scope and timing of U.S. taxation on earnings from international business operations. Subsequent legislation, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) enacted on March 27, 2020, and subsequent federal law in response to COVID-19, including the Memorandum on Deferring Payroll Tax Obligations in Light of the Ongoing COVID-19 Disaster, dated August 8, 2020, relaxed certain of the limitations imposed by the Tax Act for certain taxable years, including the limitation on the use and carryback of net operating losses and the limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense. The exact impact of the Tax Act and the CARES Act for future years is difficult to quantify, but these changes could materially affect us, Shapeways, or its subsidiaries. In addition, other changes could be enacted in the future to increase the corporate tax rate, further limit the deductibility of interest, or effect other changes that could have a material adverse effect on Galileo’s financial condition. Such changes could also include increases in state taxes and other changes to state tax laws to replenish state and local government finances depleted by costs attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduction in tax revenues due to the accompanying economic downturn.

In addition, Galileo’s effective tax rate and tax liability are based on the application of current income tax laws, regulations and treaties. These laws, regulations and treaties are complex and often open to interpretation. In the future, the tax authorities could challenge Galileo’s interpretation of laws, regulations and treaties, resulting in additional tax liability or adjustment to Galileo’s income tax provision that could increase Galileo’s effective tax rate. Changes to tax laws may also adversely affect Galileo’s ability to attract and retain key personnel.

Galileo (or the Company following the Business Combination) could be adversely affected by changes in applicable tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations thereof in the United States or other jurisdictions and changes in tax law could reduce Galileo’s after-tax income and adversely affect Galileo’s (or

following the Business Combination, the Company’s) business and financial condition. For example, the Tax Act enacted in December 2017, resulted in fundamental changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, including, among many other things, a reduction to the federal corporate income tax rate, a partial limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense, a limitation on the deductibility of certain director and officer compensation expense, limitations on net operating loss carrybacks and carryovers and changes relating to the scope and timing of U.S. taxation on earnings from international business operations. Subsequent legislation, the CARES Act enacted on March 27, 2020, relaxed certain of the limitations imposed by the Tax Act for certain taxable years, including the limitation on the use and carryback of net operating losses and the limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense. The exact impact of the Tax Act and the CARES Act for future years is difficult to quantify, but these changes could materially affect Galileo (or the Company following the Business Combination) In addition, other changes could be enacted in the future to increase the corporate tax rate, limit further the deductibility of interest, or effect other changes that could have a material adverse effect on Galileo’s (or following the Business Combination, the Company’s) financial condition. Such changes could also include increases in state taxes and other changes to state tax laws to replenish state and local government finances depleted by costs attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduction in tax revenues due to the accompanying economic downturn.

In addition, Galileo’s (or following the Business Combination, the Company’s) effective tax rate and tax liability are based on the application of current income tax laws, regulations and treaties. These laws, regulations and treaties are complex and often open to interpretation. In the future, the tax authorities could challenge Galileo’s (or the Company’s) interpretation of laws, regulations and treaties, resulting in additional tax liability or adjustment to Galileo’s (or the Company’s) income tax provision that could increase Galileo’s (or the Company’s) effective tax rate. Changes to tax laws may also adversely affect Galileo’s (or the Company’s) ability to attract and retain key personnel.

Risks Relating to Galileo’s Organization and Structure

Because Galileo is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and certain of its officers and directors are residents of jurisdictions outside the United States, Public Shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and their ability to protect their rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

Because Galileo is currently incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, Public Shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests and their ability to protect their rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited prior to the Domestication. Galileo is currently an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon Galileo’s directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against Galileo’s directors or officers.

Until the Domestication is effected, Galileo’s corporate affairs are governed by the Current Charter, the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of Galileo Securityholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors to Galileo under the laws of the Cayman Islands are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of Galileo’s Securityholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

Galileo has been advised by its Cayman Islands legal counsel that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against Galileo judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against Galileo predicated upon the civil liability

TABLE OF CONTENTS

provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

Public Shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the Galileo Board or controlling shareholders than they would as public stockholders of a United States company.

Risks if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination and the Domestication, the Galileo Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or dates in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved, and the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The Galileo Board is seeking approval to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates if, at the Meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve each of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Share Escrow Amendment Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Director Appointment Proposal. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the Galileo Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or dates and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Share Escrow Amendment Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Director Appointment Proposal. In such events, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Risks Related to Shapeways’ Business

Following the Business Combination, the Company will be a holding company with no direct operations that relies on dividends, distributions, loans and other payments, advances and transfers of funds from Shapeways to pay dividends, pay expenses and meet its other obligations. Accordingly, the Company’s securityholders will be subject to all of the risks of the businesses of Shapeways following the Business Combination. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of Shapeways prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be the business of the Combined Company following the consummation of the Business Combination. Accordingly, the risks described below relating to Shapeways could also materially and adversely affect the Combined Company after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Shapeways has a history of losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

We experienced net losses of $3.2 million and $7.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We earned net income of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 owing to the accounting treatment of forgiveness for a Paycheck Protection Program loan received from the U.S. Small Business Administration on May 8, 2020. See “Shapeways’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations — Debt forgiveness”. As of June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $112.9 million. We believe we will continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flow in the near-term as we continue to invest significantly in our business, in particular in new printing hardware and materials, and sales and marketing programs. These investments may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business. Furthermore, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting, and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

other expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. These increased expenditures may make it harder for us to achieve and maintain profitability in the future.

We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including due to the other risks described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events. As a result, our losses may be larger than anticipated, we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and we may not achieve profitability when expected, or at all. Revenue growth and growth in our customer base may not be sustainable, and we may not achieve sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability. If our future growth and operating performance fail to meet investor or analyst expectations, or if we have future negative cash flow or losses resulting from our investment in acquiring customers or expanding our operations, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face significant competition and expect to face increasing competition in many aspects of our business, which could cause our operating results to suffer.

The digital manufacturing industry in which we operate is fragmented and competitive. We compete for customers with a wide variety of manufacturers, including those that use digital manufacturing and/or 3D printing equipment. Exclusivity arrangements in the digital manufacturing industry are uncommon; we have few exclusivity arrangements with our customers. Some of our existing and potential competitors are researching, designing, developing, and marketing other types of offerings that may render our existing or future services obsolete, uneconomical or less competitive. Existing and potential competitors may also have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and sales, manufacturing, distribution, and other resources than we do, including name recognition, as well as experience and expertise in intellectual property rights and operating within certain international markets, any of which may enable them to compete effectively against us. For example, a number of companies that have substantial resources have announced that they are beginning digital manufacturing initiatives, which will further enhance the competition we face.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our current position or continue to compete successfully against current and future sources of competition. If we do not keep pace with technological change, demand for our offerings may decline, and our operating results may suffer.

The digital manufacturing industry is a relatively new and emerging market and it is uncertain whether it will gain widespread acceptance.

The emergence of the digital manufacturing industry is a relatively recent development, and the industry is characterized by rapid technological change. We have encountered and will continue to encounter challenges experienced by growing companies in a market subject to rapid innovation and technological change. While we intend to invest substantial resources to remain on the forefront of technological development, continuing advances in digital manufacturing technology, changes in customer requirements and preferences, and the emergence of new standards, regulations, and certifications could adversely affect adoption of our products either generally or for particular applications. If the digital manufacturing industry does not gain widespread acceptance, our business will be adversely affected.

If we fail to grow our business as anticipated, our revenues, gross margin, and operating margin will be adversely affected.

Over the next several years we will attempt to grow our business substantially. To this end, we have made, and expect to continue to make, significant investments in our business, including investments in our infrastructure, technology, marketing, and sales efforts. These investments include dedicated facilities expansion and increased staffing, both domestic and international. If our business does not generate the level of revenue required to support our investment, our revenues and profitability will be adversely affected.

Our ability to effectively manage our growth will also require us to enhance our operational, financial, and management controls and infrastructure, human resources policies, and reporting systems. These will require significant investments in additional headcount and other operating expenditures and allocation of valuable management and employee resources. Our future financial performance and our ability to execute on

TABLE OF CONTENTS

our business plan will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth and expansion. There are no guarantees we will be able to do so in an efficient or timely manner, or at all.

If our new and existing solutions and software do not achieve sufficient market acceptance, our financial results and competitive position will decline.

We have not derived significant revenue from sales of our software, including “white-labeled” versions of our software, and we may never be successful in doing so. If our software offerings do not achieve widespread acceptance, or if there is a reduction in demand for our software caused by a lack of customer acceptance, technological challenges, weakening economic conditions, security or privacy concerns, competing technologies and products, decreases in corporate spending, or otherwise, our business could be adversely affected.

Our attempts to expand our business into new markets and geographies may not be successful.

We opportunistically seek to grow our business through, among other things, expanding our digital manufacturing capabilities into new markets and expanding our offerings into new geographies. Our efforts to expand our offerings into new markets, including industrial, medical, automotive, and aerospace markets, and new geographies may not succeed. These attempts to expand our business increase the complexity of our business, require significant levels of investment, and can strain our management, personnel, operations, and systems. There can be no assurance that these business expansion efforts will develop as anticipated or that we will succeed, and if we do not, we may be unable to recover our investment, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may be unable to consistently manufacture our customers’ designs to the necessary specifications or in quantities necessary to meet demand at an acceptable cost or at an acceptable performance level and this could adversely affect our service availability, delivery, reliability, and cost.

As we continue to grow and introduce new materials and as our customers’ designs become increasingly sophisticated, it will become more difficult to provide products in the necessary quantities to meet customer expectations. We cannot assure you that we or our third-party manufacturers will be able to continue to consistently achieve the product specifications and quality that our customers expect. Any future unforeseen manufacturing problems, such as equipment malfunctions, aging components, component obsolescence, business continuity issues, quality issues with components and materials sourced from third party suppliers, or failures to strictly follow procedures or meet specifications, may have a material adverse effect on our brand, business, financial condition, and operating results. Furthermore, we or our third-party manufacturers may not be able to increase manufacturing to meet anticipated demand or may experience downtime or fail to timely deliver manufactured products to customers. If we fail to meet contractual terms with our customers, including terms related to time of delivery and performance specifications, we may be required to replace defective products and may become liable for damages, even if manufacturing or delivery was outsourced.

Our commercial contracts generally contain product warranties and limitations on liability and we carry liability insurance. However, commercial terms and our insurance coverage may not be adequate or available to protect our company in all circumstances, and we might not be able to maintain adequate insurance coverage for our business in the future at an acceptable cost. Any liability claim against us that is not covered by adequate insurance could adversely affect our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Our success depends on our ability to deliver services that meet the needs of customers and to effectively respond to changes in our industry.

Our business may be affected by rapid technological change, changes in user and customer requirements and preferences, frequent new product and service introductions by our competitors, and the emergence of new technologies, any of which could render our existing and proposed offerings and proprietary technology obsolete. Accordingly, our ongoing research and development programs are intended to enable us to maintain technological leadership. Furthermore, in order to enable continuous deep integrations with our customers, we must continually update our platform so that it can interoperate with other software and systems used by our customers. We believe that to remain competitive we must continually enhance and improve the functionality and features of our services and technologies. However, there is a risk that we may not be able to:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Develop or obtain leading technologies useful in our business;

•

Enhance our existing software products;

•

Develop new services and technologies that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of prospective customers, particularly in the area of materials diversity;

•

Respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis;

•

Successfully manage frequent introductions and transitions of technology and software; or

•

Recruit or retain key technology employees.

If we are unable to meet changing technology and customer needs, or if we fail to successfully integrate new and upgraded software, our competitive position, revenue, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Failure to attract, integrate and retain additional personnel in the future could harm our business and negatively affect our ability to successfully grow our business.

To support the continued growth of our business, we must also effectively recruit, hire, integrate, develop, motivate, and retain additional new employees. High demand exists for senior management and other key personnel (including technical, engineering, product, finance, and sales personnel) in the digital manufacturing industry, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our current key personnel. We experience intense competition for qualified personnel and some of our competitors for these employees have greater resources and more experience, making it difficult for us to compete successfully for key personnel. Moreover, new employees may not become as productive as we expect since we may face challenges in adequately integrating them into our workforce and culture. If we cannot attract and retain sufficiently qualified technical employees for our research and development activities, as well as experienced sales and marketing personnel, we may be unable to develop and commercialize new offerings or new applications for existing offerings. Furthermore, possible shortages of key personnel, including engineers, in the regions surrounding our facilities could require us to pay more to hire and retain key personnel, thereby increasing our costs.

All of our U.S. employees are at-will employees, meaning that they may terminate their employment relationship with us at any time, and their knowledge of our business and industry would be extremely difficult to replace. We generally enter into non-competition agreements with our employees. These agreements prohibit our employees from competing directly with us or working for our competitors or clients while they work for us, and in some cases, for a limited period after they cease working for us. We may be unable to enforce these agreements under the laws of the jurisdictions in which our employees work and it may be difficult for us to restrict our competitors from benefiting from the expertise that our former employees or consultants developed while working for us. If we cannot demonstrate that our legally protectable interests will be harmed, we may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from the expertise of our former employees or consultants and our ability to remain competitive may be diminished.

Changes in the mix of the offerings we provide may impact our gross margins and financial performance.

Our financial performance may be affected by the mix of offerings we sell during a given period, and we may experience significant quarterly fluctuations in revenues, gross profit margins, or operating income or loss due to the impact of the mix of offerings, channels, or geographic areas in which we sell our offerings. Our offerings are sold, and will continue to be sold, at different price points. Sales of certain of our offerings have, or are expected to have, higher gross margins than others. If our offerings mix shifts into lower gross margin offerings, and we are not able to sufficiently reduce the engineering, production, and other costs associated with those offerings or substantially increase the sales of our higher gross margin offerings, our profitability could be reduced In addition, the introduction of new products or services may further heighten quarterly fluctuations in gross profit and gross profit margins due to manufacturing ramp-up and start-up costs.

We may experience significant delays in the roll out of our digital manufacturing solutions, and we may be unable to successfully commercialize manufacturing solutions on our planned timelines.

Some of our digital manufacturing solutions have not been widely released, including our software offerings and our planned “gray-label” and “white-label” platform offerings. There are often delays in the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

testing, manufacture, and commercial release of new solutions, and any delay in the process could materially damage our brand, business, growth prospects, financial condition, and operating results. Even if we successfully complete the testing of new solutions, they may not achieve widespread commercial success for a number of reasons, including:

•

misalignment between the solutions and customer needs;

•

lack of innovation of the solutions;

•

failure of the solutions to perform in accordance with the customer’s industry standards;

•

ineffective distribution and marketing;

•

delay in obtaining any required regulatory approvals;

•

unexpected production costs; or

•

release of competitive products.

We may not timely and effectively scale and adapt our platform, processes, and infrastructure across materials, technologies, markets, and software, to expand our business.

A key element to our growth strategy is the ability to scale our existing platform quickly and efficiently across different materials, technologies, and other applications. This will require us to timely and effectively scale and adapt our existing platform, technology, processes, and infrastructure to expand our business. We plan to expand into offering software as a service, but have not yet fully developed the software, and may not succeed in doing so. Similarly, our manufacturing technology may not enable us to process the large numbers of unique designs and efficiently manufacture the related parts in a timely fashion to meet the needs of customers as our business continues to grow. We may not succeed in scaling our business, and any failure in our ability to timely and effectively scale our platform, technology, processes, and infrastructure could damage our reputation and brand, result in lost revenue, and otherwise substantially harm our business and results of operations.

We rely on our collaborations and commercial agreements with third-party additive manufacturing hardware and material providers for many of our manufacturing solutions.

Our ability to deliver manufacturing solutions to our customers and expand our manufacturing capabilities that include new hardware technologies and materials such as industrial metals, is dependent on obtaining digital manufacturing hardware and materials from third-party manufacturers. Delays in readiness, capabilities and availability of technologies, hardware and materials may limit our ability to provide manufacturing capabilities to our customers according to our plan. We have historically focused on manufacturing for customers needing products based in polymers, launching new technologies and materials will require new skills, time, and inherent risks. The success of our business may also depend, in part, on the performance and operations of third-party digital manufacturing hardware and material providers and their suppliers, over which we do not have control. We cannot assure you that our efforts in securing collaboration and commercial relationships will be successful or that we will achieve the anticipated benefits of our collaboration.

Our failure to meet our customers’ speed and quality expectations would adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We believe many of our customers are facing increased pressure from global competitors to be first to market with their finished products, often resulting in a need for quick turnaround of custom parts. We believe our ability to quickly quote, manufacture, and ship high-quality custom parts has been an important factor in our results to date. There are no guarantees we will be able to meet customers’ increasing expectations regarding quick turnaround time and quality, especially as we increase the scope of our operations. If we fail to meet our customers’ expectations in any given period, our business and results of operations will likely suffer.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our customers are often price sensitive and if our pricing algorithm produces pricing that fails to meet our customers’ price expectations or insufficiently accounts for our costs to deliver our offerings, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Demand for our services is sensitive to price. We believe our competitive pricing has been an important factor in our results to date. Therefore, changes in our pricing strategies can have a significant impact on our business and ability to generate revenue. Many factors, including our production and personnel costs and our competitors’ pricing and marketing strategies, can significantly impact our pricing strategies. We use algorithms to determine how to price customer orders. We may encounter technical obstacles, and it is possible that we may discover additional problems that prevent our proprietary algorithms from operating properly.

If we fail to meet our customers’ price expectations in any given period, demand for our offerings and offering lines could decline, be negatively impacted, and our business and results of operations could suffer. If our pricing algorithms do not function reliably, we may incorrectly price services for our customers, which could result in loss and cancellation of orders and customer dissatisfaction or cause projects to lose money.

Any of these events could result in a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Sales efforts to large customers involve risks that may not be present or that are present to a lesser extent with respect to sales to smaller organizations.

Sales to large customers involve risks that may not be present or that are present to a lesser extent with sales to smaller organizations, such as longer sales cycles, more complex customer requirements, substantial upfront sales costs, less predictability in completing some of our sales, and extended payment terms. A number of factors influence the length and variability of our sales cycle, including the need to educate potential customers about the uses and benefits of our platform, the lengthier amount of time for large customers to evaluate and test our platform prior to making a purchase decision and placing an order, the discretionary nature of purchasing and budget cycles, and the competitive nature of evaluation and purchasing approval processes. As a result, the length of our sales cycle, from identification of the opportunity to deal closure, may vary significantly from customer to customer, with sales to large enterprises typically taking longer to complete. Moreover, larger organizations may demand more customization, which would increase our upfront investment in the sales effort with no guarantee that these customers will deploy our products widely enough across their organization to justify our substantial upfront investment. A portion of these customers may purchase our services on payment terms, requiring us to assume a credit risk for non-payment in the ordinary course of business. If we fail to effectively manage these risks associated with sales to large customers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be affected.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from business conducted outside the U.S. and are subject to the risk of doing business outside the United States.

We manufacture offerings for customers in more than 160 countries around the world, and we derive a substantial percentage of our sales from these international markets. We also operate manufacturing facilities in the United States and the Netherlands, have supply chain partners that extend internationally, and deliver to customers in over 16 countries. In 2020, we derived approximately 40% of our revenues from countries outside the United States. Accordingly, we face significant operational risks from doing business internationally.

These risks and uncertainties we face from our global operations include:

•

difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

•

limited protection for the enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights in certain countries where we may sell our offerings or work with suppliers or other third parties;

•

potentially longer sales and payment cycles and potentially greater difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;

•

foreign currency exchange risk

•

costs and difficulties of customizing offerings for foreign countries;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

challenges in providing solutions across a significant distance, in different languages, and among different cultures;

•

laws and business practices favoring local competition;

•

being subject to a wide variety of complex foreign laws, treaties, and regulations and adjusting to any unexpected changes in such laws, treaties, and regulations;

•

specific and significant regulations, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, which imposes compliance obligations on companies who possess and use data of EU residents;

•

uncertainty and resultant political, financial and market instability arising from the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union;

•

compliance with U.S. laws affecting activities of U.S. companies abroad, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

•

tariffs, trade barriers, and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell or develop our offerings in certain foreign markets;

•

operating in countries with a higher incidence of corruption and fraudulent business practices;

•

changes in regulatory requirements, including export controls, tariffs and embargoes, other trade restrictions, competition, corporate practices, and data privacy concerns;

•

potential adverse tax consequences arising from global operations;

•

seasonal reductions in business activity in certain parts of the world, particularly during the summer months in Europe and at year end globally;

•

rapid changes in government, economic, and political policies and conditions; and

•

political or civil unrest or instability, terrorism or epidemics, and other similar outbreaks or events.

In addition, digital manufacturing has been identified by the U.S. government as an emerging technology and is currently being further evaluated for national security impacts. We expect additional regulatory changes to be implemented that will result in increased and/or new export controls related to digital manufacturing technologies and related materials and software. These changes, if implemented, may result in our being required to obtain additional approvals to deliver our services in the global market.

Our failure to effectively manage the risks and uncertainties associated with our global operations could limit the future growth of our business and adversely affect our business and operating results.

We may not be able to establish a strategic partnership with Desktop Metal, and if such a strategic partnership is established, it may not be on terms favorable to us.

Our growth strategy includes exploring strategic partnerships in order to maximize our potential. On March 26, 2021, we entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Desktop Metal to establish a multi-year strategic commercial partnership. Pursuant to our Memorandum of Understanding, Desktop Metal has agreed to invest $20.0 million in the PIPE Investment. Upon consummation of this investment, we will be obligated to purchase $20.0 million of equipment, materials and services from Desktop Metal. We currently expect to place orders for such equipment, materials and services during calendar year 2021. We also plan to negotiate the terms of and enter into a strategic partnership with Desktop Metal in an effort to gain access to Desktop Metal’s additive manufacturing hardware technology, solutions and resources to accelerate our manufacturing capabilities to include an industrial metal offering. We expect this strategic partnership to benefit our customers and our business, however there is currently no definitive agreement as to the terms of any such relationship and we cannot be certain that we will successfully consummate a strategic partnership with Desktop Metal on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or if such strategic partnership will be commercially successful.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our financial condition could be adversely affected and we may not be able to execute our growth strategy.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges and opportunities, including the need to develop new features or enhance our offerings, improve our operating infrastructure, or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds if our existing sources of cash and any funds generated from operations do not provide us with sufficient capital. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we may secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges and opportunities could be significantly impaired, and our business may be adversely affected.

As part of our growth strategy, we may acquire or make investments in other businesses, patents, technologies, products, or services. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of such investments and integration of these investments may disrupt our business and divert management attention.

To the extent we seek to grow our business through acquisitions, we may not be able to successfully identify attractive acquisition opportunities or consummate any such acquisitions if we cannot reach an agreement on commercially favorable terms, if we lack sufficient resources to finance the transaction on our own and cannot obtain financing at a reasonable cost or if regulatory authorities prevent such transaction from being consummated. Historically, we have not consummated any acquisitions, and our lack of prior experience may adversely affect the success of future acquisitions. In addition, competition for acquisitions in the markets in which we operate during recent years has increased, and may continue to increase, which may result in an increase in the costs of acquisitions or cause us to refrain from making certain acquisitions. We may not be able to complete future acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all.

If we do complete future acquisitions, we cannot assure you that they will ultimately strengthen our competitive position or that they will be viewed positively by customers, financial markets, or investors. Furthermore, future acquisitions could pose numerous additional risks to our operations, including:

•

diversion of management’s attention from their day-to-day responsibilities;

•

unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition;

•

incurrence of acquisition-related costs, which would be recognized as a current period expense;

•

problems integrating the purchased business, products or technologies;

•

challenges in achieving strategic objectives, cost savings and other anticipated benefits;

•

inability to maintain relationships with key customers, suppliers, vendors and other third parties on which the purchased business relies;

•

the difficulty of incorporating acquired technology and rights into our platform and of maintaining quality and security standards consistent with our brand;

•

difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures, and policies during the transition and integration;

•

challenges in integrating the new workforce and the potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the acquired business; and

•

use of substantial portions of our available cash or the incurrence of debt to consummate the acquisition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If we proceed with a particular acquisition, we may have to use cash, issue new equity securities with dilutive effects on existing shareholders, incur indebtedness, assume contingent liabilities, or amortize assets or expenses in a manner that might have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Acquisitions will also require us to record certain acquisition-related costs and other items as current period expenses, which would have the effect of reducing our reported earnings in the period in which an acquisition is consummated. In addition, we could also face unknown liabilities or write-offs due to our acquisitions, which could result in a significant charge to our earnings in the period in which they occur. We will also be required to record goodwill or other long-lived asset impairment charges (if any) in the periods in which they occur, which could result in a significant charge to our earnings in any such period.

Achieving the expected returns and synergies from future acquisitions will depend, in part, upon our ability to integrate the products and services, technology, administrative functions, and personnel of these businesses into our offering lines in an efficient and effective manner. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so, that any acquired businesses will perform at levels and on the timelines anticipated by our management or that we will be able to obtain these synergies. In addition, acquired technologies and intellectual property may be rendered obsolete or uneconomical by our own or our competitors’ technological advances. Management resources may also be diverted from operating our existing businesses to certain acquisition integration challenges. If we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses, our anticipated revenues and profits may be lower. Our profit margins may also be lower, or diluted, following the acquisition of companies whose profit margins are less than those of our existing businesses.

Errors or defects in our software or products we manufacture could cause us to incur additional costs, lose revenue and business opportunities, damage our reputation and expose us to potential liability.

Sophisticated software and complex manufactured products may contain errors, defects, or other performance problems at any point in the life of the product. If errors or defects are discovered in our current or future software or in the products we manufacture for customers, we may not be able to correct them in a timely manner, or provide an adequate response to our customers. We may therefore need to expend significant financial, technical, and management resources, or divert some of our development resources, in order to resolve or work around those defects. We may also experience an increase in our service and warranty costs. Particularly in the medical sector, errors or defects in our software or products could lead to claims by patients against us and our customers and expose us to lawsuits that may damage our and our customers’ reputations. Claims may be made by individuals or by classes of users. Our product liability and related insurance policies may not apply or sufficiently cover any product liability lawsuit that arises from defective software or products. Customers such as our collaboration partners may also seek indemnification for third party claims allegedly arising from breaches of warranties under our collaboration agreements.

Errors, defects or other performance problems in our software or products we manufacture may also result in the loss of, or delay in, the market acceptance of our platform and digital manufacturing services. Such difficulties could also cause us to lose customers and, particularly in the case of our largest customers, the potentially substantial associated revenue which would have been generated by our sales to companies participating in our customer’s supply chain. Technical problems, or the loss of a customer with a particularly important global reputation, could also damage our own business reputation and cause us to lose new business opportunities.

Workplace accidents or environmental damage could result in substantial remedial obligations and damage to our reputation.

Accidents or other incidents that occur at our service centers and other facilities or involve our personnel or operations could result in claims for damages against us. In addition, in the event we are found to be financially responsible, as a result of environmental or other laws or by court order, for environmental damages alleged to have been caused by us or occurring on our premises, we could be required to pay substantial monetary damages or undertake expensive remedial obligations. The amount of any costs, including fines or damages payments that we might incur under such circumstances could substantially exceed any insurance we have to cover such losses. Any of these events, alone or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and could adversely affect our reputation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We depend on our largest customer for a substantial portion of our revenue.

Our largest customer accounted for approximately 21% and approximately 16% of our revenue in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our future operating results will be affected by both the success of our largest customer and our success in diversifying our products and customer base. If demand for our largest customer’s products increases, our results are favorably impacted, while if demand for their products decreases, they may reduce their purchases of, or stop purchasing, our services and our operating results would suffer. While we currently have exclusivity arrangements for a limited time period with our largest customer with respect to such customer’s use of third parties for 3D printing, such exclusivity does not preclude the customer insourcing 3D printing capabilities or leveraging other technologies to manufacture their products, which may cause us to lose such customer’s business. The loss of our largest customer and failure to add new customers to replace lost revenue would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If our manufacturing facilities are disrupted, we may be unable to fulfill customer orders, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We have manufacturing service centers in Eindhoven, the Netherlands and Long Island City, New York. If the operations of these facilities are materially disrupted, whether by fires or other industrial accidents, extreme weather, natural disasters, labor stoppages, acts of terror, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, or otherwise, we would be unable to fulfill customer orders for the period of the disruption, we would not be able to recognize revenue on orders, we could suffer damage to our reputation, and we might need to modify our standard sales terms to secure the commitment of new customers during the period of the disruption and perhaps longer. Depending on the cause of the disruption, we could incur significant costs to remedy the disruption and resume operations. These delays could be lengthy and costly. If any of our third-party contract manufacturers’, suppliers’ or customers’ facilities are negatively impacted by such a disaster, production, shipment of products could also be delayed. Even if we are able to respond quickly to a disaster, the continued effects of the disaster could create uncertainty in our business operations.

We could experience unforeseen difficulties in building and operating key portions of our manufacturing infrastructure.

We have designed and built our own manufacturing operations and other key portions of our technical infrastructure through which we manufacture products for customers, and we plan to continue to expand the size of our infrastructure through expanding our digital manufacturing facilities. The infrastructure expansion we may undertake may be complex, and unanticipated delays in the completion of these projects or availability of materials may lead to increased project costs, operational inefficiencies, or interruptions in the delivery or degradation of the quality of our products.

We may not timely and effectively scale and adapt our existing technology, processes, and infrastructure to meet the needs of our business.

A key element to our continued growth is the ability to quickly and efficiently quote an increasing number of product submissions across geographies and to manufacture the related parts. This will require us to timely and effectively scale and adapt our existing technology, processes, and infrastructure. With respect to our platform and quoting technology, it may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve their performance, especially during periods of heavy usage and as our solutions become more complex or if our user traffic increases across geographies. Similarly, our manufacturing automation technology may not enable us to process large numbers of unique designs and efficiently manufacture the related parts in a timely fashion. Any failure in our ability to timely and effectively scale and adapt our existing technology, processes, and infrastructure could negatively impact our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, damage our reputation and brand, result in lost revenue, and otherwise substantially harm our business and results of operations.

Our business depends in part on our ability to process a large volume of new part designs from a diverse group of customers and successfully identifying significant opportunities for our business based on those submissions.

We believe the volume of new part designs we process and the size and diversity of our customer base give us valuable insight into the needs of our prospective customers. We utilize this industry knowledge to determine

TABLE OF CONTENTS

where we should focus our development resources. If the number of new part designs we process or the size and diversity of our customer base decrease, our ability to successfully identify significant opportunities for our business and meet the needs of customers could be negatively impacted. In addition, even if we do continue to process a large number of new part designs and work with a significant and diverse customer base, there are no guarantees that any industry knowledge we extract from those interactions will be successfully utilized to help us identify significant business opportunities or better understand the needs of customers.

Interruptions, delays in service or inability to increase capacity, including internationally, at third-party data center facilities could adversely affect our business and reputation.

Our business, brand, reputation, and ability to attract and retain customers depend upon the satisfactory performance, reliability, and availability of our platform, which in turn, with respect to our planned software as a service (“SaaS”) offerings, depend upon the availability of the internet and our third-party service providers. We rely on third party data center facilities operated by Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) located in the United States to host our main servers. In addition to AWS, some of our services are housed in third-party data centers operated by Digital Realty in the United States and EcoRacks in Eindhoven. We do not control the operation of any of AWS’ data center hosting facilities, and they may be subject to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, and similar events. They may also be subject to interruptions due to system failures, computer viruses, software errors, or subject to breaches of computer hardware and software security, break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism, and similar misconduct. And while we rely on service level agreements with our hosting provider, if they do not properly maintain their infrastructure or if they incur unplanned outages, our customers may experience performance issues or unexpected interruptions and we may not meet our service level agreement terms with our customers. We have experienced, and expect that in the future we may experience interruptions, delays, and outages in service and availability from time to time due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions, and capacity constraints. These and other similar events beyond our control could negatively affect the use, functionality, or availability of our services.

Any damage to, or failure of, our systems, or those of our third-party providers, could interrupt or hinder the use or functionality of our services. Impairment of or interruptions in our services may reduce revenue, subject us to claims and litigation, cause customers to terminate their contracts, and adversely affect our ability to attract new customers. If we are forced to switch hosting facilities, we may not be successful in finding an alternative service provider on acceptable terms or in hosting the computer servers ourselves. Our business will also be harmed if customers and potential customers believe our services are unreliable.

Interruptions to or other problems with our website user interface, information technology systems, manufacturing processes, or other operations could damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our business and results of operations.

The satisfactory performance, reliability, consistency, security, and availability of our websites and interactive user interface, information technology systems, manufacturing processes, and other operations are critical to our reputation and brand, and our ability to effectively service customers. Any interruptions or other problems that cause any of our websites, interactive user interface, or information technology systems to malfunction or be unavailable, or negatively impact our manufacturing processes or other operations, may damage our reputation and brand, result in lost revenue, cause us to incur significant costs seeking to remedy the problem, and otherwise substantially harm our business and results of operations.

A number of factors or events could cause such interruptions or problems, including among others: human and software errors, design faults, challenges associated with upgrades, changes or new facets of our business, power loss, telecommunication failures, fire, flood, extreme weather, political instability, acts of terrorism, war, break-ins and security breaches, contract disputes, labor strikes and other workforce related issues, capacity constraints due to an unusually large number of customers accessing our websites or ordering parts at the same time, and other similar events. These risks are augmented by the fact that our customers come to us largely for our quick-turn manufacturing capabilities and that accessibility and turnaround speed are often of critical importance to these customers. We are dependent upon our facilities through which we satisfy all of our production demands and in which we house all of the computer hardware necessary to operate our websites and systems as well as managerial, customer service, sales, marketing, and other similar

TABLE OF CONTENTS

functions, and we have not identified alternatives to these facilities or established fully redundant systems in multiple locations. In addition, we are dependent in part on third parties for the implementation and maintenance of certain aspects of our communications and production systems, and therefore preventing, identifying, and rectifying problems with these aspects of our systems is to a large extent outside of our control.

Moreover, the business interruption insurance that we carry may not be sufficient to compensate us for the potentially significant losses, including the potential harm to the future growth of our business that may result from interruptions in our service as a result of system failures.

If we are unable to retain customers at existing levels or sell additional services to our existing customers, our revenue growth will be adversely affected.

To increase our revenue, we must retain existing customers, convince them to expand their use of our solutions across their organizations and for a variety of use cases, and expand their purchasing on terms favorable to us. We may not meet our customers’ expectations. If we are not able to renew our agreements with existing customers or attract new business from existing customers on favorable terms, this could have an adverse effect on our business, revenue, gross margins, and other operating results. The rate at which our customers purchase new or enhanced solutions from us, as well as the expansion of use of our solutions across organizations, depend on a number of factors, including general economic conditions, customer specific conditions, competitive pricing, integration with existing technologies, and satisfaction and market acceptance of our platform generally. If our efforts to sell additional solutions to our customers are not successful, our business and growth prospects may suffer.

We may not be able to turn pipeline customers into customers that will provide significant revenues.

Our future revenue depends in part on our ability to turn our pipeline customers into actual customers. Pipeline customers may fail to accept our offerings, choose our competitors’ offerings, or otherwise not turn into customers. If we are not able to turn pipeline customers into customers, or customers that provide significant revenues, our business and growth prospects could be adversely affected.

The loss of one or more key members of our management team or personnel could harm our business.

We believe our success has depended, and continues to depend, on the efforts and talents of our senior management and other key personnel, including, in particular, our executive officers. Our executive team is critical to the management of our business and operations, as well as to the development of our strategy. Members of our senior management team may resign at any time. The loss of the services of any members of our senior management team could delay or prevent the successful implementation of our strategy or our commercialization of new applications for our systems or other offerings, or could otherwise adversely affect our ability to manage our company effectively and carry out our business plan. There is no assurance that if any senior executive leaves in the future, we will be able to rapidly replace him or her and transition smoothly towards his or her successor, without any adverse impact on our operations.

In particular, the loss of the services of Greg Kress, our Chief Executive Officer, could severely damage our business and prospects for growth. Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement and pursuant to its terms, Mr. Kress entered into the Non-Competition Agreement, the operative provisions of which become effective as of the Closing, containing covenants restricting Mr. Kress from leaving the Combined Company to join a competitor or establish, alone or with others, a business in competition with the business of the Combined Company or to solicit customers of the Combined Company. Mr. Kress has also entered into a proprietary information and inventions agreement with the Combined Company, which includes similar restrictive covenants. We cannot assure you that if Mr. Kress were to breach the restrictive covenants in the Non-Competition Agreement and his proprietary information and inventions agreement a court would enforce those restrictive covenants and enjoin him from engaging in activities in violation thereof. The loss of Mr. Kress’ services could delay or prevent the successful implementation of our strategy or our commercialization of new applications for our systems or other offerings, or could otherwise adversely affect our ability to manage our company effectively and carry out our business plan, and consequently could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our current levels of insurance may not be adequate for our potential liabilities.

We maintain insurance to cover our potential exposure for most claims and losses, including potential product and non-product related claims, lawsuits, and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies arising out of our commercial operations. However, our insurance coverage is subject to various exclusions, self-retentions, and deductibles. We may be faced with types of liabilities that are not covered under our insurance policies, such as environmental contamination or terrorist attacks, or that exceed our policy limits. Even a partially uninsured claim of significant size, if successful, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

In addition, we may not be able to continue to obtain insurance coverage on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and our existing policies may be cancelled or otherwise terminated by the insurer. Maintaining adequate insurance and successfully accessing insurance coverage that may be due for a claim can require a significant amount of our management’s time, and we may be forced to spend a substantial amount of money in that process.

Industry Risks

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business and results of operations. The duration and extent to which it will continue to adversely impact our business and results of operations remains uncertain and could be material.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread public health crisis and numerous disease control measures being taken to limit its spread, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and shutdowns. These measures have materially impacted and may impact our workforce and operations, the operations of our customers, and those of our respective vendors and suppliers. We have significant operations worldwide, including in the United States and Netherlands, and each of these geographies has been affected by the outbreak and has taken measures to try to contain it, resulting in disruptions at many of our manufacturing operations and facilities, and further disruptions could occur in the future and any such disruptions could materially adversely affect our business. Most recently, with the second wave of the pandemic, we have been experiencing plant closures and/or restrictions at certain manufacturing facilities such as in India. The impact of the pandemic on our business has included and could in the future include:

•

disruptions to or restrictions on our ability to ensure the continuous provision of our manufacturing services and solutions;

•

temporary closures or reductions in operational capacity of our or third party manufacturing facilities;

•

reductions in our capacity utilization levels;

•

temporary closures of our direct and indirect suppliers, resulting in adverse effects to our supply chain, and other supply chain disruptions, which adversely affect our ability to procure sufficient inventory to support customer orders;

•

temporary shortages of skilled employees available to staff manufacturing facilities due to shelter-in- place orders and travel restrictions within as well as into and out of countries;

•

restrictions or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of air transport, port closures, and increased border controls or closures;

•

increases in operational expenses and other costs related to requirements implemented to mitigate the impact of the pandemic;

•

delays or limitations on the ability of our customers to perform or make timely payments;

•

reductions in short- and long-term demand for our manufacturing services and solutions, or other disruptions in technology buying patterns;

•

workforce disruptions due to illness, quarantines, governmental actions, other restrictions, and/or the social distancing measures we have taken to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 at our locations around the world in an effort to protect the health and well-being of our employees, customers, suppliers, and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of the communities in which we operate (including working from home, restricting the number of employees attending events or meetings in person, limiting the number of people in our buildings and factories at any one time, further restricting access to our facilities and suspending employee travel); and

•

our management team continuing to commit significant time, attention, and resources to monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and seeking to mitigate its effects on our business and workforce.

The global spread of COVID-19 also has created significant macroeconomic uncertainty, volatility, and disruption, which may adversely affect our and our customers’ and suppliers’ liquidity, cost of capital, and ability to access the capital markets. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of the pandemic’s global economic impact, including any recession, economic downturn, government spending cuts, tightening of credit markets, or increased unemployment that has occurred or may occur in the future, which could cause our customers and potential customers to postpone or reduce spending on our manufacturing services and solutions.

Global economic conditions may harm our ability to do business, increase our costs and negatively affect our stock price.

Our performance depends on the financial health and strength of our customers, which in turn is dependent on the economic conditions of the markets in which we and our customers operate. The recent declines in the global economy, difficulties in the financial services sector and credit markets, continuing geopolitical uncertainties, and other macroeconomic factors all affect the spending behavior of potential customers.

We also face risks from financial difficulties or other uncertainties experienced by our suppliers, distributors, or other third parties on which we rely. If third parties are unable to supply us with required materials or otherwise assist us in operating our business, our business could be harmed.

For example, the possibility of an ongoing trade war between the United States and China may impact the cost of raw materials, finished products, or other materials used in our offerings and our ability to sell our offerings in China. Other changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory, and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development, and investment could also adversely affect our business. We could experience interruptions in production due to the processing of customs formalities or reduced customer spending in the wake of weaker economic performance. If global economic conditions remain volatile for a prolonged period our results of operations could be adversely affected.

If demand for our services does not grow as expected, or if market adoption of digital manufacturing does not continue to develop, or develops more slowly than expected, our revenues may stagnate or decline, and our business may be adversely affected.

The industrial manufacturing market, which today is dominated by conventional manufacturing processes that do not involve digital manufacturing technology, is undergoing a shift towards digital manufacturing. We may not be able to develop effective strategies to raise awareness among potential customers of the benefits of digital manufacturing technologies or our offerings may not address the specific needs or provide the level of functionality required by potential customers to encourage the continuation of this shift towards digital manufacturing. If digital manufacturing technology does not continue to gain broader market acceptance as an alternative to conventional manufacturing processes, or if the marketplace adopts digital manufacturing technologies developed by our competitors, we may not be able to increase or sustain the level of sales of our services, and our operating results would be adversely affected as a result.

We could face liability if our digital manufacturing solutions are used by our customers to print dangerous objects.

Customers may use our digital manufacturing systems to print parts that could be used in a harmful way or could otherwise be dangerous. For example, there have been news reports that 3D printers were used to print guns or other weapons. We have little, if any, control over what objects our customers print using our offerings, and it may be difficult, if not impossible, for us to monitor and prevent customers from printing

TABLE OF CONTENTS

weapons with our services. While we have never printed weapons on any printers in our offices, there can be no assurance that we will not be held liable if someone were injured or killed by a weapon printed by a customer using one of our offerings.

Because the digital manufacturing market is rapidly evolving, forecasts of market growth in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus may not be accurate.

Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts included in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The forecasts and estimates in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus relating to the expected size and growth of the markets for digital manufacturing technology and other markets in which we participate may prove to be inaccurate. Even if these markets experience the forecasted growth described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, we may not grow our business at similar rates, or at all. Our future growth is subject to many factors, including market adoption of our offerings, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the forecasts and estimates of market size and growth described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/ prospectus should not be taken as indicative of our future growth. In addition, these forecasts do not consider the impact of the current global COVID-19 pandemic, and we cannot assure you that these forecasts will not be materially and adversely affected as a result.

Our actual results may be significantly different from our projections, estimates, targets, or forecasts.

Our projections, estimates, targets, and forecasts are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In July 2021, Shapeways revised its projected revenues for 2021 and 2022, from $44.0 million and $86.0 million to $40.0 million and $80.0 million, respectively. While all projections, estimates, targets and forecasts are necessarily speculative, we believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate, target, or forecast extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected, or target results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such projections, estimates, targets and forecasts. Our projections, estimates, targets and forecast should not be regarded as an indication that Shapeways or its representatives, considered or consider the financial projections, estimates, targets to be a reliable prediction of future events.

Intellectual Property and Infrastructure-Related Risks

We may incur substantial costs enforcing or acquiring intellectual property rights and defending against third-party claims as a result of litigation or other proceedings. Our failure to expand our intellectual property portfolio could adversely affect the growth of our business and results of operations.

We may incur substantial expense and costs in protecting, enforcing, and defending our intellectual property rights against third parties. Intellectual property disputes may be costly and can be disruptive to our business operations by diverting attention and energies of management and key technical personnel and by increasing our costs of doing business. Third-party intellectual property claims asserted against us could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to enter into royalty and licensing arrangements on unfavorable terms, prevent us from providing our services to our customers, subject us to injunctions prohibiting or restricting our sale of our services, or require us to redesign our services, causing severe disruptions to our operations or the marketplaces in which we compete or require us to satisfy indemnification commitments with our customers, including contractual provisions under various license arrangements. In addition, we may incur significant costs in acquiring the necessary third-party intellectual property rights for use in our offerings. Any of these could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time until they are published, and the publication of discoveries in scientific or patent literature typically lags actual discoveries by several months or more. As a result, the nature of claims contained in unpublished patent filings around the world is unknown to us, and we cannot be certain that we were the first to conceive

TABLE OF CONTENTS

inventions covered by our patents or patent applications or that we were the first to file patent applications covering such inventions. Furthermore, it is not possible to know in which countries patent holders may choose to extend their filings under the Patent Cooperation Treaty or other mechanisms.

In addition, we may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims from individuals, vendors and other companies, including those that are in the business of asserting patents, but are not commercializing products or services in the field of digital manufacturing, or our customers may seek to invoke indemnification obligations to involve us in such intellectual property infringement claims. Furthermore, although we maintain certain procedures to screen items we manufacture on behalf of customers for infringement on the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot be certain that our procedures will be effective in preventing any such infringement. Any third-party lawsuits or other assertion to which we are subject, alleging infringement of trademarks, patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights either by us or by our customers may have a significant adverse effect on our financial condition.

We may not be able to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, which could impair our competitive position.

Our success and future revenue growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We rely primarily on patents, licenses, trademarks, and trade secrets, as well as non-disclosure agreements and other methods, to protect our proprietary technologies and processes globally. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary technologies and processes, it is possible that competitors or other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use, or disclose our technologies and processes or invent around our patents. We cannot assure you that any of our existing or future patents will not be challenged or invalidated in court or patent office proceedings that could be time-consuming, expensive, and distract us from the operating the business of the Company. In addition, competitors could circumvent our patents by inventing around them. As such, any rights granted under these patents may not provide us with meaningful protection. We may not be able to obtain foreign patents corresponding to our United States patents. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective enforcement in foreign countries may not be available. If our patents and other intellectual property do not adequately protect our technology, our competitors may be able to offer services similar to ours. Our competitors may also be able to develop similar technology independently or design around our patents. Any of the foregoing events would lead to increased competition and lower revenue or gross margin, which would adversely affect our net income.

Our digital manufacturing software contains third-party open-source software components. Our use of such open-source software may expose us to additional risks and harm our intellectual property and failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open-source software licenses could restrict our ability to sell our offerings.

Our digital manufacturing software contains components that are licensed under so-called “open source,” “free,” or other similar licenses. Open source software is made available to the general public on an “as-is” basis under the terms of a non-negotiable license. We currently combine our proprietary software with open source software, but not in a manner that we believe requires the release of the source code of our proprietary software to the public. We do not plan to integrate our proprietary software with open source software in ways that would require the release of the source code of our proprietary software to the public; however, our use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software. Open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. In addition, if we combine our proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain open source licenses, be required to release to the public or remove the source code of our proprietary software. As standard practice among technology companies Shapeways leverages open source software in the development in its internal software. Open source software is commonly used as a foundation to which Shapeways develops upon, allowing us to customize the software based on the specific needs of Shapeways. This enables faster development of software, with higher quality, supported by a larger community of developers. We may also face claims alleging noncompliance with open source license terms or infringement or misappropriation of proprietary software. These claims could result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license, or remove the software. In addition, if the license terms for open source software that we use change, we may be forced to re-engineer our solutions, incur additional costs, or discontinue the sale of our offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis. Although we monitor our use of open source software to avoid subjecting our offerings to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

unintended conditions, there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our offerings. We cannot guarantee that we have incorporated open source software in our software in a manner that will not subject us to liability or in a manner that is consistent with our current policies and procedures.

We store confidential customer information in our systems that, if breached or otherwise subjected to unauthorized access, may harm our reputation or brand or expose us to liability.

Our system stores, processes, and transmits our customers’ confidential information, including the intellectual property in their part designs, credit card information, and other sensitive data. We rely on encryption, authentication, and other technologies licensed from third parties, as well as administrative and physical safeguards, to secure such confidential information. Any compromise of our information security could damage our reputation and brand and expose us to a risk of loss, costly litigation, and liability that would substantially harm our business and operating results. We may not have adequately assessed the internal and external risks posed to the security of our company’s systems and information and may not have implemented adequate preventative safeguards or take adequate reactionary measures in the event of a security incident. In addition, most states have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals and often state authorities of data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause our existing and prospective customers to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. Any security breach, whether successful or not, would harm our reputation and brand and could cause the loss of customers.

A real or perceived defect, security vulnerability, error, or performance failure in our software or technical problems or disruptions caused by our third-party service providers could cause us to lose revenue, damage our reputation, and expose us to liability.

Our business relies on software products which are inherently complex and, despite extensive testing and quality control, have in the past and may in the future contain defects or errors, especially when first introduced, or otherwise not perform as contemplated. As the use of our platform expands, we may be subject to increased scrutiny, potential reputational risk, or potential liability should our software fail to perform as contemplated in such deployments. We have in the past and may in the future need to issue corrective releases of our software to fix these defects, errors, or performance failures and we may encounter technical problems when we attempt to perform routine maintenance or enhance our software, internal applications, and systems, which could require us to allocate significant research and development and customer support resources to address these problems and divert the focus of our management and research and development teams. See: “Risks Related to Shapeways Business — Interruptions, delays in service or inability to increase capacity, including internationally, at third-party data center facilities could adversely affect our business and reputation.”

Any inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, errors, defects, technical problems, or performance failures with our software, internal applications, and systems could reduce the quality of our services or interfere with our customers’ (and their users’) products, which could negatively impact our brand and reputation, reduce demand, lead to a loss of customers or revenue, adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, increase our costs to resolve such issues, and subject us to financial penalties and liabilities under our service level agreements. Any limitation of liability provisions that may be contained in our customer agreements may not be effective as a result of existing or future applicable law or unfavorable judicial decisions. The sale and support of our software offering entails the risk of liability claims, which could be substantial in light of the use of our software offering in enterprise-wide environments. In addition, our insurance against this liability may not be adequate to cover a potential claim.

Compliance-Related Risks

We are subject to environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations related to our operations and the use of our digital manufacturing systems and consumable materials, which could subject us to compliance costs and/or potential liability in the event of non-compliance.

We are subject to domestic and foreign environmental laws and regulations governing our manufacturing operations, including, but not limited to, emissions into the air and water and the use, handling, disposal, and

100

TABLE OF CONTENTS

remediation of hazardous substances. A certain risk of environmental liability is inherent in our production activities. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, the generation, use, storage, registration, handling, and disposal of chemicals and waste materials, the presence of specified substances in electrical products, the emission and discharge of hazardous materials into the ground, air or water, the cleanup of contaminated sites, including any contamination that results from spills due to our failure to properly dispose of chemicals and other waste materials and the health and safety of our employees. Under these laws, regulations and requirements, we could also be subject to liability for improper disposal of chemicals and waste materials, including those resulting from the use of our systems and accompanying materials by end-users. Accidents or other incidents that occur at our facilities or involve our personnel or operations could result in claims for damages against us. In the event we are found to be financially responsible, as a result of environmental or other laws or by court order, for environmental damages alleged to have been caused by us or occurring on our premises, we could be required to pay substantial monetary damages or undertake extensive remedial obligations. If our operations fail to comply with such laws or regulations, we may be subject to fines and other civil, administrative, or criminal sanctions, including the revocation of permits and licenses necessary to continue our business activities. In addition, we may be required to pay damages or civil judgments in respect of third-party claims, including those relating to personal injury (including exposure to hazardous substances that we generate, use, store, handle, transport, manufacture, or dispose of), property damage, or contribution claims. Some environmental laws allow for strict, joint and several liabilities for remediation costs, regardless of fault. We may be identified as a potentially responsible party under such laws. The amount of any costs, including fines or damages payments that we might incur under such circumstances, could substantially exceed any insurance we have to cover such losses. Any of these events, alone or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and could adversely affect our reputation.

The export of our offerings internationally from our production facilities subjects us to environmental laws and regulations concerning the import and export of chemicals and hazardous substances such as the United States Toxic Substances Control Act and the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemical Substances. These laws and regulations require the testing and registration of some chemicals that we ship along with, or that form a part of, our systems and other products. If we fail to comply with these or similar laws and regulations, we may be required to make significant expenditures to reformulate the chemicals that we use in our offerings and materials or incur costs to register such chemicals to gain and/or regain compliance. Additionally, we could be subject to significant fines or other civil and criminal penalties should we not achieve such compliance.

The cost of complying with current and future environmental, health, and safety laws applicable to our operations, or the liabilities arising from past releases of, or exposure to, hazardous substances, may result in future expenditures. Any of these developments, alone or in combination, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business involves the use of hazardous materials, and we must comply with environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, which can be expensive and restrict how we do business.

Our business involves the controlled storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials. We and our suppliers are subject to federal, state, and local as well as foreign laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling, and disposal of these hazardous materials. Although we believe that the safety procedures utilized by us and our suppliers for handling and disposing of these materials comply with the standards prescribed by these laws and regulations, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials. In the event of an accident, state, federal, or foreign authorities may curtail the use of these materials and interrupt our business operations. We do not currently maintain hazardous materials insurance coverage. If we are subject to any liability as a result of activities involving hazardous materials, our business and financial condition may be adversely affected and our reputation and brand may be harmed.

Regulation in the areas of privacy, data protection, and information security could increase our costs and affect or limit our business opportunities and how we collect and/or use personal information.

We collect personally identifiable information from our employees, prospects, and our customers. Privacy and security laws and regulations may limit the use and disclosure of certain information and require us to

101

TABLE OF CONTENTS

adopt certain cybersecurity and data handling practices that may affect our ability to effectively market our services to current, past, or prospective customers. We must comply with privacy laws in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere, including GDPR in the European Union, which became effective May 25, 2018, and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, which was enacted on June 28, 2018 and became effective on January 1, 2020. These laws create new individual privacy rights and impose increased obligations, including disclosure obligations, on companies handling personal data. In many jurisdictions, consumers must be notified in the event of a data security breach, and such notification requirements continue to increase in scope and cost. Privacy and security laws and regulations may limit the use and disclosure of certain information and require us to adopt certain cybersecurity and data handling practices that may affect our ability to effectively market our services to current, past, or prospective customers. While we have invested in, and intend to continue to invest in, resources to comply with these standards, we may not be successful in doing so, and any such failure could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and reputation.

As privacy, data use, and data security laws are interpreted and applied, compliance costs may increase, particularly in the context of ensuring that adequate data protection and data transfer mechanisms are in place. In recent years, there has been increasing regulatory enforcement and litigation activity in this area in the United States and in various other countries in which we operate.

We are subject to U.S. and other anti-corruption laws, trade controls, economic sanctions, and similar laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject us to civil, criminal, and administrative penalties and harm our reputation.

We operate in a number of countries throughout the world, including countries known to have a reputation for corruption. Doing business on a global basis requires us to comply with anti-corruption laws and regulations imposed by governments around the world with jurisdiction over our operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, as well as the laws of the countries where we do business. We are also subject to various trade restrictions, including trade and economic sanctions and export controls, imposed by governments around the world with jurisdiction over our operations. For example, in accordance with trade sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control and the U.S. Department of Commerce, we are prohibited from engaging in transactions involving certain persons and certain designated countries or territories, including Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, and the Crimea Region of Ukraine. In addition, our offerings are subject to export regulations that can involve significant compliance time and may add additional overhead cost to our offerings. In recent years the U.S. government has had a renewed focus on export matters. For example, the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 and regulatory guidance have imposed additional controls, and may result in the imposition of further additional controls, on the export of certain “emerging and foundational technologies.” Our current and future offerings may be subject to these heightened regulations, which could increase our compliance cost.

Risks of Being a Public Company

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention, and affect its ability to attract and retain qualified board members.

After the completion of the Business Combination, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and any rules promulgated thereunder, as well as the rules of NYSE. The requirements of these rules and regulations increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, or costly, and increase demand on its systems and resources. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight are required, and, as a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns. These rules and regulations can also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified independent members of our board of directors. Additionally, these rules and regulations make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. We may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. The

102

TABLE OF CONTENTS

increased costs of compliance with public company reporting requirements and our potential failure to satisfy these requirements can have a material adverse effect on our operations, business, financial condition, or results of operations.

If our internal control over financial reporting or our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, prevent fraud, or file our periodic reports in a timely manner, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and may lead to a decline in our stock price.

Shapeways has not previously been subject to the internal control and financial reporting requirements that are required of a publicly-traded company. However, following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will be required to comply with certain requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and will be required to comply with additional such requirements following the date we are deemed to be an “accelerated filer” or a “large accelerated filer,” each as defined in the Exchange Act, which could be as early as our next fiscal year. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, we would be required to perform system and process evaluation, document our controls, and perform testing of our key controls over financial reporting to allow management certify on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting may be found that may be deemed to be material weaknesses. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock would likely decline and we could be subject to lawsuits, sanctions, or investigations by regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company we may follow reduced disclosure requirements and do not have to make all of the disclosures that public companies that are not emerging growth companies do. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (a) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (b) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of the initial public offering of Galileo; (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (d) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include:

•

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes- Oxley Act;

•

not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

•

reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements, and registration statements; and

•

exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote of stockholders on executive compensation, stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved, and having to disclose the ratio of the compensation of our chief executive officer to the median compensation of our employees.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth

103

TABLE OF CONTENTS

company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards; and as a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions for emerging growth companies. We cannot predict whether investors will find our common stock less attractive if we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our share price may be more volatile.

In order to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we will need to hire qualified accounting and financial personnel with appropriate public company experience.

As a newly public company, we will need to establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and make changes in our corporate governance practices. We may need to hire additional accounting and financial personnel with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge, and it may be difficult to recruit and retain such personnel. Even if we are able to hire appropriate personnel, our existing operating expenses and operations will be impacted by the direct costs of their employment and the indirect consequences related to the diversion of management resources from research and development efforts.

Risks Related to the Combined Company Shares

An active, liquid trading market for the Combined Company’s Common Stock may not develop, which may limit your ability to sell your shares.

An active trading market for the Combined Company’s shares may never develop or be sustained following the consummation of the Business Combination. A public trading market having the desirable characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers at any given time, such existence being dependent upon the individual decisions of buyers and sellers over which neither the Combined Company nor any market maker has control. The failure of an active and liquid trading market to develop and continue would likely have a material adverse effect on the value of the Combined Company’s common stock. An inactive market may also impair the Combined Company’s ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by issuing shares and may impair the Combined Company’s ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using the Combined Company’s shares as consideration.

Our issuance of additional shares of common stock or convertible securities may dilute your ownership of us and could adversely affect our stock price.

From time to time in the future, we may issue additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock pursuant to a variety of transactions, including acquisitions. Additional shares of our common stock may also be issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase our common stock. The issuance by us of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock would dilute your ownership of us and the sale of a significant amount of such shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. Subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions and the expiration of lockup agreements, shares issuable upon exercise of options will be available for resale immediately in the public market without restriction.

Issuing additional shares of our capital stock, other equity securities, or securities convertible into equity may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing stockholders, reduce the market price of our common stock, or both. Debt securities convertible into equity could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion. Preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings. As a result, holders of our common stock bear the risk that our future offerings may reduce the market price of our common stock and dilute their percentage ownership.

104

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of our common stock by us or our existing stockholders in the public market could cause the market price for our common stock to decline.

The sale of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain of our stockholders agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, they will not, during the period beginning at the effective time of the Business Combination and the date that is 180 days after the date of the Business Combination (subject to early release if Shapeways consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party), directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of common stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive shares of common stock, or any interest in any of the foregoing.

Upon the expiration or waiver of the lock-up described above, shares held by these stockholders will be eligible for resale, subject to, in the case of stockholders who are our affiliates, volume, manner of sale, and other limitations under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

In addition, certain of our stockholders will have registration rights under a registration rights agreement to be entered into prior to the Closing pursuant to which we are obligated to register such stockholders’ shares of common stock and other securities that such stockholders may acquire after the Closing. Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus forms a part of these shares of common stock will be available for resale without restriction, subject to any lock-up agreement.

In addition, shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of incentive awards under our incentive plans are, once issued, eligible for sale in the public market, subject to any lock-up agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale applicable to affiliates under Rule 144. Furthermore, shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under the Shapeways Holdings, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and the Shapeways Holdings, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan may become available for sale in future.

The market price of shares of our common stock could drop significantly if the holders of the shares described above sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of shares of our common stock or other securities.

Our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis.

Our operating results and financial condition fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year and are likely to continue to vary due to a number of factors, many of which will not be within our control. Both our business and the digital manufacturing industry are changing and evolving rapidly, and our historical operating results may not be useful in predicting our future operating results. If our operating results do not meet the guidance that we provide to the marketplace or the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the market price of our common stock will likely decline. Fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition may be due to a number of factors, including:

•

the degree of market acceptance of digital manufacturing and, specifically, our services;

•

our ability to compete with competitors and new entrants into our markets;

•

the mix of offerings that we sell during any period;

•

the timing of our sales and deliveries of our offerings to customers;

•

the geographic distribution of our sales;

•

changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors, including our response to price competition;

•

changes in the amount that we spend to develop and manufacture new technologies;

105

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

changes in the amounts that we spend to promote our services;

•

expenses and/or liabilities resulting from litigation;

•

delays between our expenditures to develop and market new or enhanced solutions and the generation of revenue from those solutions;

•

unforeseen liabilities or difficulties in integrating our acquisitions or newly acquired businesses;

•

disruptions to our information technology systems;

•

general economic and industry conditions that affect customer demand;

•

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers, suppliers, manufacturers, and operations; and

•

changes in accounting rules and tax laws.

In addition, our revenues and operating results may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year due to our sales cycle and seasonality among our customers. Generally, our digital manufacturing solutions are subject to the adoption and capital expenditure cycles of our customers. As a result, we typically conduct a larger portion of our business during the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year relative to the second and third quarters. Additionally, for our more complex solutions, which may require additional facilities investment, potential customers may spend a substantial amount of time performing internal assessments prior to making a purchase decision. This may cause us to devote significant effort in advance of a potential sale without any guarantee of receiving any related revenues. As a result, revenues and operating results for future periods are difficult to predict with any significant degree of certainty, which could lead to adverse effects on our inventory levels and overall financial condition.

Due to the foregoing factors, and the other risks discussed in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, you should not rely on quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons of our operating results as an indicator of our future performance.

Our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance. You may lose some or all of your investment.

The trading price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be volatile. The stock market recently has experienced extreme volatility. This volatility often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. You may not be able to resell your shares at an attractive price due to a number of factors such as those listed in this section and the following:

•

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and the results of operations;

•

our operating and financial performance and prospects;

•

our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry compared to market expectations;

•

conditions that impact demand for our services;

•

future announcements concerning our business, our customers’ businesses, or our competitors’ businesses;

•

the public’s reaction to our press releases, other public announcements, and filings with the SEC;

•

the market’s reaction to our reduced disclosure and other requirements as a result of being an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act or a “smaller reporting company”;

•

the size of our public float;

•

coverage by or changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or failure to meet their expectations;

•

market and industry perception of our success, or lack thereof, in pursuing our growth strategy;

•

strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;

•

changes in laws or regulations which adversely affect the manufacturing industry generally or Shapeways specifically;

106

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles;

•

changes in senior management or key personnel;

•

issuances, exchanges or sales, or expected issuances, exchanges, or sales of our capital stock;

•

changes in our dividend policy;

•

adverse resolution of new or pending litigation against us; and

•

changes in general market, economic, and political conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from natural disasters, terrorist attacks, acts of war, and responses to such events.

These broad market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of our common stock is low. As a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment.

In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If we were involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management from our business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

If securities or industry analysts publish inaccurate or unfavorable research or reports about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for the Company’s common stock depends, in part, on the research and reports that third-party securities analysts publish about us and the industries in which we operate. We may be unable or slow to attract research coverage and if one or more analysts cease coverage of us, the price and trading volume of our securities would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts that may cover us change their recommendation regarding our common stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our common stock would likely decline. If any analyst that may cover us ceases covering us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price or trading volume of our common stock to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrades our common stock, or if our reporting results do not meet their expectations, the market price of our common stock could decline.

We do not expect to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our business prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, certain restrictions related to our indebtedness, industry trends, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, we may incur additional indebtedness, the terms of which may further restrict or prevent us from paying dividends on our common stock. As a result, you may have to sell some or all of your common stock after price appreciation in order to generate cash flow from your investment, which you may not be able to do. Our inability or decision not to pay dividends, particularly when others in our industry have elected to do so, could also adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The Company may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

Following the Business Combination, the per share price of the Common Stock may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities litigation, including class action litigation. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on Galileo’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject the Company to significant liabilities.

Risks Related to Delaware Law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Delaware law and provisions in our charter documents could make a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest difficult, thereby depressing the trading price of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and Delaware law contain provisions that could depress the trading price of our common stock by acting to discourage, delay, or prevent a change of control of Shapeways or changes in Shapeways that our management or stockholders may deem advantageous. Among other things, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include the following provisions:

•

a classified board of directors so that not all members of our board of directors are elected at one time;

•

permit the board of directors to establish the number of directors and fill any vacancies and newly created directorships;

•

provide that directors may only be removed for cause and only by a super majority vote;

•

require super-majority voting to amend certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and any provision of its bylaws;

•

authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that our board of directors could use to implement a stockholder rights plan;

•

eliminate the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;

•

prohibit stockholder action by written consent, which requires all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;

•

provide that the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, or repeal our bylaws; and

•

establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at annual stockholder meetings.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management. As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents interested stockholders, such as certain stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock, from engaging in certain business combinations unless (i) prior to the time such stockholder became an interested stockholder, our board of directors approved the transaction that resulted in such stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in such stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our common stock, or (iii) following board approval, such business combination receives the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding common stock not held by such interested stockholder at an annual or special meeting of stockholders.

Any provision of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

Our Proposed Charter will provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.

Our Proposed Charter will provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty, any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. In addition, if an action is brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel.

Our Proposed Charter will provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing choice of forum provision.

108

TABLE OF CONTENTS

This provision would not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Our Proposed Charter provides further that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. These choices of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees and may discourage these types of lawsuits. Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive-forum provisions, and there can be no assurance that such provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions. If a court were to find the exclusive-forum provision contained in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm its business.

Voting Your Shares

Each Ordinary Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of Ordinary Shares that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. There are two ways to vote your Ordinary Shares at the Meeting.

•

You Can Vote by Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Galileo Board “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the Share Escrow Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the NYSE Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the ESPP Proposal, “FOR” each of the director nominees set forth in the Director Appointment Proposal and, if presented at the Special Meeting, “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

•

You Can Attend the Meeting and Vote Online. Galileo will be hosting the Meeting via live webcast. If you attend the Meeting, you may submit your vote at the Meeting online at https://www.cstproxy.com/galileoacquisitioncorp/sm2021, in which case any votes that you previously submitted will be superseded by the vote that you cast at the Meeting. See “— Registering for the Meeting” above for further details on how to attend the Meeting.

Revoking Your Proxy

Shareholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Galileo’s Chief Financial Officer at the address set forth below so that it is received by Galileo’s Chief Financial Officer prior to the vote at the Meeting (which is scheduled to take place September 28, 2021) or attend the Meeting virtually and vote. Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Galileo’s Chief Financial Officer, which must be received by Galileo’s Chief Financial Officer prior to the vote at the Meeting. However, if your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.

Vote of Galileo’s initial shareholders, Directors and Officers

All of Galileo’s initial shareholders have previously agreed to vote all of their Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination and have waived any redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination.

Redemption rights

Public Shareholders may seek to redeem the Public Shares that they hold, regardless of whether they vote for the proposed Business Combination, against the proposed Business Combination, or do not vote in relation to the proposed Business Combination.

Any Public Shareholder may request redemption of their Public Shares for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds and not

115

TABLE OF CONTENTS

previously released to Galileo to pay Galileo’s taxes, divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, provided, however that such Public Shareholder must follow the procedures outlined in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus (including, with respect to Public Shares that are part of Units, that the Units must first be separated into component Public Shares and warrants as described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus), in order to receive cash for any Public Shares such Public Shareholder intends to redeem. As of August 31, 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $10.09 per public share.

Furthermore, if a holder of a Public Share delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Galileo instruct the transfer agent to return the certificate (physically or electronically). The Public Shareholder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Galileo will be required to honor such request only if made prior to the deadline for exercising redemption requests.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Galileo’s initial shareholders will not have redemption rights with respect to any Public Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(a)

hold Public Shares or hold Public Shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying Public Shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and

(b)

prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on September 24, 2021 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting) (i) submit a written request to the transfer agent that Galileo redeem your Public Shares for cash and (ii) deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then the Public Shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares. In such case, Galileo will promptly return any shares previously delivered by Public Shareholders.

The closing price of shares of Public Shares on August 31, 2021 was $10.04 per ordinary share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of Public Shares, as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their shares of Public Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. Galileo cannot assure Public Shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public Shares in the open market, even if the market

116

TABLE OF CONTENTS

price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in Galileo’s securities when Galileo’s shareholders wish to sell their shares.

If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed Public Shares for cash and will no longer own those Public Shares.

Appraisal Rights

Shareholders of Galileo do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

Galileo is soliciting proxies on behalf of Galileo’s Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Galileo and Galileo’s directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Galileo will bear the cost of the solicitation.

Galileo has hired Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the proxy solicitation process. Galileo will pay that firm a fee of $22,500 plus associated disbursements. Such fee will be paid with funds available at the Closing.

Galileo will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Galileo will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Potential Purchases of Public Shares and/or Warrants

At any time prior to the Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Galileo or Galileo’s Securities, Galileo’s initial shareholders, Shapeways and/or their respective affiliates may purchase units, ordinary shares or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the Proposals are approved at the Meeting or to provide additional equity financing. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, none of Galileo’s initial shareholders, directors or officers has any plans to make any such purchases. Galileo will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Proposals. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Entering into any such incentive arrangements may have a depressive effect on outstanding Galileo Ordinary Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the Meeting.

PROPOSAL 1: THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL

Summary of the Proposal

General

Galileo is proposing to change its corporate structure and domicile from an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands to a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. This change will be implemented as a legal continuation of Galileo under the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the State of Delaware as described under “Manner of Effecting the Domestication and the Legal Effect of the Domestication.”

The Domestication will be effected by the filing of a Certificate of Corporate Domestication and the Proposed Charter with the Delaware Secretary of State and the filing of an application to de-register Galileo with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands. In connection with the Domestication, all outstanding Ordinary Shares will convert into outstanding shares of common stock of Galileo, as the continuing Delaware corporation. Simultaneously with adoption of the Proposed Charter, the Galileo Board intends to also adopt the Bylaws. The Domestication will become effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The Proposed Charter and the Bylaws, which will become effective upon the Domestication and Closing of Business Combination, are attached to this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex A and Annex B, respectively. All shareholders are encouraged to read each of the Proposed Charter and the Bylaws in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

The business shall be managed by the directors who may exercise all the powers of Galileo.			The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Company Board, except as otherwise provided by law.
Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Others
The Current Charter provides for indemnification of officers and directors, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud or willful default.			To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company (and any other persons to which the DGCL permits the Company to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, subject only to limits created by the DGCL (statutory or non-statutory), with respect to actions for breach of duty to the Corporation, its stockholders, and others.
Exclusive Forum
No Similar Provision.			Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (3) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as Galileo. Galileo renounces any interest or expectancy of Galileo in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for Galileo’s directors and officers, on the one hand, and Galileo, on the other. Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Galileo’s directors and officers shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to Galileo and shall not be liable to Galileo or its shareholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to Galileo.

Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After the Domestication

When the Domestication is completed, the rights of the shareholders will be governed by Delaware law, including the DGCL, rather than by the laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Certain differences exist between the DGCL and the Cayman Islands Companies Act that will alter certain of the rights of shareholders and affect the powers of the Galileo Board and management following the Domestication.

Shareholders should consider the following summary comparison of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, on the one hand, and the DGCL, on the other. This comparison is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and the Cayman Islands Companies Act.

The owners of a Delaware corporation’s shares are referred to as “stockholders.” For purposes of language consistency, in certain sections of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, Galileo may continue to refer to the share owners of Galileo as “shareholders.”

Provision	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Applicable legislation	General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware	The Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised)
General Vote Required for Combinations with Interested Stockholders / Shareholders	Generally a corporation may not engage in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the corporation opts out of the applicable statutory provision.	No Similar Provision.
Appraisal Rights	Generally a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger. Stockholders of a publicly traded corporation do, however, generally have	Shareholders that dissent from a merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court.

Provision	Delaware	Cayman Islands
	appraisal rights in connection with a merger if they are required by the terms of a merger agreement to accept for their shares anything except: (a) shares or depository receipts of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger; (b) shares of stock or depository receipts that will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders; (c) cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in (a) and (b) above; or (d) any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in (a), (b) and (c) above.
Requirements for Stockholder / Shareholder Approval	Stockholder approval of mergers, a sale of all or substantially all the assets of the corporation, or dissolution require a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon; most other stockholder approvals require a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, provided a quorum is present.	Subject to the articles of association, matters which require shareholder approval, whether under Cayman Islands statute or the company’s articles of association, are determined (subject to quorum requirements) by simple majority of the shares present and voting at a general meeting. Where the proposed action requires approval by “Special Resolution” (such as the amendment of the company’s constitutional documents) the approval of not less than two-thirds of the shares present and voting at a general meeting is required.
Requirement for Quorum	Quorum is a majority of shares entitled to vote at the meeting unless otherwise set in the organizational documents, but cannot be less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting.	The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the company being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy (which would include presence at the virtual Meeting) shall constitute a quorum.
Stockholder / Shareholder Consent to Action Without Meeting	Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, stockholders may act by written consent.	Shareholder action by written resolutions (whether unanimous or otherwise) may be permitted by the articles of association. The articles of

123

Provision	Delaware	Cayman Islands
		association may provide that shareholders may not act by written resolutions.
Inspection of Books and Records	Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business.	Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company.
Stockholder / Shareholder Lawsuits	A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements.	In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company only in certain limited circumstances.
Removal of Directors	Any director or the entire board may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, except as follows: (1) unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, in the case of a corporation with a classified board, stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; or (2) in the case of a corporation having cumulative voting, if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against such director’s removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board.	A company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide that a director may be removed for any or no reason and that, in addition to shareholders, boards may be granted the power to remove a director.
Number of Directors	The number of directors is fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the bylaws, unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, in which case a change in the number of directors shall be made only by amendment of the certificate of incorporation. The bylaws may provide that the board may increase the size of the board and fill any vacancies.	Subject to the memorandum and articles of association, the board may increase the size of the board and fill any vacancies.
Classified or Staggered Boards	Classified boards are permitted.	Classified boards are permitted.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Provision	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Fiduciary Duties of Directors	Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders.	A director owes a fiduciary duty to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole. In addition to fiduciary duties, directors owe a duty of care, diligence and skill.
		Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed directly to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers	A corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding because such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred if the person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. If the action was brought by or on behalf of the corporation, no indemnification is made when a person is adjudged liable to the corporation unless a court determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses the court deems proper.	A Cayman Islands exempted company generally may indemnify its directors or officers, except with regard to fraud or willful default.

Reasons for the Domestication

The Galileo Board believes that it would be in the best interests of Galileo to effect the Domestication immediately prior to the completion of the Business Combination. The primary reason for the Domestication is certain taxes would be imposed on the Company if the Company were to conduct an operating business in the United States as a foreign corporation following the Business Combination.

In addition, because Galileo will operate within the United States following the Business Combination, it was the view of the Galileo Board that Galileo should also be structured as a corporation organized in the United States. The Galileo Board believes Delaware provides a recognized body of corporate law that will facilitate corporate governance by the Company’s officers and directors. Delaware maintains a favorable legal and regulatory environment in which to operate. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging companies to incorporate there and, in furtherance of that policy, has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible corporate laws that are regularly updated and revised to meet changing business needs. As a result, many corporations have initially chosen Delaware as their domicile or have subsequently reincorporated in Delaware in a manner similar to the procedures Galileo is proposing. Due to Delaware’s longstanding policy of encouraging incorporation in that state and consequently its popularity as the state of incorporation, the Delaware courts have developed a considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues and a substantial body of case law has developed construing the DGCL and establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations. It is anticipated that the DGCL will continue to be interpreted and explained in a number of significant court decisions that may provide greater predictability with respect to the Company’s corporate legal affairs.

Regulatory Approvals; Third Party Consents

Galileo is not required to make any filings or to obtain any approvals or clearances from any antitrust regulatory authorities in the United States or other countries in order to complete the Domestication. Galileo must comply with applicable United States federal and state securities laws in connection with the Domestication, including the filing with NYSE of a press release disclosing the Domestication, among other things.

The Domestication will not breach any covenants or agreements binding upon Galileo and will not be subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirements, except compliance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and Delaware necessary to effect the Domestication.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Commencing with the effective time of the Domestication and Closing of the Business Combination, the Proposed Charter and the Bylaws will govern the rights of Galileo’s shareholders. A chart comparing your rights as a holder of Ordinary Shares of Galileo as a Cayman Islands exempted company with your rights as a holder of Common Stock as a Delaware corporation can be found above in “Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After the Domestication.”

Tax Consequences to Holders of Ordinary Shares Who Receive Common Stock as a Result of the Domestication

If the Proposals described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus are approved, then holders of Ordinary Shares who do not elect to exercise their redemption rights will receive Common Stock as a result of the Domestication. For a description of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Galileo Shareholders” included in the Business Combination Proposal.

Manner of Effecting the Domestication and the Legal Effect of the Domestication

Delaware Law

Pursuant to Section 388 of the DGCL, a non-United States entity may become domesticated as a Delaware corporation by filing with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Corporate Domestication and a Certificate of Incorporation, certifying to the matters set forth in Section 388 of the DGCL. The

126

TABLE OF CONTENTS

domestication must be approved in the manner provided for by the instrument or other writing governing the internal affairs of the non-United States entity and the conduct of its business or by applicable non-Delaware law, as appropriate, and the Certificate of Incorporation must be approved by the same authorization required to approve the domestication.

When a non-United States entity has become domesticated as a Delaware corporation, for all purposes of Delaware law, the corporation will be deemed to be the same entity as the domesticating non-United States entity and the domestication will constitute a continuation of the existence of the domesticating non-United States entity in the form of a Delaware corporation. When any domestication will have become effective, for all purposes of Delaware law, all of the rights, privileges and powers of the non-United States entity that has been domesticated and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to such non-United States entity, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to such non-United States entity, will remain vested in the corporation to which such non-United States entity has been domesticated (and also in the non-United States entity, if and for so long as the non-United States entity continues its existence in the foreign jurisdiction in which it was existing immediately prior to the domestication) and will be the property of such corporation (and also of the non-United States entity, if and for so long as the non-United States entity continues its existence in the foreign jurisdiction in which it was existing immediately prior to the domestication), and the title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in such non-United States entity shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the domestication; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of such non-United States entity will be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the non-United States entity that has been domesticated will remain attached to the corporation to which such non-United States entity has been domesticated (and also to the non-United States entity, if and for so long as the non-United States entity continues its existence in the foreign jurisdiction in which it was existing immediately prior to the domestication) and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had originally been incurred or contracted by it in its capacity as such corporation. The rights, privileges, powers and interests in property of the non-United States entity, as well as the debts, liabilities and duties of the non-United States entity, will not be deemed, as a consequence of the domestication, to have been transferred to the corporation to which such non-United States entity has domesticated for any purpose of the laws of the State of Delaware.

Cayman Islands Law

If the Domestication Proposal is approved, Galileo will also apply to de-register as a Cayman Islands exempted company pursuant to Section 206 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Upon the deregistration, Galileo will no longer be subject to the provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Except as provided in the Cayman Islands Companies Act, the deregistration will not affect the rights, powers, authorities, functions and liabilities or obligations of Galileo or any other person.

Accounting Treatment of the Domestication

The Domestication is being proposed solely for the purpose of changing the legal domicile of Galileo. There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of Galileo as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of Galileo immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those immediately prior to the Domestication.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that Galileo Acquisition Corp. be de-registered in the Cayman Islands pursuant to Article 46 of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Galileo Acquisition Corp. and be registered by way of continuation as a corporation in the State of Delaware and conditional upon, and with effect from, the registration of Galileo Acquisition Corp. in the State of Delaware as a corporation, governed by the Proposed Charter and Bylaws attached as Annex A and Annex B, respectively, to the joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus in respect of the meeting, at which time the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will be replaced by that Proposed Charter and Bylaws of the continued company as referenced in the joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus in respect of the meeting.”

127

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Required Vote for Approval

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the Proposal.

The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by Galileo’s shareholders.

Recommendation of the Galileo Board with Respect to the Domestication Proposal

THE GALILEO BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS

VOTE “FOR” THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 2: THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

Galileo is asking its shareholders to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. Shareholders should carefully read this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex C to this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and is incorporated into this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus by reference. Please see the subsection entitled “The Merger Agreement” below, for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement. You are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

The Merger Agreement

This section describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement and the related agreements. Galileo’s shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read such agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used in this section “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement” are defined in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates, including, in some cases, as of the Closing of the Business Combination. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the disclosure schedules attached thereto which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders. The disclosure schedules were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Galileo does not believe that the disclosure schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

General Description of the Merger Agreement; Organizational Structure

On April 28, 2021, Galileo entered into the Merger Agreement with Shapeways, Merger Sub, the Sponsor, in the capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Galileo (other than the Shapeways Securityholders) from and after the Closing (in such capacity, the “Purchaser Representative”), and the Seller Representative, in the capacity as the representative of the Shapeways Stockholders from and after the Closing of the Transactions.

128

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) prior to the Closing, Galileo will continue out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware to re-domicile and become a Delaware corporation and (ii) at the Closing of the Transaction, and following the Domestication and the PIPE Investment (defined below), Merger Sub will merge with and into Shapeways, with Shapeways continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Galileo, and with each Shapeways stockholder receiving shares of Common Stock at the Closing (as further described below). Simultaneously with entering into the Merger Agreement, Galileo entered into Subscription Agreements (as defined below) with the PIPE Investors to purchase a total of 7.5 million shares of Common Stock in Galileo at $10.00 per share with aggregate gross proceeds to Galileo of $75,000,000. The PIPE Investors include certain existing Shapeways stockholders and a strategic investor that has entered into a commercial relationship with Shapeways.

Merger Consideration and Earnout

The total consideration to be delivered to Shapeways Securityholders by Galileo at the Closing will have an aggregate value equal to $406,000,000, and will consist, in the case of Shapeways Stockholders, solely of new shares of Common Stock and, in the case of other Shapeways Securityholders, of new shares of Common Stock and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for new shares of Common Stock. The Merger Consideration deliverable to Shapeways Stockholders will be allocated pro rata based on their ownership in Shapeways after giving effect to the required conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Shapeways preferred stock into shares of Shapeways common stock immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the Closing.

After the Closing, shares of Common Stock representing 10% of the Merger Consideration will be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions based upon the VWAP of Common Stock reaching targets of $14.00 and $16.00, respectively (with 50% released at each target) for a period of 30 consecutive trading days during the three-year period after the Closing, with the portion of such shares that would otherwise be deliverable to Shapeways Stockholders at the Closing being withheld from payment and deposited into escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. A pro rata portion of the 10% Merger Consideration earnout will also be allocated to Shapeways options and warrants that are exchanged for options and warrants (as applicable) for shares of Galileo at the Closing (as described below).

Shapeways options issued pursuant to Shapeways’ 2010 Stock Plan that are not exercised prior to the Closing will be assumed by Galileo and converted, subject to certain adjustments that are described in the Merger Agreement, into options exercisable for shares of Common Stock and, in the case of in-the-money Shapeways options, a right to receive an award of restricted stock units denominated in shares of Common Stock that are subject to the Earnout Terms and to service-based vesting and forfeiture restrictions. Shapeways warrants that are not exercised prior to the Closing will be assumed by Galileo and converted into warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock and, in the case of in-the-money Shapeways warrants, warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock that are subject to the vesting and forfeiture restrictions included in the Earnout Terms. Prior to the Closing, outstanding Shapeways Convertible Notes will be converted into shares of Shapeways Preferred Stock at the election of the holders thereof, which will then be converted into shares of Shapeways Common Stock prior to the Closing.

Representations and Warranties

Under the Merger Agreement, each of Galileo and Shapeways make customary representations and warranties.

The representations and warranties of Shapeways relate to, among other things, with respect to Shapeways:

•

The representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement are made by and to Shapeways and Galileo as of specific dates. The statements embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Merger Agreement between the parties and certain of the representations are subject to important and specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement or in information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement, may or may not be accurate as of the date they were made, and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and were negotiated for the purpose of allocating contractual risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement rather than to establish matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a standard of materiality or material adverse effect different from those generally applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, may have changed since the date of the Merger Agreement, and subsequent developments or new information qualifying a representation or warranty may have been included in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. For the foregoing reasons, the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions of those provisions should not be read alone or relied upon as characterizations of the actual

136

state of facts or condition of Galileo and Shapeways or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Instead, such provisions or descriptions should be read only in conjunction with the other information provided elsewhere in this document or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Material Adverse Effect

Certain of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as hereinafter defined), as well as information provided in the disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement. As used in the Merger Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any specified person or entity, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon (i) the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person or entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of such person or entity or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the ancillary documents relating to the Merger Agreement to which such person or entity is a party or bound or to perform the obligations of such person or entity thereunder, in each case, subject to certain customary exceptions.

No Survival

The representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Merger Agreement terminate as of, and do not survive, the Closing, and there are no indemnification rights for another party’s breach.

The parties further agreed to take commercially reasonable actions so that the individuals serving as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Shapeways immediately after the Closing will be the same individuals (in the same office) as that of Shapeways immediately prior to the Closing (unless, at its sole discretion, Shapeways desires to appoint another qualified person to either such role, in which case, such other person identified by Shapeways will serve in such role).

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including: (i) by mutual written consent of Galileo and Shapeways; (ii) by either Galileo or Shapeways if any of the conditions to Closing have not been satisfied or waived by August 31, 2021 (with such date being subject to an extension of up to three months in the event Galileo obtains an extension of the deadline by which it must complete its business combination pursuant to its organizational documents); (iii) by either Galileo or Shapeways if a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transaction, and such order or other action has become final and non-appealable; (iv) by either Galileo or Shapeways in the event of the other party’s uncured breach, if such breach would result in the failure of a closing condition (and so long as the terminating party is not also in breach under the Merger Agreement); (v) by Galileo if there has been a Material Adverse Effect on Shapeways and its subsidiaries following the date of the Merger Agreement that remains uncured for at least 20 days after written notice; (vi) by either Galileo or Shapeways if the shareholders of Galileo do not approve the Merger Agreement and the Transaction at an extraordinary general meeting held by Galileo; and (vii) by either Galileo or Shapeways if Shapeways holds a general meeting or special meeting of stockholders, as applicable, to approve the Merger Agreement and the Transaction and such approval is not obtained.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated, all further obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement (except for certain obligations related to publicity, confidentiality, fees and expenses, trust fund waiver, no recourse, termination and general provisions) will terminate, and no party to the Merger Agreement will have any further liability to any other party thereto except for liability for actual fraud (as defined under Delaware corporate law) or for willful breach of the Merger Agreement prior to termination. The Merger Agreement does not provide for any termination fees.

Trust Account Waiver

Shapeways and Merger Sub each agreed that they and their affiliates will not have any right, title, interest of any kind in or to any monies in Galileo’s Trust Account held for its public stockholders, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) other than in connection with the Closing.

Related Agreements

This section describes the material provisions of certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Related Agreements”) but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof or include all of the additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Merger

143

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of each of the Related Agreements. Galileo’s shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read such Related Agreements in their entirety.

Voting Agreements

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Galileo and Shapeways have entered into Voting and Support Agreements (collectively, the “Voting Agreements”) with certain stockholders of Shapeways required to approve the Transactions. Under the Voting Agreements, each Shapeways Stockholder party thereto agreed to vote all of such shareholder’s shares of Shapeways in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Transaction and to otherwise take (or not take, as applicable) certain other actions in support of the Merger Agreement and the Transaction and the other matters to be submitted to the Shapeways Stockholders for approval in connection with the Transaction, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in the Voting Agreements, and provide a proxy to Galileo to vote such Shapeways shares accordingly (subject to the condition that this Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, provided that the covenants not to take certain actions to delay, impair or impede the Transaction as set forth in the Voting Agreements shall take effect from the date such agreements are executed). The Voting Agreements prevent transfers of the Shapeways shares held by the Shapeways shareholders party thereto between the date of the Voting Agreement and the date of Closing, except for certain permitted transfers where the recipient also agrees to comply with the Voting Agreement.

Lock-Up Agreements

Non-Competition Agreement

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Greg Kress, CEO of Shapeways, entered into the Non-Competition Agreement in favor Shapeways and Galileo and their respective present and future successors and direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Covered Parties”). Under the Non-Competition Agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Kress agrees not to compete with Galileo, Shapeways and their respective affiliates during the two-year period following the Closing and, during such two-year restricted period, not to solicit employees or customers of such entities. The Non-Competition Agreement also contains customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions.

Sponsor Forfeiture Letter

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Galileo and the Sponsor entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to forfeit 690,000 of the Galileo ordinary shares initially purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement prior to Galileo’s initial public offering, contingent upon the Closing.

PIPE Investment

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Galileo and Shapeways entered into Subscription Agreements with PIPE Investors for an aggregate for 7,500,000 shares of Galileo’s common

144

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate of $75,000,000, in a private placement to be consummated simultaneously with the closing of the Transaction. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements is conditioned on the concurrent Closing and other customary closing conditions. Among other things, each PIPE Investor agreed in the Subscription Agreement that it and its affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in Galileo’s Trust Account held for its public stockholders, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom). In addition, Shapeways granted certain customary resale registration rights to the PIPE Investors in the Subscription Agreements.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Closing, certain Shapeways Stockholders who will be affiliates of Galileo immediately after the Closing will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement to provide such Shapeways Stockholders with registration rights that are substantially similar in all material respects to, and pari passu with, the registration rights of the Sponsor and EBC pursuant that that certain Founder Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2019, by and among the Purchaser, the Sponsor and EBC.

Founder Registration Rights Agreement Amendment

In connection with the Closing, Galileo, the Sponsor and EBC shall enter into an amendment (the “Founder Registration Rights Amendment”), to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2019, by and among the Purchaser, the Sponsor and EBC reflecting that the registration rights of the Sponsor and EBC thereunder will be pari passu with the registration rights provided to applicable Shapeways Stockholders under the Registration Rights Agreement.

Interests of Galileo’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination

•

the fact that designees of EBC own 150,000 ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”), issued to them for nominal consideration in connection with the IPO, and 548,000 Private Warrants, purchased by EBC at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant. If Galileo consummates the Business Combination, the Representative Shares, and the shares that issuable pursuant to the Private Warrants, will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination. Based on the closing trading price of ordinary shares on August 31, 2021, which is $10.04, the Representative Shares would had an aggregate value of $1,506,000 as of the same date. However, if Galileo does not consummate Business

145

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Combination or another business combination by October 22, 2021, and Galileo is therefore required to be liquidated, these securities may be worthless;

•

the fact that, pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement entered into by Galileo and EBC in connection with the IPO, upon consummation of the Business Combination, a transaction fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds received by Galileo in the IPO, or $4,830,000 (up to 25% of which ($1,207,500) may be paid to investment banks or other financial advisors that did not participate in the IPO and assist Galileo in consummating a business combination) (the “EBC Transaction Fee”), will be payable to EBC and EBC will also be reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses associated with services performed in connection with the IPO, up to an aggregate amount of $20,000. Accordingly, EBC has an interest in Galileo completing the Business Combination because, if the Business Combination (or another business combination) is not consummated, EBC will receive the EBC Transaction Fee or have these expenses reimbursed;

•

the fact that the Private Warrants purchased by the Sponsor will be worthless if Galileo does not consummate a business combination. As of August 31, 2021, based on the closing trading price of Public Warrants on August 31, 2021, the aggregate value of the 3,562,000 Private Warrants purchased by the Sponsor would have been be $3,740,100. Further, if Galileo is not able to consummate an initial business combination by October 22, 2021, the Sponsor will not have the ability to convert the Sponsor Note into 500,000 Sponsor Warrants in accordance with its terms. Based on the closing trading price of the Public Warrants on August 31, 2021, the aggregate value of the 500,000 Sponsor Warrants as of August 31, 2021, would be $525,000. Additionally, if Galileo is not able to consummate an initial business combination by October 22, 2021, Galileo may not be able to repay the Sponsor the $525,000 loan in consideration of which the Sponsor Note was issued by Galileo to the Sponsor;

•

the fact that, in connection with the anticipated appointment of Alberto Recchi and Patrick S. Jones, two of Galileo’s directors, as directors of the Company after the consummation of the Business Combination, Messrs. Recchi and Jones in the future they will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Board determines to pay to such directors.

At any time prior to the Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Galileo or its securities, Galileo’s initial shareholders, Shapeways and/or their respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such securities purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the Proposals presented to shareholders for approval at the Meeting are approved or to provide additional equity financing. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of Galileo’s Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact

146

TABLE OF CONTENTS

nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options.

Entering into any such incentive arrangements may have a depressive effect on outstanding Galileo Ordinary Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the Meeting.

Galileo’s Current Charter includes a waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine, which would otherwise require directors and officers to offer business opportunities of which they become aware to Galileo. Consequently, under Galileo’s Current Charter, Galileo’s directors and officers are not obligated to introduce to Galileo business opportunities of which they became aware in which Galileo may have had an interest, but could offer such business opportunities to others or pursue them for their own benefit.

However, in order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple affiliations, each of Galileo’s directors and officers agreed in the Sponsor Letter Agreement that, until the earlier of Galileo’s consummation of an initial business combination or liquidation, such director or officer will present to Galileo for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, any suitable opportunity to acquire a target business, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations of such director or officer.

Nonetheless, the personal and financial interests of Galileo’s directors and officers may influence their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination. The different timelines of competing business combinations could cause Galileo’s directors and officers to prioritize a different business combination over finding a suitable acquisition target for its business combination. Consequently, Galileo’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in Galileo’s shareholders’ best interest, which could negatively impact the timing for a business combination. Galileo is not aware of any such conflicts of interest and does not believe that any such conflicts of interest have impacted its search for an acquisition target.

If a corporation waives the corporate opportunity doctrine, a director or officer of the corporation has an inherent conflict of interest in deciding whether to present a particular business opportunity to that or any other corporation on whose board such individual serves or to pursue it for such individual’s own personal interests. Galileo is not aware of any officer or director of Galileo that was required to forego presenting any opportunity to acquire a target business to Galileo as a result of a pre-existing fiduciary contractual obligation and, to Galileo’s knowledge, the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine in the Current Charter did not impact Galileo’s search for an acquisition target.

Exchange Listing

Galileo’s units, ordinary shares and warrants are traded on the NYSE under the symbols “GLEO.U,” “GLEO”, and “GLEO WS”, respectively. At the Closing of the Business Combination, Galileo’s units will

147

TABLE OF CONTENTS

separate into their component shares so that the units will no longer trade separately. Galileo intends to apply to continue the listing of its Common Stock and warrants on the NYSE under the symbols “SHPW” and “SHPW WS,” respectively, upon the Closing.

Background of the Business Combination

Galileo is a Cayman Islands exempted company structured as a blank check company which was incorporated on July 30, 2019 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, Galileo conducted a thorough search for a potential business combination transaction, drawing upon, among other things, the extensive network and investing and operating experience of Galileo’s management team, the members of the Galileo Board and input from Galileo’s strategic advisors. The terms of the proposed business combination with Shapeways were the result of thorough negotiations between the representatives of Galileo and Shapeways, as further described below.

Prior to the consummation of the IPO, neither Galileo, nor anyone on its behalf, had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a proposed transaction with Shapeways. The following is a brief description of the background of the negotiations, the Business Combination and related transactions.

From the date of its IPO through the date of the execution of the Merger Agreement, Galileo’s management and the Galileo Board evaluated and considered a number of potential target companies as candidates for a possible business combination transaction. Representatives of Galileo contacted and were contacted by a number of individuals and entities who offered to present potential acquisition opportunities to Galileo across a variety of business sectors, mostly based in either Western Europe or North America. Galileo and its advisors compiled a list of high priority potential targets and updated and supplemented such list from time to time. This list of potential opportunities was periodically shared with, and reviewed in detail by, the Galileo Board.

During that period, Galileo and representatives of Galileo:

•

Identified and evaluated over 200 potential acquisition target companies;

•

Participated in in-person or telephonic discussions with representatives of more than 100 potential acquisition targets; and

•

Signed more than fifteen non-disclosure agreements and provided initial non-binding indications of interest to representatives of approximately five potential acquisition targets (other than Shapeways).

Galileo reviewed the potential acquisition opportunities based on criteria that were the same or similar to the criteria that the Galileo Board used in evaluating the potential Business Combination with Shapeways (as discussed below), which included, among other criteria, the markets in which potential target companies operate and their competitive positions and “track records” within such markets, the experience of the potential target companies’ management teams and the potential for revenue and earnings growth and strong free cash flow generation. Galileo focused on sectors and companies that its management believed would benefit from being a publicly traded company on a stock exchange in the United States.

Description of negotiation process with candidates other than Shapeways

Following the completion of the IPO in October 2019, representatives of Galileo engaged in extensive discussions with a number of financial advisors, consulting firms and companies, mostly based in the United States, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom, with respect to potential acquisition opportunities. Management initially focused Galileo’s search on targets operating in the consumer, retail, food and beverage, fashion and luxury, specialty industrial, technology or healthcare sectors which are headquartered in Western Europe and have significant North American exports and clearly defined North American high growth strategies, with an emphasis on family-owned businesses, portfolio companies of private equity and venture capital funds and corporate “spin-offs”.

On January 8, 2020, Luca Giacometti, the Chief Executive Officer of Galileo, held a conference call with a U.K based private equity fund regarding one of its portfolio companies, Company A, an international sailmaker and sports apparel manufacturer headquartered in the United States with operations in Italy, to

148

TABLE OF CONTENTS

discuss the possibility of engaging in a possible business combination transaction, which would result in the combined company being listed on the NYSE. On January 13, 2020, Alberto Recchi, the Chief Financial Officer of Galileo, met in New York City with the Chief Executive Officer of Company A to discuss the prospects of a listing on the NYSE and to learn more about the strategy and growth prospects of Company A’s business. On January 14, 2020, Company A shared a management presentation with Galileo. On January 28, 2020, Mr. Recchi and Alberto Pontonio, a member of the board of Galileo, held a conference call with Company A’s Chief Financial Officer and certain members of the U.K. based private equity fund to discuss a financial model which outlined the mechanics of engaging in a business combination transaction with a special purpose acquisition company (a “SPAC”). On February 4, 2020, members of the U.K. based private equity fund, the Chief Executive Officer of Company A and Galileo’s management team held a conference call to discuss the valuation of Company A and a potential deal structure. The next day, Mr. Recchi forwarded to members of the private equity fund and the Chief Executive Officer of Company A, a financial model with revised valuation assumptions and a draft of an initial non-binding indication of interest. On February 24, 2020, Mr. Recchi forwarded additional materials to Company A describing alternative merger structures, the due diligence requirements and the financial reporting requirements to be listed on the NYSE. The U.K. based private equity fund and Company A’s management team ultimately decided not to pursue a business combination transaction with Galileo, as they determined that Company A was not yet ready to become listed on the NYSE.

On January 27, 2020, Mr. Giacometti held a meeting with the founder of Company B, a software developer company based in Italy and the United States. On February 7, 2020, Mr. Giacometti met again with the founder of Company B and with the Chief Operating Officer of Company B to discuss the financial, accounting and other requirements applicable to U.S. public companies whose securities are listed on the NYSE and to present a financial model outlining the mechanics of a possible business combination with a SPAC, as well as preliminary valuation considerations relevant to Company B. On February 17, 2020, Mr. Giacometti and Mr. Recchi met in person, in Italy, with the founder of Company B and Mr. Pontonio also participated in the meeting by telephone. At the meeting, the Chief Executive Officer of Company B shared a management presentation which was followed by a question and answer session. On February 27, 2020, Mr. Giacometti submitted a draft of an initial non-binding indication of interest to Company B’s founder and its legal counsel. On March 11, 2020, the Chief Operating Officer of Company B sent an updated business plan to Galileo and on April 2, 2020, Mr. Recchi sent Company B a due diligence request list. On April 21, 2020, Galileo was given access to a virtual dataroom containing information about Company B. Galileo continued to conduct due diligence on Company B throughout the month of May, as the Company was in the process of re-auditing its financial statements in accordance with U.S. PCAOB standards. It was subsequently determined by Company B that it would not be possible to effect a business combination with Galileo within the time period during which Company B indicated that it would need to engage in a transaction and therefore the transaction was abandoned.

On January 17, 2020, Mr. Giacometti met in Italy with the co-founder of Company C, a U.S. based research company with operations in France, which was formed to develop a futuristic transportation system. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a potential business combination transaction with Galileo and the listing of Company C on the NYSE. On February 11, 2020, a conference call was held between Galileo’s management team and the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Strategy Officer of Company C to continue discussions regarding a possible merger with Galileo. On February 25, 2020, Company C and Galileo entered into a non-disclosure agreement. On the same day, Mr. Recchi provided additional materials to Company C which described possible structures for a potential transaction between the parties, the due diligence process and the financial reporting requirements applicable to U.S. public companies, including for compliance with NYSE listing standards. On February 26, 2020, Galileo’s management team was given access to a virtual dataroom containing information about Company C. Between March 2020 and May 2020 Galileo conducted due diligence on Company C. On April 21, 2020, Galileo sent a draft of an initial non-binding indication of interest to Company C. Conversations between Galileo and Company C continued until the end of June 2020, when Galileo sent Company C’s board of directors a written non-binding proposal outlining the prerequisites that Company C would need to fulfill in order for Galileo to consider proceeding with a possible business combination transaction with Company C. Company C’s board of directors did not formally respond to Galileo’s proposal and discussions about a possible transaction with Company C were therefore abandoned in July 2020.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In early May 2020, EBC, in its capacity as Galileo’s managing underwriter and pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, introduced Galileo’s management team to the financial advisors of Company D, a leading waste management and environmental services business based in the Middle East. Company D had been evaluating a direct listing on the London Stock Exchange and a potential listing on the NYSE through a transaction with a SPAC. On May 28, 2020, Company D entered into a non-disclosure agreement with Galileo. On June 7, 2020, Mr. Recchi and Mr. Pontonio held a conference call with representatives of EBC (who had spoken with Company D’s financial advisors the previous day) to discuss valuation expectations and a potential timetable for a transaction with Company D. On July 6, 2020, Company D provided an updated business plan to Galileo and the parties held a conference call on July 7, 2020 to discuss the business plan with Company D’s Chief Financial Officer. On July 20, 2020, Galileo submitted a revised financial model with preliminary valuation considerations, an indicative transaction timetable, a list of prerequisites for compliance with NYSE listing requirements and a draft of an initial non-binding indication of interest. During July 2020 and August 2020, Galileo continued its financial and accounting due diligence on Company D. As part of its due diligence efforts, Galileo considered, among other factors, potential risks associated with operating in the waste management industry and environmental services sectors, including, but not limited to, regulatory, environmental and health and safety risks. As Company D operates in the United Arab Emirates and other emerging markets, in its evaluation, Galileo considered the possible economic and business risks associated with operating businesses in emerging markets, including risks related to cultural differences in employment and business practices, compliance risks, economic and government instability, currency fluctuations, and the imposition of foreign exchange and capital controls. While these factors and their impact are difficult to predict, any one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Taking into account Galileo’s management team’s perceptions of market conditions at that time, Galileo subsequently decided to abandon the potential transaction with Company D to focus on potential business combinations with targets operating in different industries and geographic areas other than the industry and areas in which Company D operates.

On July 27, 2020, a partner at a Milan, Italy-based law firm organized a conference call to facilitate an introduction between the Chairman and Vice Chairman of Company E, a global talent media company and Mr. Giacometti. The purpose of the call was to discuss a possible business combination transaction between Company E and Galileo. Subsequently, on July 31, 2020, a conference call was held with Mr. Giacometti, Mr. Recchi and Mr. Pontonio from Galileo, and the Chairman and Vice Chairman of Company E. During the conference call the Chairman of Company E discussed with Galileo the potential merits of Company E engaging in a transaction with a SPAC, following which the combined company would be listed on the NYSE. The Chairman of Company E noted that a transaction with a SPAC and listing on the NYSE could potentially align well with Company E’s goals and asked Galileo’s management team to schedule an introductory meeting between Mr. Recchi and Company E’s Chief Executive Officer at Company E’s headquarters in New York City. On August 3, 2020, Company E and Galileo entered into a non-disclosure agreement, following which Company E provided Galileo’s management with certain due diligence and financial information about Company E; access to a virtual dataroom was also provided to representatives of Galileo. On August 5, 2020, Mr. Recchi met with Company E’s CEO, Chief Financial Officer and COO at Company E’s headquarters; Mr. Pontonio also participated to the meeting by teleconference. Mr. Recchi and Mr. Pontonio attended a management presentation and also discussed Company E’s need to obtain PCAOB audited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and how the timing of delivery of such audited financial statements could impact the overall timeline for a potential transaction between Company E and Galileo. Between August 6, 2020 and August 26, 2020, a number of telephonic meetings were held to discuss, among other things, Company E’s business plan, general due diligence items and the anticipated process for negotiating and entering into prospective agreements with investors in a private placement investment process. On August 9, 2020 Galileo presented Company E with a proposed letter of intent. Following several rounds of negotiations with Company E’s Chairman and CEO, the Galileo Board approved entering into the letter of intent by unanimous written consent on August 27, 2020, following which the parties commenced negotiation of the terms of definitive agreements related to a potential business combination. Ultimately, the parties could not reach agreement on certain key terms and mutually agreed to abandon discussions concerning a potential transaction.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Description of negotiation process with Shapeways

From time to time, Shapeways’ management team and board of directors (the “Shapeways Board”) reviewed and evaluated potential strategic opportunities and alternatives with a view to enhancing stockholder value and accelerating its growth. Such opportunities and alternatives included, among other things, private financing transactions, capital markets transactions and possible business combination transactions. In February 2020, representatives of Shapeways engaged Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”) to serve as its financial advisor in connection with this review and evaluation.

At the meeting of the Shapeways Board on July 27, 2020, Shapeways management and Stifel presented certain strategic alternatives for the consideration of the Shapeways Board, including the possibility of pursuing a business combination transaction with a SPAC. Following this meeting, Shapeways management worked with Stifel to commence an active search for prospective SPAC counterparties. The Shapeways management team and Stifel considered numerous potential SPAC counterparties and narrowed the list down to approximately thirty one attractive counterparties. After discussion with Stifel and Shapeways’ board of directors, the Shapeways management team further narrowed the list to ten potential SPAC counterparties that had good reputations, strong industry knowledge, and/or technology or manufacturing backgrounds. Between December 4, 2020, and December 21, 2020, the Shapeways management team and Stifel made management presentations describing Shapeways’ operations, relevant industry trends, the market for the products Shapeways sells, and an overview of Shapeways’ business plan to ten prospective SPAC counterparties. On December 16, 2020, representatives of Stifel, on behalf of Shapeways, distributed a bid process letter to nine of these potential SPAC counterparties to assess whether they were interested in a potential business combination with Shapeways.

On December 10, 2020, representatives from Stifel, on behalf of Shapeways, contacted Galileo about a potential target operating in the additive manufacturing 3D printing industry, which was interested in potentially engaging in a business combination transaction with a SPAC.

On December 16, 2020, Mr. Giacometti, Mr. Recchi and Mr. Pontonio received an executive summary from Stifel on Shapeways as well as a bid process letter and, on the same day, Galileo and Shapeways entered into a non-disclosure agreement. A management presentation was scheduled for December 18, 2020.

On December 18, 2020, representatives from Galileo attended a management presentation also attended by representatives from Stifel, during which Mr. Gregory Kress, CEO of Shapeways, and Ms. Jennifer Walsh, Chief Financial Officer of Shapeways, described Shapeways’ operations, relevant industry trends and the market for the products Shapeways sells, in addition to giving an overview of the business plan. The presentation was followed by a questions and answers session. On the same day, Stifel provided representatives of Galileo with access to a virtual dataroom containing certain detailed financial and legal materials of Shapeways and asked Galileo to submit a preliminary written, non-binding indication of interest by December 22, 2020. From the end of February until April 28, 2021 (the date on which the Merger Agreement was signed), various representatives of each of Galileo, Galileo’s US legal counsel, Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP (“EGS”), and Dutch legal counsel, Houthoff, conducted due diligence of Shapeways through document review and numerous telephonic conferences with representatives of Shapeways, including Shapeways’ legal counsel, Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP (“Gunderson”) and Stifel. During this period, the virtual dataroom was periodically updated with additional documentation.

Between December 18, 2020 and December 22, 2020, Galileo engaged in several calls with Stifel to discuss the opportunity and answer initial due diligence questions posed by representatives of Galileo, including timing for Shapeways to obtain PCAOB-audited financial statements for FY2019 and FY2020. Publicly available research reports and research analysts’ views on Shapeways’ public comparable companies in the additive manufacturing sector, including, but not limited to, Desktop Metal, Inc., Proto Labs, Inc. and Materialise NV were also reviewed and discussed. On December 22, 2020, Galileo submitted to Stifel a non-binding indication of interest related to a potential business combination with Shapeways.

On December 29, 2020, Mr. Giacometti, Mr. Recchi and Mr. Pontonio had a telephone call with representatives from Stifel to discuss the initial feedback from the Shapeways’ Board regarding Galileo’s indication of interest letter, in addition to general commercial terms of the potential transaction, including the expectation of raising a PIPE of approximately $100 million. A detailed financial model walk-through was also scheduled for January 6, 2021.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On January 6, 2021, Mr. Giacometti, Mr. Recchi and Mr. Pontonio had a call with the CEO and Chief Financial Officer of Shapeways and representatives from Stifel to discuss the forecasting methodology and monetization strategy used to build Shapeways’ financial model, and capital requirements needed to support the company’s projected growth. The discussion focused around Shapeways’ five-year forecast including the assumptions around a cohort revenue build-up model which assumed no growth from new acquisitions. The potential composition of a post-closing board of directors, timing for Shapeways to obtain the PCAOB audits, and general due diligence questions, stemming from a review of the virtual dataroom by representatives of Galileo, were also discussed.

On January 7, 2021, Mr. Recchi visited Shapeways’ manufacturing facility in Long Island City, New York, where he met with Shapeways’ CEO, Mr. Kress, Mr. Miko Levy, Chief Revenue Officer of Shapeways and representatives of Stifel. Mr. Kress and Mr. Levy provided Mr. Recchi with a full software product demo and a manufacturing site tour. In addition, an overview of the manufacturing site in Europe, situated in Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, was provided in detail via a video presentation.

On January 13, 2021, another conference call was arranged to discuss Shapeways’ financial model and address questions from the Galileo management team about the assumptions underlying the projected financial information presented to Galileo by Shapeways. On January 15, 2021, Galileo submitted a revised indication of interest to Shapeways, along with a draft Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with a proposed schedule of transaction sources and uses based on information provided by Shapeways. On January 21, 2021, a conference call between Galileo and Stifel was arranged to address Shapeways’ feedback on Galileo’s proposed LOI and address further due diligence requests posed by Galileo. On January 27, 2021, the Shapeways Board held a special telephonic meeting to discuss the draft LOI. Also on January 27, 2021, representatives of Galileo had a conference call with Stifel’s research analyst, Ms. Noelle Dilts. Ms. Dilts provided an overview of her outlook of the 3D printing/additive manufacturing sector, including growth opportunities and new technologies. A handful of publicly traded companies in this sector, for which Ms. Dilts had initiated coverage, were also discussed, including 3D Systems Corporation, The ExOne Co. and Stratasys Ltd.

On February 1, 2021, a conference call was held between representatives of Stifel and Galileo. Due diligence questions posed by Galileo were addressed and certain commercial terms in the LOI were discussed. An update on Shapeways’ audit review process was also provided. On February 9, 2021, a conference call was held between representatives of Galileo and representatives of Stifel to discuss certain outstanding commercial terms in the LOI. A private placement of Common Stock (the “PIPE Investment”), eventually culminating in the PIPE Investment described elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus to be arranged, negotiated and documented, alongside the negotiation and documentation of the potential business combination transaction between Galileo and Shapeways, was also discussed. The telephonic conference included a discussion of strategic approaches to the PIPE Investment, process, and the possible base of investors that might have an interest in participating in the PIPE Investment.

Between January 15, 2021 and February 11, 2021, the parties negotiated the terms of the LOI. The negotiations between Galileo and Shapeways included discussion of the following items: (i) the length and scope of the exclusivity period (ultimately, the parties agreed upon an exclusivity period of 30 days, to be automatically extended for an additional 30-day period provided good faith negotiations between the parties were on-going and provided that Galileo could not be restricted from conversations with other potential business combination counterparties during the due diligence and negotiation process); (ii) the structure and amount of the portion of the Merger Consideration that would be subject to certain earn-out terms and conditions during a period after the Closing; (iii) the reduction, if any, of the number of securities of the Combined Company held by the Sponsor and its affiliates (with the Sponsor ultimately agreeing to forfeit 690,000 Sponsor Shares, contingent upon the Closing); (iv) a pre-money equity valuation of Shapeways of $845 million, which was agreed by the parties (after taking into account the trading prices and valuations of public comparable companies to Shapeways at the time of execution of the LOI) and (v) Galileo’s intention to pursue a private placement of equity to occur simultaneously with the business combination, with the parties ultimately agreeing in the LOI that the definitive agreement would require, as a closing condition, that Galileo have cash and cash equivalents at the Closing at least equal to the total commitments to the PIPE transaction, including the PIPE proceeds and funds remaining in the Trust Account after any redemptions by Public Shareholders, but prior to payment of transaction expenses and other liabilities due in connection with the Closing.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On February 11, 2021, the Shapeways Board held a special telephonic board meeting, during which the Shapeways management team presented an update on Shapeways’ search for a prospective SPAC counterparty, including the status and outcome of management’s ongoing outreach to and discussions with other potential SPAC counterparties and the status of negotiations with Galileo. At the February 11, 2021, meeting of the Shapeways Board, the Shapeways Board determined that it was in the best interests of Shapeways and its stockholders to enter into the LOI with Galileo and negotiate exclusively with Galileo on terms of a definitive agreement with respect to a business combination with Galileo. Subsequently on February 11, 2021, the LOI was executed by both Shapeways and Galileo.

On February 12, 2021, Mr. Recchi and Mr. Pontonio had a call with Mr. Josh Wolfe, founder of Lux Capital, a significant shareholder in Shapeways, and director of Shapeways to compare views around the strategic approaches to the PIPE Investment. The engagement of one or more placement agents to lead discussions with prospective PIPE Investors in the PIPE Investment was also discussed and agreed.

On February 15, 2021, Mr. Kress and Ms. Walsh conducted a dry-run of a “roadshow presentation” intended to be presented to prospective investors in the PIPE Investment with representatives from Stifel and Galileo. On the same day, Mr. Recchi and Mr. Kress met in person in NYC to discuss certain due diligence items, as well as the possible composition of the board of directors following consummation of the Business Combination and PIPE Investment strategy.

On February 16, 2021, representatives of EGS and Gunderson held a telephonic meeting to discuss the potential business combination, including timeline and structure.

On February 23, 2021, Galileo formally engaged Stifel to act as its exclusive placement agent with respect to the PIPE Investment. On February 24, 2021, another call between representatives of Galileo and Ms. Dilts was held. Ms. Dilts provided a general update on the 3D printing and additive manufacturing sector and answered a handful of due diligence questions posed by representatives of Galileo on the industry and sector growth prospects.

On March 1, 2021 Stifel, in its capacity as placement agent, formally launched the marketing process related to the PIPE Investment. This included meetings designed as “banking and research teach-ins” with Stifel’s institutional sales force. The banking “teach-in” included a management presentation delivered by Mr. Kress and Ms. Walsh. Meetings with prospective PIPE Investors began on March 3, 2021; during the following three weeks, a total of 55 meetings with prospective investors were held. On March 12, March 16 and March 23, 2021, Stifel hosted townhall meetings during which Mr. Kress provided a demonstration of the features and capabilities of the software that Shapeways uses to manage its end-to end digital manufacturing process.

On March 10, 2021, EGS sent Gunderson an initial draft of the proposed Merger Agreement, to which Gunderson responded with a proposed revised draft on March 21, 2021. Gunderson and EGS discussed various elements of the proposed revised draft of the Merger Agreement during a telephonic meeting on March 31, 2021, including, but not limited to, (i) the aggregate Merger Consideration and the portion of the Merger Consideration subject to the Earnout Terms (as defined below) (taking into account input from their respective financial advisors reflecting feedback from prospective subscribers in the PIPE Investment (as further described below), the parties ultimately agreed to lower the Merger Consideration from $845 million, the amount reflected in the LOI to $406 million, with shares of Common Stock representing 10% of the Merger Consideration to be subject to the post-Closing Earnout Terms), (ii) the structure of consideration payable to Shapeways Securityholders and the extent to which such consideration would be subject to the Earnout Terms (the LOI reflected that 10% of the shares of Common Stock issuable as consideration in the Merger would be subject to the Earnout Terms and the parties eventually agreed that all Shapeways Securityholders would be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the Earnout Consideration), (iii) the scope of representations and warranties (in addition to being provided written diligence responses, Galileo and its counsel carried out detailed discussions with Shapeways management and counsel concerning Shapeways’ proposed representations and warranties), (iv) a “minimum cash condition” that must be satisfied by Galileo immediately prior to the Closing, waivable by Shapeways, which Galileo and Shapeways ultimately agreed will be $100 million, inclusive of funds remaining in the Trust Account (after redemptions) and the proceeds from the PIPE Investment, prior to giving effect to the payment of Galileo’s unpaid expenses or liabilities, provided that, prior to the Closing, Galileo may, but is not required to, enter into additional Subscription Agreements

153

with PIPE investors, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (v) whether a portion of the Sponsor Shares would be subject to restrictions equivalent to the Earnout Terms after the Closing (the parties ultimately agreed that a portion of the Sponsor Shares would be forfeited at the Closing pursuant to the Sponsor Forfeiture Letter), and (vi) indemnification rights (although the parties had agreed on limited indemnification protections under the terms of the LOI, Galileo ultimately agreed to transaction terms under which neither party is indemnified for breaches of representations or warranties). EGS and Gunderson continued to negotiate the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements throughout the month of April (through April 28, 2021), while EGS and Galileo also continued due diligence efforts. Between April 5 and April 7, 2021, EGS, Gunderson, Shapeways management and Shapeways intellectual property counsel participated in virtual and telephonic due diligence meetings related to benefits, tax and intellectual property matters.

On March 17, 2021, Mr. Kress, Ms. Walsh and representatives of Stifel participated in a telephonic conference with Mr. Rick Fulop, the chief executive officer of Desktop Metal, to discuss the potential for a strategic commercial partnership between Shapeways and Desktop Metal in connection with the potential business combination between Shapeways and Galileo. Between March 17, 2021, and March 26, 2021, representatives of Shapeways and Stifel spoke to Mr. Fulop by phone and corresponded with him and certain other representatives of Desktop Metal by email to discuss potential terms of such a strategic partnership. On March 26, 2021, Shapeways and Desktop Metal entered into a memorandum of understanding to establish a multi-year strategic commercial partnership. Through this strategic partnership Shapeways expects to:

•

Expand upon the long-standing relationship between Shapeways and EnvisionTEC. EnvisionTEC, a leading global provider of volume production photopolymer 3D printing solutions for end-use parts, operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Desktop Metal;

•

Accelerate the capabilities and penetration in the industrial metal additive manufacturing market.

Desktop Metal subsequently entered into a Subscription Agreement (as further described below) related to a commitment to purchase PIPE Shares in the PIPE Investment.

Between late March 2021 and April 28, 2021, Stifel engaged in discussions with prospective PIPE Investors about the terms of, and possible commitments to, the PIPE Investment. Among the terms discussed with prospective PIPE Investors were the valuation of Shapeways, the structure and certain terms of the proposed business combination, and the treatment of Founder Shares of Galileo in connection with the proposed Business Combination. As a result of these discussions, taking into account feedback from prospective PIPE investors and market conditions in late April 2021, including the trading prices and valuations of Shapeways’ public comparable companies (as further described under the heading titled “Comparable Company Considerations” below), and the downward revisions to those valuations since February 2021, Galileo and Shapeways agreed that the Merger Consideration to be delivered to the Shapeways Securityholders at the Closing, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, would be $406 million. Based upon feedback from prospective PIPE Investors, relayed to Galileo by Stifel, the valuation of Shapeways was ultimately validated and, in order to reduce the potential dilutive effect of their interests on the Company’s outstanding common stock following the potential Business Combination, Galileo’s initial shareholders agreed to forfeit 690,000 Founders Shares, at and contingent upon the Closing. Following the discussions with and input from PIPE Investors expressing interest in the PIPE Investment, a form of subscription agreement for the PIPE Investment was presented to all prospective PIPE Investors on April 23, 2021, with the request to receive executed subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) by close of business on April 26, 2021. Between April 23, 2021 and April 26, 2021, Gunderson and EGS continued to negotiate the terms of the Subscription Agreements with the prospective investors in the PIPE Investment and their respective counsel. Stifel finalized proposed allocations with the prospective PIPE investors on the evening of April 27, 2021.

On April 6, 2021, EGS distributed a revised draft Merger Agreement to Gunderson and EGS and Gunderson continued to exchange drafts of the Merger Agreement and Ancillary Agreements throughout the month of April, until April 28, 2021. EGS and Gunderson held numerous telephonic meetings during this time and exchanged checklists tracking open items related to the Merger Agreement and Ancillary Agreements. The parties and their legal counsel negotiated and discussed, among other issues, the terms and timing for execution and delivery of Ancillary Agreements, the application of the Earnout Terms to the

154

TABLE OF CONTENTS

consideration to be delivered to the Shapeways Securityholders at the Closing and the Merger Agreement representations and warranties and conditions to the Closing.

Between April 22 and April 27, 2021, the Galileo Board held five virtual and telephonic meetings, the physical location of which was the business address of Galileo, to review the final terms of the Merger Agreement and Ancillary Agreements. The second of these board meetings, held on April 23, 2021, was attended by representatives of Stifel, EGS and Galileo’s Cayman Island legal counsel, Maples Group (“Maples”). At this meeting, representatives from Maples provided the Galileo Board with an overview of the fiduciary duties of the members of the Galileo Board and the resolutions to be approved in connection with entering into the Business Combination. Representatives from Stifel also provided the Galileo Board with an overview of the current PIPE market, including volume raised and number of deals priced since January 1, 2021, a summary of the stock price performance of Shapeways’ public comparable companies since the date that Galileo and Shapeways entered into the LOI, and an overview of the PIPE marketing process, including a detailed summary of potential investor outreach and the investors that Stifel expected to participate in the PIPE Investment based on the indications received by Stifel through the meeting date.

Between April 24, 2021 and April 26, 2021, Galileo received reports from its legal counsel regarding the results of the due diligence review of Shapeways. On April 24, 2021, Galileo’s Dutch legal counsel, Houthoff, delivered to Galileo a report summarizing their due diligence review and findings relative to Shapeways, which were discussed in the following days with representatives of Galileo. Galileo also engaged Post & Schell, P.C. to perform confirmatory environmental due diligence with respect to the manufacturing facility leased by Shapeways, located at 30-02 48th Avenue in Long Island City, NY the results of which were also presented to and reviewed by the Galileo Board. EGS provided Galileo with its final due diligence report on April 26, 2021, which was reviewed and discussed with representatives of Galileo and the Galileo Board prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement.

On April 26, 2021, Galileo formally engaged Needham and Craig-Hallum to render capital markets advisory services to Galileo in relation to the proposed Business Combination. The services that Needham and Craig Hallum will provide, between signing of the Merger Agreement through the Closing, will include, but are not limited to, identifying, evaluating and contacting prospective qualified investors regarding an investment in Shapeways, assisting in the preparation of marketing materials to be used in an investor roadshow concerning Shapeways, and performing certain other appropriate and customary financial advisory services and investment banking services in connection with the transaction.

Between April 26, 2021 and April 27, 2021, the PIPE Investors entered into the Subscription Agreements committing to participate in the PIPE Investment (subject to the terms and conditions contained therein). On April 27, 2021, the Shapeways Board met to consider the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Representatives of the Shapeways management team, Stifel and Gunderson attended this meeting of the Shapeways Board. Following presentations from the Shapeways Management team and Gunderson regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby and fiduciary duties of directors when considering whether to authorize a potential business combination transaction, the Shapeways Board unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and recommended that the Shapeways stockholders consent to adopt and approve in all respects the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. During the period between April 24, 2021 and the early morning of April 28, 2021 EGS continued to provide the Galileo Board with periodic summaries of the updated material provisions of the transaction documents and due diligence findings. On the morning of April 28, 2021, the parties executed the Merger Agreement and the applicable Ancillary Agreements, and Galileo and Shapeways issued a press release announcing the transaction prior to the commencement of trading on the NYSE on April 28, 2021.

Recommendation of the Galileo Board and Reasons for the Business Combination

The Galileo Board, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with Galileo’s management and its financial and legal advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination and the issuance of shares of common stock in connection therewith, are advisable and in the best interests of Galileo and (ii) to recommend that the Galileo stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Galileo Board considered a range of factors,

155

TABLE OF CONTENTS

including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the Galileo Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The Galileo Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of Galileo’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In approving the Business Combination, the Galileo Board determined not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of Galileo have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background, together with experience and sector expertise of Galileo’s advisors, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. In addition, Galileo’s officers and directors and Galileo’s advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions.

The Galileo Board considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following material factors:

•

Large and Expanding Growth Industry: According to the Wohlers Report 2020 and estimates of Shapeways’ management, the digital manufacturing market is anticipated to grow from approximately $39 billion in 2020 to approximately $120 billion in 2030 by disrupting the massive global manufacturing market which is slow, manual and rigid. The industry is experiencing a transformation due to significant advances in production technologies, innovation in materials and the adoption of software to increase speed, lower cost and achieve higher flexibility. With its purpose-built proprietary software, which incorporates over 10 years of industry expertise and innovation, Shapeways is particularly well positioned to benefit from this industry transformation. Shapeways expects wider adoption of additive manufacturing technologies as the industry shifts from a focus on prototyping to adoption by mass manufacturers. In addition, Shapeways expects the digital manufacturing industry to benefit from strong secular tailwinds such as corporations re-shoring manufacturing activities and demand for increased supply chain flexibility. As an industry participant, Shapeways expects to benefit from these developments;

•

Growth Prospects. Shapeways has an extensive product offering and has historically demonstrated customer demand across a diverse array of industries with little account concentration. Shapeways makes industrial-grade additive manufacturing accessible by fully digitizing the end-to-end manufacturing process, and by providing a broad range of solutions utilizing 11 additive manufacturing technologies and more than 90 materials and finishes, with the ability to easily scale new innovation. Shapeways’ manufacturing “operating system” is agnostic to hardware technology and materials, which allows the Company to quickly adapt to market shifts and user needs. The Company supports a broad range of customers, ranging from individual project-focused engineers to small and large enterprises requiring high-mix production at scale;

•

Platform Supports Further Growth Initiatives. Shapeways’ platform is positioned to scale across materials, markets and technologies. Expanding additive manufacturing capabilities will enable acceleration of adoption in key markets including industrial, medical, automotive, and aerospace. As an example of this opportunity, Shapeways has signed a memorandum of understanding with Desktop Metal, a leader in additive manufacturing metal technologies, an important expansion beyond Shapeways’ current focus on polymers. Shapeways may expand into a number of global markets, including, but not limited to, Asia, which has substantial manufacturing output, leveraging its existing commercial networks and relationships and those that it expects to establish in the future. In terms of markets, Asia represents an attractive opportunity for expansion beyond the United States and Europe given the sizable annual manufacturing output from that region. Additionally, enabling manufacturers’ digital transformation provides Shapeways with a substantial market opportunity. In 2020, Shapeways began licensing a commercialized SaaS version of its proprietary software to key partners, enabling them to deploy Shapeways’ manufacturing operating system within their own organizations;

156

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Broad and Diverse Customer Base and Global Distribution. Shapeways has a broad, diversified and growing customer base with demonstrated customer demand across a variety of industries. The Company has delivered over 21 million parts to 1 million customers in over 160 countries;

•

Due Diligence. Due diligence examinations of Shapeways and discussions with Shapeways’ management team and Galileo’s legal advisors concerning Galileo’s due diligence examination of Shapeways;

•

Stockholder Liquidity. The obligation in the Merger Agreement to have Galileo common stock issued as merger consideration listed on the NYSE, a major U.S. stock exchange, which the Galileo Board believes has the potential to offer stockholders enhanced liquidity;

•

Financial Condition. The Galileo Board also considered factors such as Shapeways’ historical financial results, outlook, financial plan, debt structure and unit economics as well as mergers and acquisitions activity for companies in the additive manufacturing industry. In considering these factors, the Galileo Board reviewed Shapeways’ historical growth and its current prospects for growth if Shapeways achieves its business plan and various historical and current balance sheet items of Shapeways. In reviewing these factors, the Galileo Board noted that Shapeways will be well positioned to gain global market share and expand its manufacturing capabilities and software monetization while continuing to drive industry leading margins;

•

Experienced Management Team. Shapeways has a strong management team with significant operating experience. Greg Kress and Jennifer Walsh, CEO and Chief Financial Officer of Shapeways, respectively, joined the company three years ago and during this time have expanded the enterprise capabilities of the business, go-to-market strategy, and improved gross profit margins. The senior management of Shapeways (including Miko Levy, Chief Revenue Officer of Shapeways) intend to remain with Shapeways in the capacity of officers and/or directors, providing helpful continuity in advancing Shapeways’ strategic and growth goals;

•

Lock-Up. Certain stockholders of Shapeways (including Mr. Kress) have agreed to be subject to a 180-day lockup in respect of their Galileo common stock subject to certain customary exceptions, which will provide important stability to the leadership and governance of Shapeways;

•

PIPE Investment. Third-party investor interest in the PIPE Investment served as validation of the valuation and opportunity represented by a transaction with Shapeways;

•

Other Alternatives. The Galileo Board believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Galileo, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for Galileo and the most attractive opportunity based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets; and

•

Negotiated Transaction. The financial and other terms of the Merger Agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions are reasonable and were the product of arm’s length negotiations between Galileo and Shapeways.

The Galileo Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination including, but not limited to, the following:

•

Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects it could have on Shapeways’ revenues post-Closing;

•

Business Plan and Projections May Not Be Achieved. The risk that Shapeways may not be able to execute on the business plan, and realize the financial performance as set forth in the financial projections, in each case, presented to Galileo’s management team and board of directors;

•

Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of Galileo stockholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to Galileo’s Existing Charter, which would potentially make the Business Combination more difficult or impossible to complete;

•

Stockholder Vote. The risk that Galileo’s stockholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to effect the Business Combination;

157

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Closing Conditions. The fact that the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Galileo’s control;

•

Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing Shapeways, a private entity, for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which Shapeways will be subject as a publicly traded company on the NYSE;

•

Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risks that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•

Liquidation of Galileo. The risks and costs to Galileo if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in Galileo being unable to effect a business combination by October 22, 2021;

•

Growth Initiatives May Not be Achieved. The risk that Shapeways’ growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•

Board and Independent Committees. The risk that Shapeways’ board of directors post-Closing and independent committees do not possess adequate skills set within the context of Shapeways operating as a public company;

•

No Third-Party Valuation. The risk that Galileo did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination;

•

Galileo Stockholders Receiving a Minority Position in Shapeways. The risk that Galileo stockholders will hold a minority position in Shapeways;

•

Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination;

•

Other Risks Factors. Various other risk factors associated with the business of Shapeways, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

The above discussion of the material factors considered by the Galileo Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but does set forth the principal factors considered by the Galileo Board.

Certain Projected Financial Information

In connection with Galileo’s due diligence and consideration of the potential business combination with Shapeways, Shapeways’ management provided Galileo with Shapeways’ historical financial performance and a five-year forecast including the assumptions around a cohort revenue build-up model, which assumed no growth from new acquisitions (the “Projections”). The Projections were provided to Galileo only for use as a component in its overall evaluation of Shapeways and should not be viewed as public guidance. Furthermore, the Projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date on which the Projections were reviewed by Galileo’s management during the PIPE Investment process.

The chart below illustrates the key elements of the Projections that Shapeways’ management provided to Galileo.

($, Millions)	2019A			2020A			2021E			2022E			2023E			2024E			2025E

(1)

2021E-2025E Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the additional costs Shapeways expects to incur as a public company, such as additional legal, accounting, compliance and other similar costs.

Revenue

Shapeways’ revenue projections take into account four revenue streams: current core additive manufacturing technologies, new additive manufacturing technologies, software sales, and traditional non-additive manufacturing technologies.

Shapeways’ projections for its current core additive technologies reflect increasing revenues, as compared to the decrease from 2019 to 2020. On top of its current additive technology offerings, Shapeways plans to layer in new additive technologies, such as industrial metals, through capital expenditures, which it believes will enable it to experience a potential new revenue stream. Shapeways also plans to launch its software, which is currently only used by a small number of design partners, which could represent a third revenue stream from a new customer set. Additionally, Shapeways also plans to offer traditional manufacturing technologies, such as computer numerical control (“CNC”), injection molding, and sheet metal, to its existing additive manufacturing customers and new customers. These traditional manufacturing technologies will be offered via its software and through its supply chain, and will create the opportunity for a fourth revenue stream.

The investment in these growth levers, including continued software development, build out of sales, marketing, and other teams, and increased capital expenditures would not be possible without additional investment capital. Shapeways believes that the funds provided by the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment will allow Shapeways to drive more revenue growth in the future than it has been able to achieve in the past. Thus, while Shapeways’ revenue projections are not in line with its historic operating trends, Shapeways’ management believes they are appropriate and the assumptions underlying the projections are reasonable.

Adjusted EBITDA

Shapeways believes that its increased investment in hiring, marketing and other operating expenses will result in lower Adjusted EBITDA in the near term. However, as revenue and gross profits grow and investment in hiring and marketing operating growth slows, Shapeways believes it can achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA in the longer term. While Shapeways’ Adjusted EBITDA projections are not in line with its historic operating trends, Shapeways’ management believes these projections are appropriate in light of the capital that will be provided by the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment. Please also see the section “Shapeways’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Non-GAAP Financial Information” for more information on Adjusted EBITDA, including a definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

None of these projections or forecasts were prepared with a view towards public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC, GAAP or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial forecasts. Furthermore, the Projections and other historical financial information included herein have not been updated to reflect actual results that have been set forth in Shapeways’ audited financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Neither Galileo, Shapeways nor any of their respective affiliates intends to, and, except to the extent required by applicable law, each of them expressly disclaims any obligation to, update, revise or correct the Projections to reflect circumstances existing or arising after the date such Projections were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even if any or all of the assumptions underlying the Projections are shown to be in error or any of the Projections otherwise would not be realized.

The inclusion of financial projections in this proxy statement/ consent solicitation statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that Galileo, Shapeways, their respective directors, officers, advisors or other representatives considered, or now considers, such financial projections necessarily to be predictive of actual future results or to support or fail to support your decision whether to vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. No person has made or makes any representation or warranty to any Galileo shareholder regarding the information included in these financial projections. The Projections should not be

TABLE OF CONTENTS

viewed as public guidance and you are cautioned not to rely on the Projections in making a decision regarding the Business Combination, as the Projections may be materially different than actual results. Shapeways will not refer back to the Projections in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act. The Projections have not been audited. Neither the independent registered public accounting firms of Shapeways or Galileo nor any other independent accountants have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the Projections contained or described in this proxy statement/ consent solicitation statement/prospectus, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or their achievability, and the registered independent public accounting firms of Galileo and Shapeways assume no responsibility for the Projections.

The Projections were developed in good faith by Shapeways’ management team based on their reasonable best estimates and taking into account the following material estimates and hypothetical assumptions:

•

for the current core technology and customer set, a cohort-based sales forecast model with projected new customer sales growth between 30% and 40% annually, customer retention rates of approximately 80% annually, retained customer average order value growth of approximately 25% per year, and relatively flat average order frequency;

•

diversified market penetration into Shapeways’ new target markets: aerospace, automotive, industrial, medical;

•

the expansion of over 160 additional additive manufacturing materials and finishes through 2025;

•

the addition of approximately 3000 new software customers through 2025 at an average initial monthly spend of $2,500, growing to an average $3,800 monthly spend over time;

•

the addition of computer numerical control (CNC), injection molding, and sheet metal technologies and capabilities through 2025;

•

expected cost of goods sold ranging from $22.6 million to $74.1 million from 2021 to 2023;

•

continued increasing gross profit margin percentage from 46% in 2021 to 50% in 2023 driven by continued price optimization, software sales, technology and material mix and factory efficiencies;

•

expected capital expenditures of up to $21.5 million annually through 2023 towards new additive manufacturing technologies such as industrial metals;

•

projected customer retention and spend growth rates among various other lines of business, including customer retention rates for software of approximately 90% annually, customer retention rates in new areas of manufacturing between 65 to 85% annually, growth in revenue from software from 12.5 to 20% year over year per customer, and average order value growth from new areas of manufacturing of approximately 25 to 50% year over year; and

•

expected hiring plans of approximately 50 employees annually across Shapeways in operating expense line items and operating expenses of up to $60 million annually through 2023.

The Projections are subjective in many respects. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Projections will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. Since the Projections cover multiple years, that information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. Shapeways has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the Projections to anyone, including Galileo. Neither Shapeways’ management nor its representatives has made or makes any representations to any person regarding the ultimate performance of Shapeways relative to the Projections. The Projections are not fact nor a guarantee of actual future performance. The future financial results of Shapeways may differ materially from those expressed in the Projections due to factors beyond Shapeways’ ability to control or predict.

Comparable Company Considerations

In considering the valuation of Shapeways, the Galileo Board reviewed (i) a benchmarking analysis based on historical and consensus prospective financial results of Shapeways versus existing publicly traded companies in the Additive 2.0 Manufacturing, Legacy Digital Manufacturing, 3D Printing, Computer-aided design (“CAD”) and Manufacturing Technology sectors (each as further described below and the publicly

160

TABLE OF CONTENTS

traded companies in the Additive 2.0 Manufacturing and Legacy Digital Manufacturing sectors together, the “Primary Publicly Traded Benchmark Companies”) and (ii) a valuation analysis based on a discounted future enterprise value methodology. None of the selected companies has characteristics identical to Shapeways. The discounted future enterprise value methodology was also considered appropriate by Galileo management based on its professional judgment and expertise since Shapeways’ new products and technologies are forecasted to experience a phased path to commercialization and customer adoption. The discounted future enterprise value analysis requires applying the current market multiple of the peer group to a future revenue projection to estimate the future enterprise value of Shapeways, which can then be discounted to arrive at a present value for Shapeways.

The benchmarking analysis considered by the Galileo Board was broken down into five distinct groups of public companies which can be summarized as follows:

•

Additive 2.0 Manufacturing: These selected companies, which include, but are not limited to, Desktop Metal, Inc., MarkForged, Inc. and Velo3D, Inc., principally sell 3D printing hardware into metal additive manufacturing end markets. These companies face similar macro trends driven by end-user demand for benefits associated with additive manufacturing which include design freedom, part consolidation, weight reduction, mass customization, waste reduction, and on-demand inventory.

•

Legacy Digital Manufacturing: These selected companies, which include, but are not limited to, such as Proto Labs, Inc. and Materialise NV, principally sell software, prototyping and low volume part production services to manufacturing end markets. These companies face similar macro trends driven by end-user demand for digital manufacturing solutions. Similar to Shapeways and unlike the Additive 2.0 companies, these companies are typically material and production technology agnostic.

•

3D Printing: These selected companies, which include, but are not limited to, such as SLM Solutions Group AG, Kornit Digital Ltd., The ExOne Company, Stratasys Ltd. and 3D Systems Corporation, sell 3D printing hardware and digital manufacturing services based on legacy additive manufacturing technologies, such as fused deposition modeling, stereolithography, digital light processing, selective laser sintering, direct metal laser sintering, binder jet printing using a range of materials including plastic, nylon, metal, composite, elastomeric, wax, thermoplastics, acrylic-based photopolymers, and resins. The current commercial products sold by these companies have materially lower throughput, slower speeds, and are not focused on the mass production of end-use parts, compared to the Additive 2.0 Manufacturing companies.

•

CAD: These selected companies, which include, but are not limited to, such as Autodesk, Inc., PTC Inc., Dassault Systèmes SE and Altair Engineering Inc., provide software and cloud-based solutions for computer-aided design solutions (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), augmented reality (AR), industrial internet of things (IIOT), data analytics, and high-performance computing (HPC) to enable design and optimization for high performance, innovative, and sustainable products and processes.

•

Manufacturing Technology: These selected companies, which include, but are not limited to, such as Cognex Corporation, FARO Technologies, Inc., Renishaw plc, Teradyne, Inc. and AMETEK, Inc., are focused on solving customer’s complex challenges with differentiated technology solutions. These companies offer advanced test and automation solutions that help companies improve product quality, eliminate production errors and lower manufacturing costs so that they can improve quality and reduce cost of products.

The estimated CY2020A – 2022E revenue growth rate, estimated 2022E implied gross margin and estimated 2022E implied EBITDA margin for the Additive 2.0 Manufacturing and Legacy Digital Manufacturing companies, collectively, the “Primary Publicly Traded Benchmark Companies” are summarized in the table below. The Galileo Board considered publicly available consensus research, analysts’ estimates and other information publicly available as of April 27, 2021. In addition, all estimates were calendarized to December year-ends.

The Galileo Board viewed the aforementioned benchmarking data in conjunction with the total enterprise value/estimated revenue and Shapeways near term FY2021 to FY2022 financial forecast as the most appropriate tool to validate the total enterprise value of Shapeways. However, the Galileo Board also utilized a discounted future enterprise value methodology to contextualize the total enterprise value implied by the Business Combination. A range of future total enterprise value/revenue multiples of 5.5x – 7.5x were applied to Shapeways’ FY2025 estimated revenue of $400 million, and discounted by 4.25 years to March 31, 2021 using a mid-year convention and a 20% discount rate. The implied discounted value range of $1.0 – $1.4 billion was compared to the $410 million total enterprise value, which implies a 65% discount for the transaction

162

TABLE OF CONTENTS

value of the Business Combination. This information, in addition to the feedback from prospective PIPE Investors, relayed to Galileo by Stifel, allowed the Galileo Board to determine that the terms of the Business Combination were fair to and in the best interests of Galileo.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

The NYSE rules require that Galileo’s initial business combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of Galileo’s signing a merger agreement in connection with its initial business combination. As of April 28, 2021, the date of the execution of the Merger Agreement, the value of the net assets held in the Trust Account was approximately $134.3 million (excluding approximately $4.8 million of deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account) and 80% thereof represents approximately $107.4 million. In reaching its conclusion that the Business Combination meets the 80% asset test, the Galileo Board used as a fair market value the enterprise value of approximately $410 million, which was implied based on the terms of the transactions agreed to by the parties in negotiating the Merger Agreement and a market validation through the PIPE Investment process. The enterprise value consists of an implied equity value of approximately $605 million. In determining whether the enterprise value described above represents the fair market value of Shapeways, the Galileo Board considered all of the factors described in this section and the Merger Agreement appended to the accompanying proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex C, and the fact that the purchase price for Shapeways was the result of an arm’s length negotiation. As a result, the Galileo Board concluded that the fair market value of the business acquired was significantly in excess of 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned).

Redemption rights

In connection with any shareholder meeting called to approve a proposed initial business combination, each Public Shareholder will have the right, regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposed business combination, to demand that Galileo convert his Public Share into a pro rata share of the Trust Account upon consummation of the business combination.

Galileo may also require Public Shareholders wishing to exercise redemption rights, whether they are a record holder or hold their shares in “street name,” to either tender the certificates they are seeking to redeem to Galileo’s transfer agent or to deliver the share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms they are seeking to convert to the transfer agent electronically using DTC’s DWAC System, at the holder’s option, at any time at or prior to the vote on the business combination. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC System. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $45 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. The foregoing is different from the procedures used by traditional blank check companies. In order to perfect redemption rights in connection with their business combinations, many traditional blank check companies would distribute proxy materials for the shareholders’ vote on an initial business combination, and a holder could simply vote against a proposed business combination and check a box on the proxy card indicating such holder was seeking to exercise its redemption rights. After the business combination was approved, the company would contact such shareholder to arrange for it to deliver its certificate to verify ownership. As a result, the shareholder then had an “option window” after the consummation of the business combination during which it could monitor the price of the company’s stock in the market. If the price rose above the redemption price, it could sell its shares in the open market before actually delivering his certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the company for cancellation. As a result, the redemption rights, to which shareholders were aware they needed to commit before the shareholder meeting, would become an “option” right surviving past the consummation of the business combination until the redeeming holder delivered its certificate. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the closing of the shareholder meeting ensures that a holder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the business combination is completed.

Pursuant to its Current Charter, Galileo is required to give a minimum of only ten clear days’ notice for each general meeting. As a result, if Galileo requires Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their Ordinary

163

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shares into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account to comply with the foregoing delivery requirements, holders may not have sufficient time to receive the notice and deliver their certificates (if any) and other redemption forms for redemption. Accordingly, investors may not be able to exercise their redemption rights and may be forced to retain Galileo’s securities when they otherwise would not want to.

If Galileo requires Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their Ordinary Shares to comply with specific delivery requirements for redemption described above and such proposed business combination is not consummated, Galileo will promptly return such certificates to the tendering Public Shareholders.

Please see the risk factors titled “Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If Galileo’s shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.”

Once the shares are redeemed by the beneficial holder, and effectively redeemed by Galileo under Cayman Islands law, the transfer agent will then update Galileo’s Register of Shareholders to reflect all redemptions.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Galileo Shareholders

The following sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication to the U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Ordinary Shares; it assumes consummation of the Business Combination following Domestication. It does not address U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication or Business Combination on other Galileo Securities. The following also describes (i) the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Ordinary Shares that elect to have their Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed and (ii) the U.S. federal income tax consequences for Non-U.S. Holders of owning and disposing of Common Stock after the Domestication. For purpose of the following description relating to U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication to the U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares, the term “Company” refers to the Delaware corporation into which Galileo will be transferred by way of continuation in the Domestication and the combined company immediately following the Business Combination. The following description is the opinion of EGS. The information set forth in this section is based on the Code, its legislative history, final, temporary and proposed treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”), published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

•

a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

A “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not a U.S. Holder or a partnership or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

This description does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder based on such holder’s individual circumstances. In particular, this description considers only holders that hold Ordinary Shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This

164

TABLE OF CONTENTS

description does not address the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on net investment income, or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special rules, including:

•

financial institutions or financial services entities;

•

broker-dealers;

•

S corporations

•

persons that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules under Section 475 of the Code;

•

tax-exempt entities;

•

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

•

insurance companies;

•

regulated investment companies;

•

real estate investment trusts;

•

specified expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

•

persons that acquired Ordinary Shares pursuant to an exercise of employee options, in connection with employee incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

•

persons that hold Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, redemption or other integrated transaction;

•

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•

controlled foreign corporations;

•

passive foreign investment companies;

•

partnerships (or other entities classified as partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or partners in such partnerships or entities classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “disregarded entity”;

•

persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to Galileo Shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

•

persons who purchase stock in the Company as part of the PIPE Investment;

•

persons who actually or constructively own 5 percent or more of Ordinary Shares by vote or value (except as specifically provided below); or

•

the Sponsor or its affiliates.

This description does not address any tax laws other than the U.S. federal income tax law, such as gift or estate tax laws, state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or, except as specifically described herein, any tax reporting obligations of a holder of Ordinary Shares. Additionally, this description does not address the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or entities classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “disregarded entity” or persons who hold Ordinary Shares through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership or treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership or owner of the disregarded entity will generally depend on the status of the partner or owner and the activities of the partnership or disregarded entity. This description also assumes that any distribution made (or deemed made) on Ordinary Shares and any consideration received (or deemed received) by a holder in consideration for the sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares is made in U.S. dollars. Additionally, this description does not address the tax treatment of the Warrants in the Domestication (except as specifically described herein). Holders of Warrants should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the particular tax consequences to them of holding, exercising or disposing of the Warrants.

THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF SHARES MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS NOT DESCRIBED HEREIN AND DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR

GALILEO URGES BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF ORDINARY SHARES WHO CHOOSE TO EXERCISE THEIR CONVERSION RIGHTS OR WHO CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DOMESTICATION TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE DOMESTICATION AND OWNING AND DISPOSING OF ORDINARY SHARES AS A RESULT OF ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

U.S. Holders

Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares

The Domestication should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, due to the absence of official guidance bearing directly on how the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code apply in the case of a statutory conversion of a corporation with no active business and only investment-type assets such as Galileo, this result is not entirely free from doubt. Accordingly, due to the absence of such guidance, it is not possible to predict whether the IRS or a court considering the issue would take a contrary position.

If the Domestication qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a), except as otherwise provided below in the section entitled “PFIC Considerations,” and “Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares,” a U.S. Holder of Ordinary Shares would not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of its Ordinary Shares solely for Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Common Stock received in connection with the Domestication will generally be the same as its aggregate tax basis in the Ordinary Shares surrendered in the transaction. In addition, the holding period of Common Stock received in the Domestication generally should include the holding period of Ordinary Shares surrendered in the Domestication.

If the Domestication should fail to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a), a U.S. Holder of Ordinary Shares generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding Common Stock received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Ordinary Shares surrendered. The U.S. Holder’s basis in Common Stock would be equal to the fair market value of that stock on the date of the Domestication and such U.S. Holder’s holding period for Common Stock would begin on the day following the date of the Domestication.

PFIC Considerations

Even if the Domestication qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the Domestication may still be a taxable event to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares under the PFIC provisions of the Code, to the extent that Section 1291(f) of the Code applies, as described below.

Effect of PFIC Rules on the Domestication

Even if the Domestication qualifies as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a) of the Code, Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in regulations, a U.S. person that disposes of stock of a PFIC must recognize gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury regulations are in effect under Section 1291(f). Proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) were promulgated in 1992, with a retroactive effective date once they become finalized. If finalized in their present form, those regulations would require taxable gain recognition by a U.S. Holder with respect to its exchange of Ordinary Shares for Common Stock in the Domestication if Galileo were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Ordinary Shares. Any such gain would be treated as an “excess distribution” made in the year of the Domestication and subject to the special and complex tax and interest charge rules described below under “Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC” designed to offset the tax deferral with respect to the undistributed earnings of Galileo. The proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) should not apply to an Electing Shareholder (as defined below) with respect to its Ordinary Shares for which a timely QEF election, QEF election with a purging election, or MTM election is made, as each such election is described below.

166

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC

A non-U.S. corporation will generally be classified as a PFIC if either (a) at least seventy-five percent (75%) of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it owns or is considered to own at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares by value, is passive income (the “gross income test”) or (b) at least fifty percent (50%) of its assets in a taxable year, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it owns or is considered to own at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income (the “asset test”). Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually.

Pursuant to a “start-up exception”, a corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the corporation has gross income if (1) no predecessor of the corporation was a PFIC; (2) the corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the start-up year; and (3) the corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years. Taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances, however, there is a material risk that Galileo will not be eligible for the “start-up exception.”

If Galileo is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of Ordinary Shares and the U.S. Holder did not make either (a) a timely “qualified election fund” (QEF) election for Galileo’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Ordinary Shares, (b) a QEF election along with a “purging election,” or (c) a “mark-to-market” (MTM) election, all of which are described further below, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special rules, described in the following paragraph, with respect to any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Ordinary Shares and any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder. Excess distributions are generally any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the Ordinary Shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares.

Under these rules, the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares. The amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of Galileo’s first taxable year in which it qualified as a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder. An additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

In general, if Galileo is determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid the tax consequences described above with respect to its Ordinary Shares by making a timely QEF election (or a QEF election along with a purging election), or an MTM election, all as described below.

Impact of PFIC Rules on Certain U.S. Holders

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of Ordinary Shares will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat Galileo as a QEF, under Section 1295 of the Code, for Galileo’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder made a QEF election along with a “purging election,” or if the U.S. Holder made an MTM election, all as described below. A U.S. Holder of a PFIC that made either a timely and effective QEF election, a QEF election along with a purging election, or an MTM election is hereinafter referred to as an “Electing Shareholder.” Generally, proposed Treasury Regulations provide that neither QEF nor MTM election is available with respect to public warrants.

A U.S. Holder’s ability to make a QEF election with respect to its Ordinary Shares is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by Galileo of certain information that would enable the U.S. Holder to

167

TABLE OF CONTENTS

make and maintain a QEF election. Upon request, Galileo will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election, but there can be no assurance that Galileo will timely provide such information that is required to make and maintain the QEF election.

As indicated above, if a U.S. Holder of Ordinary Shares has not made a timely and effective QEF election with respect to Galileo’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Ordinary Shares, such U.S. Holder generally may nonetheless qualify as an Electing Shareholder by filing on a timely filed U.S. income tax return (including extensions) a QEF election and a purging election to recognize under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code any gain that it would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold its Ordinary Shares for their fair market value on the “qualification date.” The qualification date is the first day of Galileo’s tax year in which Galileo qualifies as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. The purging election can only be made if such U.S. Holder held Ordinary Shares on the qualification date. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, the U.S. Holder will increase the adjusted tax basis in its Ordinary Shares by the amount of the gain recognized and will also have a new holding period in the Ordinary Shares for purposes of the PFIC rules.

Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable shares, the U.S. Holder may make an MTM election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid MTM election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) Ordinary Shares and for which Galileo is determined to be a PFIC, such U.S. Holder will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect to its Ordinary Shares. Instead, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its Ordinary Shares. The U.S. Holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of its Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in its Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income. The MTM election is available only for shares that are regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including NYSE, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. No assurance can be given that the Ordinary Shares of Galileo are considered to be regularly traded for purposes of the MTM election or whether the other requirements of this election are satisfied. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the availability and tax consequences of an MTM election in respect to Ordinary Shares under their particular circumstances.

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the timely QEF election, the QEF election with a purging election, and the MTM election are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder of Ordinary Shares should consult its own tax advisor concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such securities under such holder’s particular circumstances.

Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares

Section 367 of the Code applies to certain non-recognition transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Section 367 of the Code imposes income tax on certain United States persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be tax-free. Section 367(b) of the Code will generally apply to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares on the date of the Domestication (including U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights).

U.S. Holders Whose Ordinary Shares Have a Fair Market Value of $50,000 or More and Who Own More Than 10 Percent of the Voting Power or Value of Galileo

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of Galileo (a “10% U.S. Shareholder”) must include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to the Ordinary Shares such U.S. Holders directly

168

TABLE OF CONTENTS

owns. A U.S. Holder’s ownership of Warrants will be taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of Galileo. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of Galileo and all U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these attribution rules.

A 10% U.S. Shareholder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its Ordinary Shares is the net positive earnings and profits of Galileo attributable to its shares (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2) but without regard to any gain that would be realized on a sale or exchange of such shares.

U.S. Holders Whose Ordinary Shares Have a Fair Market Value of $50,000 or More But Who Own Less Than 10 Percent of the Voting Power and Value of Galileo

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) Ordinary Shares with a fair market value of $50,000 or more but owns less than 10% of the total combined voting power and value of Galileo will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the Domestication unless such U.S. Holder elects to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such holder as described below.

Unless such a U.S. Holder makes the “all earnings and profits” election as described below, such holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to Common Stock received in the Domestication in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of Common Stock received over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares deemed surrendered in the Domestication.

As an alternative to recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, such a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to its Ordinary Shares under Section 367(b) of the Code. There are, however, strict conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury Regulations and generally must include, among other things:

(i)

a statement that the Domestication is a Section 367(b) exchange (within the meaning of the applicable Treasury Regulations);

(ii)

a complete description of the Domestication;

(iii)

a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Domestication;

(iv)

a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(v)

a statement that the U.S. Holder is making the election and that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. Holder received from Galileo establishing and substantiating the “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to the U.S. Holder’s Ordinary Shares, and (B) a representation that the U.S. Holder has notified Galileo that the U.S. Holder is making the election; and

(vi)

certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. Holder’s tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

In addition, the election must be attached by an electing U.S. Holder to such holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the Domestication occurs, and the U.S. Holder must send notice of making the election to Galileo no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, Galileo may in its discretion provide each U.S. Holder eligible to make such an election with information regarding Galileo’s earnings and profits upon request. Galileo does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits, if any, on the date of the Domestication.

U.S. HOLDERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING THE DESCRIBED ELECTION AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ELECTION.

C. U.S. Holders that Own Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value of Less Than $50,000

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (directly, indirectly, or constructively) Ordinary Shares with a fair market value less than $50,000 should not be required to recognize any gain or loss under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication and generally should not be required to include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income.

All U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the effect of Section 367 of the Code to their particular circumstances.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Redemption

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Have Their Ordinary Shares Converted for Cash

This section makes references to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares that elect to have their Ordinary Shares “converted” for cash. For purposes of this description, “conversion” refers to the process of requesting that a holder’s Ordinary Shares be redeemed for cash in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter and with applicable Cayman Islands law.

This section is addressed to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares that elect to have their Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash and is subject in its entirety to the description of the “passive foreign investment company” or “PFIC” rules as described above under the section entitled “Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Galileo Shares — U.S. Holders — PFIC Considerations.” For purposes of this description, a “Converting U.S. Holder” is a U.S. Holder that so converts its Ordinary Shares into cash.

Except as described in the following paragraph and as described in the PFIC rules above, a Converting U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received on the conversion and such shareholder’s adjusted basis in the Ordinary Shares exchanged if the conversion completely terminates the Converting U.S. Holder’s interest in Galileo (taking into account certain constructive ownership rules). A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Ordinary Shares will generally be equal to the cost of such Ordinary Shares. A U.S. Holder who purchased Ordinary Shares in the IPO generally will have a tax basis in the Ordinary Shares that were part of the units equal to the portion of the purchase price of such units allocated to the Ordinary Shares (such allocation based on the relative fair market value of the Ordinary Shares and the Warrants at the time). This gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of such stock is more than one year at the time of the exchange. It is possible that because of the conversion rights associated with the Ordinary Shares, the holding period of such shares may not be considered to begin until the date of such conversion (and thus it is possible that long-term capital gain or loss treatment may not apply). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Ordinary Shares (generally, shares of Galileo purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

Cash received upon conversion that does not completely terminate the Converting U.S. Holder’s interest will still give rise to capital gain or loss, if the conversion is either (i) “substantially disproportionate” or (ii) “not essentially equivalent to a dividend.” In determining whether the conversion is substantially disproportionate or not essentially equivalent to a dividend with respect to a Converting U.S. Holder, that Converting U.S. Holder is deemed to own not only shares actually owned, but also, in some cases, shares such holder may acquire pursuant to options (including shares that may be acquired pursuant to the Warrants) and shares owned by certain family members, certain estates and trusts of which the Converting U.S. Holder is a beneficiary and certain corporations and partnerships.

Generally, the conversion will be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the Converting U.S. Holder if (i) the Converting U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership of the outstanding voting shares (including all classes that carry voting rights) of Galileo is reduced immediately after the conversion to less than 80% of the Converting U.S. Holder’s percentage interest (including constructive ownership) in such shares immediately before the conversion; (ii) the Converting U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (both voting and nonvoting) immediately after the conversion is reduced to less than 80% of such percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) immediately before the conversion; and (iii) the Converting U.S. Holder owns (including constructive ownership), immediately after the conversion, less than

170

TABLE OF CONTENTS

50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of Galileo entitled to vote. Whether the conversion will be considered “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to a Converting U.S. Shareholder will depend upon the particular circumstances of that U.S. Holder. At a minimum, however, the conversion must result in a meaningful reduction in the Converting U.S. Holder’s actual or constructive percentage ownership of Galileo. If the shareholder’s relative interest in the corporation is minimal and the shareholder does not have meaningful control over the corporation, and taking into account the effect of Redemptions by other shareholder’s, its percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) is reduced as a result of the Redemption, such U.S. Holder should generally be regarded as having a meaningful reduction in its interest. For example, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences to it of any Redemption of its Ordinary Shares.

If none of the tests described above is satisfied and subject to the PFIC rules described above, the consideration paid to the Converting U.S. Holder will be treated as dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of Galileo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. Any distribution in excess of earnings and profits will reduce the Converting U.S. Holder’s basis in the Ordinary Shares (but not below zero) and any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Ordinary Shares. U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares considering exercising their conversion rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the conversion will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF A REDEMPTION OF ALL OR A PORTION OF THEIR ORDINARY SHARES PURSUANT TO AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of the U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights will take into account the potential tax consequences of Section 367(b) of the Code as a result of the Domestication (discussed further above).

Non-U.S. Holders

Tax Consequences for Non-U.S. Holders of Owning and Disposing of Common Stock

Distributions on Common Stock

Distributions of cash or property to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect of Common Stock received in the Domestication will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from Galileo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax law. If a distribution exceeds Galileo’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated and taxed as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “— Gain on Disposition of Common Stock.”

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of Common Stock generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate, unless such Non-U.S. Holders is eligible for such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the Non-U.S. Holder) are not subject to such withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends are subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a United States person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder of Common Stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as described below, for dividends will be required (a) to complete the applicable IRS Form W-8 and certify under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if Common Stock are held through certain foreign

171

TABLE OF CONTENTS

intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable Treasury Regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain Non-U.S. Holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

A Non-U.S. Holder of Common Stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim or refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to the benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

Gain on Disposition of Common Stock

Subject to the description of backup withholding below, any gain realized by a Non-U.S. Holder on the taxable disposition of Common Stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

•

the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment of the non-U.S. Holder);

•

the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition (subject to certain exceptions), and certain other conditions are met; or

•

The Company is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such securities disposed of, and, generally, in the case where shares of Common Stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of such Shares, as applicable, at any time during the shorter of the five year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Shares disposed of. There can be no assurance that shares of Common Stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

An individual Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point immediately above will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. An individual Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by United States source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States, provided that the individual has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. If a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation falls under the first bullet point immediately above, it will be subject to tax on its net gain in the same manner as if it were a United States person as defined under the Code and, in addition, may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to adjustments.

The Company does not believe it is and does not anticipate becoming a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, the determination as to whether the Company is or will become a “United States real property holding corporation” will not be made until a future tax year, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not become such a corporation in the future.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders That Elect to Have Their Ordinary Shares Converted for Cash

This section is addressed to Non-U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares that elect to have their Ordinary Shares converted for cash. For purposes of this section of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, “conversion” of shares for cash means the process of exercising a holder’s right to redeem its shares for cash as further described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. For purposes of this description, a “Converting Non-U.S. Holder” is a Non-U.S. Holder that so converts its Ordinary Shares.

Except as otherwise described in this section, a Converting Non-U.S. Holder who elects to have its Ordinary Shares converted for cash will generally be treated in the same manner as a Converting U.S. Holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See the description above under “— U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Have Their Ordinary Shares Converted for Cash.”

172

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A Converting Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized as a result of the exchange unless:

•

such Converting Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the Redemption takes place and certain other conditions are met; or

•

such Converting Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States and any gain recognized in the exchange is treated as effectively connected with such trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a United States permanent establishment of such Non-U.S. Holder), in which case the Converting Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to the same treatment as a Converting U.S. Holder with respect to the exchange, and a Converting Non-U.S. Holder that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

With respect to any Redemption of Ordinary Shares for cash that is treated as a distribution rather than a sale, any amount treated as dividend income to a Converting Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless the Converting Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends received by a Converting Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, such dividends are attributable to a United States permanent establishment of the Converting Non-U.S. Holder), will be taxed as described above under “— U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Have Their Ordinary Shares Converted for Cash.” In addition, dividends received by a Converting Non-U.S. Holder that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that are effectively connected with the holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

Converting Non-U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the Redemption of their shares will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

This section makes references to holders of Ordinary Shares that elect to have their Ordinary Shares “converted” for cash as described in the section entitled “Meeting of Galileo Shareholders — redemption rights.” For purposes of this description, “conversion” refers to the process of requesting that a holder’s Ordinary Shares be redeemed for cash in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter and with applicable Cayman Islands law.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Galileo must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding for dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale of Common Stock within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

173

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of securities (including Common Stock) which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which shares of Common Stock are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of Common Stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners”, which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. All holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their ownership of Common Stock.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP as Shapeways has been determined to be the accounting acquirer, primarily due to the fact that Shapeways Stockholders will continue to control the Combined Company. Under this method of accounting, while Galileo is the legal acquirer, it will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Shapeways issuing stock for the net assets of Galileo, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Galileo will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of Shapeways in future reports of the Combined Company.

Regulatory Matters

The Business Combination and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, (i) except for filings with the Cayman Islands and Delaware necessary to effectuate the Domestication, and (ii) the Business Combination and filings required of solicitation materials pursuant to Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act.

Appraisal Rights

Shareholders of Galileo do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or under the DGCL.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that Galileo’s entry into the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the issuance of the consideration thereunder, and the performance by Galileo of its obligations thereunder thereby be ratified, approved, adopted and confirmed in all respects.”

174

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Required Vote for Approval

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the Proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If any of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal or the Director Appointment Proposal fails to receive the required shareholder approval, the Business Combination will not be completed.

Recommendation of the Galileo Board with Respect to the Business Combination Proposal

THE GALILEO BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE GALILEO
SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS
COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 3: THE CHARTER PROPOSAL

Overview

In connection with the Business Combination, Galileo is asking Galileo’s shareholders to consider and vote upon and to approve a Proposal to replace the Current Charter with the Proposed Charter, substantially in the form attached to this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex A, to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The Charter Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal. Therefore, if either of the Business Combination Proposal or the Domestication Proposal is not approved, then the Charter Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by Galileo’s shareholders. The Charter Proposal is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Organizational Documents Proposals.

consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex A, in respect of the Meeting, to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination.”

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT GALILEO’S SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE CHARTER PROPOSAL.

PROPOSALS 4 – 9: THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS

Overview

As required by SEC guidance requiring that stockholders have the opportunity to present their views on important corporate governance provisions, Galileo is requesting that Galileo’s shareholders vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, Proposals to approve certain governance provisions in the Proposed Charter, which are separately being presented. These separate votes are not otherwise required by Delaware law separate and apart from the Charter Proposal. Accordingly, the stockholder votes regarding the Organizational Documents Proposals are advisory votes, and are not binding on Galileo or Galileo’s Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Charter Proposal). Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Organizational Documents Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Charter Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on the Organizational Documents Proposals, Galileo intends that the Proposed Charter will take effect upon the Closing (assuming approval of the Charter Proposal).

Organizational Documents Proposal 4

Galileo’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2∕3% of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote to remove a director for cause. This Proposal is referred to as “Organizational Documents Proposal 4.”

Organizational Documents Proposal 5

Galileo’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter providing that (i) special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the majority of the Company Board, the Chairman of the Company Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and may not be called by another other person or persons and (ii) any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders called in accordance with the Bylaws and may not be effected by written consent in lieu of a meeting. This Proposal is referred to as “Organizational Documents Proposal 5.”

Organizational Documents Proposal 6

Galileo’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter to authorize adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain shareholder litigation. This Proposal is referred to as “Organizational Documents Proposal 6.”

Organizational Documents Proposal 7

Galileo’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter changing the post-Business Combination company’s corporate name from “Galileo Acquisition Corp.” to “Shapeways Holdings, Inc.” This Proposal is referred to as “Organizational Documents Proposal 7.”

181

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Organizational Documents Proposal 8

Galileo’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter to remove certain provisions related to Galileo’s status as a blank check company that will no longer apply upon consummation of the Business Combination. This Proposal is referred to as “Organizational Documents Proposal 8.”

Organizational Documents Proposal 9

Galileo’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter increasing the total number of authorized shares of all classes of stock to 130,000,000 shares, each with a par value of $.0001 per share, consisting of (i) 120,000,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. This Proposal is referred to as “Organizational Documents Proposal 9.”

Reasons for the Approvals of the Organizational Documents Proposals

Director Removal

The Proposed Charter both provide for a classified board of directors, such that only a specified portion of the directors is to be elected each year. Under the DGCL, unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, directors on a classified board may be removed only for cause. Galileo’s Board believes that such a standard will, in conjunction with the classified nature of the Company Board (i) increase board continuity and the likelihood that experienced board members with familiarity of the Company’s business operations would serve on the board at any given time and (ii) make it more difficult for a potential acquiror or other person, group or entity to gain control of the Company Board.

Calling of Stockholder Meetings; Stockholder Action by Written Consent

The Galileo Board believes that meetings of stockholders should be called by the Company Board or Chief Executive Officer to make it more difficult for a potential acquirer or other person, group or entity to gain control of the Company Board. The Galileo Board further believes that each decision of the stockholders should be made by all stockholders and only after thoughtful consideration of complete information. Information will be provided to stockholders through a proxy statement, and the period between delivery of the proxy statement and the stockholder meeting provides time for consideration of stockholder Proposals. The Galileo Board believes that all stockholders, not just stockholders executing a written consent, should have the opportunity to participate in the decision-making process. This allows minority stockholders to take whatever action they deem appropriate to protect their interests, including seeking to persuade majority stockholders to follow a different course, or selling their shares.

Exclusive Forum

The Proposed Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Combined Company to the Combined Company or the Combined Company’ stockholders, (ii) any action asserting a claim against the Combined Company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Charter or the Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Combined Company, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. In addition, if an action is brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel.

The Proposed Charter provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing choice of forum provision.

The Proposed Charter provides further that unless the Combined Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall, to the fullest extent

182

TABLE OF CONTENTS

permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. The clauses described above will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Corporate Name

Galileo’s Board believes that changing the post-business combination corporate name from “Galileo Acquisition Corp.” to “Shapeways Holdings, Inc.” is desirable to reflect the Business Combination and to clearly identify the Company as the publicly traded entity.

Blank Check Company

Galileo’s Board has determined it is in the best interest of the Company to eliminate provisions, including the specific provisions highlighted as being removed in the Charter Proposal, specific to Galileo’s status as a blank check company. This elimination is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following consummation of the Business Combination.

Authorized Capital Stock

Galileo’s Board believes that it is important for the Company to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of Common Stock and preferred stock sufficient to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination, to support the Company’s growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs (including, if needed, as part of financing for future growth acquisitions).

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, on an advisory and non-binding basis, to approve each of the following Proposals (Organizational Documents Proposals 4 – 9):

Organizational Documents Proposal 4

To approve and adopt provisions in the Proposed Charter, which will amend and replace the Current Charter if the Charter Proposal is approved, requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662∕3% of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote to remove a director for cause. (This Proposal is referred to as “Organizational Documents Proposal 4”);

Organizational Documents Proposal 5

To approve and adopt provisions in the Proposed Charter, which will amend and replace the Current Charter if the Charter Proposal is approved, providing that that (i) special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the majority of the Company Board, the Chairman of the Company Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and may not be called by another other person or persons and (ii) any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders called in accordance with the Bylaws and may not be effected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

name from “Galileo Acquisition Corp.” to “Shapeways Holdings, Inc.” (This Proposal is referred to as “Organizational Documents Proposal 7”);

Organizational Documents Proposal 8

Required Vote for Approval

The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposals requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the Proposal.

As discussed above, the Organizational Documents Proposals are advisory votes and therefore are not binding on Galileo or Galileo’s Board. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Organizational Documents Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Charter Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory votes on the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Company intends that the Proposed Charter will take effect upon consummation of the Business Combination (assuming approval of the Charter Proposal).

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT GALILEO’S SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS.

PROPOSAL 10: THE SHARE ESCROW AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Background and Overview

Galileo’s shareholders are also being asked to approve an amendment to the Share Escrow Agreement entered into at the time of the IPO by Galileo, the Sponsor and the escrow agent thereunder to revise the lock-up period under the Share Escrow Agreement to match the lock-up period reflected in the Lock-Up Agreements with certain stockholders of Shapeways entered into simultaneously with the Merger Agreement in connection with the Business Combination.

The Sponsor purchased 3,450,000 Founder Shares in a private placement prior to the IPO of Galileo. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis upon consummation of the Business Combination. As a condition to the IPO, the Sponsor, Galileo and Escrow Agent entered into the Share Escrow Agreement on October 17, 2019 pursuant to which the Founder Shares were placed into an escrow account and would be released from escrow only if specified conditions were met. In particular, subject to certain limited exceptions, all Founder Shares would be held in escrow (i) for 50% of the Founder Shares, the date ending on the earlier of (x) six months after the date of the consummation of Galileo’s initial business combination and (y) the date on which the closing price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after

184

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Galileo’s initial business combination and (ii) for the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, ending one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination.

In order to induce Shapeways to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor agreed to cancel 20% of the Founder Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Forfeited Sponsor Shares”). Pursuant to the Share Escrow Amendment, the parties agreed that the escrow period with respect to the Founder Shares other than the Forfeited Sponsor Shares (the “Released Sponsor Shares”) would match the lock-up period reflected in the Lock-Up Agreements and would commence upon the Closing and end 180 days after the Closing (subject to early release if Shapeways consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party.

The Escrow Agent has agreed to enter into the Share Escrow Amendment.

Why Galileo Needs Shareholder Approval

As the Share Escrow Agreement was a condition to the IPO, Galileo is seeking shareholder approval to enter into and consummate the Share Escrow Amendment to facilitate the consummation of the Business Combination.

Effect of Proposal

The Share Escrow Agreement Amendment will have an impact on the Sponsor’s ownership of the securities of the combined entity following the Business Combination in a number of ways, including the Release Sponsor Shares being subject to a lock-up period of 180 days after the Closing (subject to early release if Shapeways consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party).

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, to approve an amendment to the Share Escrow Agreement in the form appended to the joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex D.

Required Vote for Approval

The approval of the escrow amendment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting.

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT OUR SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE SHARE ESCROW AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 11: THE NYSE PROPOSAL

Overview

The NYSE Proposal — to consider and vote upon a Proposal to approve by ordinary resolution for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of the NYSE Listing Rule 312.03, the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment, to the extent such issuance would require shareholder approval under NYSE Listing Rule 312.03.

Reasons for the Approval for Purposes of NYSE Listing Rule 312.03

Pursuant to NYSE Listing Rule 312.03(c), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in any transaction or series of related transactions if: (1) the common stock has, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20 percent of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such stock or of securities

185

TABLE OF CONTENTS

convertible into or exercisable for common stock; or (2) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20 percent of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the common stock or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock. Additionally, under NYSE Listing Rule 312.03(d), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the registrant. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Galileo expects to issue, in the aggregate, an estimated 41,462,838 shares of the Common Stock to the Shapeways Stockholders and the PIPE Investors, collectively, in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment (excluding, for this purpose, additional securities issuable to holders of Shapeways Options and Shapeways Warrants and the additional shares of Common Stock that will, upon Closing, be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan). For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration and Earnout.”

Accordingly, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that Galileo will issue in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment will exceed 20% of both the voting power and the shares of Common Stock outstanding before such issuance and may result in a change of control of the registrant under NYSE Listing Rule 312.03(d), and for these reasons, Galileo is seeking the approval of Galileo shareholders for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment. For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration and Earnout.” In addition, in the future, the Company will issue additional Common Shares upon exercise of options to purchase Common Stock that will be granted to holders of Shapeways Options, and upon exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock that will be granted to holders of Shapeways Warrants, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and as further described in this joint proxy statement/written consent solicitation/prospectus. There will also be granted at the Closing restricted stock units denominated in Common Stock and there will be shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (assuming the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal by the Galileo shareholders). For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — Merger Consideration and Earnout,” and “Incentive Plan Proposal.”

Effect of the Proposal on Current Shareholders

In the event that this Proposal is not approved by Galileo shareholders, the Business Combination cannot be consummated. In the event that this Proposal is approved by Galileo shareholders, but the Merger Agreement is terminated (without the Business Combination being consummated) prior to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will not issue such shares of Common Stock.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of NYSE Listing Rule 312.03, the issuance of 41,462,838 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the PIPE Investment, including to Shapeways Stockholders and the PIPE Investors, be approved.”

Required Vote for Approval

The approval of the NYSE Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the Proposal.

The NYSE Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Share Escrow Amendment Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Director Appointment Proposal.

186

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Recommendation of the Galileo Board

THE GALILEO BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT GALILEO SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE NYSE PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Galileo’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she, or they may believe is in the best interests of Galileo and Galileo shareholders and what he, she, or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. In addition, Galileo’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Galileo’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

PROPOSAL 12 — THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

General

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Galileo Board is expected to approve and adopt, subject to Galileo shareholder approval, the Incentive Plan. If the Incentive Plan is approved by the shareholders, the Combined Company will be authorized to grant equity awards to eligible service providers following consummation of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Date”). The form of the Incentive Plan is attached to this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex E. The Galileo Board is still in the process of developing, approving and implementing the Incentive Plan and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Incentive Plan will be implemented or will contain the terms described below. Galileo’s shareholders are being asked to approve the Incentive Plan as presented.

Purpose of the Incentive Plan Proposal

The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Combined Company and the creation of shareholder value by encouraging service providers to focus on critical long-range corporate objectives and linking service providers directly to shareholder interests through increased stock ownership. Galileo believes that the Incentive Plan will be important in helping to attract and retain service providers of the Combined Company with exceptional qualifications.

Reasons for the Approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal

Shareholder approval of the Incentive Plan is necessary in order for the Combined Company to (a) meet the shareholder approval requirements of the NYSE and (b) grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”). Shareholders are also being asked to approve an annual limitation on Incentive Plan awards paid to non-employee directors.

Consequences if the Incentive Plan Proposal is Not Approved

If the Incentive Plan is not approved by Galileo’s shareholders, the Incentive Plan will not become effective and the Combined Company will not be able to grant equity awards under the Incentive Plan. Galileo believes that the Combined Company’s ability to recruit, retain and incentivize top talent will be adversely affected if the Incentive Plan is not approved.

Material Terms of the Incentive Plan

The material terms of the Incentive Plan, as currently contemplated by Galileo’s Board, are summarized below. This summary, however, is not intended to be a complete description of the Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Incentive Plan, the form of which is attached to this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex E. To the extent there is a conflict between the terms of this summary and the Incentive Plan, the terms of the Incentive Plan will control. As noted above, the Galileo Board is in the process of developing, approving and implementing the Incentive Plan and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Incentive Plan will be implemented or will contain

187

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the terms described below. Accordingly, this summary is subject to change. Galileo’s shareholders are being asked to approve the Incentive Plan as presented.

Administration. The Incentive Plan will be administered by the Combined Company’s Board or by one or more committees to which the board of directors delegates such administration (as applicable, the “Incentive Plan Administrator”). Subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan, the Incentive Plan Administrator will have the authority to (a) determine the eligible individuals who are to receive awards under the Incentive Plan, (b) determine the terms and conditions of awards granted under the Incentive Plan, (c) determine performance criteria and the achievement of such criteria, (d) accelerate the vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on, awards and (e) make all other decisions related to the Incentive Plan and awards granted thereunder. The Incentive Plan Administrator may also delegate to one or more senior officers of the Combined Company the authority to grant awards, subject to terms and conditions determined by the Incentive Plan Administrator and within the limitations of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Types of Awards. The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, which may be ISOs or nonstatutory stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other cash-based, equity-based or equity-related awards that the Incentive Plan Administrator determines are consistent with the purpose of the Incentive Plan and the interests of the Combined Company, or collectively, awards.

Share Reserve. The number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock that may be issued under the Incentive Plan is equal to the sum of (x) 15% of the aggregate number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing (as calculated after giving effect to the Redemption), plus (y) the number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock that are subject to Purchaser Earnout RSUs (as defined below) and Transaction Bonus RSUs (as defined below) plus (z) the annual increase in shares described below. All of the shares available under the Incentive Plan (before giving effect to the annual increases) may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs.

On the first day of each calendar year during the term of the Incentive Plan, beginning on January 1, 2022 and continuing until (and including) January 1, 2031, the number of shares available under the Incentive Plan will automatically increase by a number equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding shares on December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the date of such increase and (b) a number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock determined by the Combined Company’s Board.

If options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units or any other awards are forfeited, cancelled or expire before being exercised or settled in full, the shares subject to such awards will again be available for issuance under the Incentive Plan. If stock appreciation rights are exercised or restricted stock units are settled, only the number of shares actually issued upon exercise or settlement of such awards will reduce the number of shares available under the Incentive Plan. If restricted shares or shares issued upon exercise of an option are reacquired by the Combined Company pursuant to a forfeiture provision, repurchase right or for any other reason, then such shares will again be available for issuance under the Incentive Plan. Shares applied to pay the exercise price of an option or satisfy withholding taxes related to any award will again become available for issuance under the Incentive Plan. To the extent an award is settled in cash, the cash settlement will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan.

Shares issued under the Incentive Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. As of the date hereof, no awards have been granted under the Incentive Plan.

Annual Limitation on Compensation of Non-Employee Directors. The grant date fair value of awards granted to each non-employee director during any fiscal year of the Combined Company may not exceed $500,000 (on a per-director basis). This limit is increased to $750,000 in the fiscal year a non-employee director is initially appointed or elected to the Combined Company’s Board. The Combined Company’s Board may make exceptions to such limit for a non-employee chairperson or, in extraordinary circumstances, for other non-employee directors, provided the non-employee director receiving such additional compensation does not participate in the decision to award such compensation. Compensation paid to an individual for services as an employee or consultant and awards granted in lieu of cash retainers or other fees will not count towards these limitations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Eligibility. Employees (including officers), non-employee directors and consultants who render services to the Combined Company or a parent, subsidiary or affiliate thereof (whether now existing or subsequently established) are eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Plan. ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Combined Company or a parent or subsidiary thereof (whether now existing or subsequently established). As of and assuming closing of the Business Combination, approximately 165 employees, including 3 executive officers (one of which is an employee director), 5 non-employee directors, and no consultants would be eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan.

International Participation. The Incentive Plan Administrator has the authority to implement sub-plans (or otherwise modify applicable grant terms) for purposes of satisfying applicable foreign laws, conforming to applicable market practices or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws, and the terms and conditions applicable to awards granted under any such sub-plan or modified award may differ from the terms of the Incentive Plan. Any shares issued in satisfaction of awards granted under a sub-plan will come from the Incentive Plan share reserve.

Repricing. The Incentive Plan Administrator has full authority to reprice (reduce the exercise price of) options and stock appreciation rights or to approve programs in which options and stock appreciation rights are exchanged for cash or other equity awards on terms the Incentive Plan Administrator determines.

Stock Options. A stock option is the right to purchase a certain number of shares of stock at a fixed exercise price which, pursuant to the Incentive Plan, may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Combined Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Subject to limited exceptions, an option may have a term of up to 10 years and will generally expire sooner if the optionee’s service terminates. Options will vest at the rate determined by the Incentive Plan Administrator. An optionee may pay the exercise price of an option in cash, or, with the administrator’s consent, with shares of stock the optionee already owns, with proceeds from an immediate sale of the option shares through a broker approved by us, through a net exercise procedure or by any other method permitted by applicable law.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock appreciation right provides the recipient with the right to the appreciation in a specified number of shares of stock. The Incentive Plan Administrator determines the exercise price of stock appreciation rights granted under the Incentive Plan, which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Combined Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Subject to limited exceptions, a stock appreciation right may have a term of up to 10 years and will generally expire sooner if the recipient’s service terminates. SARs will vest at the rate determined by the Incentive Plan Administrator. Upon exercise of a SAR, the recipient will receive an amount in cash, stock, or a combination of stock and cash determined by the Incentive Plan Administrator, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares being exercised over their exercise price.

Tax Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of the Combined Company’s Common Stock with respect to ISOs that are exercisable for the first time by an option holder during any calendar year under all of the Combined Company’s stock plans may not exceed $100,000. Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit will generally be treated as NSOs. No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the Combined Company’s total combined voting power or that of any of the Combined Company’s affiliates unless (a) the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant and (b) the term of the ISO does not exceed five years from the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Awards. Shares of restricted stock may be issued under the Incentive Plan for such consideration as the Incentive Plan Administrator may determine, including cash, services rendered or to be rendered to the Combined Company, promissory notes or such other forms of consideration permitted under applicable law. Restricted shares may be subject to vesting, as determined by the Incentive Plan Administrator. Recipients of restricted shares generally have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to those shares, including voting rights, however any dividends and other distributions on restricted shares will generally be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the underlying shares.

Restricted Stock Units. A restricted stock unit is a right to receive a share, at no cost to the recipient, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including vesting conditions, established by the Incentive

189

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Plan Administrator. RSUs vest at the rate determined by the Incentive Plan Administrator and any unvested RSUs will generally be forfeited upon termination of the recipient’s service. Settlement of restricted stock units may be made in the form of cash, stock or a combination of cash and stock, as determined by the Incentive Plan Administrator. Recipients of restricted stock units generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time the vesting conditions are satisfied and the award is settled. At the Incentive Plan Administrator’s discretion and as set forth in the applicable restricted stock unit agreement, restricted stock units may provide for the right to dividend equivalents which will generally be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the restricted stock units to which they pertain.

Other Awards. The Incentive Plan Administrator may grant other awards based in whole or in part by reference to the Combined Company’s Common Stock and may grant awards under other plans and programs that will be settled with shares issued under the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of any such awards.

Changes to Capital Structure. In the event of certain changes in capitalization, including a stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend, proportionate adjustments will be made in the number and kind of shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan, the limit on the number of shares that may be issued under the Incentive Plan as ISOs, the number and kind of shares subject to each outstanding award and/or the exercise price of each outstanding award.

Corporate Transactions. If the Combined Company is party to a merger, consolidation or certain change in control transactions, each outstanding award will be treated as described in the definitive transaction agreement or as the Incentive Plan Administrator determines, which may include the continuation, assumption or substitution of an outstanding award, the cancellation of an outstanding award after an opportunity to exercise or the cancellation of an outstanding award in exchange for a payment equal to the value of the shares subject to such award less any applicable exercise price. In general, if an award held by a participant who remains in service at the effective time of a change in control transaction is not continued, assumed or substituted, then the award will vest in full, and for awards subject to one or more performance-based vesting conditions that have not yet been satisfied, such performance-based vesting conditions shall be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels.

Change of Control. The Incentive Plan Administrator may provide, in an individual award agreement or in any other written agreement with a participant, that the award will be subject to acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the event of a change of control or in connection with a termination of employment in connection with or following a change in control.

Transferability of Awards. Unless the Incentive Plan Administrator determines otherwise, an award generally will not be transferable other than by beneficiary designation, a will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Incentive Plan Administrator may permit transfer of an award in a manner consistent with applicable law.

Amendment and Termination. The Incentive Plan Administrator may amend or terminate the Incentive Plan at any time. Any such amendment or termination will not affect outstanding awards. If not sooner terminated, the Incentive Plan will terminate automatically 10 years after its adoption by the Galileo Board. Shareholder approval is not required for any amendment of the Incentive Plan, unless required by applicable law, government regulation or exchange listing standards.

Certain Federal Income Tax Aspects of Awards Under the Incentive Plan

This is a brief summary of the U.S. federal income tax aspects of awards that may be made under the Incentive Plan based on existing U.S. federal income tax laws as of the date of this this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. This summary covers only the basic tax rules. It does not describe a number of special tax rules, including the alternative minimum tax and various elections that may be applicable under certain circumstances. It also does not reflect provisions of the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which a holder may reside, nor does it reflect the tax consequences of a holder’s death. Therefore, no one should rely on this summary for individual tax compliance, planning or decisions. Participants in the Incentive Plan should consult their own professional tax advisors concerning tax aspects of awards under the Incentive Plan. The discussion below concerning tax deductions that may become available

190

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to the Combined Company under U.S. federal tax law is not intended to imply that the Combined Company will necessarily obtain a tax benefit or asset from those deductions. The tax consequences of awards under the Incentive Plan depend upon the type of award. Changes to tax laws following the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus could alter the tax consequences described below.

Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is recognized by an optionee upon the grant or vesting of an ISO, and no taxable income is recognized at the time an ISO is exercised unless the optionee is subject to the alternative minimum tax. The excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over the exercise price paid for the shares is includable in alternative minimum taxable income.

If the optionee holds the purchased shares for more than one year after the date the ISO was exercised and more than two years after the ISO was granted (the “required ISO holding periods”), then the optionee will generally recognize long-term capital gain or loss upon disposition of such shares. The gain or loss will equal the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition of the shares and the exercise price paid for such shares. If the optionee disposes of the purchased shares before satisfying either of the required ISO holding periods, then the optionee will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the ISO was exercised over the exercise price paid for the shares (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares). Any additional gain will be a capital gain and will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain depending on how long the shares were held by the optionee.

Nonstatutory Stock Options. No taxable income is recognized by an optionee upon the grant or vesting of an NSO, provided the NSO does not have a readily ascertainable fair market value. If the NSO does not have a readily ascertainable fair market value, the optionee will generally recognize ordinary income in the year in which the option is exercised equal to the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over the exercise price paid for the shares. If the optionee is an employee or former employee, the optionee will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income. Upon resale of the purchased shares, any subsequent appreciation or depreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the shares were held by the optionee.

Restricted Stock. A participant who receives an award of restricted stock generally does not recognize taxable income at the time of the award. Instead, the participant recognizes ordinary income when the shares vest, subject to withholding if the participant is an employee or former employee. The amount of taxable income is equal to the fair market value of the shares on the vesting date(s) less the amount, if any, paid for the shares. Alternatively, a participant may make a one-time election to recognize income at the time the participant receives restricted stock in an amount equal to the fair market value of the restricted stock (less any amount paid for the shares) on the date of the award by making an election under Section 83(b) of the Code.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards. In general, no taxable income results upon the grant of an RSU. The recipient will generally recognize ordinary income, subject to withholding if the recipient is an employee or former employee, equal to the fair market value of the shares that are delivered to the recipient upon settlement of the RSU. Upon resale of the shares acquired pursuant to an RSU, any subsequent appreciation or depreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the shares were held by the recipient.

Stock Appreciation Rights. In general, no taxable income results upon the grant of a SAR. A participant will generally recognize ordinary income in the year of exercise equal to the value of the shares or other consideration received. In the case of a current or former employee, this amount is subject to withholding.

Section 409A. The foregoing description assumes that Section 409A of the Code does not apply to an award. In general, options and stock appreciation rights are exempt from Section 409A if the exercise price per share is at least equal to the fair market value per share of the underlying stock at the time the option or stock appreciation right was granted. RSUs are subject to Section 409A unless they are settled within two and one half months after the end of the later of (a) the end of the Combined Company’s fiscal year in which vesting occurs or (b) the end of the calendar year in which vesting occurs. Restricted stock awards are not generally subject to Section 409A. If an award is subject to Section 409A and the provisions for the exercise or settlement of that award do not comply with Section 409A, then the participant would be required to recognize ordinary income whenever a portion of the award vested (regardless of whether it had been exercised or settled). This

191

TABLE OF CONTENTS

amount would also be subject to a 20% U.S. federal tax in addition to the U.S. federal income tax at the participant’s usual marginal rate for ordinary income.

Tax Treatment of the Combined Company. The Combined Company will generally be entitled to an income tax deduction at the time and to the extent a participant recognizes ordinary income as a result of an award granted under the Incentive Plan. However, Section 162(m) of the Code may limit the deductibility of certain awards granted under the Incentive Plan. Although the Incentive Plan Administrator considers the deductibility of compensation as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Incentive Plan Administrator retains the discretion to award and pay compensation that is not deductible as it believes that it is in the shareholders’ best interests to maintain flexibility in the approach to executive compensation and to structure a program that the Combined Company considers to be the most effective in attracting, motivating and retaining key employees.

Incentive Plan Benefits

Purchaser Earnout RSUs. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, each holder of an in-the-money option granted under the Predecessor Plan shall receive an award of RSUs under the Incentive Plan (each, a “Purchaser Earnout RSU”), denominated in a number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by ten percent (10%) of the conversion ratio determined pursuant to the Merger Agreement (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares). To receive a Purchaser Earnout RSU, a holder of an in-the-money option must remain in continuous service to Shapeways or its successor through the grant date of the Purchaser Earnout RSU. The Purchaser Earnout RSUs will be subject to substantially the same service-based vesting conditions and acceleration provisions as applied to the former option, except that the Purchaser Earnout RSUs will also be subject to the share-price based vesting and forfeiture conditions contained in the Earnout Terms, in each case as described in and subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Transaction Bonus RSUs. Within thirty (30) days following the Closing, the Combined Company will grant fully vested RSU awards under the Incentive Plan to the individuals identified by the Company prior to Closing (the “Transaction Bonus RSUs”), subject to shareholder approval of the Incentive Plan. The Transaction Bonus RSUs shall be settled in shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock no later than the 74th day following the date of grant.

No awards will be made under the Incentive Plan until after the Business Combination Date. Because the Incentive Plan is discretionary, benefits to be received by individual participants are not determinable. However, assuming shareholder approval of the Incentive Plan, the Combined Company intends to grant RSU awards to certain non-employee directors and executive officers as set forth below:

Name	Dollar Value ($)(1)		Number of RSUs
Greg Kress		—		205,000(2)
		—		(3)
		—		—(4)(7)
Jennifer Walsh		—		205,000(2)
		—		(3)
		—		—(5)(7)
Miko Levy		—		(3)
		—		—(6)(7)
Total (All Executive Officers as a Group)		—

The actual dollar value of the RSU awards will not be determinable until the grant date.

(2)

Transaction Bonus RSUs — fully vested; to be granted within 30 days following the Closing and settled no later than the 74th day following the grant date.

(3)

Purchaser Earnout RSUs — at the Closing, holders of in-the-money Shapeways Options that remain in continuous service to Shapeways through the grant date shall receive Purchaser Earnout RSUs, which shall be subject to substantially the same service-based vesting conditions and acceleration provisions as applied to the Shapeways Option in connection with which such Purchaser Earnout RSUs are granted, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. In addition to such service-based vesting conditions, the Purchaser Earnout RSUs will be subject to the satisfaction of certain share-price based performance vesting conditions contained in the Earnout Terms.

(4)

2022 Incentive Grant — an RSU award to be granted in the first quarter of 2022, subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. The number of RSUs is not determinable at this time. Under Mr. Kress’s Employment Agreement, the number of RSUs awarded, subject to approval, will equal 0.5% of the then outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (taking into account any then outstanding awards under the Incentive Plan, but not the reserve for future unissued awards under the Incentive Plan or other authorized but unissued Common Stock).

(5)

2022 Incentive Grant — an RSU award to be granted in the first quarter of 2022, subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. The number of RSUs is not determinable at this time. Under Ms. Walsh’s Employment Agreement, the number of RSUs awarded, subject to approval, will equal 0.3% of the then outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (taking into account any then outstanding awards under the Incentive Plan, but not the reserve for future unissued awards under the Incentive Plan or other authorized but unissued Common Stock).

(6)

2022 Incentive Grant — an RSU award to be granted in the first quarter of 2022 subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. The number of RSUs is not determinable at this time. Under Mr. Levy’s Employment Agreement, the number of RSUs awarded, subject to approval, will equal 0.2% of the then outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (taking into account any then outstanding awards under the Incentive Plan, but not the reserve for future unissued awards under the Incentive Plan or other authorized but unissued Common Stock).

(7)

The 2022 RSUs will be subject to vesting over four years from the date of grant, as to 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, respectively, in each case, subject to continued employment with the Company through each applicable vesting date.

Registration with the SEC

If the Incentive Plan is approved by Galileo’s shareholders and becomes effective, Galileo intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan as soon as reasonably practicable after Galileo becomes eligible to use such form.

Resolution to be Voted on

The full text of the Incentive Plan Proposal resolution is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the Shapeways Holdings, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, the form of which is appended to the joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus in respect of the meeting as Annex E, be approved and adopted in all respects.”

Required Vote for Approval

The Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal and the NYSE Proposal at the special meeting. If the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal or the NYSE Proposal are not approved, this Proposal 12 will have no effect, even if approved by Galileo’s shareholders.

The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for

the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the Proposal.

Recommendation of the Galileo Board with Respect to the Incentive Plan Proposal

THE GALILEO BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE GALILEO SHAREHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 13 — THE ESPP PROPOSAL

Overview

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Galileo Board is expected to approve and adopt, subject to Galileo shareholder approval, the ESPP. If the ESPP is approved by the shareholders, the Combined Company will be authorized to provide eligible employees of the Combined Company with an opportunity to purchase shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock at a discount to the market price and to pay for such purchases through payroll deductions in accordance with the ESPP’s terms. The form of the ESPP is attached to this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex F. The Galileo Board is still in the process of developing, approving and implementing the ESPP and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the ESPP will be implemented or will contain the terms described below. Galileo’s shareholders are being asked to approve the ESPP as presented.

Purpose of the ESPP

The purpose of the ESPP is to provide employees of the Combined Company and its designated subsidiaries and affiliates (whether now existing or subsequently established) with the ability to acquire shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock at a discount to the market price and to pay for such purchases through payroll deductions or other approved contributions. Galileo believes that the ESPP will be important in helping to attract and retain employees of the Combined Company.

Reasons for the Approval of the ESPP Proposal

The ESPP, and the right of participants to make purchases thereunder, is intended to meet the requirements of an employee stock purchase plan as defined in Section 423 of the Code. Shareholder approval of the ESPP is necessary in order to satisfy the requirements under Section 423 of the Code and to meet the shareholder approval requirements of the NYSE.

Consequences if the ESPP Proposal is Not Approved

If the ESPP is not approved by Galileo’s shareholders, the ESPP will not become effective and the Combined Company will not be able to provide its employees with an opportunity to purchase the Combined Company’s Common Stock at a discount. Galileo believes that the Combined Company’s ability to recruit, retain and incentivize top talent may be adversely affected if the ESPP is not approved.

Summary of the ESPP’s Material Terms and Features

The following summary of the principal provisions of the ESPP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ESPP. The form of the ESPP is attached as Annex F to this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. To the extent there is a conflict between this summary and the ESPP, the terms of the ESPP will govern. As described above, the Galileo Board is in the process of developing, approving and implementing the ESPP and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the ESPP will be implemented or will contain the terms described below. Galileo’s shareholders are being asked to approve the ESPP as presented.

General. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code; however, the ESPP also allows the Combined Company to conduct offerings for non-U.S. employees that do not qualify under Section 423 of the Code as described in “International Participation” below. During regularly scheduled “offering periods” under the ESPP, participants will be able to request payroll deductions

194

TABLE OF CONTENTS

which will be applied periodically to purchase a number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock at a discount to the market price and in an amount determined in accordance with the ESPP’s terms.

Administration. The ESPP will be administered by the Combined Company’s Board or by one or more committees to which the board of directors delegates such administration (as applicable, the “ESPP Administrator”). Subject to the terms of the ESPP, the ESPP Administrator will have the complete discretion to establish the terms and conditions of offering periods under the ESPP, to interpret the ESPP and to make all decisions related to the operation of the ESPP.

Shares Available for Issuance. Up to a maximum of 2% of the aggregate number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing (as calculated after giving effect to the Redemption) may be issued under the ESPP, plus an annual increase in shares described below.

On the first day of each calendar year during the term of the ESPP, beginning on January 1, 2022 and continuing until (and including) January 1, 2031, the aggregate number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock that may be issued under the ESPP will automatically increase by a number equal to the lesser of (a) one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding shares on December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the date of such increase and (b) a number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock determined by the Combined Company’s Board.

Shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock issued under the ESPP may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. As of the date hereof, no rights to purchase shares have been granted under the ESPP.

Eligibility and Participation. All employees (including officers and employee directors) who are employed by the Combined Company or a designated subsidiary (whether currently existing or subsequently established) or, solely in the case of an offering period that is not intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code, a designated affiliate (whether currently existing or subsequently established), are eligible to participate in the ESPP, resulting in approximately 165 employees (including 3 executive officers, one of which is an employee director) as eligible participants. The ESPP Administrator may exclude certain categories of employees from participating in any offering period to the extent permitted by Section 423 of the Code, including part-time employees, seasonal employees, employees who have not completed a minimum period of service with the company and/or highly compensated employees. No employee will be allowed to participate in the ESPP if his or her participation in the ESPP is prohibited by local law or if complying with local law would cause the ESPP or an offering period that is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code to violate the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. In the case of an offering period that is not intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code, the ESPP Administrator may exclude any individual(s) from participation if the ESPP Administrator determines that the participation of such individual(s) is not advisable or practicable. Also, in accordance with Section 423 of the Code, no employee may be granted a right to purchase shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock under the ESPP if, immediately after such grant, such employee would own stock and/or hold outstanding options to purchase stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Combined Company or any parent or subsidiary (including in such calculation stock held directly or indirectly by or for the benefit of the employee and stock held by certain persons related to the employee).

The ESPP will permit an eligible employee to purchase the Combined Company’s Common Stock through payroll deductions, which may not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the employee’s eligible compensation (or such lower limit as may be determined by the ESPP Administrator for an offering period). Employees will be able to withdraw their accumulated payroll deductions prior to the end of the offering period in accordance with the terms of the offering period. Participation in the ESPP will end automatically upon termination of employment. In the event of withdrawal or termination of participation in the ESPP, a participant’s accumulated payroll contributions will be refunded without interest.

Certain limitations on the number of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock that a participant may purchase apply. For example, the right granted to an employee may not permit him or her to purchase more than $25,000 worth of shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock under the ESPP

195

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(determined on the basis of the fair market value per share as of the start of the applicable offering period) for each calendar year in which the right is outstanding. The ESPP Administrator may also establish one or more limits on the number of shares that may be purchased during any offering period and/or purchase period. Unless the ESPP Administrator provides otherwise with respect to an offering period, no participant may purchase more than 5,000 shares during any purchase period within an offering period.

International Participation. To provide the Combined Company with greater flexibility in structuring its equity compensation programs for non-U.S. employees, the ESPP also permits the Combined Company to grant employees of the Combined Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates rights to purchase shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock pursuant to other offering periods and/or sub-plans adopted by the ESPP Administrator in order to achieve tax, securities law or other compliance objectives. While the ESPP is intended to be a qualified “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code, any such international sub-plans or offerings are not required to satisfy those U.S. tax code requirements and therefore may have terms that differ from the ESPP terms applicable in the U.S.

Offering Periods and Purchase Price. The ESPP will be implemented through a series of offering periods of up to twenty-seven (27) months, which may consist of one or more purchase periods. During each purchase period, payroll contributions will accumulate without interest. On the last trading day of the purchase period, accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase the Combined Company’s Common Stock.

The purchase price for each offering period will be established by the ESPP Administrator and may not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value per share of the Combined Company’s Common Stock on either the first trading day in an offering period or on the purchase date, whichever is lower.

Changes in Capital Structure. In the event that there is a specified type of change in the Combined Company’s capital structure, such as a stock split, appropriate adjustments will be made to (a) the number of shares reserved under the ESPP and the maximum size of the annual increase in shares, (b) the individual participant share limitations described in the ESPP and (c) the purchase price per share and the number and class of stock covered by each outstanding right under the ESPP which has not yet been exercised.

Corporate Reorganization. In the event of certain corporate reorganizations, any offering period then in progress will terminate unless the ESPP is continued, assumed or substituted by the surviving entity or its parent. In the event an offering period is terminated, a new purchase date will be set for such offering period prior the effective time of the reorganization and a participant’s accumulated contributions will be applied to his or her purchase rights outstanding on such date.

Amendment and Termination. The ESPP Administrator will have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time. Any increase in the aggregate number of shares to be issued under the ESPP is subject to shareholder approval except for (a) the automatic annual increase in shares and (b) any share increase resulting from changes in the Combined Company’s capital structure. Any other amendment to the ESPP is subject to shareholder approval only to the extent required under applicable law or regulation. The ESPP will terminate automatically 20 years after its adoption by the Galileo Board, unless (i) the ESPP is extended by the Combined Company’s Board and (ii) the extension is approved within 12 months by a vote of the shareholders of the Combined Company.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of Participating in the ESPP

The following is a brief summary of the general U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the ESPP as of the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not discuss the tax consequences of a participant’s death or the income tax laws of any state or foreign country in which the participant may reside. Tax consequences for any particular individual may be different. Therefore, no one should rely on this summary for individual tax compliance, planning or decisions. Participants in the ESPP should consult their own professional tax advisors concerning tax aspects of awards under the ESPP.

As described above, the ESPP has a domestic component intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code and an international component not intended to so qualify. The tax consequences for a U.S. taxpayer will depend on whether he or she participates in the domestic component or the international component.

196

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Further, changes to tax laws following the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement could alter the tax consequences described below.

U.S. Component

Payroll deductions under the ESPP are made on an after-tax basis (i.e., contributions to the ESPP do not reduce a participant’s taxable income).

The ESPP, and the right of U.S. participants to make purchases thereunder, is intended to qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment associated with rights granted under an “employee stock purchase plan” that qualifies under provisions of Section 423 of the Code. As a result, participants in the ESPP will generally not recognize taxable income until they sell or otherwise dispose of the shares purchased under the ESPP. The amount of taxable income a participant will recognize in connection with the sale or other disposition of shares purchased under the ESPP will depend on how long the shares were held. If the shares were held at least two years from the start of the offering period in which the shares were purchased and one year from the date the shares were purchased, then the amount of ordinary income recognized will be equal to the lesser of (a) the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of disposition and the purchase price paid for the shares or (b) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the start of the offering period in which the shares were acquired over the purchase price, and any additional gain will be long-term capital gain. If a sale or other disposition occurs before satisfying one or both holding periods, then the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date over the purchase price paid for the shares. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon disposition of the shares will be a capital gain or loss, which will be long-term if the shares were held at least one year. Under current law, no withholding applies to transactions under the ESPP.

International Component

Rights granted under the international component are not intended to qualify for favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment associated with rights granted under an employee stock purchase plan which qualifies under the provisions of Section 423 of the Code. With respect to any participant who is subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to participation under this component, he or she will have compensation income equal to the value of the Combined Company’s Common Stock on the day he or she purchases the Combined Company’s Common Stock, less the purchase price, and will be subject to withholding for income, Medicare and social security taxes, as applicable, on such amount. When a participant sells the Combined Company’s Common Stock purchased under the ESPP, he or she also will have a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the value of the Combined Company’s Common Stock on the day he or she purchased the stock. Any capital gain or loss will be short-term or long-term, depending on how long the stock has been held.

Tax Consequences to Galileo

There are no federal income tax consequences to Galileo by reason of the grant or exercise of rights under the ESPP. Galileo is generally entitled to a deduction to the extent amounts are taxed as ordinary income to a participant in connection with a sale or disposition of shares prior to satisfaction of the holding periods described above.

New Plan Benefits

Benefits to be received under the ESPP are not determinable since they depend on terms to be established by the Combined Company and discretionary participant elections whether and to what extent to participate in the ESPP.

Registration with the SEC

If the ESPP is approved by Galileo’s shareholders and becomes effective, Galileo intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP as soon as reasonably practicable after Galileo becomes eligible to use such form.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of Galileo and Shapeways adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.”

The historical financial information of Galileo was derived from the unaudited financial statements of Galileo as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/ prospectus. The historical financial information of Shapeways was derived from the unaudited financial statements of Shapeways as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with Galileo’s and Shapeways’ audited financial statements and related notes, the sections titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Galileo,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Shapeways” and other financial information included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, Galileo will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Shapeways issuing stock for the net assets of Galileo, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Galileo will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities as a result of the Domestication.

Shapeways has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances with regard to the Company immediately after the Closing, applicable to both the minimum and maximum redemption scenarios:

•

After the Closing, the Company Board shall consistent of six directors: (i) three directors designated by Shapeways, two of which will be independent directors in accordance with NYSE rules, (ii) two directors designated by Galileo, both of which will be independent directors in accordance with the NYSE rules and (iii) one additional independent director to be mutually agreed upon by Shapeways and Galileo;

•

The executive officers of Shapeways will become the initial executive officers of Galileo;

•

The assets of Shapeways will represent a significant majority of the assets of the Company (excluding cash formerly held in the Trust Account); and

•

After the Closing, the business of the Company will be the continued business of Shapeways. The business of the Company will continue to focus on Shapeways’ core offerings related to the facilitation of the sale, design and manufacturing of 3D printed items.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 assumes that the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020. Galileo and Shapeways have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are for informational purposes only. They do not purport to indicate the results that would have been obtained had the Business Combination and related transactions actually been completed on the assumed date or for the periods presented, or which may be realized in the future. The pro forma adjustments are based on the information currently available and the assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes.

201

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The Business Combination and Related Transactions

On April 28, 2021, Galileo Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Galileo”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Galileo, Galileo Acquisition Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Galileo (“Merger Sub”), Galileo Founders Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sponsor”), Fortis Advisors LLC, in the capacity as the Seller Representative, and Shapeways, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Shapeways”).

At the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the total consideration received by Shapeways security holders from Galileo will have an aggregate value equal to $406,000,000 (the “Merger Consideration”), payable, in the case of Shapeways stockholders, solely in new shares of Common Stock and, in the case of other Shapeways security holders, in new shares of Common Stock and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for new shares of Common Stock. The Merger Consideration deliverable to Shapeways stockholders will be allocated pro rata after giving effect to the required conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Shapeways preferred stock into shares of Shapeways common stock immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the Closing. Based on the number of shares of Shapeways outstanding as of June 30, 2021 (together, solely for the purposes of this calculation, with additional Shapeways shares issued upon exercise of Shapeways convertible securities between the end of the first quarter and April 27, 2021, which were not material, individually or in the aggregate) on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis, taking into account the assumptions further described below, Shapeways Stockholders will receive an estimated 34,683,923 shares of Common Stock based on an assumed Conversion Ratio of 0.83 reflecting an assumed Redemption Price of $10.09 and a Per Share Price of $8.37.

After the Closing, shares of Common Stock representing 10% of the Merger Consideration (3,396,284 shares of Common Stock, taking into account the assumptions further described below) will be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions (the “Earnout Terms”) based upon the VWAP trading price of Common Stock reaching targets of $14.00 and $16.00, respectively (with 50% released at each target) for a period of 30 consecutive trading days during the three-year period after the Closing, with the portion of such shares that would otherwise be deliverable to Shapeways Stockholders at the Closing being withheld and deposited into escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. A pro rata portion of the 10% Merger Consideration earnout will also be allocated to Shapeways options and warrants that, at the Closing, will be exchanged for options and warrants (as applicable) exercisable for shares of Common Stock (as described below).

Shapeways options issued pursuant to Shapeways’ 2010 Stock Plan that are not exercised prior to the Closing will be assumed by Galileo and converted, subject to certain adjustments that are described in the Merger Agreement, into options exercisable for shares of Common Stock and, in the case of in-the-money Shapeways options held by individuals remaining in continuous service to the Company, a right to receive an award of restricted stock units (RSUs) denominated in shares of Common Stock that are subject to the Earnout Terms and to service-based vesting and forfeiture restrictions. Shapeways warrants that are not exercised prior to the Closing will be assumed by Galileo and converted into warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock and, in the case of in-the-money Shapeways warrants, warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock that are subject to the vesting and forfeiture restrictions included in the Earnout Terms. Prior to the Closing, outstanding Shapeways Convertible Notes will be converted into shares of Shapeways Preferred Stock at the election of the holders thereof, which will then be converted into shares of Shapeways Common Stock prior to the Closing.

The accounting treatment of the Earnout Shares subject to the Earnout Terms is expected to be recognized at fair value upon the closing of the Business Combination and classified in stockholders’ equity. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect pro forma adjustments related to the recognition of these shares because there is no net impact on additional paid-in capital on a pro forma combined basis. We expect to finalize our assessment of the accounting treatment prior to the Closing.

202

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Galileo entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Galileo agreed to issue and sell to such investors an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $75,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”). The closing of the PIPE Investment is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of Common Stock:

•

Assuming Minimum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no Public Shareholders of Galileo exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares.

•

The following summarizes the pro forma Common Stock outstanding under the two scenarios assuming the earnout contingencies related to the Earnout Terms has not yet been met:

	Assuming Minimum Redemptions (Shares)		%		Assuming Maximum Redemptions (Shares)		%
Shapeways Stockholders(1)		31,215,531		56.3%		31,215,531		70.8%
Galileo’s public stockholders		13,800,000		24.9%		2,459,069		5.6%
Founder and Representative Shares(2)		2,910,000		5.3%		2,910,000		6.6%
PIPE investors		7,500,000		13.5%		7,500,000		17.0%
Pro forma Combined Company Common Stock at June 30, 2021		55,425,531		100.0%		44,084,600		100.0%

(1)

Excludes 3,468,392 shares of Common Stock subject to the Earnout Terms as the earnout contingency has not yet been met. Such shares will be deposited into escrow in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and will be subject to reduction or forfeiture during the Escrow Period in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Shapeways Stockholders in whose names the Earnout Shares are issued at Closing will maintain voting rights related to such shares unless forfeited.

(2)

Excludes 4,110,000 Private Warrants, of which 3,562,000 and 548,000 are held by the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital and its designees, respectively, and 500,000 Sponsor Warrants. Under the minimum redemption scenario, if such securities held were exercised and converted into shares of Common Stock and the earnout contingency has been met, the percentage ownership held or represented by the Shapeways Stockholders, Galileo’s public stockholders, Founder and Representative Shares, and PIPE investors would total 54.6%, 21.7%, 11.9% and 11.8%, respectively. Under the maximum redemption scenario, if such securities held were exercised and converted into shares of Common Stock, the percentage ownership held or represented by the Shapeways Stockholders, Galileo’s public stockholders, Founder and Representative Shares, and PIPE investors would total 66.5%, 4.7%, 14.4% and 14.4%, respectively.

203

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Both scenarios assume that there will be an aggregate of 17,400,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Business Combination, which shares will have been converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company upon completion of the Business Combination, including the Domestication (except with respect to the 690,000 shares that will be forfeited by the Sponsor at the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Insider Forfeiture Letter).

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 are based on the historical financial statements of Galileo and Shapeways. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on information currently available, and assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used to present the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Basis of Presentation

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Galileo will be treated as the “accounting acquiree” and Shapeways as the “accounting acquirer” for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Shapeways issuing shares for the net assets of Galileo, followed by a recapitalization. The net assets of Shapeways will be stated at historical cost. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Shapeways.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 assumes that the Business Combination occurred on June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2020. These periods are presented on the basis of Shapeways as the accounting acquirer.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination and related transactions are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that Galileo believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. Galileo believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination and related transactions based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination and related transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Combined Company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Galileo and Shapeways.

Note 2. Accounting Policies

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

Note 3. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s

208

Adjustments”). The Company has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include an income tax adjustment. Upon closing of the Business Combination, it is likely that the Combined Company will record a valuation allowance against the total U.S. and state deferred tax assets as the recoverability of the tax assets is uncertain. The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the Combined Company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

The pro forma basic and diluted loss per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based upon the number of the Combined Company’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2020.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 are as follows:

Reflects the reclassification of marketable securities held in the Trust Account to cash and cash equivalents.

Represents cash proceeds of $75,000,000 from the private placement of 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share pursuant to the concurrent PIPE Investment.

Represents estimated non-recurring transaction costs of $18,865,715 inclusive of advisory, banking, printing, legal and accounting fees that are expensed as a part of the Business Combination and equity issuance costs that are capitalized into additional paid-in capital. As of June 30, 2021, $1,820,000 was accrued and $2,015,161 was capitalized on the balance sheet of Shapeways. Equity issuance costs of $9,310,715 are offset to additional paid-in capital and the remaining balance is expensed through accumulated deficit. The costs expensed through accumulated deficit are included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 as discussed below.

Represents the conversion of the outstanding principal and related accrued interest of the Shapeways Convertible Notes into shares of Shapeways Series Class E Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in contemplation of the Business Combination. Class E Preferred Stock is a component of Shapeways equity interests converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Represents repayment of outstanding Shapeways’ notes payable.

Represents the elimination of the change in fair value of the Sponsor Note which as adjusted through accumulated deficit as the change was included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Represents the conversion of the Sponsor Note, at the option of the Sponsor, into 500,000 Sponsor Warrants, with terms equivalent to Galileo’s outstanding Private Warrants, for a purchase price of $1.00 per Sponsor Warrant. As of June 30, 2021, these 500,000 Sponsor Warrants would have an estimated fair value $0.55 per warrant. The difference in aggregate fair value of the warrants compared to the carrying value of the Sponsor Note, after consideration of adjustment F, was recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital due to the related party nature of the Sponsor.

Reflects the reclassification of approximately $138,000,000 of Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption to permanent equity.

Represents recapitalization of Shapeways’ outstanding equity and the issuance of Common Stock to Shapeways shareholders as consideration for the reverse recapitalization.

209

TABLE OF CONTENTS

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Represents the forfeiture of 690,000 shares held by the Sponsor, contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination, pursuant to the Sponsor Forfeiture Letter.

Reflects the reclassification of Galileo’s historical accumulated deficit.

Reflects a scenario in which 11,340,931 Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, for aggregate payments to redeeming Public Shareholders of $114,430,000 (assuming a redemption price of $10.09 per share), allocated to common stock and additional paid-in capital using par value $0.0001 per share. This adjustment is recorded after consideration of the condition to the Closing under the Merger Agreement, which is waivable by Shapeways, that, at the Closing, Galileo have cash or cash equivalents, including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of the Redemption) and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment, prior to giving effect to the payment of Galileo’s unpaid transaction expenses or liabilities, at least equal to $100,000,000.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

AA.

Reflects elimination of investment income on the Trust Account.

BB.

Reflects the accrual of additional transaction costs incurred subsequent to June 30, 2021. These costs are in addition to transaction costs incurred by Galileo and Shapeways previously recognized in the respective historical statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020. Additional transaction costs are reflected as if incurred on January 1, 2020, the date the Business Combination occurred for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. This is a non-recurring item.

CC.

Represents the elimination of the loss recognized related to the change in fair value of the Sponsor Note as a result of the conversion of the Sponsor Note, at the option of the Sponsor, into 500,000 Sponsor Warrants.

Note 4. Net Loss per Share

Net loss per share was calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. As the Business Combination and related transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share assumes that the shares issuable in the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entirety of all periods presented. If the number of shares of Public Shares described under the “Assuming Maximum Redemptions” scenario described above are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to present two alternative scenarios with respect to redemption of ordinary shares by Public Shareholders at the time of the

INFORMATION ABOUT GALILEO

Introduction

Galileo is a blank check company incorporated on July 30, 2019 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination.

Significant Activities Since Inception

On October 22, 2019, Galileo consummated the IPO of 13,800,000 units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,800,000 units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $138,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, Galileo consummated the sale of 4,110,000 private warrants at a price of $1.00 per private warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor and EBC, generating gross proceeds of $4,110,000.

Transaction costs amounted to $3,187,305, consisting of $2,760,000 of underwriting fees and $427,305 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the IPO on October 22, 2019, an amount of $138,000,000 ($10.00 per unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the IPO and the sale of the private warrants was placed in the Trust Account and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of approximately six months, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

Pursuant to NYSE listing rules, the target business or businesses that Galileo acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for Galileo’s initial business combination, although Galileo may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance. The fair market value of the target will be determined by the Galileo Board based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value). Galileo will not be required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, as to the fair market value if the Galileo Board independently determines that the target business complies with the 80% threshold. The Public Shareholders will be relying on the business judgment of the Galileo Board, which will have significant discretion in choosing the standard used to establish the fair market value of the target or targets, and different methods of valuation may vary greatly in outcome from one another. As discussed in the Section entitled “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Satisfaction of 80% Test,” the Galileo Board determined that this test was met in connection with the Business Combination.

If NYSE delists Galileo’s securities from trading on its exchange, Galileo would not be required to satisfy the fair market value requirement described above and could complete a business combination with a target business having a fair market value substantially below 80% of the balance in the Trust Account.

Shareholder Approval of the Business Combination

Galileo is seeking Public Shareholder approval of the Business Combination at the Meeting and, in connection with such meeting, Public Shareholders may redeem their Ordinary Shares for cash in accordance with the procedures described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Such redemption rights will be effected under the Current Charter and the laws of the Cayman Islands. Galileo’s Sponsor and its directors and officers have agreed in the Sponsor Letter Agreement (i) to vote the Sponsor Shares and any other Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor, or Galileo’s directors and officers, in favor of

212

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Business Combination; and (ii) to not redeem any Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination, including the Business Combination.

Galileo will complete the Business Combination (or any other proposed initial business combination, if the Business Combination is not completed) only if Galileo has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and, solely if Galileo obtains approval from a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Galileo chose the net tangible asset threshold of $5,000,001 to ensure that it would avoid being subject to Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act. Further, it is a condition to Closing, which Shapeways may waive, that Galileo have cash and cash equivalents, including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of any redemptions) and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment, prior to paying any of Galileo’s expenses and liabilities due at the Closing, of an amount equal to $100,000,000. For more information related to this condition, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Galileo” for more information. If the condition above is (1) not waived by Shapeways; (2) Galileo is unable to satisfy such condition, including with funds from the PIPE Investment, and (3) Galileo is not able to secure additional third-party financing in order to meet the condition, Galileo may not be able to consummate the Business Combination with Shapeways and it may not be able to locate another suitable target prior to October 22, 2021, if at all. Public Shareholders may therefore have to wait until after October 22, 2021 in order to be able to receive a pro rata share of the Trust Account.

Redemption Rights

In connection with the Meeting, Public Shareholders (but not Galileo’s Initial shareholders) may seek to exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for the Redemption Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Galileo’s Initial shareholders have agreed, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter with us, not to exercise their rights to redeem any Public Shares held by them for the Redemption Price Account. Redemption rights of Public Shareholders, if properly exercised in the manner described in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus will be effected under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law. At the Meeting, Public Shareholders have the ability to vote against the Business Combination and not seek redemption of their Public Shares.

Galileo’s Initial shareholders, directors and officers will not have redemption rights with respect to any Ordinary Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly, whether acquired prior to the IPO or purchased by them in the IPO or in the aftermarket. Additionally, the purchasers of the Units will not have redemption rights with respect to any Ordinary Shares owned by them.

A Public Shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if such Public Shareholder:

(a)

holds Public Shares or holds Public Shares through units and elects to separate such units into the underlying Public Shares and warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and

(b)

prior to 5 p.m., Eastern Time on September 24, 2021 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting), (i) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Galileo’s Transfer Agent, that Galileo redeem your Public Shares for cash and (ii) deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company.

213

TABLE OF CONTENTS

transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal.

Any request for Redemption, once made by a Public Shareholder, may be not be withdrawn once submitted to Galileo unless the Galileo Board determines (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part). You may make such request by contacting Galileo’s Transfer Agent.

Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates and other redemption forms should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is Galileo’s understanding that Public Shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, Galileo does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Public Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their banks, brokers or other nominees to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge a nominal fee to the tendering broker and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

If the initial business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then Public Shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not be entitled to exercise their rights to redeem their Ordinary Shares for the applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. In such case, Galileo will promptly return any share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms delivered by Public Shareholders.

Limitation on Redemption Rights

In connection with the Business Combination a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking conversion of its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the IPO. Galileo believes the restriction described above will discourage shareholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to convert their shares as a means to force us or Galileo’s management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a Public Shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the IPO could threaten to exercise its conversion rights against an initial business combination if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us or Galileo’s management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting Galileo’s shareholders’ ability to convert no more than 15% of the shares sold in the IPO, Galileo believes that it will limit the ability of a small group of shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block Galileo’s ability to complete Galileo’s initial business combination, particularly in connection with an

214

TABLE OF CONTENTS

initial business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that Galileo has a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting Galileo’s shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including all shares held by those shareholders that hold more than 15% of the shares sold in the IPO) for or against Galileo’s initial business combination.

Redemption of Public Shares if No Business Combination

If Galileo does not complete a business combination by October 22, 2021, Galileo will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to us to pay Galileo’s tax obligations and less up to $100,000 of interest we may use for Galileo’s working capital obligations, including any necessary liquidation or dissolution expenses, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Galileo’s remaining shareholders and Galileo’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to Galileo’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Prior to such redemption of Public Shares, Galileo would be required to assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us by Galileo’s creditors for amounts they are actually owed and make provision for such amounts, as creditors take priority over the Public Shareholders with respect to amounts that are owed to them. There can be no assurances that Galileo will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, Galileo’s shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims of creditors to the extent of distributions received by them as an unlawful payment in the event we enter an insolvent liquidation. Furthermore, while we will seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties we engaged to assist us in any way in connection with Galileo’s search for a target business) and prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements with us, they will not seek recourse against the Trust Account or that a court would conclude that such agreements are legally enforceable.

Each of Galileo’s initial shareholders and the purchasers of the units have agreed to waive its rights to participate in any liquidation of Galileo’s Trust Account with respect to the Sponsor shares, private shares and Private Placement Warrants. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to Galileo’s warrants which will expire worthless.

If we are unable to complete an initial business combination and expend all of the net proceeds of Galileo’s IPO, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the initial per-share distribution from the Trust Account would be approximately $10.09 (based on the Trust Account balance as of August 31, 2021).

The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of Galileo’s creditors which would be prior to the claims of the Public Shareholders. Although Galileo will seek to have all vendors, including lenders for money borrowed, prospective target businesses or other entities we engage execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of the Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with a claim against Galileo’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refused to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, we would perform an analysis of the alternatives available to us if we chose not to engage such third party and evaluate if such engagement would be in the best interest of the Public Shareholders if such third party refused to waive such claims. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refused to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by

215

TABLE OF CONTENTS

management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a provider of required services willing to provide the waiver. In any event, Galileo’s management would perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and would only enter into an agreement with a third party that did not execute a waiver if management believed that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason.

Employees

Galileo has two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Galileo matters and devote only as much time as they deem necessary to Galileo’s affairs. Galileo does not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of a business combination.

Legal Proceedings

To the knowledge of Galileo’s management, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against Galileo, any of Galileo’s officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of Galileo’s property.

Compensation Committee

The Galileo Board has established a compensation committee. Messrs. Cohen, Jones and Pontonio serve as members of ifs compensation committee. Under the NYSE listing standards and applicable SEC rules, Galileo is required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent. Messrs. Cohen, Jones and Pontonio are independent and Mr. Cohen chairs the compensation committee.

Galileo has adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

•

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, if any is paid by us, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate the consummation of an initial business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee must consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by the NYSE and the SEC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION OF GALILEO

The following discussion and analysis of Galileo’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Galileo’s audited financial statements and the notes related thereto included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Overview

Galileo is a blank check company formed on July 30, 2019 for the purpose of effecting an initial businesses combination. Galileo intends to effectuate its initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Units, Galileo’s capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

220

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Galileo expects to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. Galileo cannot assure Public Shareholders that the Galileo Board’s plans to complete a business combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC issued a statement (the “SEC Staff Statement”), wherein the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to being treated as equity. Specifically, the SEC Staff Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing Galileo’s warrants. As a result of the SEC Staff Statement, during April and May 2020, Galileo reevaluated the accounting treatment of its warrants, which, since issuance on October 22, 2019, were accounted for as equity within our balance sheet. After discussion and evaluation, including with our independent auditors, pursuant to the guidance in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), Galileo determined the private warrants should be classified as derivative liabilities measured at fair value on its balance sheet, with any changes in fair value to be reported each period in earnings on its statement of operations. Following such discussion and evaluation, Galileo, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that its previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 should be restated because of a misapplication in the guidance around accounting for the private warrants, and should no longer be relied upon. As a result, Galileo determined that it was appropriate to restate Galileo’s previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the period from July 30, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which restatement is reflected in the amendment to Galileo’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on May 26, 2021. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, Galileo’s financial statements may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors, which are outside of its control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, Galileo expects that it will recognize non-cash gains or losses on its warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

Results of Operations

Galileo has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date and its only activities from inception to March 31, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering, described below, and identifying a target company for an initial business combination. Galileo does not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. Galileo generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. Galileo incurs expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing an initial business combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Galileo had a net loss of $12,312,374, which consists of operating costs of $1,399,263, change in fair value of promissory note of $850,000, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $10,069,500, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $6,389.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If Galileo complete an initial business combination, Galileo would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that an initial business combination does not close, Galileo may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the private warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

On December 14, 2020, Galileo entered into the Sponsor Note with its Sponsor, pursuant to which, the Sponsor agreed to loan Galileo up to an aggregate principal amount of $500,000. The Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the date on which an initial business combination is consummated. If Galileo does not consummate an initial business combination, Galileo may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. Up to $500,000 of the Note may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of our sponsor. The warrants would be identical to the private warrants. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance under the Note amounted to an aggregate of $500,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

Galileo has no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2020. Galileo does not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

Marketing Agreement. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Capital Markets Advisor with Needham, at the Closing, Needham will be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses not to exceed $10,000 (including fees and disbursements to legal counsel). Accordingly, Needham and Craig Hallum have an interest in Galileo completing the Business Combination because, if the Business Combination or another business combination, is not consummated, Needham and Craig Hallum will not receive the Capital Markets Advisory Fees and Needham will not be reimbursed for expenses pursuant to its Capital Markets Advisor EL with Galileo.

Pursuant to the Stifel Engagement Letter, a placement fee (the “Placement Fee”) equal to 4.0% of the gross proceeds to Galileo from the PIPE Investment, excluding proceeds from PIPE Investors that were Shapeways Stockholders as of the date they entered into Subscription Agreements and excluding proceeds from Stifel or any of its affiliates, will be payable to Stifel upon consummation of the PIPE Investment. Additionally, the Stifel Engagement Letter requires Galileo to reimburse Stifel for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, not to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate, regardless of whether the PIPE Investment is consummated. Accordingly, Stifel has an interest in the Company completing the PIPE Investment and the Business Combination because, if the PIPE Investment is not consummated, Stifel will not receive the Placement Fee.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Galileo has identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liability

We account for the private warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the private warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the private warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of the private warrants was estimated using a Binomial Lattice Model.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Redemption

Galileo accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Galileo’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our balance sheets.

Net Loss Per Ordinary Share

Galileo applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted for redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of redeemable ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance outstanding for the period. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted for non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), less income attributable to redeemable ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period.

Our Mission

Shapeways enables digital manufacturing at scale by combining high quality, flexible on-demand manufacturing with purpose-built proprietary software.

Company Overview

Shapeways is a leading digital manufacturer combining high quality, flexible on-demand manufacturing with purpose-built proprietary software to offer customers an end-to-end digital manufacturing platform on which they can rapidly transform digital designs into physical products. Our manufacturing platform offers customers access to high quality manufacturing from start to finish through automation, innovation and digitization. Our proprietary software, wide selection of materials and technologies, and global supply chain lower manufacturing barriers and accelerate delivery of manufactured parts from prototypes to finished end parts. We combine deep digital manufacturing know-how and software expertise to deliver high quality, flexible on-demand digital manufacturing to a range of customers, from project-focused engineers to large enterprises.

Based in New York City, we were founded in 2008 and have two manufacturing facilities, one in Long Island City, New York and the other in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. In addition, as of June 30, 2021, we had over 50 strategic supply chain partners who provide incremental capacity and production technologies to help us scale with customer demand and support us in efficiently launching new materials and manufacturing technologies. These strategic partners were responsible for approximately 33% of our revenue in 2020, and approximately 37% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

We support our customers through the design, pre-production, manufacturing and delivery process across a range of industries, materials, part volumes and delivery options. Our software is deeply integrated with our customers’ workflows and often is mission critical to their businesses. We believe our manufacturing platform is highly scalable, having delivered to date over 21 million parts to one million customers in over 160 countries. Our platform is agnostic as to manufacturing hardware, materials and design software providers. Today, we utilize 11 additive manufacturing technologies to produce parts in more than 90 materials and finishes.

We use our proprietary software to automate production that passes through the Shapeways manufacturing platform. Our software supports ordering, part analysis, manufacturing planning, pre-production and manufacturing. This software enables Shapeways to offer high quality, low-volume, complex part production. In an environment increasingly focused on mass customization and speed of part delivery, our core competency in low-volume, high-mix production at scale appeals to customers.

In 2020, we launched Powered by Shapeways, software that enables other manufacturers the ability to leverage Shapeways’ existing end-to-end manufacturing software to scale their businesses and shift to digital manufacturing. Shapeways’ software offers improved customer accessibility, increased productivity and expanded manufacturing capabilities for its customers. We intend to further commercialize our software as part of our goal to accelerate digital transformation across the manufacturing ecosystem. We believe our software can transform manufacturers globally by easing the digital transformation by traditional manufacturers, particularly small- to medium-sized manufacturers that are not able to invest the capital and time necessary to digitize their processes.

We believe the digital manufacturing industry is at an inflection point. According to industry research, the global digital manufacturing market, which includes spending on low-volume high-mix part manufacturing

225

TABLE OF CONTENTS

across all manufacturing technologies, is expected to grow from $39 billion in 2020 to $120 billion in 2030 by disrupting the massive global manufacturing market which is slow, manual and rigid. This is fueled by the additive manufacturing industry, which is experiencing a transformation due to significant advancements in hardware technologies, innovation in materials, and the adoption of software to increase speed, lower cost and achieve higher flexibility. With our purpose-built proprietary software, we believe Shapeways is uniquely positioned to empower adoption of digital manufacturing on a global scale.

Industry Opportunity

Digital Manufacturing Can Generate Significant Value.

According to industry sources, digital manufacturing can result in a 20 – 50% reduction in time to market, 45 – 55% improved labor efficiency and 30 – 50% reduction in total machine downtime relative to traditional manufacturing. Despite these efficiencies, businesses pursuing digital manufacturing solutions often face significant barriers to adopting these technologies, primarily due to high upfront costs, ongoing operating costs, and lack of experience operating digital manufacturing systems. Changing customer needs including the ability to bring products to market faster, minimizing upfront investment, greater flexibility in the supply chain, lack of appropriate manufacturing technology and materials, and the shift towards mass customization are not being met by traditional manufacturing. Existing manufacturing software is focused on mass production and limits the ability to shift to low-volume, high-mix production at scale. Making the shift to digital manufacturing requires significant investment in the development of software, which existing manufacturers are not capable of with their existing resources and knowhow.

Digital Manufacturing Addresses Many of the Pain Points of Traditional Manufacturing.

Traditional manufacturing processes have various limitations relating to cost structure, design restrictions, time-to-market and material waste. Digital manufacturing applies technology across the product lifecycle — from design to production to servicing — to help improve efficiency and optimize supply chains. Digital manufacturing enables the continuous exchange of information between digital design and physical processing, allowing manufacturers to reduce time-to-market and realize cost savings as production often requires fewer iterations. Digital manufacturing reduces the reliance on manual processes, allowing for more streamlined processes and improvements across manufacturing organizations. Integrated manufacturing facilities allow for real-time process feedback, creating greater visibility, advanced process control and quicker error remediation. The use of computer-aided-design (CAD) software allows for revisions to design specifications and testing prior to sourcing and production, often resulting in savings in materials costs and production rounds. Beyond the efficiency benefits, digital manufacturing is gaining viability amongst manufacturers as it addresses customers’ shifting requirements around low-volume production, mass customization and supply chain optimization.

Limited End-to-End Digitization in Manufacturing.

Digital maturity is currently limited within the manufacturing industry. Manufacturers often cite organizational resistance, available capital or lack of technology expertise as hindrances to digital transformation. Innovation, however, is not new to the industry and has been prolific in the recent decades. Since the 1990s, manufacturers have adopted process automation and new techniques such as lean manufacturing. In the early 2000s, their focus shifted to flexible processes, supply chain integration and further automation. The next stage in this transformation is digital and involves making manufacturing processes more intelligent. With over 10 million manufacturers globally only 6% are digitized today, according to industry sources. The majority of those manufactures are small- to medium-sized manufacturers that are not able to invest the capital and time investments necessary to digitize their end-to-end manufacturing processes.

Additive Manufacturing Innovation Accelerating Shift to Finished Part Production.

Additive Manufacturing is a key enabler to digital manufacturing, since it is a manufacturing technology well suited for low volume, complex manufacturing. Yet despite the benefits of additive manufacturing relative to traditional manufacturing, the transition from design and prototyping applications to finished part production has been gradual. Advancements in processes, hardware, materials and software have enhanced

226

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the viability of additive manufacturing for end-part production. Legacy patent expiration has enabled new hardware innovation, which has delivered improved speed, accuracy and quality. Hardware manufacturers have embraced an “open material” model, which provides third-party material providers more freedom to innovate. Consequently, large materials manufacturers have invested in materials development and available materials alternatives have increased over time. Shapeways estimates that thousands of new materials will be released in the next several years compared to the few hundreds of materials that are in use today. This will enable new end part applications and market innovation, and accelerate the adoption of finished, end-use production parts. Pressures on global supply chains have also encouraged manufacturers to need to transition from a “made-to-stock” to a “made-to-order” manufacturing model, in order to reduce inventory costs.

Our Strategy

The key elements of our strategy for growth are:

•

Expand Materials Offering. Our materials portfolio has historically been focused on polymers. We will continue to expand our polymers offerings while adding capabilities in industrial metals, composites and ceramics. We believe that by expanding our materials capabilities and offering a comprehensive and innovative materials portfolio, we will be able to unlock additional opportunities in key markets such as industrial, medical, automotive and aerospace.

•

Build a Diverse, Global Customer Base. Our customers today include businesses of all sizes, ranging from small and medium enterprises to Fortune 500 organizations, and span many industries, including aerospace, robotics, consumer products, architecture, gaming, jewelry and medical devices. We have historically served customers based largely in North America and Europe, but we believe there is considerable opportunity to expand into other markets, including Asia, in particular, given the significant levels of manufacturing output in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and India. We aim to leverage our supply chain partners globally to help us serve customers in areas in which we currently do not have a geographic footprint. As we continue to add customers, we may consider adding our own manufacturing capabilities to serve customers outside of North America and Europe.

•

Expand Within and Beyond Additive Manufacturing. We will continue to expand our reach within additive manufacturing through new hardware and materials capabilities. We also plan to expand into other digital manufacturing technologies such as computer numerical control (CNC), injection molding and sheet metal, all of which are generally suited to complex, low-volume part production. As our customers scale in volume, they often graduate into these traditional methods; therefore, we believe adding these capabilities will allow us to capture a larger portion of customer spend and grow with our customers. We plan to leverage our outsourced supply chain partners to support these manufacturing capabilities while we focus our internal manufacturing capabilities on additive manufacturing.

•

Further Commercialize Software Offering. We believe there are opportunities to expand revenue from our software offering. We recently deployed software offerings which we collectively refer to as Powered by Shapeways to certain design partners to test the software with the goal of creating a white-labeled version of this software that we can license to other manufacturers. We believe that offering this software to other manufacturers will enable us to generate future .

•

Target Strategic M&A and Partnership Opportunities. The manufacturing industry is highly fragmented, with many niche additive manufacturers focused on specific geographies, end-markets, hardware technologies and materials, but many of these manufacturers have not implemented software to fully digitize their manufacturing process and complete their digital transformation. With increased resources following the Business Combination, we expect to be able to take advantage of potential future opportunities, to grow inorganically by acquiring companies that we believe can help us accelerate our investment in new hardware, materials, and finishing capabilities, as well as new geographies and vertical markets. We believe our expertise in both software and manufacturing makes us well positioned to evaluate such opportunities as they become available in the future. provides a unique opportunity for consolidation.

Control Reform Act of 2018 and regulatory guidance thereunder have imposed additional controls and may result in the imposition of further additional controls, on the export of certain “emerging and foundational technologies.” Our current and future products may be subject to these heightened regulations, which could increase our compliance costs.

Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits, and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings may involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties, and could result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions, or relief. Due to the inherent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates.

SHAPEWAYS’ MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information of Shapeways included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth in the section captioned “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Shapeways’ Business” and elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Company Overview

Shapeways is a leading digital manufacturer combining high quality, flexible, on-demand manufacturing with purpose-built proprietary software to offer customers an end-to-end digital manufacturing platform on which they can rapidly transform digital designs into physical products. Shapeways’ manufacturing platform offers customers access to high quality manufacturing from start to finish through automation, innovation, and digitization. Shapeways’ proprietary software, wide selection of materials and technologies, and global supply chain lower manufacturing barriers and accelerate delivery of manufactured parts from prototypes to finished end parts.

Shapeways combines deep digital manufacturing know-how and software expertise to deliver high quality, flexible on-demand digital manufacturing to a range of customers, from project-focused engineers to large enterprises. Digital manufacturing is the complete digitization of the end-to-end manufacturing process that enables the transition of a digital file to a physical product. Digital manufacturing is well suited for high quality, low volume, complex manufacturing at scale using both traditional manufacturing methods as well as additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing is well suited for low volume, complex manufacturing due its ability to “add” layer upon layer of material to form complex parts without the need for high cost molds and tooling or wasteful “subtractive” manufacturing processes.

Based in New York City, Shapeways was founded in 2008 and has two manufacturing facilities, one in Long Island City, New York and the other in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. In addition, as of June 30, 2021, Shapeways had over 50 strategic supply chain partners who provide incremental capacity and production technologies to help us scale with customer demand and support us in efficiently launching new materials and manufacturing technologies.

Shapeways supports its customers through the design, pre-production, manufacturing, and delivery process across a range of industries, materials, part volumes, and delivery options. Shapeways’ software is deeply integrated with our customers’ workflows and often is mission critical to their businesses. Shapeways believes its manufacturing platform is highly scalable, having delivered to date over 21 million parts to one million customers in over 160 countries. Shapeways’ platform is agnostic as to manufacturing hardware,

235

TABLE OF CONTENTS

materials, and design software providers. Today, Shapeways utilizes 11 additive manufacturing technologies to produce parts in more than 90 materials and finishes.

Shapeways uses its proprietary software to automate production that passes through the Shapeways manufacturing platform. Our software supports ordering, part analysis, manufacturing planning, preproduction, and manufacturing. This software enables Shapeways to offer high quality, low-volume, complex part production. In an environment increasingly focused on mass customization and speed of part delivery, Shapeways’ core competency in low-volume, high-mix production at scale appeals to customers.

In 2020, Shapeways launched Powered by Shapeways, software that enables other manufacturers the ability to leverage Shapeways’ existing end-to-end manufacturing software to scale their businesses and shift to digital manufacturing. Shapeways’ software offers improved customer accessibility, increased productivity, and expanded manufacturing capabilities for its customers. Shapeways intends to further commercialize its software as part of its goal to accelerate digital transformation across the manufacturing ecosystem. Shapeways believes its software can transform manufacturers globally by easing the digital transformation by traditional manufacturers, particularly small- to medium-sized manufacturers that are not able to invest the capital and time necessary to digitize their processes.

Recent Developments

Galileo Merger

On April 28, 2021, Shapeways entered into the Merger Agreement with Galileo, a special purpose acquisition company. The terms of the Merger Agreement provide that, effective at the time of the Business Combination, Shapeways will survive the merger becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Galileo. Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, Galileo will change its name to Shapeways Holdings, Inc. Cash proceeds of the Business Combination will be funded through a combination of up to $138 million of cash held in trust by Galileo, reduced by any redemptions, and $75 million in aggregate gross proceeds from the PIPE Investment that will close contemporaneously with the Closing of the Business Combination, assuming minimal redemptions. As of June 30, 2021, Shapeways had $6.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. After giving effect to these transactions, Shapeways could receive up to $194.0 million in proceeds, which will be used for general corporate purposes, including advancement of product development and growth efforts, but may also be used to acquire other companies in the digital manufacturing industry. Shapeways has not entered into any agreements to acquire companies in the digital manufacturing industry, nor is it engaged in discussions to make such an acquisition.

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP.

Under this method of accounting, Galileo is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of Shapeways issuing stock for the net assets of Galileo, accompanied by a recapitalization, and the historical financial statements of Shapeways will become the historical financial statements of Galileo upon the closing of the Business Combination.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. Shapeways business and operations have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as have the businesses and operations of our customers and the markets in which they operate. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and continues to cause significant business and financial markets disruption worldwide and there is significant uncertainty around the duration of this disruption and its ongoing effects on our business. While we demonstrated revenue growth for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, management believes growth could have been higher if not for the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our revenue decreased by 5% for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily attributable to the demand declines that started in early March 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to experience several adverse impacts, including extended sales cycles to obtain new customers, delays in shipping due to closed facilities and travel limitations, reduced

236

TABLE OF CONTENTS

customer demand for our products, including lower order values beginning in March 2020 and throughout 2020, and delays in collecting accounts receivable. In addition, in order to keep our manufacturing facilities operating, we have experienced an increased spend on personal protective equipment (PPE), maintaining facilities, enhanced cleaning and other costs to adhere to COVID-19 operating rules, including a software application for checking COVID-19 symptoms of essential personnel. Due to COVID-19 related disruptions, we have experienced increased logistics costs, such as shipping, and certain of our major materials vendors were unable to fill our orders in a timely manner or at all. Also related to the pandemic, we repurposed our Long Island City manufacturing facility in the spring and summer of 2020 so as to be able to create PPE such as face shields, ventilator parts and hands-free door handles for our essential workers in New York City. In addition, businesses across an array of vertical markets have reduced their budgets as they seek to preserve liquidity, which in turn led to reductions in orders during 2020. A continued or resurgent COVID-19 pandemic may contribute to facility closures at our facilities, third-party manufacturing partners and key suppliers, particularly in geographies that are experiencing resurgences such as India, which could cause delays and disruptions in manufacturing or otherwise affect our ability to deliver finished products to our customers in a timely manner. Although many of our suppliers experienced disruptions at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, currently, many of these disruptions are being mitigated by our use of alternative suppliers. Disruptions in the capital markets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic may also adversely affect our business if these disruptions continue for a prolonged period and we need to seek additional capital.

Shapeways has taken, and will continue to take, actions to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. Shapeways is managing the variable portion of its cost structure to better align with revenue, including external marketing spend, which has been significantly reduced during this period of disruption, but began to increase in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, earlier in the COVID pandemic, Shapeways had reduced hiring across all departments within Shapeways, but it has resumed hiring at projected levels. Shapeways also implemented other cost-cutting measures such as reducing discretionary spending, reducing our reliance on third-party recruiters and taking advantage of the employer tax credit provisions of the CARES Act (as defined below). In the long-term, Shapeways believes that the COVID-19 pandemic will encourage organizations to reassess their supply chain structure and may accelerate their adoption of solutions such as ours, which could allow for greater flexibility and a reduced reliance on traditional outsourced manufacturing.

Shapeways continues to monitor its operations and government recommendations and has modified its operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic, including requiring all non-operations-related team members to work remotely, utilizing heightened cleaning and sanitization procedures at our manufacturing facilities, implementing new health and safety protocols at those facilities and reducing non-essential travel. Shapeways does not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on our business and operations. Given the extant uncertainty, Shapeways cannot reasonably estimate the impact on our future results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. See “Risk Factors — Industry Risks — The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business and results of operations. The duration and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to adversely impact our business and results of operations remains uncertain and could be material.”

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

Shapeways believe that its performance and future success depend on many factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including the following:

Commercial Launch of New Offerings

Shapeways is planning to launch several new manufacturing technologies, materials, and finishes. Prior to commercialization, Shapeways must complete testing and manufacturing ramp-up either in house or through our network of third-party manufacturing partners. Any delays in the successful completion of these steps or the results of testing may impact Shapeways’ ability or the pace at which Shapeways will generate revenue from these offerings. Shapeways is also planning to launch its software offering to third-party manufacturers, which involves additional activities such as creating awareness of the new offering and ensuring the software can interoperate with systems used by potential customers.

Even if Shapeways successfully introduce these new offerings, there is no assurance that they will be accepted by the broad market.

237

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Adoption of Our Digital Manufacturing Solutions

Shapeways believes that the market is shifting toward digitization of manufacturing and approaching an inflection point in the overall adoption of digital manufacturing solutions. Shapeways believes that it is well-positioned to take advantage of this market opportunity across an array of industries due to its platform that combines high-quality, flexible, on-demand manufacturing with purpose-built proprietary software. Shapeways expects that its results of operations, including revenue and gross margins, will fluctuate for the foreseeable future as businesses continue to shift away from traditional manufacturing processes towards digital manufacturing. The degree to which current and potential customers recognize the benefits of the digitization of manufacturing and the use our solutions in particular will affect our financial results.

Pricing, Product Cost and Margins

To date, the majority of Shapeways’ revenue has been generated by the manufacturing and sales of additively-manufactured end parts.

Shapeways has not generated significant revenue from its planned new offerings. Going forward, Shapeways expects to further commercialize its software, which Shapeways expects will provide those software customers with an end-to-end software for their manufacturing operations and to expand the manufacturing capabilities that they offer to their customers.

Software and manufacturing pricing may vary due to market-specific supply and demand dynamics, customer size, and other factors. Sales of certain products, such as software, have, or are expected to have, higher gross margins than others. As a result, Shapeways’ financial performance depends, in part, on the mix of offerings Shapeways sells during a given period. In addition, Shapeways is subject to price competition, and its ability to compete in key markets will depend on the success of its investments in its offerings, on cost improvements as well as on its ability to efficiently and reliably introduce cost-effective digital manufacturing solutions for our customers.

Continued Investment and Innovation

Shapeways believes that it is a leader in digital manufacturing solutions, offering high-quality, flexible, on-demand manufacturing coupled with purpose-built proprietary software. Shapeways’ performance is significantly dependent on the investment we make in our software development efforts and in new digital manufacturing technologies. It is essential that Shapeways continually identifies and respond to rapidly evolving customer requirements, develop and introduce innovative new offerings, enhance existing solutions and generate customer demand for our offerings. Shapeways believes that investment in its digital manufacturing solutions will contribute to long-term revenue growth, but may adversely affect our near-term profitability.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

The majority of Shapeways’ revenue results from the sales of products that we manufacture for customers. Manufacturing product revenue is recognized upon shipment of the manufactured product to its customer.

During 2019 and 2020, approximately 18% and 24% of Shapeways’ revenue was designated as “Marketplace Sales”. This revenue is from Shapeways’ customers who sell their products that Shapeways manufactures for them through Shapeways e-commerce website. Sales through this channel are subject to Shapeways’ regular manufacturing fees and also a 3.5% fee on any price markup the customer includes on their product. See Note 3 to Shapeways’ audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Shapeways also expects to generate revenue from software. Software revenue is recognized (i) upon implementation for implementation fees, (ii) ratably over the term of the agreement for licensing fees, and (iii) upon order processing for the revenue-sharing component of our arrangements. To date, Shapeways has not recognized a material amount of revenue from software since this product offering has been limited to only design partners as we develop the complete product offering.

238

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Cost of Revenue

Shapeways’ cost of revenue consists of the cost to produce manufactured products and related services. Cost of revenue includes machine costs, material costs, rent costs, personnel costs, and other costs directly associated with manufacturing operations in Shapeways’ factories as well as amounts paid to its third-party contract manufacturers and suppliers. Shapeways’ cost of revenue also includes depreciation and amortization of equipment, cost of spare or replacement machine parts, machine service costs, shipping and handling costs, and some overhead costs. Shapeways expects cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars in the future.

Once Shapeways commercialize its software offering and if we generate material revenue from sales of its software offering, it will separately recognize the related cost of revenue.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Shapeways’ gross profit and gross margin are, or may be, influenced by a number of factors, including:

•

Market conditions that may impact our pricing;

•

Product mix changes between established manufacturing product offerings and new manufacturing product offerings;

•

Product mix changes;

•

Mix changes between products we manufacture in house and through outsourced manufacturers;

•

Shapeways’ cost structure, including rent, materials costs, machine costs, labor rates, and other manufacturing operations costs; and

•

Shapeways’ level of investment in new technologies.

Research and Development

Shapeways’ research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related personnel expenses, consulting and contractor costs, and SaaS, data center, and other technology costs. Shapeways expects research and development costs will increase on an absolute dollar basis over time as Shapeways continues to invest in our software offering.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs for individuals working in our sales and marketing departments, third party consultants, marketing costs such as search engine marketing and search engine optimization and other advertising costs, as well as personnel-related expenses associated with our executive, finance and accounting, legal, human resources, and supply chain functions, as well as professional fees for legal, audit, accounting and other consulting services.

Shapeways expects its sales and marketing costs will increase on an absolute-dollar basis as it expands its headcount, initiate new marketing campaigns, and launch its software offering.

Shapeways expects its general and administrative expenses will increase on an absolute-dollar basis as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses necessary to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on a national securities exchange and related to compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, as well as increased expenses for insurance (including director and officer insurance), investor relations, and other administrative and professional services. In addition, Shapeways expects to incur additional costs as we hire additional personnel and enhance its infrastructure to support the anticipated growth of the business.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with Shapeways’ term loan and its bridge loan.

239

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Shapeways files consolidated income tax returns in the United States and in various state jurisdictions. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Where applicable, we record a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred tax assets that it determines will not be realizable in the future.

Due to Shapeways’ cumulative losses, Shapeways maintains a valuation allowance against our U.S. and state deferred tax assets.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Revenue

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,						Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2021			2020			$			%
Revenue		$	17,638		$	14,921		$	2,717		18%

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $17.6 million and $14.9 million, respectively, representing an increase of $2.7 million, or 18%. The increase in revenue was attributable to an increase in revenue from manufacturing more products at a higher average price per product, in each case as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

This increase was primarily due to increased customer demand, resulting in 8% more products shipped. Additionally, Shapeways has continued to optimize our pricing algorithm and mix of technology offerings, resulting in 10% higher average price per product. Shapeways did not generate material revenue from software sales during either period.

Cost of Revenue

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,						Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2021			2020			$			%
Cost of Revenue		$	9,216		$	8,624		$	592		7%

Cost of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $9.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively, an increase of $0.6 million, or 7%.

The increase in cost of revenue was driven primarily by an 8% increase in part production, partially offset by a 1% reduction in cost per item produced.

Gross Profit (Loss) and Gross Margin

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,						Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2021			2020			$			%

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Gross profit during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $8.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively, representing an increase of $2.1 million, or 34%. The change in gross profit was primarily driven by an 8% increase in products shipped, at a 10% higher average price per item and a 1% lower average cost per item.

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,				Change
	2021		2020		Points		%
Gross Margin		48%		42%		5.54		13%

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $2.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 12.5%. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to a COVID-19-related hiring freeze, and decreases in discretionary spending, such as SaaS platforms, to maximize cash runway.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $6.1 million and $5.6 million, respectively, an increase of $0.5 million, or 9.5%. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to a 217% increase in marketing spending, such as branding and Search Engine Marketing, to drive growth, and an increase in audit and other spending to prepare for becoming a public reporting company, partially offset by savings due to the COVID-19-related hiring freeze, and decreases in other SG&A spending, such as rent and travel and entertainment.

Debt forgiveness

Debt forgiveness during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $2.0 million, relating to our Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) loan, which will be reversed when the Business Combination is completed and the PPP loan is repaid. The PPP loan was forgiven during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and we had no debt forgiveness during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The decrease resulted from an interest rate reduction on our term loan.

Income Taxes

Income tax benefit during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0.1 million. Shapeways received resolution of a tax assessment charge for 2019 in respect of our Dutch subsidiary, resulting in a refund during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and we had no income tax benefit during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Shapeways has provided a valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets as a result of our historical net losses in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Shapeways continue to assess our future taxable income by jurisdiction based on its recent historical operating results, the expected timing of reversal of temporary differences, various tax planning strategies that we may be able to enact in future periods, the impact of potential operating changes on its business and its forecast results from operations in future periods based on available information at the end of each reporting period. To the extent that Shapeways is able to reach the conclusion that deferred tax assets are realizable based on any combination of the above factors in a single, or multiple, taxing jurisdictions, a reversal of the related portion of its existing valuation allowances may occur.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

Revenue

	For the Year Ended December 31,						Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2020			2019			$			%
Revenue		$	31,775		$	33,511		$	(1,736)		(5)%

Total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $31.8 million and $33.5 million, respectively, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 5%. The decrease in total revenue was primarily attributable to the demand declines that started in early March 2020 due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Shapeways produced 8% fewer products in 2020 as compared to 2019, which was partially offset by a 3% higher average price per product.

Cost of Revenue

	For the Year Ended December 31,						Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2020			2019			$			%
Cost of Revenue		$	17,903		$	21,337		$	3,434		16%

Cost of revenue during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $17.9 million and $21.3 million, respectively, a decrease of $3.4 million or 16%. The decrease in cost of revenue was driven primarily by lower headcount in our factories, lower machine depreciation due to two machines becoming fully depreciated, and an 8% reduction in number of items manufactured, resulting in lower materials costs and other variable costs.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

	For the Year Ended December 31,						Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2020			2019			$			%
Gross Profit		$	13,872		$	12,174		$	1,698		14%

Gross profit during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $13.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively, an increase of $1.7 million or 14%. The increase in gross profit dollars resulted from selling 8% fewer products at a 3% higher average price per product and a 9% lower average cost per product, primarily due to labor and machine depreciation savings.

	For the Year Ended December 31,				Change
	2020		2019		Points		%
Gross Margin		44%		36%		7.34		20%

Research and Development

Research and development expenses during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $5.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively, an increase of $0.3 million, or 7%. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to increased salaries in the product and engineering departments to support the development of our software offering. These personnel expense increases were partially offset by reduced discretionary operating expense spend due to COVID-19.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $10.8 million and $13.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 18%. The decrease in selling, general

242

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and administrative expenses resulted from expense reductions in nearly every area of the business. We instituted a COVID-19 related hiring freeze, resulting in lower SG&A headcount in 2020 as compared to 2019, and reduced substantially our discretionary spending as a result of the pandemic.

Interest Expense

Interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, an increase of $0.1 million, or 9%. The increase in interest expense resulted from the interest accruals associated with Shapeways’ June 2019 bridge loan.

Income Taxes

Income taxes (benefit) during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was ($0) million and $0.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million. Shapeways received resolution of a tax assessment charge for 2019 in respect of our Dutch subsidiary, resulting in a refund.

As of December 31, 2020, Shapeways had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $90.7 million, of which $71.9 million will expire by 2038 if not utilized.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to Shapeways’ results determined in accordance with GAAP, Shapeways believes that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating our operational performance. Shapeways uses this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Shapeways believes that this non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance.

Shapeways defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus debt forgiveness, interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. In the future, Shapeways expects to report Adjusted EBITDA with an additional adjustment for stock based compensation expense.

Shapeways believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends because it eliminates the effect of financing and capital expenditures and provides investors with a means to compare its financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA Shapeways may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, Shapeways’ presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Shapeways compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Shapeways’ business.

The following table reconciles net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Shapeways has incurred a net loss in each of its annual periods since its inception. Shapeways incurred net losses of $3.2 million and $7.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, Shapeways had $6.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Historically, Shapeways has primarily obtained cash to fund its operations through preferred stock offerings and debt instruments. Shapeways expects it will continue to need further investment to support the growth of the business, continue development of its software, and support its operations.

Since inception through June 30, 2021, Shapeways has received cumulative net proceeds from the sale of its preferred and common stock of approximately $110 million to fund its operations.

In October 2018, Shapeways entered into a five-year, $5.0 million term loan. Interest is calculated using the Wall Street Journal Prime rate plus 25 basis points, payable monthly in arrears. If its domestic cash falls below $2.5 million, Shapeways will be in default under the loan agreement. In connection with this loan, Shapeways is also subject to periodic reporting requirements, and the lender has a first priority lien on all assets. Repayment terms included interest only payments for 12 months. Shapeways negotiated a three-month principal payment deferment in the second quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19. Shapeways expects to pay off this term loan in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination.

In June 2019, Shapeways received a $5.0 million bridge loan from existing investors. The loan bears interest at 8% annually. The loan will convert into Shapeways’ Series E Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series E liquidation preference immediately prior to the Closing of the Business Combination.

In May 2020, Shapeways received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $2.0 million under the PPP. The PPP, established as part of the CARES Act, provided for loans to qualifying businesses. Although the PPP loan has been forgiven, Shapeways plans to repay the loan in its entirety upon the Closing.

Shapeways believes that its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs for the twelve months following the issuance date of its consolidated financial statements. Its ability to transition to more profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenue adequate to support its evolving cost structure. If events or circumstances occur such that Shapeways does not meet its operating plan as expected, Shapeways will be required to reduce corporate overhead or other operating expenses, which could have an adverse impact on its ability to achieve intended business objectives or obtain additional financing. If Shapeways anticipates that its actual results will differ from its operating plan, Shapeways believes it will have sufficient capabilities to enact cost savings measures to preserve capital. There can be no assurance that Shapeways will be successful in implementing its business objectives, however, Shapeways believes that external sources of funding will be available in such circumstances.

Shapeways expects to continue to incur net losses in connection with its ongoing activities, particularly as Shapeways invests in hiring, growth-related operating expenditures, and capital expenditures in respect of new digital manufacturing technologies. Additionally, Shapeways may engage in future acquisitions. As noted in the “Recent Developments” section above, Shapeways entered into a Merger Agreement with Galileo. Shapeways expects that it will receive up to $195 million in cash as a result of the transaction, depending on the level of redemptions, which Shapeways expects will support its operations and investments in the near term.

Assuming the Closing occurs, following the Business Combination, Shapeways intends to use the funds from the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of any redemptions) and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment to cover fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination and for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures.

Additionally, Shapeways expects to use a portion of the proceeds to purchase $20.0 million of materials from Desktop Metal, to repay Shapeways’ unsecured $1.9 million PPP loan and to reduce Shapeways’ outstanding obligations under Shapeways’ (i) term loan, which matures on October 29, 2022, and, as of June 30, 2021, had an outstanding principal amount of $2.5 million, bearing interest at an annual rate of 3.5% and (ii) loan agreement with the landlord for its manufacturing facility in Eindhoven, which matures on September 30, 2024, and, as of June 30, 2021, had an outstanding principal amount of $0.1 million, bearing

interest at an annual rate of 8.5%. In addition, a portion of the funds from the Trust Account and the proceeds from any PIPE Investment may be used to acquire complementary businesses, products, services or technologies. However, Shapeways does not have agreements or commitments to enter into any acquisitions at this time.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth a summary of cash flows for the periods presented:

	For the six months ended June 30,						For the years ended December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2021			2020			2020			2019
Net cash used in operating activities		$	(1,464)		$	(2,473)		$	(1,593)		$	(6,901)

Net change in cash and cash equivalent and restricted cash		$	(2,434)		$	(1,040)		$	(965)		$	(3,012)

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities of $1.1 million was primarily driven by an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million, driven by higher revenue and gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $(0.1) million and $0 million, respectively. The increase of $0.1 million in cash used by investing activities was primarily due capital expenditures associated with the lease end purchase of two machines in 2021.

Shapeways expects its capital expenditures in 2021 to be limited to spending associated with building out its industrial metals offering, which we estimate to be approximately $6.3 million. Shapeways may revise its capital expenditures budget to reflect cash provided by the Business Combination in order to meet strategic objectives, including potentially acquiring companies in the digital manufacturing industry.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $(0.8) million and $1.4 million, respectively, in each case related primarily to payments on Shapeways’ outstanding indebtedness.

Cash Flows for the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

Operating Activities

Net cash used for operating activities during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The decrease of $5.3 million in cash used for operating activities resulted primarily from a decrease in operating expenses, resulting in a decrease in Shapeways’ net loss of $3.8 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The change of $0.05 million in cash used for investing activities was primarily due to decreased capital expenditures for equipment due to decreased customer demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

245

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities of $3.3 million was primarily the difference between the $5.0 million Bridge Loan Shapeways obtained in 2019 and the $2.0 million PPP loan Shapeways obtained in 2020, as well as a full year of debt principal payments under its term loan, which Shapeways obtained in Q4 2018 and on which Shapeways started making principal payments in Q4 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Shapeways has no off-balance sheet arrangements and do not utilize any “structured debt,” “special purpose” or similar unconsolidated entities for liquidity or financing purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

Shapeways’ discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain of Shapeways’ accounting policies require the application of judgment in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Shapeways periodically evaluates the judgments and estimates used for its critical accounting policies to ensure that such judgments and estimates are reasonable for its interim and year-end reporting requirements. These judgments and estimates are based on its historical experience (where available), current trends and information available from other sources, as appropriate. If different conditions result from those assumptions used in its judgments, the results could be materially different from Shapeways’ estimates. Shapeways believes the following critical accounting policy requires significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition

Shapeways recognizes revenue from sale of products (both direct sales and marketplace sales) upon transfer of control, which is generally at the point of shipment.

Shapeways’ software contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple software elements to the customer. Revenue from sale of software may be recognized over the life of the associated software contract or as services are performed, depending on the nature of the services being provided. Judgment is required to determine the separate performance obligations present in a given contract, which Shapeways has concluded are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Shapeways uses standalone selling price (SSP) to allocate revenue to each performance obligation. Significant judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation in a contract.

Shapeways provides a platform for shop owners to sell their products to customers through Shapeways’ marketplace website. Shapeways receives a 3.5% markup fee from the shop owner upon the sale of any products through the marketplace. Shapeways handles the financial transaction, manufacturing, distribution and customer service on behalf of the shop owners. Shapeways is responsible for billing the customer in this arrangement and transmitting the applicable fees to the shop owner. Shapeways assesses whether it is responsible for providing the actual product or service as a principal, or for arranging for the product or service to be provided by the third party as an agent. Judgment is applied to determine whether Shapeways is the principal or the agent by evaluating whether it has control of the product or service prior to it being transferred to the customer. The principal versus agent assessment is performed at the performance obligation level. Indicators that Shapeways considers include whether it has the primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified product or service to the customer and whether it has inventory risk prior to transferring the product or service to the customer. Shapeways has the responsibility to fulfill the promise to provide the specific good or service on behalf of the shop owners to the customer. In addition, Shapeways has inventory risk before the specific good or service is transferred to a customer. As such, Shapeways is deemed the principal and shall recognize revenue on a gross basis for the price it charges to the shop owner for each product or service.

Stock-Based Compensation

Shapeways has applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation to account for the stock-based compensation for employees and non-employees. Shapeways recognizes compensation costs related to stock options granted to employees and non-employees based on estimated fair value of the award on the date of grant. Described below is the methodology Shapeways has utilized in measuring stock-based compensation expense.

Determining the amount of stock-based compensation to be recorded requires us to develop estimates of the fair value of stock-based awards as of their measurement date. Shapeways recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period of the award. Calculating the fair value of stock-based awards requires that Shapeways makes highly subjective assumptions. Shapeways uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards Use of this valuation methodology requires that Shapeways makes assumptions as to the volatility of its common stock, the fair value of its common stock on the measurement date, the expected term of its stock options, the risk free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of its stock options and its expected dividend yield. Because Shapeways is a privately held company, Shapeways utilizes data from a representative group of publicly traded companies to estimate the expected stock price volatility. Shapeways selected representative companies from the additive manufacturing industry with characteristics similar to it. Shapeways uses the simplified method as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment as Shapeways does not have sufficient historical stock option activity data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term of stock options granted to employees and non-employees. Shapeways utilizes a dividend yield of zero based on the fact that Shapeways has never paid and are not expected to pay cash dividends. The risk-free interest rate used for each grant is an interpolated rate to match the term assumption based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve as of the valuation date.

Determination of the fair value of Common Stock on Grant Dates

There has been no public market for Shapeways’ equity instruments to date, as a result, the estimated fair value of its common shares has historically been determined by a third party appraisal. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the fair value of the combined entity’s common stock will be determined based on the quoted market price of the entity’s common stock. Shapeways engaged an independent third-party valuation specialist to perform contemporaneous valuations of its common shares in connection with each of its convertible preferred stock issuances and otherwise at least once annually. The valuations were performed in accordance with the guidance outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The independent third-party valuation specialist considered all objective and subjective factors that it believed to be relevant for each valuation conducted in accordance with AICPA’s Practice Aid, including its best estimate of its business condition, prospects, and operating performance at each valuation date. Other significant factors included:

•

The rights and preferences of Shapeways’ preferred stock as compared to those of its common stock, including liquidation preferences of preferred stock;

•

Shapeways’ results of operations and financial position;

•

Shapeways’ stage of development and business strategy and the material risks related to its business and industry;

•

The composition of, and changes to, Shapeways’ management team and board of directors;

•

The lack of liquidity of Shapeways’ common stock;

•

The valuation of publicly-traded peer companies; and

•

The likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the holders of Shapeways’ common stock and stock options, given prevailing market conditions.

The dates of Shapeways’ contemporaneous valuations have not always coincided with the date of its stock option grants. In determining the exercise prices of the stock options, Shapeways’ board of directors

247

TABLE OF CONTENTS

considered, among other things, the most recent contemporaneous valuation of Shapeways’ common stock and their assessment of additional objective and subjective factors that were relevant as of the grant dates. These factors include the current operating performance of the company, assumptions regarding the future operating performance of the company, and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event in the capital markets. If Shapeways had made different assumptions, its stock-based compensation expense, net loss, and net loss per share applicable to common stockholders could have been materially different.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 of Shapeways’ consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Shapeways is exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition. Shapeways seeks to minimize these risks through regular operating and financing activities and, if Shapeways considers it to be appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Shapeways does not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. For additional information on its variable rate debt, refer to the notes to Shapeways’ unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Interest Rate Risk

Shapeways has exposure to interest rate risk from its variable rate debt. Shapeways does not hedge its exposure to changes in interest rates. At June 30, 2021, Shapeways had approximately $2.6 million in variable rate debt outstanding. A 10% change in interest rates would have an immaterial impact on annualized interest expense. Additionally, Shapeways expects to pay off its term loan in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination.

Composition of the Board of Directors

The Company’s business affairs will be managed under the direction of the Board. Subject to the terms of the Proposed Charter and Bylaws, the number of directors will be fixed by the Company’s Board. The

250

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company’s Board will initially consist of six members, divided into three classes of staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of its stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the same class whose term is then expiring, as follows:

•

the Class I directors, Robert Jan Galema and Ryan Kearny;

•

the Class II directors, Alberto Recchi and Patrick S. Jones; and

•

the Class III directors, Josh Wolfe and Greg Kress.

When considering whether directors and director nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Company’s Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of its business and structure, the Company’s Board expects to focus primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above in order to provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of its business.

Director Independence

The Board will initially consist of six members, five of whom will qualify as independent within the meaning of the independent director guidelines of NYSE. One director will not be considered independent.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s Common Stock will be listed on NYSE. Under the rules of NYSE, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of NYSE require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the rules of NYSE, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the rules of NYSE. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the rules of NYSE.

In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of NYSE, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of NYSE, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the member of the compensation committee is independent, including a consideration of all factors specifically relevant to determining whether the director has a relationship to the company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to: (i) the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the company to such director; and (ii) whether such director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company.

The Galileo Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director has a material relationship that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, Galileo anticipates that Josh Wolfe, Robert Jan Galema, Patrick S. Jones, Alberto Recchi and Ryan Kearny will be considered “independent directors” as defined under the listing requirements and rules of NYSE and the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

Committees of the Company Board

The Company Board will have an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. All of the committees will comply with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, NYSE and SEC rules and regulations as further described below. The responsibilities of

Jones serving as chair. The parties have affirmatively determined that each expected member of the audit committee qualifies as independent under NYSE rules applicable to board members generally and under NYSE rules and Exchange Act Rule 10A-3 specific to audit committee members. All expected members of the Company’s audit committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable NYSE rules. In addition, the parties also believe that Mr. Jones will qualify as the “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K. The written charter for the audit committee will be available on the Company’s corporate website at www.Shapeways.com upon the completion of the Business Combination.

The written charter for the compensation committee will be available on the Company’s corporate website at www.Shapeways.com upon the completion of the Business Combination. The information on any of the Company’s websites is deemed not to be incorporated in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus or to be part of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

The information on any of the Company’s websites is deemed not to be incorporated in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus or to be part of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Code of Ethics

The Company will have a code of ethics that applies to all of its executive officers, directors and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics will be available on the Company’s corporate website at www.Shapeways.com upon the completion of the Business Combination. The Company intends to make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of its code of ethics on its website rather than by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K. The information on any of the Company’s websites is deemed not to be incorporated in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus or to be part of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Risk Oversight

The Board is responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk management process. The Board focuses on the Company’s general risk management strategy, the most significant risks facing us, and oversees the implementation of risk mitigation strategies by management.

Galileo is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and the following is intended to comply with the scaled back disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies. No executive officer of Galileo has received any cash compensation for services rendered to Galileo, although Galileo may pay consulting, finder or success fees to its officers, directors, stockholders or their affiliates for assisting it in consummating its initial business combination. These officers, directors and stockholders will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on Galileo’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses, performing business due diligence on suitable target businesses and business combinations, as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants, or similar locations of prospective target businesses to examine their operations. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by Galileo.

After the Business Combination, members of Galileo’s management team who remain with the Combined Company may be paid consulting, management, or other fees from the Combined Company. Such compensation will be publicly disclosed at the time of its determination in a current report on Form 8-K, to the extent required by the SEC.

Since its formation, Galileo has not granted any stock options or stock appreciation rights or any other awards under long-term incentive plans to any of its executive officers or directors.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Galileo Equity Compensation Plans

As of December 31, 2020, Galileo had no equity compensation plans or outstanding equity awards.

Shapeways Executive Officer and Director Compensation

To achieve Shapeways’ goals, Shapeways has designed its compensation and benefits program to attract, retain, incentivize and reward deeply talented and qualified executives who share its philosophy and desire to work towards achieving these goals. Shapeways believes its compensation program should promote the success of Shapeways and align executive incentives with the long-term interests of its stockholders. Shapeways’ current compensation programs reflect its startup origins in that they consist primarily of salary and bonuses, as well as awards of stock and for the grant of options to purchase stock.

Shapeways’ board of directors (the “Shapeways Board”), with input from its Chief Executive Officer, has historically determined the compensation for Shapeways’ executive officers. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Shapeways’ named executive officers were Gregory Kress, Chief Executive Officer, Miko Levy, Chief Revenue Officer, and Jennifer Walsh, Chief Financial Officer.

This section provides an overview of Shapeways’ executive compensation programs, including a narrative description of the material factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the summary compensation table below.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2010 Stock Plan

The Shapeways Board adopted, and Shapeways’ stockholders approved, the 2010 Stock Plan in 2010. Each of the named executive officers hold options under the 2010 Stock Plan, as described below.

If the Incentive Plan is approved by Galileo’s shareholders, as described in Proposal 12 above, it is expected that the 2010 Stock Plan will be terminated and no further awards will be granted under the 2010 Stock Plan after the consummation of the Business Combination.

The following describes the terms of the 2010 Stock Plan.

Grants, Generally. The 2010 Stock Plan provides both for the direct award or sale of shares and for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”). ISOs may be granted only to Shapeways’ employees. All other awards may be granted to employees, outside directors and consultants of Shapeways.

The maximum number of shares of Shapeways common stock that may be issued over the term of the 2010 Stock Plan is 16,942,546 shares. As of June 30, 2021, stock options to purchase 7,925,120 shares of Shapeways’ common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.44 per share were outstanding under the 2010 Stock Plan. There were no outstanding awards under the 2010 Stock Plan other than these options.

Administration. The Shapeways’ Board, or a committee delegated by the Shapeways Board, administers the 2010 Stock Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2010 Stock Plan, the administrator has the power to, among other things, determine the eligible persons to whom, and the times at which, awards will be granted, to determine the terms and conditions of each award (including the number of shares subject to the award, the exercise or purchase price of the award, and when the award will vest and, as applicable, become exercisable), to modify or amend outstanding awards, or accept the surrender of outstanding awards and substitute new awards, to accelerate the time(s) at which an award may vest or be exercised, and to construe and interpret the terms of the 2010 Stock Plan and awards granted thereunder.

Options. Shapeways’ employees and service providers have historically received stock options pursuant to the 2010 Stock Plan. Each of the named executive officers has been granted a mix of ISOs and NSOs. See the “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2020 Fiscal Year End” table below for further information about Shapeways’ named executive officers’ outstanding options as of December 31, 2020.

The exercise price per share of options granted under the 2010 Stock Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value per share of Shapeways’ common stock on the grant date. Subject to the provisions of the 2010 Stock Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of options, including any vesting and exercisability requirements, the method of payment of the option exercise price, the option expiration date, and the period following termination of service during which options may remain exercisable.

Changes to Capital Structure; Corporate Transactions. In the event of certain changes to Shapeways’ capital structure, such as a stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, appropriate adjustments will be made to (a) the number of shares available for issuance under the 2010 Stock Plan, and (b) the number of shares covered by and, as applicable, the exercise price and the kind of underlying security of each outstanding award granted under the 2010 Stock Plan. In the event Shapeways is party to a corporate transaction (as defined in the 2010 Stock Plan), the Shapeways Board or committee administering the 2010 Stock Plan may take one or more of the following actions to provide for: (i) the continuation of the options by Shapeways (if Shapeways is the surviving corporation), (ii) the assumption or substitution of options by the successor or surviving corporation, (iii) upon written notice, the termination of unexercised options prior to the reorganization event, (iv) the cancellation and purchase of outstanding options for an amount equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise of the option and sale of the underlying stock had such option been currently exercisable, or (v) the cancellation of such outstanding options.

Plan Amendment or Termination. The Shapeways Board may amend, modify, or terminate the 2010 Stock Plan at any time. The Shapeways Board must obtain stockholder approval of any plan amendment to the extent required.

“Change in Control” as defined in Mr. Kress’s offer letter means (a) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of Shapeways with or into another entity or (b) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Shapeways. The foregoing notwithstanding, a merger or consolidation of Shapeways does not constitute a “Change in Control” if immediately after the merger or consolidation a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the continuing or surviving entity, or any direct or indirect parent corporation of the continuing or surviving entity, will be owned by the persons who were Shapeways’ stockholders immediately prior to the merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the voting power of Shapeways’ capital stock immediately prior to the merger or consolidation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accelerate the vesting of the shares underlying the Kress options, the Walsh options and the Levy options so that, effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, each of the Kress options, the Walsh options and the Levy options will be vested in full. As a condition to such vesting acceleration and as a material inducement for the Company to enter into the Employment Agreements (the terms of which are described in the section titled “Shapeways Executive Officer and Director Compensation Following the Business Combination — Employment Agreements”), Mr. Kress, Ms. Walsh and Mr. Levy have agreed to retain all, and to not sell or transfer any, of their existing options under the 2010 Stock Plan or any shares received upon exercise of such options through the earlier of (x) December 31, 2022 and (y) a Change in Control (as defined in the Incentive Plan).

Shapeways Director Compensation

Shapeways currently has no formal arrangements under which directors receive compensation for their service on the Shapeways Board or its committees. Mr. Kress does not receive additional compensation for his services as a director.

Following consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company intends to implement a compensation policy for its non-employee directors. Such policy will include an annual cash retainer for all non-employee directors, in addition to equity grants determined by the compensation committee and reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings. See the section titled “Shapeways Executive Officer and Director Compensation Following the Business Combination — Director Compensation” for the proposed terms of the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy.

Shapeways Executive Officer and Director Compensation Following the Business Combination

Executive Compensation

The policies of the Combined Company with respect to the compensation of its executive officers following the Business Combination are expected to be administered by the Company Board in consultation with its compensation committee. The Combined Company may also rely on data and analyses from third parties, such as compensation consultants, in connection with its compensation programs. The Combined Company intends to design and implement programs to provide for compensation that is sufficient to attract, motivate and retain executives of the Combined Company and potentially other individuals and to establish an appropriate relationship between executive compensation and the creation of stockholder value.

Employment Agreements

Each of the Key Executives has entered into an Employment Agreement with the Combined Company, effective as of the Closing and conditioned upon ( i ) the consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) the Key Executive’s continued employment with Shapeways until the Closing. Messrs. Kress and Levy and Ms. Walsh will each continue his or her role as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. Mr. Kress will report to the Company Board and Mr. Levy and Ms. Walsh will report to the Chief Executive Officer. The principal location of their services will be in New York City.

Mr. Kress will receive an annual base salary of $385,000 (increased from $350,000), Mr. Levy will receive an annual base salary of $300,000 (increased from $250,000) and Ms. Walsh will receive an annual base salary of $357,500 (increased from $325,000). Each Key Executive’s annual base salary rate may be increased but not decreased, unless such decrease is made across the board to other senior executives of the Company. The Company Board or its compensation committee will review each Key Executive’s annual base salary rate at least annually, with the intent to establish compensation levels consistent with competitive market standards, taking into account the growth of the Company over time.

Pursuant to the terms of each Key Executive Employment Agreement, the Key Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual incentive bonus plan, as in effect from time to time (the “Company Bonus Plan”). For each fiscal year commencing with 2021, the annual target bonus opportunity under the Company Bonus Plan for Messrs. Kress and Levy and Ms. Walsh will be 90%, 65% and 50%, respectively, of his or her annual base salary rate, with a maximum bonus opportunity for any fiscal year equal to 200% of his

261

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or her target opportunity. Each Key Executive will be eligible to earn the full bonus for 2021, calculated using his or her annual base salary rate as if such rate were in effect for the full year.

The performance measures under the Company Bonus Plan will be established by the compensation committee and, absent extraordinary circumstances, will be communicated to the Key Executive in the first quarter of the fiscal year for which the bonus is measured. The performance measures and targets under the Bonus Plan will be subject to adjustment by the compensation committee in case of extraordinary nonrecurring events, such as those described under relevant accounting rules, or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to shareholders for the applicable year, or as a result of applicable tax law or accounting rule changes. Bonuses, if earned, will be payable in the fiscal year immediately following the fiscal year for which the bonus is earned, subject to the compensation committee’s determination of the achievement of the applicable performance measures. Payments under the Company Bonus Plan will generally be subject to continued employment through the applicable payment date (except in case of certain qualifying terminations, described below).

For 2021 and 2022, annual incentive bonuses will be conditioned on achievement of gross margin and revenue growth goals. If the gross margin goal is not satisfied, then no bonus will be payable for such year. If the gross margin goal is satisfied, then the amount of the Key Executive’s bonus for such year will be determined based on achievement of the revenue growth goal, as follows:

(a)

The threshold revenue growth target will be 60% of budgeted target, meaning that if revenue growth is below such threshold target, no bonus for such year will be payable;

(b)

Between 60% and 100% achievement of the revenue growth target (i.e., between threshold and target achievement), the amount of the bonus for such year will be determined on a linear interpolation basis between 0% and 100% payment of target bonus; and

(c)

Between 100% and 150% (or greater) achievement of the revenue growth target (i.e., between target and maximum achievement), the amount of the bonus for such year will be determined on a linear interpolation basis between 100% and 200% payout of target bonus.

The Company Board or its compensation committee will review each Key Executive’s annual target and maximum bonus opportunities at least annually, with the intent to establish compensation levels consistent with competitive market standards, taking into account the growth of the Company over time. The value of each Key Executive’s annual target and maximum bonus opportunities may be increased but not decreased, unless such decrease is made across the board to other senior executives of the Company.

Each Key Executive Employment Agreement provides that if the Company terminates the Key Executive’s employment without Cause or if the Key Executive terminates his or her employment for Good Reason, the Key Executive will be entitled to (i) six months of salary continuation at the Key Executive’s then-current base salary, (ii) a prorated portion of the actual bonus the Key Executive would have received under the Company Bonus Plan had his or her termination not occurred, (iii) any unpaid bonus that would have been payable under the Company Bonus Plan for any fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which termination occurs had the Key Executive remained employed through the applicable payment date (the “Prior Year Bonus”), and (iv) should the Key Executive elect COBRA coverage, the Company will continue its contribution to the premium cost of the Key Executive’s coverage and that of his or her eligible dependents until the earlier of (x) the six -month anniversary of the Key Executive’s termination date and (y) the date the Key Executive begins new employment that offers group health coverage.

However, if the Key Executive’s termination occurs on or within 12 months following a consummation of a Change in Control (as generally defined in the Incentive Plan), then in lieu of the payments described above, the Key Executive will be entitled to (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to 12 months of base salary at the Key Executive’s then-current base salary rate, (ii) a prorated portion of the Key Executive’s target bonus, (iii) the Prior Year Bonus, (iv) 12 months of COBRA contributions as described above and (v) immediate vesting in full of all service-vesting conditions of all of the Key Executive’s then outstanding equity or equity-based incentive awards, it being understood that any such outstanding awards that are also subject to satisfaction of performance-vesting conditions will remain outstanding and will continue to be eligible to vest subject to the satisfaction of such conditions based on the actual results of the applicable financial or other metrics and will be payable on the regular payment dates as per the terms of the applicable award agreement; provided that any

262

TABLE OF CONTENTS

individual performance goals that are not based on objective financial performance criteria will be deemed earned at target as of the date of termination; provided, further, that if the individual award agreement or other contract between the Company and the Key Executive governing any such award provides for more favorable vesting treatment, then the more favorable treatment will apply to such award.

If the Key Executive’s employment terminates due to his or her death or is terminated by the Company due to disability, the Key Executive (or his or her heirs or estate, as applicable) will be eligible to receive (i) the Prior Year Bonus and (ii) a prorated portion of the bonus the Key Executive would have received under the Company Bonus Plan had the termination not occurred, based on actual performance results for such year.

Severance benefits are conditioned upon and subject to (i) the Key Executive’s execution of a general waiver and release of claims, (ii) compliance with restrictive covenants and (iii) resignation from all offices, boards, committees and any other offices or positions of the Company or its affiliates. Additionally, the Company Board and its compensation committee will cooperate in good faith to review and evaluate the Key Executive’s severance benefits on a periodic basis to take into account the growth of the Company’s business over time.

“Cause” is defined as (i) willful and continued failure to substantially perform duties with the Company or its affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness); (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the execution of duties under the Employment Agreement; (iii) conviction of, or a plea of nolo contendere to, a crime of serious moral turpitude that causes material harm to the business or prospects of the Company or its affiliates, (iv) conviction of, or a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony (or the equivalent thereof in a jurisdiction other than the United States); (v) material breach of the Employment Agreement, the proprietary information and inventions agreement or any other material written agreement between the Key Executive and the Company or any of its affiliates; (vi) performance of any material act of theft, embezzlement, fraud or misappropriation, in each case with respect to the property of the Company or one of its affiliates; or (vii) any material breach of the material, written personnel policies of the Company or one of its affiliates, including those prohibiting acts of discrimination, harassment or retaliation. The events described in clauses (i), (ii) and (v) above will not constitute Cause unless the Company notifies the Key Executive in writing within 30 days following the Company Board’s actual knowledge of the event giving rise to Cause and the Key Executive has failed to cure the circumstances giving rise to Cause within 30 days following such notice.

“Good Reason” means, without the Key Executive’s consent: (i) a reduction in the Key Executive’s annual base salary or annual incentive opportunity, unless such reduction is made across the board to other senior executives of the Company and does not exceed 10% of the Key Executive’s then current annual base salary or annual incentive opportunity, as applicable; (ii) a material diminution in the Key Executive’s title, reporting relationship, authority, duties or responsibilities (other than temporarily while physically or mentally incapacitated or as required by applicable law); (iii) relocation of the Key Executive’s principal place of employment by more than 25 miles outside of New York City (unless the Key Executive is provided the opportunity, and the Key Executive consents, to work remotely); or (iv) the Company’s failure to pay compensation when due or other breach of the Employment Agreement or any other material written agreement between the Key Executive and the Company or any of its affiliates.

Mr. Kress has entered into the Non-Competition Agreement, to become effective as of the Closing. In addition, each of the Key Executives have entered into a proprietary information and inventions agreement with the Combined Company, effective as of the Closing, which contains (i) customary invention assignment and confidentiality provisions and (ii) non-compete and non-solicit covenants for 12 months post-termination of employment.

Equity Compensation

As discussed above under Proposal 12 (Incentive Plan Proposal) and Proposal 13 (ESPP Proposal), the Galileo Board is expected to approve and adopt the Incentive Plan and the ESPP, which, subject to the approval of Galileo’s shareholders, would authorize the grant of equity awards and stock purchases, respectively, to eligible individuals, including the named executive officers, following the consummation of the Business Combination. Under the Merger Agreement, subject to the approval of the Incentive Plan by Galileo’s

263

TABLE OF CONTENTS

shareholders, the named executive officers would receive the Purchaser Earnout RSUs and Transaction Bonus RSUs under the Incentive Plan, as described above under Proposal 12 (Incentive Plan Proposal).

In addition, under the Employment Agreements, each Key Executive will be eligible to receive annual grants of long-term compensation under the Incentive Plan as determined by the Company Board or its compensation committee. Such grants will be made at the same time as for other senior executive officers of the Company, and will be subject to such terms and conditions (including vesting, which may be service-based or performance-based) as may be determined by the Company Board or its compensation committee.

In early 2022, pursuant to their Employment Agreements, each Key Executive will be eligible to receive, subject to the approval of the Company Board or its compensation committee, an RSU award under the Incentive Plan, with respect to a number of shares equal to 0.5% in the case of Mr. Kress, 0.2% in the case of Mr. Levy and 0.3% in the case of Ms. Walsh, of the then outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis. These RSUs will be subject to (a) vesting over four years from the date of grant, as to 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, respectively, in each case, subject to the Key Executive’s continued employment with the Company through each applicable vesting date, and (b) such other terms and conditions to be set forth in an award agreement provided to the Key Executive.

Director Compensation

The Board will adopt a compensation policy for its non-employee directors to be in effect after the completion of the Business Combination (the “Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy”). The Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy will be designed to align compensation with the Combined Company’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling the Combined Company to attract, retain, incentivize and reward non-employee directors who contribute to the long-term success of the Combined Company. The Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy will provide for an annual cash retainer for all non-employee directors as described below, equity grants determined by the compensation committee as described below, and reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings. The Company Board expects to review non-employee director compensation periodically to ensure that non-employee director compensation remains competitive such that the Combined Company is able to recruit and retain qualified directors.

Cash Compensation

•

Each non-employee director will receive an annual cash retainer of $35,000.

•

A non-executive chairperson will be paid an additional annual cash retainer of $30,000.

•

To the extent the Company Board appoints a director as “lead independent director” (if not the chairperson), such director will be paid an additional annual cash retainer of $17,500.

•

Directors will receive an additional annual cash retainer, as set forth below, for their service on Company Board committees as follows:

Committee	Chairperson			Member
Audit		$	20,000		$	10,000
Compensation		$	12,000		$	6,000
Nominating and Governance		$	8,000		$	4,000

•

All cash retainers will be paid in arrears in quarterly installments within 30 days after the fiscal quarter end.

Equity Compensation

Directors will receive RSU awards under the Incentive Plan or any successor plan, subject to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan and the applicable restricted stock unit agreement.

Annual Grant. Commencing with the Company’s first annual meeting of stockholders, each director will receive an RSU award having a value of $125,000. The date of grant for the annual grant will be the date of the annual meeting of stockholders. The number of shares subject to the annual grant will be determined

264

TABLE OF CONTENTS

using the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Subject to the director’s continuing service, the service-based requirement will be satisfied on the earlier of (A) the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders or (B) the one-year anniversary of the date of grant.

Initial Grant. Each director whose appointment or nomination as a member of the Company Board occurs after the Closing will receive in connection with such appointment or nomination an RSU award having a value of $215,000. The date of grant for an initial grant will be the date of the director’s appointment or nomination. The number of shares subject to the initial grant will be determined using the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Subject to the director’s continuing service, the service-based requirement will be satisfied in equal annual installments over a three-year period, and the vesting date in each year will be the anniversary of the date of grant (or if there is no corresponding date, the last date of the month).

Upon a transaction constituting a “Change in Control” as defined in the Incentive Plan, the service-based requirement applicable to outstanding equity awards granted pursuant hereto will be deemed satisfied in full upon the effective date of such transaction.

Mr. Kress will not receive additional compensation for his services as a director.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Galileo Related Party Transactions

As of September 30, 2019, Galileo’s sponsor loaned Galileo an aggregate of $61,452 on a non-interest bearing basis for payment of offering expenses on our behalf. The loan is payable on the earlier of March 31, 2020 or the date on which Galileo consummate its IPO. The loan was repaid out of the proceeds of this offering not being placed in the Trust Account.

Galileo Founders Holdings, L.P. has agreed that, commencing on the date of IPO through the earlier of Galileo’s consummation of Galileo’s initial business combination or Galileo’s liquidation, it will make available to Galileo certain general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and secretarial support, as Galileo may require from time to time.

Galileo entered into the Administrative Services Agreement, commencing on October 17, 2019 through the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the Galileo’s liquidation, to pay Ampla Capital, LLC, an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer a monthly fee of approximately $3,000 for general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and secretarial support. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, Galileo incurred and paid $9,000 and $9,000 in fees for these services, respectively.

On October 22, 2019, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, Galileo completed the Private Placement of an aggregate of 4,110,000 Private Placement Warrants, 3,562,000 of which were issued to Galileo Founders Holdings, L.P. and 548,000 of which were issued to EBC generating aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $4,110,000. These private warrants were purchased in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the purchase of units resulting from the exercise of the over-allotment option. In addition, for as long as the private warrants are held by EBC or its designees or affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years from the effective date of the IPO registration statement.

In connection with the Business Combination, on April 26, 2021, Galileo entered into capital markets advisory agreements (the “Capital Markets Advisor ELs”) with Needham and with Craig Hallum, pursuant to which a capital markets advisory fee (collectively, the “Capital Markets Advisory Fees”) will be payable to each of Needham and Craig Hallum at, and contingent upon, the Closing. The Capital Markets Advisory Fees, in aggregate, will constitute 25% of the EBC Transaction Fee pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Capital Markets Advisor with Needham, at the Closing, Needham will be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses not to exceed $10,000 (including fees and disbursements to legal counsel). Accordingly, Needham and Craig Hallum have an interest in Galileo completing the Business Combination because, if the Business Combination or another

266

TABLE OF CONTENTS

business combination, is not consummated, Needham and Craig Hallum will not receive the Capital Markets Advisory Fees and Needham will not be reimbursed for expenses pursuant to its Capital Markets Advisor EL with Galileo.

Shapeways’ Related Party Transactions

In addition to the compensation arrangements, including employment, termination of employment, and change in control arrangements and indemnification arrangements, discussed, when required, in the sections titled “Management of the Company Following the Business Combination” and “Executive Compensation” and the registration rights described in the section titled “Description of Securities,” the following is a description of each transaction since January 1, 2018 and each currently proposed transaction in which:

On or around August 2012, Shapeways entered into a promissory note (the “Weijmarshausen Promissory Note”) with its then-chief executive officer, Peter Weijmarshausen, bearing interest equal to the greater of (a) 0.88% per annum or (b) the mid-term Applicable Federal Rate under Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code in effect during the time the note is outstanding, pursuant to which Shapeways loaned Mr. Weijmarshausen $175,000, which amount would become due and payable, together with interest accrued thereunder, on the earlier of August 2017 or the consummation of a “Liquidation Event” as defined in Shapeways’ Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Mr. Weijmarshausen is the current chairman of the Shapeways Board of Directors but is no longer an officer of Shapeways. On August 25, 2017, Shapeways and Mr. Weijmarshausen amended the terms of the Weijmarshausen Promissory Note to extend the maturity date to August 10, 2020. On July 28, 2020, Shapeways and Mr. Weijmarshausen again amended the terms of the Weijmarshausen Promissory Note to extend the maturity date to August 10, 2021, and on or around August 10, 2020, Mr. Weijmarshausen paid to Shapeways $50,000 in respect of outstanding interest and principal under the Weijmarshausen Promissory Note. On September 1, 2021, Shapeways and Mr. Weijmarshausen entered into an agreement pursuant to which Mr. Weijmarshausen forfeited 23,184 shares of Shapeways Common Stock to Shapeways in full satisfaction of all outstanding interest and principal due under the Weijmarshausen Promissory Note. Mr. Weijmarshausen has no further obligations under the Weijmarshausen Promissory Note.

Sales of Convertible Promissory Notes

In June 2019, Shapeways sold convertible promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount of $5 million. In December 2020, Shapeways entered into an amendment which extended the maturity date of the convertible promissory notes to June 19, 2021. Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, each convertible promissory note will be converted into shares of Shapeways’ Series E Preferred Stock, and in connection with the Shapeways Preferred Stock Exchange, each share of Shapeways’ Series E Preferred Stock will convert automatically into one share of Shapeways Common Stock. At the Closing,

Sales of Series E Preferred Stock

In April 2018, Shapeways sold an aggregate of 6,570,938 shares of its Series E Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $3.4858 per share (before giving effect to discount on conversion of then-outstanding convertible promissory notes into Series E Preferred Stock) to accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price (including cancellation of then-outstanding convertible promissory notes) of approximately $21.6 million. In connection with the Shapeways Preferred Stock Exchange, each share of Shapeways’ Series E Preferred Stock will convert automatically into one share of Shapeways Common Stock. At the Closing, holders of Shapeways Common Stock will receive a number of shares of newly-issued Common Stock of the Combined Company equal to the Stockholder Merger Consideration.

Indemnification Agreements

Shapeways has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors and purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The indemnification agreements, Shapeways’ amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and its bylaws, as amended and currently in effect, require Shapeways to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

The Proposed Charter, which will be effective upon the completion of the Business Combination, will contain provisions limiting the liability of directors, and the Bylaws, which will be effective upon the completion of the Business Combination, will provide that the post-combination company will indemnify each of its directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

The indemnification agreements will provide that the post-combination company will indemnify each of its directors, executive officers and such other key employees against any and all expenses incurred by that director, executive officer or other key employee because of his or her status as one of the post-combination company’s directors, executive officers or other key employees, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the Proposed Charter and Bylaws. In addition, the indemnification agreements will provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the Combined Company will advance all expenses incurred by its directors, executive officers, and other key employees in connection with a legal proceeding involving his or her status as a director, executive officer or key employee.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company will adopt a written related person transaction policy that sets forth the following policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions.

A “Related Person Transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which the Combined Company or any of its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Combined Company’s total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “Related Person” means:

•

any person who is, or at any time during the applicable period was, one of the Combined Company’s officers or one of the Combined Company’s directors;

All of the transactions described in this section were entered into prior to the adoption of this policy.

Certain of the foregoing disclosures are summaries of certain provisions of our related party agreements, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to all of the provisions of such agreements. Because these descriptions are only summaries of the applicable agreements, they do not necessarily contain all of the information that you may find useful.

The following table and accompanying footnotes sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of (i) Galileo, as of August 2, 2021, prior to the Business Combination, and (ii) the Company, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, assuming that no ordinary shares are redeemed “non redemption” and, alternatively, that 11,340,931 ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination “max redemption”:

•

each person who will become an executive officer or director of the Combined Company upon consummation of the Transactions and all of such executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Except as described in the footnotes below and subject to applicable community property laws and similar laws, we believe that each person listed above has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares.

Beneficial ownership of ordinary shares pre-Business Combination is based on 17,400,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of August 2, 2021.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock immediately following completion of the Business Combination assumes two scenarios:

•

Assuming Minimum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no Public Shareholders of Galileo exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares.

•

Both scenarios assume that, at the Closing, an estimated 34,683,923 shares of Galileo Common Stock will be issued to the Shapeways Stockholders, based on the number of shares of Shapeways outstanding on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis as of August 2, 2021 and assuming that, on or prior to the Closing: (i) all of the outstanding Shapeways Convertible Notes have been converted into shares of Shapeways, (ii) all of the Shapeways Options outstanding as of August 2, 2021 that, by their terms would expire prior to the anticipated Closing Date have been exercised in full prior to their expiration or forfeiture, (iii) all of the Shapeways Warrants outstanding as of August 2, 2021 have been exercised in full for shares of Shapeways common stock and (iv) the Shapeways Preferred Stock Exchange has been completed. This estimated number of shares

272

TABLE OF CONTENTS

includes an estimated 3,468,392 shares of Common Stock that, after the Closing will be subject to the Earnout Terms, and will be delivered into escrow at the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Both scenarios also assume the issuance and sale of 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock to the PIPE Investors upon consummation of the PIPE Investment.

The beneficial ownership information below: (i) assumes conversion in full of the Sponsor Note for 500,000 Sponsor Warrants at the Closing but excludes the shares underlying the Public Warrants, the Private Warrants and the Sponsor Warrants; (ii) excludes the shares of Common Stock expected to be reserved for issuance or grant pursuant to the Incentive Plan and the ESPP; (iii) excludes shares of Common Stock underlying securities to be issued to holders of Shapeways Options at the Closing (including shares of Common Stock underlying Purchaser Options, and Purchaser Earnout RSUs) and (vi) excludes shares of Common Stock underlying the Transaction Bonus RSUs to be issued to certain Shapeways executives at the Closing, in each case, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Based on the foregoing assumptions, we estimate that there would be 58,893,923 shares of Galileo Common Stock issued immediately following the consummation of the business combination in the “no redemption” scenario, and 47,552,992 shares of Galileo Common Stock issued immediately following the consummation of the business combination in the “maximum redemption” scenario. If the actual facts are different from the foregoing assumptions, ownership figures in the combined company and the columns under “Assuming No Redemption” and “Assuming Maximum Redemption” in the table that follows will be different.

Unless otherwise noted in the footnotes to the following table, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their beneficially owned securities.

Except as indicated in the footnotes to the table, each of the security holders listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to ordinary shares or Common Stock owned by such shareholders.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Description of Galileo Securities Prior to the Domestication and the Business Combination

General

Galileo is currently authorized to issue 200,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 each, and 2,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.0001 each. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, 17,400,000 ordinary shares are issued and outstanding. No preference shares are issued or outstanding.

276

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Ordinary Shares

Galileo shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. In connection with any vote held to approve Galileo’s initial business combination, all of Galileo’s initial shareholders, as well as its officers and directors and underwriters, have agreed to vote any ordinary shares held by them in favor of the proposed business combination.

Galileo will only proceed with the business combination if it has net tangible assets (after redemption) of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of such business combination and a majority of the ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination. At least ten (10) clear days’ notice (meaning 10 days’ notice, excluding the day when the notice is received or deemed to be received and the day for which it is given or which it is to take effect) must be given for each general meeting (although Galileo will provide whatever minimum number of days are required under Federal securities laws). Shareholders may vote at meetings in person or by proxy.

The current Galileo Board consists of six directors and is divided into two classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to Galileo’s first annual meeting of its shareholders) serving a two-year term. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result being that the holders of more than 50% of the shares eligible to vote for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Pursuant to the Current Charter, if Galileo does not consummate a business combination by October 22, 2021, or such later date if extended, Galileo will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to Galileo to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest that Galileo may use to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Galileo’s remaining shareholders and the Galileo Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to Galileo’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Public Shareholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the Ordinary Shares, except that Public Shareholders have the right to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash in an amount equal to their pro rata share of the Trust Account if the business combination is completed. Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares for their portion of the Trust Account still have the right to exercise the Public Warrants that they received as part of the Units.

The outstanding Ordinary Shares include 150,000 Representative Shares issued by Galileo to designees of EBC for nominal consideration in connection with the IPO. The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without Galileo’s prior consent until the completion of the initial business combination. In addition, in connection with Galileo’s IPO, and in order to induce the Underwriter and Galileo to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the holders of the Representative Shares agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if Galileo fails to complete the initial business combination within 21 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 24 months if a definitive agreement with respect to a proposed business combination has been executed within 21 months). Holders of the Representative Shares have certain registration rights pursuant to the Founders Registration Rights Agreement described elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Preference Shares

Galileo’s Current Charter authorizes the issuance of 2,000,000 preference shares with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Galileo Board. Accordingly, subject to

277

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the rules of the NYSE and any applicable regulatory authority the Galileo Board is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preference shares with dividend, liquidation, redemption, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Ordinary Shares. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, no preference shares have been issued or registered. Galileo may issue some or all of the preference shares to effect a business combination. However, the Underwriting Agreement prohibits Galileo, prior to a business combination, from issuing preference shares which participate in any manner in the proceeds of the Trust Account, or which votes as a class with the Ordinary Shares on a business combination. In addition, the preference shares could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of Galileo. Although Galileo does not currently intend to issue any preference shares, there can be no assurance that Galileo will not do so in the future.

Redeemable Warrants

Each redeemable warrant (which includes public warrants and private warrants, to the extent they are no longer held by the initial holders of the private warrants or their permitted transferees) entitles the registered holder to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of the completion of an initial business combination and (12 months from the date of the IPO. Except as set forth below, no warrants will be exercisable for cash unless Galileo has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within 90 days from the consummation of the initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when Galileo shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act provided that such exemption is available. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The redeemable warrants will expire five years from the consummation of the initial business combination at 5:00 p.m., New York City time.

Galileo may call redeemable warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $.01 per warrant:

•

at any time while the warrants are exercisable,

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder,

•

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders, and

•

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the redeemable warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a redeemable warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s redeemable warrant upon surrender of such redeemable warrant.

The redemption criteria for Galileo’s redeemable warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide holders of redeemable warrants a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing share price and the redeemable warrant exercise price so that if the share price declines as a result of Galileo’s redemption call, the redemption will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the redeemable warrants.

If Galileo calls the redeemable warrants for redemption as described above, Galileo’s management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise redeemable warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the redeemable warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the redeemable warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of

278

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares for the 20 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of redeemable warrants. Whether Galileo will exercise its option to require all holders to exercise their redeemable warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the price of its ordinary shares at the time the redeemable warrants are called for redemption, its cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive share issuances.

The redeemable warrants were issued in registered form pursuant to a Warrant Agreement which provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval, by written consent or vote, of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding warrants in order to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders.

The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable on exercise of the redeemable warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or Galileo’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. In addition, if Galileo issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share, the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial business combination on the date of the consummation of the initial business combination (net of redemptions), and the weighted average trading price of Galileo’s ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which Galileo consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of each redeemable warrant will be adjusted such that the effective exercise price per full share will be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the price at which Galileo issues the additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities. This may make it more difficult for Galileo to consummate an initial business combination with a target business.

The redeemable warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Warrant Agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The holders of redeemable warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive ordinary shares. After the issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

Except as described above, no warrants will be exercisable and Galileo will not be obligated to issue ordinary shares unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the ordinary shares have been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, Galileo has agreed to use its best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, Galileo cannot assure you that it will be able to do so and, if Galileo does not maintain a current prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and Galileo will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the ordinary shares is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, Galileo will not be required to net cash settle or cash settle the warrant exercise, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants may expire worthless.

Warrant holders may elect to be subject to a restriction on the exercise of their warrants such that an electing warrant holder (and his, her or its affiliates) would not be able to exercise their warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, such holder (and his, her or its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person who acquires a warrant with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of Galileo, or in connection with

279

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, immediately upon such acquisition will be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the underlying Ordinary Shares and not be able to take advantage of this provision.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share (as a result of a subsequent share dividend payable in Ordinary Shares, or by a split up of the Ordinary Shares or other similar event), Galileo will, upon exercise, round up or down to the nearest whole number the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the warrant holder.

Contractual Arrangements with respect to the Certain Warrants

Galileo has agreed that so long as the Private Placement Warrants are still held by the initial purchasers or their affiliates, Galileo will not redeem such warrants and Galileo will allow the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis (even if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective). However, once any of the foregoing warrants are transferred from the initial purchasers or their affiliates, these arrangements will no longer apply. Furthermore, because the Private Placement Warrants were issued in a private transaction, the holders and their transferees are allowed to exercise the Private Placement Warrants for cash even if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective and receive unregistered ordinary shares.

Dividends

Galileo has not paid any cash dividends on its ordinary shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon its revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of a business combination. The payment of any dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of Galileo’s then board of directors. It is the present intention of the Galileo Board to retain all earnings, if any, for use in its business operations and, accordingly, the Galileo Board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent for Galileo’s ordinary shares and warrant agent for Galileo’s warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004.

Listing of Galileo’s Securities

Galileo’s units, ordinary shares and warrants are traded on the NYSE under the symbols “GLEO.U,” “GLEO”, and “GLEO WS”, respectively. At the closing of the Business Combination, the units will separate into their component shares and warrants so that the units will no longer exist as separate securities and will no longer trade separately under “GLEO.U.” There can be no assurance that Galileo securities will continue to be listed on the NYSE following the Business Combination as the Company might not meet certain continued listing standards.

COMPARISON OF THE RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF ORDINARY SHARES AND COMMON STOCK

Certain Differences in Corporate Law

Companies incorporated in the Cayman Islands are governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Act. The Cayman Islands Companies Act differs from laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. A description of the differences between the laws of the Cayman Islands and Delaware law are set forth in the section entitled “Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After the Domestication.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Memorandum and Articles of Association

Galileo’s Current Charter contains provisions designed to provide certain rights and protections to its shareholders prior to the completion of a Business Combination. The following are the material rights and protections contained in the Current Charter:

•

the right of Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights and redeem or have repurchased their shares in lieu of participating in a proposed business combination;

•

a prohibition against completing a business combination unless Galileo has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon completion of such business combination;

•

a requirement that directors may call general meetings on their own accord and are required to call a general meeting if holders of not less than 20% in par value of the issued shares request such a meeting;

•

a prohibition, prior to a business combination, against Galileo issuing (i) any Ordinary Shares or (ii) any other securities which participate in or are otherwise entitled in any manner to any of the proceeds in the Trust Account or which vote as a class with the Public Shares on a business combination;

•

a requirement that Galileo management take all actions necessary to liquidate the Trust Account in the event Galileo does not complete a business combination by October 22, 2021; and

•

a limitation on shareholders’ rights to receive a portion of the Trust Account.

Cayman Islands law permits a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands to amend its memorandum and articles of association with the approval of a special resolution, being the approval of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares as of the applicable record date that are present and vote at a general meeting. A company’s memorandum and articles of association may specify that the approval of a higher majority is required but, provided the approval of the required majority is obtained, any Cayman Islands company may amend its memorandum and articles of association regardless of whether its memorandum and articles of association provides otherwise. Accordingly, although Galileo could amend any of the provisions relating to its structure and business plan which are contained in its Current Charter, Galileo views all of these provisions as binding obligations to its shareholders and neither Galileo, nor its officers or directors, will take any action to amend or waive any of these provisions prior to the completion of an initial business combination.

Capital Stock of the Combined Company after the Business Combination

The following summary sets forth the material terms of Combined Company’s securities following the completion of the Business Combination. The following summary of the material terms of Combined Company’s securities following the Business Combination is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. The full text of the Proposed Charter and Bylaws are attached as Annex A and Annex B, respectively, to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. You are encouraged to read the applicable provisions of DGCL, the Proposed Charter and Bylaws in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of Combined Company’ securities following the Business Combination.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

The Proposed Charter authorizes the issuance -of 130,000,000 shares, of which 120,000,000 shares will be shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares will be shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

After giving effect to the Business Combination and based on the number of Ordinary Shares and warrants issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, the Combined Company will have issued and outstanding approximately 34,683,923 shares of Common Stock (including Earnout Shares, and 31,215,531 shares of Common Stock, excluding Earnout Shares) and 18,410,000 Warrants to purchase Common Stock (assuming that there are no warrants to purchase Shapeways Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and no New Purchaser Warrants issued at the Closing and excluding any Earnout Warrants).

281

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Common Stock

Voting. Holders Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to the stockholders for their vote or approval. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote.

Dividends. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, as and if declared by the Company Board out of legally available funds.

Liquidation Rights. Upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Combined Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in those of the Company’s assets that are legally available for distribution to stockholders after payment of liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding.

Pre-Emptive or other Subscription Rights. Holders of Common Stock will not have any pre-emptive or other subscription rights.

Preferred Stock

The Combined Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares will be shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Company Board will be authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by DGCL and the Proposed Charter, to determine the terms and conditions of the preferred stock, including whether the shares of preferred stock will be issued in one or more series, the number of shares to be included in each series and the powers (including the voting power), designations, preferences and rights of the shares. The Company Board also will be authorized to designate any qualifications, limitations or restrictions on the shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Combined Company and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of Common Stock, which could have a negative impact on the market price of the Common Stock. The Combined Company has no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Warrants

Upon completion of the Business Combination, all of the warrants to purchase Galileo Ordinary Shares will pursuant to their terms be automatically adjusted to represent the right to purchase an equal number of shares of the Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as the original warrants. See the section titled “Description of Securities — Description of Galileo Securities Prior to the Domestication and the Business Combination — “Redeemable Warrants” and “Description of Securities — Description of Galileo Securities Prior to the Domestication and the Business Combination — Contractual Arrangements with respect to the Certain Warrants” for terms and conditions of the warrants.

Exclusive Forum

The Proposed Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Combined Company to the Combined Company or the Combined Company’ stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Combined Company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Charter or the Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. In addition, if an action is brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel.

The Proposed Charter provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of the Company’s capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing choice of forum provision.

282

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Proposed Charter provides further that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. The clauses described above will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the Proposed Charter and Bylaws

The provisions of the Proposed Charter and Bylaws and of the DGCL summarized below may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider in your best interest, including an attempt that might result in your receipt of a premium over the market price for your shares of Common Stock.

The Proposed Charter and Bylaws will contain certain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Company Board and that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a future takeover or change in control of the Combined Company unless such takeover or change in control is approved by the Company Board.

These provisions include:

Action by Written Consent; Meetings of Stockholders. The Proposed Charter provides that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual meeting of stockholders and cannot be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Proposed Charter and Bylaws also provide that, subject to any special rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock and except as otherwise required by applicable law, meetings of the stockholders can only be called by the Chairman of the Company Board, the Combined Company’s Chief Executive Officer or by the majority of the Company Board. Except as described above, stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to require the Company Board to call a special meeting.

Advance Notice Procedures. The Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, and for stockholder nominations of persons for election to the Company Board to be brought before an annual or Meeting of stockholders. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Company Board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given the Combined Company’ Secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business or nomination before the meeting. Although the Bylaws will not give the Company Board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, as applicable, the Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Combined Company.

Authorized but Unissued Shares. The Combined Company’s authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to rules of the securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions, in connection with the redemption or exchange of the Combined Company’ Warrants and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of Combined Company’ common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Business Combinations. The Combined Company is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in the following prescribed manner:

•

prior to the time of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

283

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; and

•

on or subsequent to the time of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual meeting stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662∕3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, for purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, owned 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting securities.

Such provisions may encourage companies interested in acquiring Combined Company to negotiate in advance with the Company Board because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the Company Board approves either the business combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. However, such provisions also could discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders. These provisions also may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Staggered Board of Directors. The Proposed Charter provides that the Company Board will be classified into three classes of directors of approximately equal size. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of the Company Board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual meetings.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The Bylaws will limit the liability of the Combined Company’s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and provides that the Combined Company will provide them with customary indemnification and advancement and prepayment of expenses. The Combined Company expects to enter into customary indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and directors that provide them, in general, with customary indemnification in connection with their service to Combined Company or on its behalf.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004

Registration Rights Agreements

On October 17, 2019, Galileo entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Founder Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Sponsor and EBC, the holders of Galileo’s insider shares and Representative Shares, as well as the holders of the Private Warrants (and underlying securities) and any securities issued to its initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of working capital loans made to Galileo are entitled to registration rights. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that Galileo registers such securities. The holders of the majority of the insider shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Representative Shares, the Private Warrants (and underlying securities) and securities issued in payment of working capital loans (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after Galileo consummates a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed

284

TABLE OF CONTENTS

subsequent to Galileo’s consummation of a business combination. Galileo will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. EBC and/or its designees may only make a demand registration (i) on one occasion and (ii) during the five year period beginning on October 17, 2019, the effective date of the registration statement for Galileo’s initial public offering. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the founders’ units or units issued to the Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of working capital loans made to us (in each case, including the underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after Galileo consummates a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, EBC and/or its designees may participate in a “piggy-back” registration only during the seven year period beginning on October 17, 2019, the effective date of the registration statement for Galileo’s IPO. Galileo will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. The terms of the registration statement have been amended so that the rights thereunder are pro rata to those granted to the PIPE Investors and the securityholders of Shapeways in connection with the Business Combination, described below.

In connection with the Business Combination, other parties are being granted registration rights with respect to Galileo Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement to be entered prior to the Closing as further described in the following sections of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus: “Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Registration Rights Agreement.”

Listing of Common Stock and Warrants

Galileo intends to apply for the listing of Combined Company’s Common Stock and warrants on the NYSE following the completion of the Business Combination under the symbols “SHPW” and “SHPW WS,” respectively.

Dividends

Galileo has not paid any cash dividends on Ordinary Shares to date and does not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. Following the Business Combination, the payment of cash dividends will be dependent upon the Combined Company’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition and will be within the discretion of the Company Board.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Public Shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or under the DGCL.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

Unless Galileo has received contrary instructions, Galileo may send a single copy of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if Galileo believes the stockholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce Galileo’s expenses. However, if stockholders prefer to receive multiple sets of Galileo’s disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the stockholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another stockholder and together both of the stockholders would like to receive only a single set of Galileo’s disclosure documents, the stockholders should follow these instructions:

If the ordinary shares are registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should contact Galileo’s offices at Galileo Acquisition Corp., 1049 Park Ave. 14A, New York, NY 10028. If a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the shareholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The transfer agent for Galileo’s Securities is the Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

The Galileo Board is aware of no other matter that may be brought before the extraordinary general meeting.

FUTURE PROPOSALS

For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in Galileo’s proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the stockholders at Combined Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, assuming consummation of the Business Combination, it must be submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and the Bylaws. Since the 2022 annual meeting would be Combined Company first annual meeting of stockholders, such proposals must be received by Combined Company at its offices at 30-02 48th Avenue, Long Island City, NY 11101, timely (as described in the paragraph below and the Bylaws appended as Annex B) before the Company begins to print and mail the 2022 annual meeting proxy materials in order to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2022 annual meeting.

In addition, if the Business Combination is consummated, the Bylaws provide notice procedures for stockholders to nominate a person as a director and to propose business to be considered by stockholders at a meeting. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to Combined Company at 30-02 48th Avenue, Long Island City, NY 11101, not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Nominations and proposals also must satisfy other requirements set forth in the Bylaws. The Company’s Board may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any stockholder proposal not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY

Galileo Acquisition Corp. is a Cayman Islands exempted company. If Galileo does not change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware by effecting the Domestication, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon Galileo. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments you may obtain in U.S. courts against Galileo in

286

TABLE OF CONTENTS

any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is doubt that the courts of the Cayman Islands would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws. However, Galileo may be served with process in the United States with respect to actions against Galileo arising out of or in connection with violation of U.S. federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of Galileo’s securities by serving Galileo’s U.S. agent irrevocably appointed for that purpose.

LEGAL MATTERS

Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, New York, New York, has passed upon the validity of the securities offered in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
Galileo Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Galileo Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, and for the period from July 30, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period from July 30, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Restatement of Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2A to the financial statements, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a public statement entitled Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “Public Statement”) on April 12, 2021, which discusses the accounting for certain warrants as liabilities. The Company previously accounted for its warrants as equity instruments. Management evaluated its warrants against the Public Statement, and determined that the warrants should be accounted for as liabilities. Accordingly, the financial statements have been restated to correct the accounting and related disclosure for the warrants.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete a business combination by October 22, 2021 then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Galileo Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 30, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation, the preparation of the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and since the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 17, 2019. On October 22, 2019, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 13,800,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,800,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $138,000,000 which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,110,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant in a private placement to Galileo Founders Holdings, L.P. (the “Sponsor”) and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBirdCapital”) and its designees, generating gross proceeds of $4,110,000, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $3,187,305, consisting of $2,760,000 of underwriting fees and $427,305 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 22, 2019, an amount of $138,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of approximately six months, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account ($10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares.

The Sponsor and the other initial shareholders (collectively, the “initial shareholders”) have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination; (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with respect to the Company’s pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to convert any Founder Shares (as well as any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company does not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the initial shareholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.

The Company will have until October 22, 2021 to consummate the proposed business combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, it will trigger the automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. If the Company is forced to liquidate, the amount in the Trust Account (less the aggregate nominal par value of the shares of the Company’s public shareholders) under the Companies Law (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Companies Law”) will be treated as share premium which is distributable under the Companies Law provided that immediately following the date on which the proposed distribution is proposed to be made, the Company is able to pay the debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. If the Company is forced to liquidate the Trust Account, the public shareholders would be distributed the amount in the Trust Account calculated as of the date that is two days prior to the distribution (including any accrued interest, net of taxes payable).

reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per share. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Going Concern

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until October 22, 2021 to consummate the proposed Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate the proposed Business Combination by this time. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company until one year from the issuance of these financial statements. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after October 22. The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company previously accounted for its outstanding Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with its Initial Public Offering as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. The warrant agreement governing the warrants includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant. In addition, the warrant agreement includes a provision that in the event of a tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a single class of common shares, all holders of the warrants would be entitled to receive cash for their warrants (the “tender offer provision”).

On April 12, 2021, the SEC released a Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (the “SEC Staff Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Staff Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our warrants. Following the SEC Staff Statement, the Company’s management further evaluated the warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. In addition, based on management’s

F-9

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management concluded the tender offer provision included in the warrant agreement fails the “classified in shareholders’ equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25.

As a result of the above, the Company should have classified the private warrants as derivative liabilities in its previously issued financial statements. Under this accounting treatment, the Company is required to measure the fair value of the warrants at the end of each reporting period and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s operating results for the current period.

The Company’s accounting for the private warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities did not have any effect on the Company’s previously reported operating expenses, cash flows or cash.

NOTE 2a. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 13,068,649 and 13,221,769 of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets, respectively.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in

the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the private warrants was estimated using a Binomial Lattice Model (see Note 8).

Cash

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 of approximately $625,000 and $712,000, respectively.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $3,187,305 were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. $4,078 of the offering costs were immediately expensed through the Statement of Operations in connection with the warrant liability.

Income Taxes

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the periods. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,910,000 ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

The Company’s statements of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income attributable to redeemable ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Non-redeemable

ordinary shares includes the Founder Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Note:

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, basic and diluted shares are the same as there are no securities that are dilutive to the shareholders.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation of $250,000. The Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the

F-16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

GALILEO ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

•

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 13,800,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,800,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share and one warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital and its designees purchased an aggregate of 4,110,000 Private Warrants at $1.00 per Private Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,110,000. The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 3,562,000 Private Warrants and EarlyBirdCapital and its designees purchased an aggregate of 548,000 Private Warrants. Each Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 7). The proceeds from the Private Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Warrants will expire worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Warrants.

F-17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants (i) will not be redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, so long as they are held by the initial purchaser or any of its permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. In addition, the Private Warrants may not be transferable, assignable or saleable until the consummation of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

In August 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,875,000 ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On October 17, 2019, the Company effected a share dividend of 0.2 of a share for each ordinary share in issue, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 3,450,000 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 450,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the initial shareholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Representative Shares (as defined in Note 7)). As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, 450,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until (i) with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier of one year after the completion of a Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after a Business Combination and (ii) with respect to the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, one year after the completion of a Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on October 17, 2019 through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, to pay Ampla Capital, LLC, an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer a monthly fee of approximately $3,000 for general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and secretarial support. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from July 30, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, the Company incurred and paid $36,000 and $9,000 in fees for these services, respectively.

Promissory Note — Related Party

The Company’s Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note (“Promissory Note”) was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the earlier of March 31, 2020 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note, in the outstanding amount of $93,798, was repaid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on October 22, 2019. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no amounts under the Promissory Note were outstanding.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Shareholders, the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds

from time to time or at any time, as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The Working Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,000,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.

On December 14, 2020, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “Note”). The Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Company may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Promissory Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. Up to $500,000 of the Note may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. The warrants would be identical to the Private Warrants. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance under the Note amounted to an aggregate of $500,000.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on October 17, 2019, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Warrants (and their underlying securities), Representative Shares (as a defined in Note 7) and any securities that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and their underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Representative Shares, Private Warrants (and underlying securities) and securities issued in payment of Working Capital Loans (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, EarlyBirdCapital and/or its designees may only make a demand registration (i) on one occasion and (ii) during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company engaged EarlyBirdCapital as an advisor in connection with a Business Combination to assist the Company in locating target businesses, holding meetings with its shareholders to discuss a potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing securities, assist the Company in obtaining shareholder approval for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with a Business

Combination. The Company will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $4,830,000, for such services only upon the consummation of a Business Combination. Of such amount, up to approximately 25% may be paid (subject to the Company’s discretion) to third parties who are investment banks or financial advisory firms not participating in Initial Public Offering that assist the Company in consummating its Business Combination. The election to make such payments to third parties will be solely at the discretion of the Company’s management team, and such third parties will be selected by the management team in their sole and absolute discretion. As of December 31, 2020, the above service had not been completed and accordingly, no amounts have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Additionally, the Company will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in the proposed Business Combination if it introduces the Company to the target business with which the Company completes a Business Combination; provided that the foregoing fee will not be paid prior to the date that is 90 days from the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, unless FINRA determines that such payment would not be deemed underwriters’ compensation in connection with the Initial Public Offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(c)(3)(B)(ii).

NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were 4,331,351 and 4,178,231 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 13,068,649 and 13,221,769 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, which includes the 2,887,500 Founder Shares not subject to forfeiture.

Warrants — The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 90 days from the consummation of a Business Combination, the holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise the Public Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act provided that such exemption is available. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

at any time while the Public Warrants are exercisable;

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Public Warrant holder;

•

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

F-20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

GALILEO ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

•

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a capitalization of shares, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below their exercise price or issuance of potential extension warrants in connection with an extension of the period of time for the Company to complete a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor, initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of a warrant will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issues the additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities.

Representative Shares

In August 2019, the Company issued to the designees of EarlyBirdCapital 125,000 ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”) for a nominal consideration. On October 17, 2019, the Company effected a share dividend of 0.2 of a share for each ordinary share in issue, resulting in EarlyBirdCapital holding an aggregate of 150,000 Representative Shares. The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an offering cost of the Proposed Offering, with a corresponding credit to shareholders’ equity. The Company estimated the fair value of Representative Shares to be $1,137 based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the Sponsor. The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA’s NASD Conduct Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement related to the Initial Public Offering, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement related to the Initial Public Offering except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Initial Public Offering and their bona fide officers or partners.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheet and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

At December 31, 2020, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $5,563 in cash equivalents and $139,152,937 in U.S. Treasury Bills at amortized cost. During the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.

At December 31, 2019, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $220 in cash and $138,414,259 U.S Treasury Bills, at amortized cost. During the period ended December 31, 2019, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value. The gross holding gains and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Assets:	Held-To-Maturity Securities	Level		Amortized Cost			Gross Holding Gains			Fair Value
December 31, 2020	U.S. Treasury Securities (Matured on 01/07/ 2021)(1)		1		$	139,152,937		$	2,063		$	139,155,000
December 31, 2019	U.S. Treasury Securities (Matured on 4/16/2020)		1		$	138,414,259		$	26,719		$	138,440,978

Liabilities:			Warrant Liabilities			Level						December 31, 2020						December 31, 2019
			Private Placement Warrants					3					$	3,452,400					$	1,972,800

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the balance sheet. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statement of operations.

Initial Measurement

The Company established the initial fair value for the private warrants on October 22, 2019, the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, using a Binomial Lattice Model. The Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs.

The key inputs into the Binomial Lattice Model for the Private Placement Warrants were as follows at initial measurement:

Input	October 22, 2019 (Initial Measurement)			December 31, 2019			December 31, 2020
Risk-free interest rate			1.61%			1.70%			0.28%
Dividend yield			0.00%			0.00%			0.00%
Implied volatility			7.3%			8.6%			15.4%
Exercise price		$	11.50		$	11.50		$	11.50
Market Stock Price		$	9.80		$	9.80		$	10.20

On October 22, 2019, the Private Placement Warrants were determined to be $0.33 per warrant for an aggregate value of $1.4 million.

Subsequent Measurement

The Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The subsequent measurement of the private warrants are performed using the Binomial Lattice Model.

As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate value of the Private Placement Warrants was $3.5 million.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities:

	Private Placement Warrants
Fair value as of October 22, 2019		$	—
Initial measurement on October 22, 2019 (IPO)			1,356,300
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions			616,500
Fair value as of December 31, 2019			1,972,800
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions			1,479,600
Fair value as of December 31, 2020		$	3,452,400

The Company recognizes transfers into and out of the fair value levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers into or out of the levels during the year ended December 31, 2020 or the period from July 30 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019.

NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

On April 28, 2021, Galileo Acquisition Corp., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Shapeways, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Shapeways”), Galileo Acquisition Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Galileo (“Merger Sub”), Galileo Founders Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sponsor”), in the capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Galileo (other than the Shapeways Securityholders) from and after the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”) (in such capacity, the “Purchaser Representative”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, in the capacity as the representative of the Shapeways Securityholders from and after the Closing of the Transaction (in such capacity, the “Seller Representative”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) prior to the Closing, Galileo will continue out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware to re-domicile and become a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and (ii) at the Closing of the Transaction, and following the Domestication and the PIPE Investment (defined below), Merger Sub will merge with and into Shapeways (the “Merger”), with Shapeways continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Galileo, and with each Shapeways stockholder receiving shares of Galileo common stock at the Closing (as further described below). Simultaneously with entering into the Merger Agreement, Galileo entered into Subscription Agreements (as defined below) with investors (“PIPE Investors”) to purchase a total of 7.5 million shares of Galileo common stock in a private equity investment (“PIPE”) in Galileo at $10.00 per share with aggregate gross proceeds to Galileo of $75,000,000. The PIPE Investors include certain existing Shapeways stockholders and a strategic investor that has entered into a commercial relationship with Shapeways.

The Merger Agreement contains customary conditions to Closing, including the following mutual conditions of the parties (unless waived): (i) approval of the shareholders of Galileo and Shapeways; (ii) approvals of any required governmental authorities and completion of any antitrust expiration periods; (iii) no law or order preventing the Transaction; (iv) the Registration Statement having been declared effective by the SEC; (v) the satisfaction of the $5,000,001 minimum net tangible asset test by Galileo; (vi) approval of the Galileo common stock for listing on NYSE; (vii) consummation of the Domestication; and (viii) reconstitution of the post-Closing board of directors as contemplated under the Merger Agreement.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Galileo and Shapeways entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with PIPE Investors for an aggregate for 7,500,000 shares of Galileo’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “PIPE Shares”), at a price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate of $75,000,000, in a private placement to be consummated simultaneously with the closing of the Transaction (the “PIPE Investment”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements is conditioned on the concurrent Closing and other customary closing conditions. Among other things, each PIPE Investor agreed in the Subscription Agreement that it and its affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in Galileo’s trust account held for its public stockholders, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the trust account (including any distributions therefrom). In addition, Shapeways granted certain customary resale registration rights to the PIPE Investors in the Subscription Agreements.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The Company has one subsidiary, Galileo Acquisition Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware on October 2, 2020 (“Merger Sub”) (see Note 6).

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, identifying a target company for a Business Combination, and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of Shapeways, Inc. (see Note 6). The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,110,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant in a private placement to Galileo Founders Holdings, L.P. (the “Sponsor”) and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBirdCapital”), generating gross proceeds of $4,110,000, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $3,187,305, consisting of $2,760,000 of underwriting fees and $427,305 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 22, 2019, an amount of $138,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of approximately six months, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a business combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a business combination. The Company’s initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a business combination. The Company will only complete a business combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a business combination.

(Unaudited)

The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a business combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account ($10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).

The Company will proceed with a business combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a business combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a business combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the business combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares.

The Sponsor and the other initial shareholders (collectively, the “initial shareholders”) have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a business combination; (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with respect to the Company’s pre-business combination activities prior to the consummation of a business combination unless the Company provides dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to convert any Founder Shares (as well as any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a business combination (or sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a business combination if the Company does not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. However, the initial shareholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its business combination.

The Company will have until October 22, 2021 to consummate the proposed business combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the Combination Period, it will trigger the automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. If the Company is forced to liquidate, the amount in the Trust Account (less the aggregate nominal par value of the shares of the Company’s public shareholders) under the Companies Law (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Companies Law”) will be treated as share premium which is distributable under the Companies Law provided that immediately following the date on which the proposed distribution is proposed to be made, the Company is able to pay the debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. If the Company is forced to liquidate

(Unaudited)

the Trust Account, the public shareholders would be distributed the amount in the Trust Account calculated as of the date that is two days prior to the distribution (including any accrued interest, net of taxes payable).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per share. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Going Concern

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until October 22, 2021 to consummate the proposed Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate the proposed Business Combination by this time. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these financial statements. If a business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after October 22, 2021. The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any business combination by October 22, 2021.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 13,800,000 and 13,068,649 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of $241,416 and $624,830, respectively.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting, and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $3,183,227 were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. $4,078 of the offering costs were immediately expensed through the Statement of Operations in connection with the warrant liability.

Warrant Liability

Income Taxes

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,910,000 ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

The Company’s statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income attributable to redeemable ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Non-redeemable ordinary shares include the Founder Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which at times, may exceed the $250,000 coverage provided by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation. The Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities (excluding warrants), which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the private warrants, which are classified as liabilities, was estimated using a Binomial Lattice Model (see Note 9).

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital and its designees purchased an aggregate of 4,110,000 Private Warrants at $1.00 per Private Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,110,000. The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 3,562,000 Private Warrants and EarlyBirdCapital and its designees purchased an aggregate of 548,000 Private Warrants. Each Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 8). The proceeds from the Private Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a business combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Warrants will expire worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Warrants.

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants (i) will not be redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, so long as they are held by the initial purchaser or any of its permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. In addition, the Private Warrants may not be transferable, assignable or saleable until the consummation of a business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

The initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until (i) with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier of one year after the completion of a business combination and the date on which the closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after a business combination and (ii) with respect to the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, one year after the completion of a business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a business combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on October 17, 2019 through the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the Company’s liquidation, to pay Ampla Capital, LLC, an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer a monthly fee of approximately $3,000 for general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and secretarial support. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company incurred and paid $18,000 in fees for these services.

Promissory Note — Related Party

The Company’s Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note (“Promissory Note”) was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the earlier of March 31, 2020 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note, in the outstanding amount of $93,798, was repaid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on October 22, 2019. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no amounts under the Promissory Note were outstanding nor could the promissory note be drawn upon.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Initial Shareholders, the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The Working Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,000,000 of

the Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Warrants. In the event that a business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively, there are no amounts outstanding.

On December 14, 2020, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the date on which the Company consummates a business combination. If the Company does not consummate a business combination, the Company may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Convertible Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. Up to $500,000 of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. The warrants, if issued, will be identical to the Private Warrants. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance under the Convertible Note amounted to an aggregate of $500,000 and $500,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate fair market value of the Convertible Note was $1,350,000 (see Note 9).

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on October 17, 2019, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Warrants (and their underlying securities), Representative Shares (as a defined in Note 7) and any securities that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and their underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Representative Shares, Private Warrants (and underlying securities) and securities issued in payment of Working Capital Loans (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a business combination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, EarlyBirdCapital and/or its designees may only make a demand registration (i) on one occasion and (ii) during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

Pursuant to a letter agreement entered into on October 17, 2019 (the “Business Combination Marketing Agreement”), the Company engaged EarlyBirdCapital as an advisor to assist the Company in identifying potential target businesses for a business combination, holding meetings with its shareholders to discuss potential business combinations and target business’ attributes, introducing the Company to potential

investors that may be interested in purchasing securities of the Company in connection with a business combination, assisting the Company in obtaining shareholder approval for a business combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with a business combination. The Company will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $4,830,000, for such services only upon the consummation of a business combination. At the Company’s sole discretion, , up to approximately 25% of such amount may be paid to third parties who are investment banks or financial advisory firms not participating in Initial Public Offering that assist the Company in consummating its business combination. As of June 30, 2021, the above service had not been completed and accordingly, no amounts have been recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, the Company will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in the proposed business combination if it introduces the Company to the target business with which the Company completes a business combination; provided that the foregoing fee will not be paid prior to the date that is 90 days from the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, unless FINRA determines that such payment would not be deemed underwriters’ compensation in connection with the Initial Public Offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(c)(3)(B)(ii).

Placement Agent Agreement

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated February 23, 2021, the Company will pay Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”) a placement agent fee for services provided by Stifel in connection with the placement of a private investment in a public equity transaction in connection with a business combination. Pursuant to the amended letter agreement, dated as of April 27, 2021 (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) entered into in connection with the proposed business combination with Shapeways (as defined in Note 6 below), upon consummation of the PIPE Investment referred to in Note 6, the Company will pay Stifel a placement fee equal to 4.0% of the gross proceeds to the Company from the PIPE Investment), excluding proceeds from investors in the PIPE Investment that were stockholders of Shapeways as of the date they entered into subscription agreements for the PIPE Investment and excluding proceeds from Stifel or any of its affiliates. In addition, the Company will reimburse Stifel for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, not to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate, regardless of whether the PIPE Investment is consummated.

Merger Agreement

On April 28, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Shapeways, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Shapeways”), Galileo Acquisition Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Galileo (“Merger Sub”), Galileo Founders Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sponsor”), in the capacity as the representative of the shareholders of Galileo (other than the Shapeways security holders) from and after the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”) (in such capacity, the “Purchaser Representative”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, in the capacity as the representative of the Shapeways security holders from and after the Closing of the Transaction (in such capacity, the “Seller Representative”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) prior to the Closing, the Company will continue out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware to re-domicile and become a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and (ii) at the Closing of the Transaction, and following the Domestication and the PIPE Investment (defined below), Merger Sub will merge with and into Shapeways (the “Merger”), with Shapeways continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and with each Shapeways stockholder receiving shares of the Company common stock at the Closing (as further described below). Simultaneously with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (as defined below) with investors (“PIPE Investors”) to

purchase a total of 7.5 million shares of the Company common stock in a private equity investment (“PIPE”) in the Company at $10.00 per share with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $75,000,000. The PIPE Investors include certain existing Shapeways stockholders and a strategic investor.

The Merger Agreement contains customary conditions to Closing, including the following mutual conditions of the parties (unless waived): (i) approval of the shareholders of the Company and Shapeways; (ii) approvals of any required governmental authorities and completion of any antitrust expiration periods; (iii) no law or order preventing the Transaction; (iv) the Registration Statement having been declared effective by the SEC; (v) the satisfaction of the $5,000,001 minimum net tangible asset test by the Company; (vi) approval of the Company’s common stock for listing on NYSE; (vii) consummation of the Domestication; and (viii) reconstitution of the post-Closing board of directors as contemplated under the Merger Agreement.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company and Shapeways entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with PIPE Investors for an aggregate for 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “PIPE Shares”), at a price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate of $75,000,000, in a private placement to be consummated simultaneously with the closing of the Transaction (the “PIPE Investment”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements is conditioned on the concurrent Closing and other customary closing conditions. Among other things, each PIPE Investor agreed in the Subscription Agreement that it and its affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account held for its public stockholders, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the trust account (including any distributions therefrom). In addition, Shapeways granted certain customary resale registration rights to the PIPE Investors in the Subscription Agreements.

NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 3,600,000 and 4,331,351 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 13,800,000 and 13,068,649 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.

The Company determined the ordinary shares subject to redemption to be equal to the redemption value of approximately $10.00 per share of ordinary shares while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Upon considering the impact of the PIPE financing and associated Subscription Agreements, it was concluded that the redemption value should include all shares of ordinary shares resulting in the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption being equal to $138,000,000. This resulted in a measurement adjustment to the initial carrying value of the ordinary shares subject to redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an offering cost of the Proposed Offering, with a corresponding credit to shareholders’ equity. The Company estimated the fair value of Representative Shares to be $1,137 based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the Sponsor. The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Company recognizes transfers into and out of the fair value levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers into or out of the levels during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

The Company established the initial fair value for the private warrants on October 22, 2019, the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, using a Binomial Lattice Model. The Company continues to classify the private warrants as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs and continues to value the private warrants using a Binomial Lattice Model.

The key inputs into the Binomial Lattice Model for the Private Placement Warrants were as follows at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Input	June 30, 2021			December 31, 2020
Risk-free interest rate			0.80%			0.28%

Market Stock Price		$	10.00		$	10.20

On June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Private Placement Warrants were determined to be $3 and $0.84 and per warrant, respectively, for an aggregate value of $12.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of Shapeways, Inc.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Shapeways, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Other Matter

The consolidated financial statements of Shapeways, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on March 12, 2021.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Shapeways, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1. Organization

Shapeways, Inc. (“Shapeways” or the “Parent”) was incorporated in Delaware on July 28, 2010, and facilitates the sale, design and manufacturing of 3D printed items. The Shapeways website provides a service for 3D designers to upload and print their models enabling them to turn their digital creations into physical products. The Shapeways website also provides a marketplace, which connects designers who wish to share and sell their products with individuals who want to order a wide range of personalized, custom-made items which include (but are not limited to) jewelry, household items and art. Upon purchase by the individual, the 3D printed items are manufactured by Shapeways in-house, or, in certain circumstances, are outsourced to third-party manufacturers. Shapeways also operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shapeways BV, which was incorporated in the Netherlands on December 10, 2008. Shapeways, Inc. and Shapeways BV (collectively, the “Company”) manufacture products for customers located in the United States, Europe and other countries around the world.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shapeways, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Shapeways BV. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. The Company has considered information available to it as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements and is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require an update to its estimates or judgements, or an adjustment to the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. The accounting estimates and other matters assessed include, but were not limited to, goodwill and other long-lived assets, and revenue recognition. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information becomes available. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Going Concern Uncertainty

On an annual basis, as required by ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern, the Company performs an evaluation to determine whether there are conditions or events (known and reasonably knowable), considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

The Company’s operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those associated with the Company’s limited operating history, expected continuing losses and negative cash flows from operations, managing growth and expansion, and the overall economy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shapeways, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception, as well as negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company has funded its activities primarily through equity financing and expects to continue to incur net losses and use cash in operations for the foreseeable future.

The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs for the next twelve months following the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ability to transition to more profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenue adequate to support its evolving cost structure. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not meet its operating plan as expected, the Company will be required to reduce corporate overhead or other operating expenses which could have an adverse impact on its ability to achieve intended business objectives or obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing its business objectives, however, management believes that external sources of funding are available.

Functional Currency

The local currency is the functional currency for Shapeways BV’s operations outside the United States. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of each period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity (deficit). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss for the period.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits. The Company maintains its deposits at high quality financial institutions and monitors the credit ratings of those institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. While cash held by financial institutions may at times exceed federally insured limits, the Company believes that no material credit or market risk exposure exists due to the high quality of the institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. Restricted cash represents cash required to be held as collateral for the Company’s credit cards. Accordingly, these balances contain restrictions as to their availability and usage and are classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

The reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the applicable balance sheet that sum to the total of the same such amount shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows:

	December 31,
	2020			2019
Cash and cash equivalents		$	8,564		$	9,464
Restricted cash			145			141
		$	8,709		$	9,605

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are generally unsecured as they are uncollateralized. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Judgement is exercised in establishing allowances and estimates are based on the customers’ payment history and liquidity. Any amounts that were previously recognized as revenue and

subsequently determined to be uncollectible are charged to bad debt expense included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Given the nature and historical collectability of the Company’s accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts was not deemed necessary at December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of January 1, 2019 the accounts receivable was $220.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods at the Company’s distribution center. Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined by the first-in-first-out method. Finished goods and work in progress are valued using a methodology to determine the cost of each 3D printed object using allocations for material, labor, machine time and overhead. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for slow-moving, damaged and discontinued items and provides allowances to reduce such items identified to their recoverable amounts. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company determined an allowance was not deemed necessary.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Additions and improvements that extend the economic useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the respective accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current earnings. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method in amounts considered to be sufficient to allocate the cost of the assets to operations over the estimated useful lives or lease terms, as follows:

Asset Category			Depreciable Life
Machinery and equipment			5 years
Computers and IT equipment			3 years
Furniture and fixtures			7 years
Leasehold improvements			**

Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.

Long-Lived Assets, Including Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, which consist of technology, customer relationships, and trademarks, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is generally recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from three to eight years. The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of intangible assets and adjusts when events indicate that a shorter life is appropriate. In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, capitalization of costs to develop software begin when preliminary development efforts are successfully and completed. Costs related to the design or maintenance of internal-use software are expensed as incurred.

Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows derived from such assets.

F-52

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

or planned changes in the Company’s use of the assets, significant negative industry or economic trends, and new or competing products that enter the marketplace. The impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset group. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the related fair value of the asset with the related impairment charge recognized within the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase prices over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis at a level of reporting referred to as the reporting unit, and more frequently if adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.

Under the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, the Company has the option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the goodwill impairment test is performed. Impairment tests are performed, at a minimum, in the fourth quarter of each year. Management uses the future discounted cash flows valuation approach to determine the fair value of reporting units and determines whether the fair value of reporting units exceeded its carrying amounts. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, management allocates the fair value of the reporting units to the assets and liabilities with the unallocated fair value representing an implied fair value of goodwill which is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill. The impairment review requires management to make judgments in determining various assumptions with respect to revenues, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates. The judgments made in determining the projected cash flows used to estimate the fair value can materially impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. There was no impairment of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The valuation hierarchy is composed of three levels. The classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels within the valuation hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

F-53

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shapeways, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and deferred revenue approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying amounts of the Company’s debt and operating lease liabilities approximated its fair value, as the obligation bears interest at rates currently available for debt with similar maturities and collateral requirements.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method with respect to all non-completed contracts. Revenues and contract assets and liabilities for contracts completed prior to January 1, 2019 are presented in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.

The new guidance is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. The new guidance also requires added disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgment and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or internal controls over financial reporting.

Revenue is primarily derived from two primary sources: a) direct sales of 3D printed products to customers and b) marketplace sales of 3D printed products from shop owners.

The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the products or services it transfers to the customer. These contracts have different terms based on the scope, performance obligations, and complexity of the project, which often requires us to make judgments and estimates in recognizing revenues.

Performance obligations are satisfied both at a point of time and over time. All revenues are recognized based on the satisfaction of the performance obligation to date (See Note 3).

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all options and other arrangements within the scope of ASC 718, Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the date of grant, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized using the straight-line method over the employee’s requisite service period. Compensation for stock-based awards with vesting conditions other than service are recognized at the time that those conditions will be achieved. Forfeitures are recognized as they are incurred.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development expenses consist primarily of allocated personnel costs, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, and allocations for rent and overhead. Research and development costs were $5,592 and $5,246 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $448 and $1,550 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes

The Company files consolidated income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Where applicable, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred tax assets that it determines will not be realizable in the future.

The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expects to take on income tax returns it files if such tax position is more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. These tax benefits are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Although the Company believes that is has adequately reserved for uncertain tax positions (including interest and penalties), it can provide no assurance that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be materially different. The Company makes adjustments to these reserves in accordance with the income tax accounting guidance when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made, and could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and operating results. Carryforward attributes that were generated in tax years prior to those that remain open for examination may still be adjusted by relevant tax authorities upon examination if they either have been, or will be, used in a future period.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted loss per common share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. The results of operations were a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Therefore, the basic and diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding were the same for all years. The anti-dilutive shares of common stock outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

These reclassifications had no effect on net loss as previously reported.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance included in the ASC. The standard requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. It also provides guidance on accounting for costs incurred to obtain or fulfill contracts with customers and establishes disclosure requirements which are more extensive than those required under prior U.S. GAAP. The Company adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2019 and elected the modified retrospective transition method of adoption using the completed contract practical expedient. The Company performed an assessment of its contracts with customers and did not identify any significant changes to the timing or amount of its revenue recognition under Topic 606 compared to prior U.S. GAAP. There was no material impact to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 as a result of applying the new guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes the current accounting for leases and while retaining two distinct types of leases, finance and operating, (i) requires lessees to record a right of use asset and a related liability for the rights and obligations associated with a lease, regardless of lease classification, and recognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting, (ii) eliminates most real estate specific lease provisions, and (iii) aligns many of the underlying

lessor model principles with those in the new revenue standard. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. In connection with the adoption, the Company will elect to utilize the modified retrospective presentation whereby the Company will continue to present prior periods and disclosures under ASC 840. In addition, the Company elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Further, the Company will adopt a short-term lease exception policy, permitting the Company to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less) and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets. On January 1, 2020, the Company recorded lease liabilities of $4,404 and corresponding right-of-use assets of $4,116 based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments for leases existing upon adoption of the new lease standard.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates certain disclosures, such as the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and adds new disclosure requirements for Level 3 measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Accounting for Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires the use of an “expected loss” model on certain types of financial instruments. The standard also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and requires estimated credit losses to be recorded as allowances instead of reductions to amortized cost of the securities. Update No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2018-15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The purpose of Update No. 2019-12 is to continue the FASB’s Simplification Initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in Update No. 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions related to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the requirement to recognize or derecognize deferred tax liabilities related to equity method investments that are also foreign subsidiaries, and the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period. In addition to removing these exceptions, Update No. 2019-12 also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. Update No. 2019-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for convertible instruments and also increases information transparency by making disclosure amendments. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized throughout the life of the executed agreement. The Company measures revenue based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Furthermore, the Company recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the product or service to the customer which could occur over time or at a point in time.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Customers typically receive the benefit of the Company’s services as (or when) they are performed. Substantially all customer contracts provide that compensation is received for services performed to date. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by us from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

Nature of Products and Services

The following is a description of the Company’s products and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each:

Direct sales

The Company provides customers with a 3D printing service, allowing for the customer to select the specifications of the model which they wish to have printed. Shapeways prints the 3D model and ships the product directly to the customer.

The Company recognizes the sale of shop owner products through their e-commerce website over time using the output method. Contracts involving the sale of shop owner products through their e-commerce website do not include other performance obligations. As such, allocation of the transaction price was not necessary as the entire contract price is attributed to the sole performance obligation identified.

Marketplace sales

The Company provides a platform for shop owners to sell their products to customers through Shapeways’ marketplace website. Shapeways receives a 3.5% markup fee from the shop owner upon the sale of any products through the marketplace.

agent by evaluating whether it has control of the product or service prior to it being transferred to the customer. The principal versus agent assessment is performed at the performance obligation level. Indicators that the Company has considered include whether it has the primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified product or service to the customer and whether it has inventory risk prior to transferring the product or service to the customer. The Company has the responsibility to fulfill the promise to provide the specific good or service on behalf of the shop owners to the customer. In addition, the Company has inventory risk before the specific good or service is transferred to a customer. As such, the Company is deemed the principal and shall recognize revenue on a gross basis for the price it charges to the shop owner for each product or service.

The Company recognizes the sale of 3D products to customers at a point in time, specifically upon shipping the goods to the customer (FOB Origin) given the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership at that point in time. Contracts involving the manufacturing and delivery of 3D printed products to customers do not include other performance obligations. As such, allocation of the transaction price was not necessary as the entire contract price is attributed to the sole performance obligation identified.

Other revenue

The Company provides additional services, such as the development and implementation of co-branded websites to certain customers, ongoing maintenance and operational assistance of such websites, and advertising for such websites on the Shapeways website.

For each of the performance obligations classified as other revenue, the performance obligations are satisfied evenly over the term of the contract. For contracts including performance obligations classified as other revenue, the Company identified that each performance obligation has an explicitly stated standalone selling price. As such, allocation is not necessary as the prices included in the contract are attributed to each separate performance obligation.

The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by revenue discipline:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020			2019
Major products and service lines:
Direct sales		$	23,656		$	27,119

Products and services transferred over time			23,820			27,119
Total revenue		$	31,775		$	33,511

Deferred Revenues

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance. The increase in deferred revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is primarily driven by an increase in orders at the end of 2020 which were not yet shipped as of year-end in comparison to the prior year.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

We apply the practical expedient related to incremental costs of obtaining a contract. Although certain of our commission costs qualify for capitalization under ASC 340-40, Contracts with customers, their amortization period is less than one year. Therefore, utilizing the practical expedient, we expense these costs as incurred.

The Company’s lease agreements do not state an implicit borrowing rate; therefore, an internal incremental borrowing rate was determined based on information available at the lease commencement date for the purposes of determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the cost to borrow on a securitized basis in each market. The weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases was 2.22 years and the weighted-average incremental borrowing rate was 5.25% as of December 31, 2020.

Supplemental cash flow information related to the Company’s leases was as follows:

Term Loan

On October 29, 2018, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Term Loan”) for the principal sum of $5,000 with a maturity date of October 29, 2022. The Term Loan requires interest-only payments until October 29, 2019, followed by monthly payments of principal and interest. Interest is payable at a rate equal to the prime rate, plus 0.25% per annum. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the interest rate was 3.50% and 5.50%, respectively. In connection with the Term Loan, the bank is due a $75 fee in the event of a liquidity event valuing the Company above a certain threshold.

A liquidity event has not occurred as of December 31, 2020, therefore, the success fee has not been accrued or paid. The Term Loan is collateralized by substantially all assets of Company, excluding intellectual property, and requires certain financial and non-financial covenants which include, but are not limited to delivering audited financial statements to the lender within 180 days after year-end and delivering unaudited financial statements within 30 days after each month end, cash account minimums, minimum cumulative revenue covenants and restrictions on capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2020. Interest expense totaled $162 and $280 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Dutch Landlord Loan

On May 12, 2014, the Company entered into a loan agreement with its landlord at the Eindhoven factory to advance €242 (equivalent to $297 and $330 in total at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively) to finance leasehold improvements (the “Dutch Landlord Loan”). The Dutch Landlord Loan is unsecured and required interest-only payments until September 30, 2016, followed by monthly payments of principal and interest. Interest accrues at 8.50% per annum through the maturity date on September 30, 2024. Interest expense totaled $19 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Convertible Promissory Notes

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

principal and unpaid accrued interest of each note may be converted, at the written election of the holders of the Convertible Promissory Notes, into conversion shares. Non-Qualified Equity Financing shall mean the next sale by the Company of its equity following the date of the Convertible Promissory Notes on or prior to the maturity date with the principal purpose of raising capital which is not a Qualified Equity Financing. If the next equity financing or a corporate transaction has not occurred on or before the maturity date of the Convertible Promissory Notes, the principal and unpaid accrued interest of each outstanding note may be converted, at the written election of each holder of the Convertible Promissory Notes, into conversion shares on the date of such written election. The number of conversion shares to be issued upon conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest due on a Convertible Promissory Note to be converted on the date of the conversion by (ii) the Conversion Price. The conversion price is defined as the Discounted Conversion Price, which is 70% of the next equity price per share. The Convertible Promissory Notes are subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of the Company arising under the Term Loan. At inception, the terms of the notes gave rise to a contingent beneficial conversion feature.

On December 14, 2020, the Company executed an amendment to the Convertible Promissory Notes that extended the maturity date to June 19, 2021. All other relevant terms and conditions of the Convertible Promissory Notes remain binding.

Interest expense totaled $400 and $220 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On May 4, 2020, the Company received an unsecured $1,982 loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The Paycheck Protection Program (or “PPP”) was established under the recently enacted CARES Act and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note with Pacific Western Bank evidencing the unsecured PPP Loan.

The PPP Loan has a maturity date of May 4, 2022 and accrues interest at an annual rate of 1.00%. To the extent the loan amount is not forgiven under the PPP, the Company is obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest, beginning six months from the date of the note, until the maturity date. In October 2020, the PPP Flexibility Act of 2020 extended the deferral period for borrower payments on all PPP loans from six months to ten months.

The CARES Act and the PPP provide a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed. Under the PPP, the Company may apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or part of the PPP Loan. The amount of the loan proceeds eligible for forgiveness is based on a formula that takes into account a number of factors, including the amount of loan proceeds used by the Company during the eight-week period after the loan origination for certain purposes including payroll costs, and certain rent payments, mortgage payments, and utility payments, provided that at least 75% of the loan amount is used for eligible payroll costs. Subject to the other requirements and limitations on loan forgiveness, only loan proceeds spent on payroll and other eligible costs during the covered eight-week period will qualify for forgiveness. The Company intends to use the entire PPP Loan amount for qualifying expense, however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP loan in whole or in part.

As of December 31, 2020, the PPP Loan remains outstanding in full, however the Company has applied for forbearance on the loan balance and expects to receive forbearance of the full principal amount based on the terms of the PPP Loan.

Conversion

Each share of convertible preferred stock is convertible at any time into a number of common shares as determined by dividing the original issue price for the relevant series by the conversion price. Conversion is automatic upon the earlier of i) the sale of common stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the aggregate gross proceeds raised is at least $75,000 or ii) upon written request from the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

Dividends

The holders of shares of Series B-1, C, D and E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends which accrue daily at an annual rate of $0.2076, $0.2746, $0.4207, and $0.2789 per share, respectively, and are non-cumulative. The Company has no obligation to pay such dividends except when and if declared by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, no dividends have been declared.

Liquidation

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, first the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock will receive distributions at a price of $3.4858 per share, plus any declared but unpaid dividends.

On April 22, 2015, in connection to an amended loan agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 13,750 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.70 per share and have an expiration date of April 22, 2025. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 13,750 of the warrants remained outstanding.

Note 11. Stock-Based Compensation

On August 23, 2010, the 2010 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted which provides for the grant of statutory and non-statutory stock options to employees, outside directors and consultants of the Company. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 16,942,546 shares. Accordingly, the Company has reserved a sufficient number of shares of common stock to permit the exercise of options in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The term of each award under the Plan shall be no more than ten years from the date of grant thereof and generally vest according to a four year vesting schedule. Certain executives are party to offer letters that provide for accelerated vesting following a termination without cause or resignation for good reason, in each case within one year of a change in control of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for administration of the Plan and has the sole discretion to determine which grantees will be granted awards and the terms and conditions of the awards granted.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted options to purchase 2,251,449 and 1,814,392 shares of common stock at an exercise price ranging from $0.28 to $0.37 per share, respectively. These options shall vest over four year period and have expirations dates of ten years. In connection with issuances under the Plan, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of $721 and $740, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The weighted-average grant-date fair value per stock option granted during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.18, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, approximately $940 and $1,429 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.26 years.

The Company accounts for share-based payments pursuant to ASC 718, Stock Compensation and, accordingly, the Company records stock compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options under the Black-Scholes model requires management to make assumptions regarding projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates, volatility of the Company’s stock price and expected dividends. The Company generally recognizes stock compensation expense on the grant date and over the period of vesting or period that services will be provided.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the stock-based compensation:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020	2019
Expected term (in years)	6	6
Expected volatility	51.12%	49.74%
Risk-free interest rate	0.37% – 1.46%	1.64% – 2.61%
Dividend yield	—%	—%

Expected volatility is based on average historical volatilities for public companies in similar industries over the expected term of the option. The expected term of the options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to a significant portion of the deferred tax assets and tax liabilities are as follows:

	December 31,
	2020			2019
Deferred tax assets:
Accrued expense		$	46		$	34
Deferred rent			—			69

Net operating losses			21,965			21,684
Tax credits			893			893
Other			19			9
Less: valuation allowance			(23,290)			(22,897)
Total deferred tax assets		$	—		$	—

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets increased by $393 to $23,290 in 2020. In determining the carrying value of our deferred tax assets, the Company evaluated all available evidence that led to a conclusion that based upon the more-likely-than-not standard of the accounting literature, these deferred tax assets were unrecoverable. The valuation allowance has no impact on the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) position for tax purposes, and if the Company generates taxable income in future periods, it will be able to use the NOLs to offset taxes due at that time.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $90,684, $71,921 of which, if not utilized, expire by 2038. Federal net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $18,763 can be carried forward indefinitely. In addition, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $94,199, with varying expiration dates as determined by each state; some of which may be indefinite lived. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 Section 382 (“Section 382”) and Section 383 provide an annual limitation with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its tax attributes, as well as certain built-in losses, against future U.S. taxable income in the event of a change of ownership. These carryforwards are not subject to limitation by Section 382 and are all expected to be available to offset future U.S. taxable income.

On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security “CARES” Act into law. The CARES Act includes several significant business tax provisions that, among other things, eliminates the taxable income limit for certain net operating losses (“NOL) and allows businesses to carry back NOLs arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to the five prior years, suspends the excess business loss rules, accelerates refunds of previously generated corporate alternative minimum tax credits, generally loosens the business interest limitation under IRC section 163(j) from 30 percent to 50 percent among other technical corrections included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax provisions. The provisions of the CARES Act did not have a significant impact on the Company’s income tax provision, taxes payable, or deferred tax accounts as of December 31, 2020.

Note 13. Significant Concentrations

One customer accounted for approximately 21% and 16% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. No other customers represented more than 10% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

As of December 31, 2020, two customers accounted for approximately 32% and 10% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019, two customers accounted for approximately 41% and 14% of accounts receivable. No other customers represented more than 10% of outstanding accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

As of December 31, 2020, five vendors accounted for approximately 18%, 15%, 15%, 11%, and 10% of accounts payable. As of December 31, 2019, three vendors accounted for approximately 15%, 11%, and 10% of accounts payable. No other vendors represented more than 10% of outstanding accounts payable balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Note 14. Related Party Transactions

During 2012, the Company signed a $175 promissory note with an officer of the Company, bearing interest equal to the greater of (a) 0.88% per annum or (b) the mid-term Applicable Federal Rate under Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code in effect during the time the note is outstanding. Interest rates for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were 0.78% and 2.14%, respectively. On August 25, 2017, the Company and the officer amended the terms of the promissory to extend the maturity date to August 10, 2020. On July 28, 2020, the Company and the officer again amended the terms of the promissory note to extend the maturity date such that the remainder of the principal and accrued interest be due and payable on August 10, 2021. The promissory note is secured by the assets of the borrower. The aggregate principal balance and accrued interest due as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is $151 and $200, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, interest earned by the Company amounted to $1 and $4, respectively.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all known subsequent events through March 15, 2021, which is the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that no subsequent events have occurred requiring recognition or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

Note 1. Organization

Galileo Merger

On April 28, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Galileo Acquisition Corp. (“Galileo”) (NYSE: GLEO), a special purpose acquisition company, pursuant to which Shapeways will be acquired by Galileo. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will survive the merger becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Galileo (the “Business Combination”). Upon closing of the Business Combination, Galileo will change its name to Shapeways Holdings, Inc. Cash proceeds of the Business Combination will be funded through a combination of up to $138 million of cash held in trust by Galileo, reduced by any redemptions, and $75 million in aggregate gross proceeds from a PIPE Investment that will close contemporaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, assuming minimal redemptions. Cash proceeds resulting from the Business Combination will be used for general corporate purposes, including advancement of product development and growth efforts, but may also be used to acquire other companies in the digital manufacturing industry.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shapeways, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Shapeways BV. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read along with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets

and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. The Company has considered information available to it as of the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements and is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require an update to its estimates or judgements, or an adjustment to the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. The accounting estimates and other matters assessed include, but were not limited to, goodwill and other long-lived assets, and revenue recognition. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information becomes available. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has historically incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company has funded its activities primarily through equity financing and expects to continue to incur net losses and use cash in operations for the foreseeable future.

liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. While cash held by financial institutions may at times exceed federally insured limits, the Company believes that no material credit or market risk exposure exists due to the high quality of the institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. Restricted cash represents cash required to be held as collateral for the Company’s credit cards and security deposit for our facility in the Netherlands. Accordingly, these balances contain restrictions as to their availability and usage and are classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

The reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the applicable consolidated balance sheet that sum to the total of the same such amount shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows:

	June 30, 2021			December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents		$	6,250		$	8,564
Restricted cash			145			145
		$	6,395		$	8,709

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and are generally unsecured as they are uncollateralized. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Judgement is exercised in establishing allowances and estimates are based on the customers’ payment history and liquidity. Any amounts that were previously recognized as revenue and subsequently determined to be uncollectible are charged to bad debt expense included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Given the nature and historical collectability of the Company’s accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts was not deemed necessary at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods at the Company’s distribution center. Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined by the first-in-first-out method. Finished goods and work in progress are valued using a methodology to determine the cost of each 3D printed object using allocations for material, labor, machine time and overhead. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for slow-moving, damaged and discontinued items and provides allowances to reduce such items identified to their recoverable amounts. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company determined an allowance was not deemed necessary.

Long-Lived Assets, Including Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant changes in the Company’s forecasted projections for the asset or asset group for reasons including, but not limited to, significant underperformance of a product in relation to expectations, significant changes, or planned changes in the Company’s use of the assets, significant negative industry or economic trends, and new or competing products that enter the marketplace. The impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset group. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the related fair value of the asset with the related impairment charge recognized within the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. No impairment charges were recorded for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Galileo Merger. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity upon the completion of the Galileo Merger. As of June 30, 2021, deferred offering costs were $2,015, which is included in prepaid and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Goodwill

Under ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, the Company has the option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the goodwill impairment test is performed. Impairment tests are

F-78

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

performed, at a minimum, in the fourth quarter of each year. Management uses the future discounted cash flows valuation approach to determine the fair value of reporting units and determines whether the fair value of reporting units exceeded its carrying amounts. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, management allocates the fair value of the reporting units to the assets and liabilities with the unallocated fair value representing an implied fair value of goodwill which is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill. The impairment review requires management to make judgments in determining various assumptions with respect to revenues, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates. The judgments made in determining the projected cash flows used to estimate the fair value can materially impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. There was no impairment of goodwill as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Fair Value Measurements

Level 1 —

Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 —

Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 —

Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and deferred revenue approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amounts of the Company’s debt and operating lease liabilities approximated its fair value, as the obligation bears interest at rates currently available for debt with similar maturities and collateral requirements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived from two primary sources: a) Products and services and b) Software.

F-79

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the products or services it transfers to the customer. These contracts have different terms based on the scope, performance obligations, and complexity of the project, which often requires us to make judgments and estimates in recognizing revenues.

Performance obligations are satisfied both at a point of time and over time. All revenue is recognized based on the satisfaction of the performance obligation to date (See Note 3).

Leases

The Company’s lease arrangements relate primarily to office and manufacturing space, and equipment. The Company’s leases generally have initial terms ranging from 5 to 10 years and may include renewal options and rent escalation clauses. The Company is typically required to make fixed minimum rent payments relating to its right to use an underlying leased asset. Additionally, the Company’s leases do not contain significantly restrictive covenants or residual value guarantees.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classifies its leases at commencement. Operating leases are presented as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and the corresponding lease liabilities are included in operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not currently maintain any finance lease arrangements. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation for lease payments in exchange for the ability to use the asset for the duration of the lease term. The Company does not recognize short term leases that have a term of twelve months or less as ROU assets or lease liabilities. The Company’s short-term leases are not material and do not have a material impact on its ROU assets or lease liabilities.

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date and determined using the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing since the Company’s leases do not include an implicit interest rate. The estimated incremental borrowing rate considers market data, actual lease economic environment, and actual lease term at commencement date. The lease term may include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. ROU assets include lease payments made in advance, and excludes any incentives received or initial direct costs incurred. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term

The Company has lease agreements which contain both lease and non-lease components, which it has elected to account for as a single lease component. As such, minimum lease payments include fixed payments for non-lease components within a lease agreement, but exclude variable lease payments not dependent on an index or rate, such as common area maintenance, operating expenses, utilities, or other costs that are subject to fluctuation from period to period.

Stock-based Compensation

Research and Development Costs

Research and development expenses consist primarily of allocated personnel costs, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, and allocations for rent and overhead. Research and development costs were $2,426 and $2,773 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $440 and $230 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes

Income (Loss) per Share

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt and convertible securities, using the if-converted method. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted loss per common share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. A reconciliation of net income (loss) and number of shares used in computed basic and diluted income (loss) per share was as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020
Basic net income (loss) per share computation:
Net income (loss)		$	1,573		$	(2,470)
Weighted average common shares – basic			21,655,829			20,571,122
Basic net income (loss) per share		$	0.07		$	(0.12)
Diluted net income (loss) per share computation:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The purpose of Update No. 2019-12 is to continue the FASB’s Simplification Initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in Update No. 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions related to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the requirement to recognize or derecognize deferred tax liabilities related to equity method investments that are also foreign subsidiaries, and the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period. In addition to removing these exceptions, Update No. 2019-12 also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standards did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which aims to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, goodwill impairment will be measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing

Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with the transition away from reference rates (such as the London Interbank Offered Rate) that are expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies the scope and application of the guidance in ASU 2020-04. ASU 2021-01 clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASU 2020-04 and Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are both effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022. The new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. This ASU codifies the disclosure guidance of all codifications which provide entities with an option to either present information on the face or disclose it in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2020-10 also clarifies application of various provisions in the codifications where the guidance may have been unclear. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Nature of Products and Services

Direct sales

Marketplace sales

The Company handles the financial transaction, manufacturing, distribution and customer service on behalf of the shop owners. The Company is responsible for billing the customer in this arrangement and transmitting the applicable fees to the shop owner. The Company assessed whether it is responsible for providing the actual product or service as a principal, or for arranging for the product or service to be provided by the third party as an agent. Judgment is applied to determine whether the Company is the principal or the agent by evaluating whether it has control of the product or service prior to it being transferred to the customer. The principal versus agent assessment is performed at the performance obligation level. Indicators that the Company has considered include whether it has the primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified product or service to the customer and whether it has inventory risk prior to transferring the product or service to the customer. The Company has the responsibility to fulfill the promise to provide the specific good or service on behalf of the shop owners to the customer. In addition, the Company has inventory risk before the specific good or service is transferred to a customer. As such, the Company is deemed the principal and shall recognize revenue on a gross basis for the price it charges to the shop owner for each product or service.

Software revenue

For each of the performance obligations classified as software revenue, the performance obligations are satisfied evenly over the term of the contract. For contracts including performance obligations classified as software revenue, the Company identified that each performance obligation has an explicitly stated standalone

Deferred Revenues

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance. The decrease in deferred revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily driven by a decrease in orders at the end of 2020 which were not yet shipped as of the end of the current period in comparison to the prior period.

The deferred revenue activity consisted of the following:

	Deferred Revenue
Balance at January 1, 2021		$	753
Deferred revenue recognized during period			(17,636)
Additions to deferred revenue during period			17,509
Balance at June 30, 2021		$	626

The Company expects to satisfy its remaining performance obligations within the next twelve months. The $753 of deferred revenue as of January 1, 2021 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The opening balance of accounts receivable as of January 1, 2020 was $151.

The Company’s lease agreements do not state an implicit borrowing rate; therefore, an internal incremental borrowing rate was determined based on information available at the lease commencement date for the purposes of determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the cost to borrow on a securitized basis in each market. The weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases was 2.26 years and the weighted-average incremental borrowing rate was 5.35% as of June 30, 2021.

Term Loan

On October 29, 2018, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Term Loan”) for the principal sum of $5,000 with a maturity date of October 29, 2022. The Term Loan requires interest-only payments until October 29, 2019, followed by monthly payments of principal and interest. Interest is payable at a rate equal to the prime rate, plus 0.25% per annum. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the interest rate was 3.50% and 5.50%, respectively. In connection with the Term Loan, the bank is due a $75 fee in the event of a liquidity event valuing the Company above a certain threshold.

A liquidity event has not occurred as of June 30, 2021, therefore, the success fee has not been accrued or paid. The Term Loan is collateralized by substantially all assets of Company, excluding intellectual property, and requires certain financial and non-financial covenants which include, but are not limited to delivering audited financial statements to the lender within 180 days after year-end and delivering unaudited financial statements within 30 days after each month end, cash account minimums, minimum cumulative revenue covenants and restrictions on capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2021. Interest expense totaled $54 and $93 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Dutch Landlord Loan

On May 12, 2014, the Company entered into a loan agreement with its landlord at the Eindhoven factory to advance €242 (equivalent to $288 and $297 in total at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively) to finance leasehold improvements (the “Dutch Landlord Loan”). The Dutch Landlord Loan is unsecured and required interest-only payments until September 30, 2016, followed by monthly payments of principal and interest. Interest accrues at 8.50% per annum through the maturity date on September 30, 2024. Interest expense totaled $9 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Convertible Promissory Notes

On June 19, 2019, the Company entered into note purchase agreements (the “Convertible Promissory Notes”) with certain stockholders of the Company for the aggregate principal sum of $5,000. The Convertible Promissory Notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum with all principal and interest due on or before the earlier of (i) December 19, 2020; and (ii) the closing of a Qualified Equity Financing, as defined below. The Convertible Promissory Notes are automatically converted into conversion shares upon the closing of a Qualified Equity Financing. Qualified Equity Financing is defined as the next sale by the Company of preferred stock following the date of the Convertible Promissory Notes on or prior to the maturity date with the principal purpose of raising capital. In the event there is a non-Qualified Equity Financing, the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest of each note may be converted, at the written election of the holders of the Convertible Promissory Notes, into conversion shares. Non-Qualified Equity Financing shall mean the next sale by the Company of its equity following the date of the Convertible Promissory Notes on or prior to the maturity date with the principal purpose of raising capital which is not a Qualified Equity Financing. If the next equity financing or a corporate transaction has not occurred on or before the maturity date of the Convertible Promissory Notes, the principal and unpaid accrued interest of each outstanding note may be converted, at the written election of each holder of the Convertible Promissory Notes, into conversion shares on the date of such written election. The number of conversion shares to be issued upon conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest due on a Convertible Promissory Note to be converted on the date of the conversion by (ii) the Conversion Price. The conversion price is defined as the Discounted Conversion Price, which is 70% of the next equity price per share. The Convertible Promissory Notes are subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of the Company arising under the Term Loan. At inception, the terms of the notes gave rise to a contingent beneficial conversion feature.

On December 14, 2020, the Company executed an amendment to the Convertible Promissory Notes that extended the maturity date to August 10, 2021. All other relevant terms and conditions of the Convertible Promissory Notes remain binding.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Article I
Stockholders

1.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Shapeways Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”), the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President or, if not so designated, at the principal executive office of the Corporation. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any applicable successor act thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “DGCL”).

1.2 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date and at a time designated by the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President (which date shall not be a legal holiday in the place, if any, where the meeting is to be held). The Board acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by the majority of the Whole Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual meeting of stockholders, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders. For purposes of these Bylaws (these “Bylaws”), the term “Whole Board” will mean the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships.

1.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by a resolution adopted by the majority of the Whole Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, and may not be called by any other person or persons. The Board acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by the majority of the Whole Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

1.4 Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to stockholders, any notice shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to (in a manner consistent with the DGCL) by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting). The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If notice is given by mail, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed given at the time specified in Section 232 of the DGCL.

1.5 Voting List. The Secretary shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably

B-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

1.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of capital stock is required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting, or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which there is a quorum, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting originally called.

1.7 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws by the chairman of the meeting or by the stockholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, although less than a quorum. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

1.8 Voting and Proxies. Each stockholder shall have such number of votes, if any, for each share of stock entitled to vote and held of record by such stockholder as may be fixed in the Certificate of Incorporation and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may vote in person (including by means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) or may authorize another person or persons to vote for such stockholder by a proxy executed or transmitted in a manner permitted by applicable law. No such proxy shall be voted upon after three years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL.

1.9 Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, any matter other than the election of directors to be voted upon by the stockholders at such meeting shall be decided by the vote of the holders of shares of stock having a majority in voting power of the votes cast by the holders of all of the shares of stock present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter (or if there are two or more classes or series of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class or series, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of that class or series present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter), except when a different vote is required by applicable law, regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. For the avoidance of doubt, neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will be counted as votes cast for or against such matter. Other than directors who may be elected by the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or pursuant to any resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such stock adopted by the Board, each

B-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

director shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot.

1.10 Nomination of Directors.

(a) Except for (1) any directors entitled to be elected by the holders of Preferred Stock, (2) any directors elected in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof by the Board to fill a vacancy or newly-created directorship or (3) as otherwise required by applicable law or stock exchange regulation, at any meeting of stockholders, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures in this Section 1.10 shall be eligible for election or re-election as directors. Nomination for election to the Board at a meeting of stockholders may be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board (or any committee thereof) or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (x) timely complies with the notice procedures in Section 1.10(b), (y) is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of such notice and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (z) is entitled to vote at such meeting.

(b) To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received in writing by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation as follows: (i) in the case of an election of directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that (x) in the case of the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to be held in 2021 or (y) in the event that the date of the annual meeting in any other year is advanced by more than thirty (30) days, or delayed by more than sixty (60) days, from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not earlier than the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (A) the ninetieth(90th) day prior to such annual meeting and (B) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs; or (ii) in the case of an election of directors at a special meeting of stockholders, provided that the majority of the Whole Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer has determined, in accordance with Section 1.3, that directors shall be elected at such special meeting and provided further that the nomination made by the stockholder is for one of the director positions that the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, as the case may be, has determined will be filled at such special meeting, not earlier than the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting and (y) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of such special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such special meeting was made, whichever first occurs. In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of a meeting (or the public disclosure thereof) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice.

The stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth: (A) as to each proposed nominee (1) such person’s name, age, business address and, if known, residence address, (2) such person’s principal occupation or employment, (3) the class and series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned, beneficially or of record, by such person, (4) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among (x) the stockholder, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made and the respective affiliates and associates of, or others acting in concert with, such stockholder and such beneficial owner, on the one hand, and (y) each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with such nominee(s), on the other hand, including all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith were the “registrant” for purposes of such Item and the proposed nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant, (5) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, swaps, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by, or on behalf of, such proposed nominee, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share

B-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such proposed nominee with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, and (6) any other information concerning such person that must be disclosed as to nominees in proxy solicitations pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and (B) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such beneficial owner, and any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below), (2) the class and series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned, beneficially or of record, by such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person, (3) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding between or among such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are being made or who may participate in the solicitation of proxies in favor of electing such nominee(s), (4) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, swaps, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by, or on behalf of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, (5) any other information relating to such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (6) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person(s) named in its notice and (7) a representation whether such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or such Stockholder Associated Person intends or is part of a group which intends (x) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock reasonably believed by such stockholder, such beneficial owner or such Stockholder Associated Person to be sufficient to elect the nominee and/or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such nomination. Such information provided and statements made as required by clauses (A) and (B) above or otherwise by this Section 1.10 are hereinafter referred to as a “Nominee Solicitation Statement.” Not later than ten (10) days after the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, the information required by Items (A)(1)-(5) and (B)(1)-(5) of the prior sentence shall be supplemented by the stockholder giving the notice to provide updated information as of such record date. In addition, to be effective, the stockholder’s notice must be accompanied by a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such proposed nominee (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and the written consent of the proposed nominee to be named in the Corporation’s proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected and a written statement executed by the proposed nominee acknowledging that as a director of the Corporation, the nominee will owe a fiduciary duty under Delaware law with respect to the Corporation and its stockholders. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as the Corporation may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee or whether such nominee would be independent under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission and stock exchange rules and the Corporation’s publicly disclosed corporate governance guidelines. A stockholder shall not have complied with this Section 1.10(b) if the stockholder (or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made) solicits or does not solicit, as the case may be, proxies or votes in support of such stockholder’s nominee in contravention of the representations with respect thereto required by this Section 1.10. For purposes of these Bylaws, a “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder and on whose behalf the proposal or nomination, as the case may be, is being made, or (iii) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such person referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii).

(c) Without exception, no person shall be eligible for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation at a meeting of stockholders unless nominated in accordance with the provisions set forth in

B-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

this Section 1.10. In addition, a nominee shall not be eligible for election or re-election if a stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee or if the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairman of any meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.10 (including the previous sentence of this Section 1.10(c)), and if the chairman should determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.10, the chairman shall so declare to the meeting and such nomination shall not be brought before the meeting.

(d) Except as otherwise required by law, nothing in this Section 1.10 shall obligate the Corporation or the Board to include in any proxy statement or other stockholder communication distributed on behalf of the Corporation or the Board information with respect to any nominee for director submitted by a stockholder.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the meeting to present a nomination, such nomination shall not be brought before the meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nominee may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 1.10, to be considered a “qualified representative of the stockholder”, a person must be authorized by a written instrument executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such written instrument or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the written instrument or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

(f) For purposes of this Section 1.10, “public disclosure” shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.10; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations to be considered pursuant to this Section 1.10 (including paragraph (a)(ii) hereof), and compliance with paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 1.10 shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations. Nothing in this Section 1.10 shall be deemed to affect any rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

1.11 Notice of Business at Annual Meetings.

(a) At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (1) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (2) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board (or any committee thereof), or (3) properly brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, (i) if such business relates to the nomination of a person for election as a director of the Corporation, the procedures in Section 1.10 must be complied with and (ii) if such business relates to any other matter, the business must constitute a proper matter under Delaware law for stockholder action and the stockholder must (x) have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary in accordance with the procedures in Section 1.11(b), (y) be a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of such notice and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (z) be entitled to vote at such annual meeting.

(b) To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received in writing by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that

B-5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(x) in the case of the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to be held in 2021 or (y) in the event that the date of the annual meeting in any other year is advanced by more than thirty (30) days, or delayed by more than sixty (60) days, from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not earlier than the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (A) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and (B) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting (or the public disclosure thereof) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice.

The stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth: (A) as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (1) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, (2) the text of the proposal (including the exact text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws, the exact text of the proposed amendment), and (3) the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, and (B) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such beneficial owner and of any Stockholder Associated Person, (2) the class and series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned, beneficially or of record, by such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person, (3) a description of any material interest of such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person and the respective affiliates and associates of, or others acting in concert with, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person in such business, (4) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding between or among such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business or who may participate in the solicitation of proxies in favor of such proposal, (5) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, swaps, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by, or on behalf of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, (6) any other information relating to such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the business proposed pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (7) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting and (8) a representation whether such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person intends or is part of a group which intends (x) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal and/or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal. Such information provided and statements made as required by clauses (A) and (B) above or otherwise by this Section 1.11 are hereinafter referred to as a “Business Solicitation Statement.” Not later than ten (10) days after the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, the information required by Items (A)(3) and (B)(1)-(6) of the prior sentence shall be supplemented by the stockholder giving the notice to provide updated information as of such record date. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting of stockholders except in accordance with the procedures in this Section 1.11; provided that any stockholder proposal which complies with Rule 14a-8 of the proxy rules (or any successor provision) promulgated under the Exchange Act and is to be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement for an annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to comply with the notice requirements of this Section 1.11. A stockholder shall not have complied with this Section 1.11(b) if the stockholder (or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made) solicits or does not solicit, as the case may be, proxies or votes in support of such stockholder’s proposal in contravention of the representations with respect thereto required by this Section 1.11.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(c) Without exception, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 1.11. In addition, business proposed to be brought by a stockholder may not be brought before the annual meeting if such stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business or if the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairman of any annual meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether business was properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.11 (including the previous sentence of this Section 1.11(c)), and if the chairman should determine that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.11, the chairman shall so declare to the meeting and such business shall not be brought before the annual meeting.

(d) Except as otherwise required by law, nothing in this Section 1.11 shall obligate the Corporation or the Board to include in any proxy statement or other stockholder communication distributed on behalf of the Corporation or the Board information with respect to any proposal submitted by a stockholder.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting to present business, such business shall not be considered, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such business may have been received by the Corporation.

(f) For purposes of this Section 1.11, the terms “qualified representative of the stockholder” and “public disclosure” shall have the same meaning as in Section 1.10.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.11; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to proposals as to any business to be considered pursuant to this Section 1.11 (including paragraph (a)(3) hereof), and compliance with paragraph (a)(3) of this Section 1.11 shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit business (other than, as provided in the penultimate sentence of (b), business other than nominations brought properly under and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, as may be amended from time to time). Nothing in this Section 1.11 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Unless otherwise required by law, inspectors may be officers, employees or agents of the Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of such inspector’s duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability.

The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III at the time such classification becomes effective.

A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

2.7 Action at Meeting. Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board, unless a greater number is required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office for the remaining term of his or her predecessor.

2.10 Resignation. Any director may resign only by delivering a resignation in writing or by electronic transmission to the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer.

2.14 Meetings by Conference Communications Equipment. Directors may participate in meetings of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

2.15 Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent to the action in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or

In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members of the committee present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board and subject to the provisions of law, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter (other than the election or removal of directors) expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Corporation. Each such committee shall keep minutes and make such reports as the Board may from time to time request. Except as the Board may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the directors or in such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these Bylaws for the Board. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the resolution of the Board designating the committee, a committee may create one or more subcommittees, each subcommittee to consist of one or more members of the committee, and delegate to a subcommittee any or all of the powers and authority of the committee.

2.17 Compensation of Directors. Directors may be paid such compensation for their services and such reimbursement for expenses of attendance at meetings as the Board may from time to time determine.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea or nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

7.2 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 7.3, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or Executive Officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or Executive Officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Any indemnification under this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or Executive Officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or Executive Officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and Executive Officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or Executive Officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

The Board in its sole discretion shall have power on behalf of the Corporation to indemnify any person, other than a director or Executive Officer, made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was an officer, employee or agent of the Corporation (or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise).

7.4 Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 7.3, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on good faith reliance on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 7.4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 7.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be.

7.5 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 7.3, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, if a claim under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of the Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within (i) ninety (90) days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Corporation, or (ii) thirty (30) days after a written claim for an advancement of expenses has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter (but not before) bring suit against the Corporation in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, together with interest thereon, or to obtain advancement of expenses, as applicable. It shall be a defense to any such action brought to enforce a right to indemnification (but not in an action brought to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL (or other applicable law) for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 7.3 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the claimant has not met any applicable standard of conduct. If successful, in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

7.6 Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred by a current or former director or Executive Officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law as the same exists or

B-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may hereafter be amended, by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such current or former director or Executive Officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VII.

7.7 Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that, subject to Section 7.11, indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 7.1 or 7.2 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL, or otherwise.

7.8 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, Executive Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, Executive Officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.

7.9 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VII, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect of any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VII.

7.10 Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or Executive Officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

7.11 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 7.5), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof):

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;

(b) initiated by such person, including any action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person against the Corporation or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the action, suit or proceeding (or relevant part thereof) prior to its

B-16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

initiation, (ii) the Corporation provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under applicable law, (iii) otherwise required to be made under Section 7.5 or (iv) otherwise required by applicable law; or

7.12 Contract Rights. The obligations of the Corporation under this Article VII to indemnify, and advance expenses to, a person who is or was a director or Executive Officer of the Corporation shall be considered a contract between the Corporation and such person, and no modification or repeal of any provision of this Article VII shall affect, to the detriment of such person, such obligations of the Corporation in connection with a claim based on any act or failure to act occurring before such modification or repeal.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

This Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 28, 2021 by and among (i) Galileo Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its successors, including after the Domestication (as defined below), the “Purchaser”), (ii) Galileo Acquisition Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (“Merger Sub”), (iii) Galileo Founders Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time (as defined below) for the stockholders of the Purchaser (other than the Company Security Holders (as defined below) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and their successors and assignees) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Purchaser Representative”), (iv) Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time for the Company Stockholders (as defined below) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Seller Representative”), and (v) Shapeways, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Purchaser Representative, the Seller Representative and the Company are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties”.

RECITALS:

A. The Company, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, operates a digital manufacturing platform that combines high quality, flexible on demand manufacturing with purpose built proprietary software;

C. Prior to the consummation of the Merger (as defined below), the Purchaser shall continue out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware as to re-domicile as and become a Delaware corporation pursuant to the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2020 Revision) (the “Cayman Islands Companies Law”) and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (as amended, the “DGCL”);

D. The Parties intend to effect the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), as a result of which, among other things, (i) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, in exchange for the right for each Company Stockholder to receive its Stockholder Pro Rata Share (as defined herein) of the Stockholder Merger Consideration (as defined herein), and (ii) outstanding Company Options (as defined herein) shall be assumed (with equitable adjustments to the number and exercise price of such assumed Company Options) by Purchaser with the result that such assumed Company Options shall be converted into the right to receive (a) Purchaser Options exercisable into shares of Purchaser Common Stock and (b) Purchaser Earnout RSUs corresponding to shares of Purchaser Common Stock, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL;

E. The boards of directors of the Company, the Purchaser and Merger Sub have each (i) determined that the Merger (preceded by the Domestication) is fair, advisable and in the best interests of their respective companies and stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Domestication and the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and (iii) determined to recommend to their respective stockholders the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Domestication and the Merger;

H. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Purchaser has entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with investors (the “PIPE Investors”) to purchase shares of the Purchaser in connection with a private equity investment in the Purchaser for aggregate gross proceeds to the Purchaser of at least seventy-five million dollars ($75,000,000) (the “PIPE Investment”).

I. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Purchaser and the Sponsor have entered into a letter agreement (the “Sponsor Forfeiture Letter”) in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to forfeit six hundred ninety thousand (690,000) Founder Shares held by the Sponsor, contingent and effective upon the Closing.

J. The Parties intend that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (as defined herein) and, depending on the facts at the time of the Closing, intend that the Merger and the PIPE Investment shall be considered part of an overall plan in which the Company Stockholders exchange their shares of Company Common Stock for the Stockholder Merger Consideration in an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

The Company, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation” (provided, that references to the Company for periods after the Effective Time shall include the Surviving Corporation).

1.2 Effective Time. The Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time of such filing, or such later time as may be specified in the Certificate of Merger, being the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Company shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Corporation, which shall include the assumption by the Surviving Corporation of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Company set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Effective Time.

On or prior to the Effective Time, the holders of Company Preferred Stock (including the holders of Company Preferred Stock issued upon conversion of Company Convertible Notes in accordance with Section 1.10(f)) shall either exchange or convert all of their issued and outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock for shares of Company Common Stock at the applicable conversion ratio (including any accrued or declared but unpaid dividends) (the “Company Preferred Stock Exchange”) as set forth in the Company Charter.

1.8 Domestication of the Purchaser. Prior to the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall continue out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to re-domicile as and become a Delaware corporation pursuant to the Cayman Islands Companies Law and the applicable provisions of the DGCL (the “Domestication”), and subject to the receipt of the approval of the shareholders of the Purchaser to the Domestication and its terms, the Purchaser shall adopt Delaware Organizational Documents in substantially the form attached as Exhibit E hereto (the “Amended Organizational Documents”) (with such changes as may be agreed in writing by the Purchaser and the Company), including providing that the name of the Purchaser shall be amended to be Shapeways Holdings, Inc. In connection with the Domestication, all of the issued and outstanding Purchaser Securities shall remain outstanding and become substantially identical securities of the Purchaser as a Delaware corporation.

1.9 Merger Consideration. As consideration for the Merger, the Company Security Holders collectively shall be entitled to receive from the Purchaser, in the aggregate, a number of Purchaser Securities with an aggregate value equal to $406,000,000 (the “Merger Consideration”), with each Company Stockholder receiving for each share of Company Common Stock held (after giving effect to the Company Preferred Stock Exchange or otherwise treating shares of Company Preferred Stock on an as-converted to Company Common Stock basis, but excluding any Company Securities described in Section 1.10(b)), a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to (i) the Per Share Price divided by (ii) the Redemption Price (the “Conversion Ratio”) (the total portion of the Merger Consideration amount payable to all Company Stockholders in respect of shares of Company Stock (but excluding Merger Consideration payable in respect of Company Options and Assumed Warrants) in accordance with this Agreement is also referred to herein as the “Stockholder Merger Consideration”); provided, that the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to Company Stockholders in respect of shares of Company Stock is subject to the withholding of the Stockholder Earnout Shares deposited in the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 1.16, and, after the Closing, is subject to reduction for the amount of any Stockholder Earnout Shares which Company Stockholders are not entitled to receive pursuant to the earnout conditions set forth in Section 1.16. The holders of Company Options shall receive such number of Purchaser Options and Purchaser Earnout RSUs as described in Section 1.10(d), with such terms and conditions as described in Section 1.10(d); provided, that a portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to holders of Company Options in the form of Purchaser Earnout RSUs shall, from and after the Closing, be restricted by vesting and forfeiture terms in accordance with Section 1.10(d), and, after the Closing, be subject to reduction for the amount of any Purchaser Earnout RSUs that may be forfeited and cancelled pursuant to the Purchaser Earnout RSU earnout conditions set forth in Section 1.10(d). The holder of the Company Non-Plan Option shall be given the opportunity to exercise such option prior to the Effective Time as described in Section 1.10(d)(iv) and if not exercised prior to the Effective Time, such Company Non-Plan Option shall be cancelled without payment in accordance with its terms.

C-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Warrants as described in Section 1.10(e), with such terms and conditions as described in Section 1.10(e), provided, that a portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to holders of Company Warrants in the form of Assumed Warrants shall, from and after the Closing, be restricted from exercise and subject to vesting and forfeiture terms in accordance with Section 1.10(e) and Section 1.16(b), and, after the Closing, be subject to reduction for the amount of any Earnout Warrants that do not vest in accordance with the earnout vesting conditions set forth in Section 1.16(b).

1.10 Effect of Merger on Company Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any Company Securities or the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Purchaser or Merger Sub:

(a) Company Stock. Subject to clause (b) below, all shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Company Preferred Stock Exchange) will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive the Stockholder Merger Consideration (subject to the withholding of the Stockholder Earnout Shares), with each Company Stockholder being entitled to receive its Stockholder Pro Rata Share of the Stockholder Merger Consideration, without interest, upon delivery of the Transmittal Documents in accordance with Section 1.11. All shares of Company Preferred Stock will be treated on an as-converted to Company Common Stock basis. As of the Effective Time, each Company Stockholder shall cease to have any other rights in and to the Company or the Surviving Corporation (other than the rights set forth in Section 1.15 below).

(b) Treasury Stock. Notwithstanding clause (a) above or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at the Effective Time, if there are any Company Securities that are owned by the Company as treasury shares or any Company Securities owned by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, such Company Securities shall be canceled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

(c) Dissenting Shares. Each of the Dissenting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and cease to exist in accordance with Section 1.15 and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments set forth in Section 1.15.

(d) Company Options and Company Non-Plan Option.

(i) At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option (whether vested or unvested, exercisable or unexercisable) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by the Purchaser and automatically converted into the right to receive (A) an option to acquire shares of Purchaser Common Stock (each, a “Purchaser Option”), described further below, and (B) the Purchaser Earnout RSUs described in subsection (ii) below. Subject to the subsequent sentence, each Purchaser Option that corresponds to a Company Option that was originally granted pursuant to the Company Equity Plan will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in the Company Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the vesting and acceleration provisions therein), except any references therein to the Company or Company Common Stock will instead mean the Purchaser and Purchaser Common Stock, respectively. Each Purchaser Option shall: (i) represent the right to acquire a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to (as rounded down to the nearest whole number) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) ninety percent (90%) of the Conversion Ratio; and (ii) have an exercise price equal to (as rounded up to the nearest whole cent) the quotient of (A) the exercise price of the corresponding Company Option, divided by (B) ninety percent (90%) of the Conversion Ratio.

(ii) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, each holder of an in-the-money Company Option shall receive, with respect to such Company Option, an award of restricted stock units of Purchaser denominated in a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock (each, an “Purchaser Earnout RSU”) equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied

C-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

by (B) ten percent (10%) of the Conversion Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock). The Purchaser Earnout RSUs shall be granted under the Incentive Plan pursuant to award agreements in a form to be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Company prior to the Closing.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, a holder of a Company Option shall be granted a Purchaser Earnout RSU only if such holder remains in continuous service to the Company or its successor through the grant date of such award. In addition, each Purchaser Earnout RSU shall be subject to substantially the same service-based vesting conditions and acceleration provisions as applied to the former Company Option; provided that, in addition to such service-based vesting conditions, (i) one-half of each Purchaser Earnout RSU shall be subject to each of the share-price based performance vesting conditions described in Section 1.16(b)(i) and (ii) the remaining one-half of each Purchaser Earnout RSU shall be subject to each of the share-price based performance vesting conditions described in Section 1.16(b)(ii) (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “RSU Performance Milestones”). If the service of the holder of a Purchaser Earnout RSUs terminates before the RSU Performance Milestones have been satisfied, then the portion of the Purchaser Earnout RSUs for which the service-based vesting conditions have been satisfied (taking in account any acceleration provisions) shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest upon achievement of the applicable RSU Performance Milestone. Any Purchaser Earnout RSUs for which the service-based vested conditions have not been satisfied as of such termination of service (taking in account any acceleration provisions) shall be forfeited and cancelled without payment. If any RSU Performance Milestone fails to be satisfied by the end of the Earnout Period, then the Purchaser Earnout RSUs corresponding to such RSU Performance Milestone shall be forfeited and cancelled without payment as of the end of the Earnout Period.

(iv) At the Effective Time, if the Company Non-Plan Option remains outstanding, it shall be cancelled without payment in accordance with its terms. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall have notified the holder of the Company Non-Plan Option of the Merger and given such holder an opportunity to exercise the Company Non-Plan Option in accordance with Section 11(b)(v) of the Company Non-Plan Option.

(v) The Purchaser shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance a sufficient number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of Purchaser Options and the settlement of Purchaser Earnout RSUs, and shall maintain such reserve for so long as any of the Purchaser Options and Purchaser Earnout RSUs remain outstanding. From and after the Effective Time, the Company and the Purchaser shall not issue any new awards under the Company Equity Plan. Within a reasonably practicable period (subject to SEC rules and guidelines for a former shell company) after the Closing, the Purchaser shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form, or, if Form S-8 is not available, other appropriate forms as may be required under applicable Law) relating to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable with respect to the Purchaser Options and Purchaser Earnout RSUs, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for as long as required to issue Purchaser Common Shares pursuant to the Purchaser Options and Purchaser Earnout RSUs.

(e) Company Warrants.

(i) Each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and that would automatically and fully be net-exercised in accordance with its terms by virtue of the occurrence of the Merger without the requirement of any other election or action by the Company or holder thereof, shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be net-exercised in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time and such Company Warrant shall be cancelled and eligible for the consideration set forth in Section 1.9 based upon the number of shares of Company Stock into which such Company Warrant was automatically exercised (or, with respect to Company Warrants that are convertible into shares of Company Preferred Stock by their terms, based upon the number of shares of Company Stock into which the shares of Company Preferred Stock issuable upon warrant exercise exchange or convert in accordance with the Company Preferred Stock Exchange pursuant to Section 1.7).

C-5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ii) Each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (and which is not automatically and fully exercised in accordance with its terms pursuant to Section 1.10(e)(i)) shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by the Purchaser and converted into (A) a warrant to purchase that number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the product of (1) ninety percent (90%) of the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company Warrant multiplied by (2) the Conversion Ratio (each such warrant, an “New Purchaser Warrant”) and (B) solely with respect to New Purchaser Warrants issued to holders of in-the-money Company Warrants, a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock (the “Warrant Earnout Shares”) equal to the product of (1) ten percent (10%) of the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company Warrant multiplied by (2) the Conversion Ratio (each such warrant, an “Earnout Warrant”, and together with the New Purchaser Warrants, the “Assumed Warrant”), with (i) one-half of the Warrant Earnout Shares underlying each Earnout Warrant being subject to each of the share-price based vesting conditions described in Section 1.16(b)(i) and (ii) the remaining one-half of the Warrant Earnout Shares underlying each such Earnout Warrant being subject to each of the share-price based vesting conditions described in Section 1.16(b)(ii). Each Assumed Warrant shall be in a form mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Company prior to the Closing and, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the respective Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each New Purchaser Warrant and Earnout Warrant shall have an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of the Company Warrant by (y) the Conversion Ratio (which price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Upon exercise of any Assumed Warrant, no evidence of book-entry shares representing fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall be issuable thereunder; in lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Purchaser shall round down to the nearest whole share of Purchaser Common Stock.

(f) Company Convertible Notes. Prior to the Effective Time, all of the Company Convertible Notes shall have been exercised and all of the shares of Company Class E Preferred Stock into which such Company Convertible Notes converted shall have been exchanged or converted for shares of Company Common Stock as part of the Company Preferred Stock Exchange in accordance with Section 1.7 as part of the Company Preferred Stock Exchange.

(g) Other Company Convertible Securities. Any Company Convertible Security other than a Company Option or Company Warrant, if not exercised or converted prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled, retired and terminated and cease to represent a right to acquire, be exchanged for or convert into shares of Company Stock.

1.11 Surrender of Company Securities and Disbursement of Merger Consideration.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall appoint its transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, or another agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of exchanging the certificates representing Company Stock (“Company Certificates”) for Stockholder Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent the Stockholder Merger Consideration (less the Stockholder Earnout Shares, which will be deposited in the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 1.16). At or prior to the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each Company Stockholder, a letter of transmittal for use in such exchange (a “Letter of Transmittal”) in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Purchaser.

(b) Each Company Stockholder shall be entitled to receive its Stockholder Pro Rata Share of the Stockholder Merger Consideration (less the Stockholder Earnout Shares) in respect of the Company Stock represented by the Company Certificate(s) (excluding any Company Securities described in Sections 1.10(b) or 1.10(c)), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but subject to the delivery to the Exchange Agent of the following items prior thereto (collectively, the “Transmittal Documents”) in forms to be mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Company prior to the Closing: (i) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and (ii) such other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent or the Purchaser. Until so surrendered, each Company

C-6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration (subject to the withholding of the Stockholder Earnout Shares) attributable to such Company Certificate.

(c) If any portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration is to be delivered or issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Company Certificate is registered immediately prior to the Effective Time, it shall be a condition to such delivery that (i) the transfer of such Company Stock shall have been permitted in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Organizational Documents and any stockholders agreement with respect to the Company, each as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) such Company Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and, (iii) the recipient of such portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration, or the Person in whose name such portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration is delivered or issued, shall have already executed and delivered, if a Significant Company Holder, a counterpart to a Lock-Up Agreement (or if Gregory Kress, the Non-Competition Agreement), and such other Transmittal Documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Exchange Agent or the Purchaser and (iv) the Person requesting such delivery shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such delivery to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Company Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, the Purchaser or the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the applicable portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.11. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date of this Agreement with respect to Purchaser Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holders of any Company Certificates that have not yet been surrendered with respect to the Purchaser Common Stock to be issued upon surrender thereof until the holders of record of such Company Certificates shall provide the other Transmittal Documents. Subject to applicable Law, following delivery of the other Transmittal Documents, Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the certificates representing the Purchaser Common Stock issued in exchange therefor and the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Purchaser Common Stock.

(e) All securities issued upon the surrender of Company Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Securities. Any portion of any Earnout Escrow Property disbursed to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement that remains unclaimed by Company Stockholders four (4) years after the Effective Time shall be returned to the Purchaser and any Company Stockholder who has not exchanged its Company Stock for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.11 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Purchaser for payment of the portion of the applicable Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Securities without any interest thereon (but with any dividends paid with respect thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, the Purchaser or any Party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(f) The Purchaser shall not issue Assumed Warrants in respect of Company Warrants until it shall have received from each holder thereof (i) a duly executed Letter of Transmittal with respect to such Company Warrant, and (ii) a duly executed counterpart to an agreement setting forth the terms of the Assumed Warrant in a form to be mutually agreed upon prior to the Closing by the Company and the Purchaser, which, among other matters, will release the Company from its obligations with respect to the Company Warrant.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such

C-7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

holder) shall instead have the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of Purchaser Common Stock.

1.12 Effect of Transaction on Merger Sub Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any Company Securities or the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Purchaser or Merger Sub, each share of Merger Sub Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an equal number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.13 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Company and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

1.14 Company Loans to Holders of Company Securities. In the event that the loan set forth in Schedule 1.14 remains outstanding as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration payable to such holder of Company Securities pursuant to Section 1.10 hereof shall be reduced by a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (x) the outstanding principal amount of such loan, plus accrued interest, if any, as of the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Redemption Price.

1.15 Appraisal Rights. No Company Stockholder who has validly exercised its appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) with respect to its Company Stock (such shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall be entitled to receive any portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration with respect to the Dissenting Shares owned by such Dissenting Stockholder unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder shall have effectively withdrawn or lost its appraisal rights under the DGCL. Each Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment resulting from the procedure set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to the Dissenting Shares owned by such Dissenting Stockholder. The Company shall give the Purchaser and the Purchaser Representative (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Laws that are received by the Company relating to any Dissenting Stockholder’s rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Purchaser Representative, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for all purposes of this Agreement, the Stockholder Merger Consideration (including the Stockholder Earnout Shares) shall be reduced by the Stockholder Pro Rata Share of any Dissenting Stockholders attributable to any Dissenting Shares and the Dissenting Stockholders shall have no rights to any portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration (or Stockholder Earnout Shares) with respect to any Dissenting Shares.

1.16 Earnout and Escrow.

(a) At or prior to the Closing, the Seller Representative and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or such other escrow agent mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and the Company), as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), shall enter into an Escrow Agreement, effective as of the Effective Time, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Company (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchaser shall issue in the name of the Company Stockholders the Stockholder Earnout Shares, each valued at the Redemption Price. Purchaser shall deposit such Stockholder Earnout Shares with the Escrow Agent to be held, along with any other dividends, distributions or other income on such Stockholder Earnout Shares (together with such Stockholder Earnout Shares, the “Earnout Escrow Property”), in a segregated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) and disbursed therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.16 and the Escrow Agreement. The Company Stockholders shall be shown as registered owners of such Stockholder Earnout Shares on the books and records of Purchaser, and subject to any limitations set forth in this Section 1.16, shall be entitled to exercise voting rights and to receive dividends (if declared) with respect to such Stockholder Earnout Shares (other than

C-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

non-taxable stock dividends, which shall be included as part of the Earnout Escrow Property). The Earnout Escrow Property shall be allocated among and transferred to the Company Stockholders pro rata based on their Stockholder Pro Rata Share as additional consideration from the Purchaser based on the performance of the Purchaser’s Common Stock during the three (3) year period after the Closing (the “Earnout Period”) in accordance with this Section 1.16, which Stockholder Pro Rata Share shall be payable to such Company Stockholders in the form of Stockholder Earnout Shares and any related dividends, distributions or other income thereon. Unless otherwise required by Law, all distributions made from the Escrow Account to the Purchaser shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the number of shares of Merger Consideration received by the Company Stockholders pursuant to Article I hereof.

(b) Distributions of Earnout Escrow Property shall be made, subject to receipt of the necessary Transmittal Documents in accordance with Section 1.11, from the Escrow Account upon the occurrence and continuation of the following events, if any:

(i) In the event that the VWAP of the Purchaser Common Stock equals or exceeds $14.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations and similar transactions after the Closing) (the “Tier I Share Price Target”) for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days during the Earnout Period, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (A) each Company Stockholder in whose name Stockholder Earnout Shares are issued shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Account its Stockholder Pro Rata Share of 50% (one half) of the Earnout Escrow Property, (B) 50% (one-half) of the share-price based performance vesting condition of each Purchaser Earnout RSU shall be deemed satisfied and (C) 50% (one-half) of the share-price based vesting condition of each Earnout Warrant shall be deemed satisfied.

(ii) In the event that the VWAP of the Purchaser Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations and similar transactions after the Closing) (the “Tier II Share Price Target”, and together with the Tier I Share Price Target, the “Share Price Targets”) for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days during the Earnout Period, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (A) each Company Stockholder in whose name Stockholder Earnout Shares are issued shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Account its Stockholder Pro Rata Share of the remaining Earnout Escrow Property, (B) the share-price based performance vesting condition of each Purchaser Earnout RSU shall be deemed satisfied in full and (C) the share-price based vesting condition of each Earnout Warrant shall be deemed satisfied in full.

(iii) For purposes hereof, the thirty-day periods may be overlapping, such that both targets may be achieved simultaneously or within thirty days of each other.

(c) After the Closing, the Purchaser’s Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) will monitor the VWAP of Purchaser Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which Purchaser Common Stock is then traded on each Trading Day during the Earnout Period, and as soon as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the end of each monthly anniversary of the Closing during the Earnout Period, the Purchaser’s CFO will prepare and deliver to each of the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative (together, the “Party Representatives”) a written statement (each, an “Earnout Statement”) that sets forth (i) the VWAP of Purchaser Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which Purchaser Common Stock is then traded on each Trading Day for such monthly anniversary period then ended and the preceding monthly periods during the Earnout Period and (ii) whether one, both or neither Share Price Target has been achieved during the Earnout Period. Each Party Representative will have fifteen (15) Business Days after its receipt of an Earnout Statement to review it. Each Party Representative may make inquiries to the Purchaser’s CFO and related Purchaser and Surviving Corporation personnel and advisors regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Earnout Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and the Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection therewith. If either Party Representative has any objections to an Earnout Statement, such Party Representative shall deliver to the Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation (to the attention of the CFO) and the other Party Representative a statement setting forth its objections thereto (in reasonable detail). If such written statement is not delivered by a Party Representative within twenty (20) Business Days following the date

C-9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of delivery of each Earnout Statement, then such Party Representative will have waived its right to contest such Earnout Statement and the calculation of the VWAP of Purchaser Common Stock during the applicable portion of the Earnout Period (and whether the Share Price Targets has been achieved) as set forth in such Earnout Statement. If such written statement is delivered by a Party Representative within such twenty (20) Business Day period, then the Seller Representative and the Purchaser Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections for a period of ten (10) Business Day. If the Purchaser Representatives do not reach a final resolution during such ten (10) Business Day period, then the final determination of the VWAP of Purchaser Common Stock during the applicable portion of the Earnout Period then the dispute shall be referred to the independent directors serving on the Purchaser’s board of directors at such time that are disinterested in the Stockholder Earnout Shares, Earnout Warrants, Purchaser Earnout RSUs (i.e., such independent director is not a Company Stockholder, an Affiliate of a Company Stockholder, or an officer, director, manager, employee, trustee or beneficiary of a Company Stockholder, nor an immediate family member of any of the foregoing) (each, a “Disinterested Independent Director”), who shall determine, by vote or consent of a majority of the Disinterested Independent Directors, whether one, both, or neither Share Price Target has been achieved and whether the Company Security Holders are entitled to receive Stockholder Earnout Shares, satisfy the share-price based performance vesting condition of the Purchaser Earnout RSUs or satisfy the share-price based vesting condition of the Earnout Warrants, as applicable, as a result thereof.

(d) If there is a final determination in accordance with Section 1.16(c) that the applicable Company Security Holders are entitled to receive Stockholder Earnout Shares or Purchaser Earnout RSUs, or whether the share-based vesting condition of the Earnout Warrants have been satisfied, as applicable, for having achieved the Tier I Price Target, the Tier II Price Target, or both, 50% or 100% of the Earnout Escrow Property, as applicable, within three (3) Business Days of such final determination, the Representative Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with joint written instructions to release the Earnout Escrow Property to the applicable Company Security Holders. In the event that one or both of the Share Price Targets are not achieved, there shall be partial disbursements, or no disbursements, as applicable, of Earnout Escrow Property from the Escrow Account and all or a portion, as applicable, of the Earnout Shares shall be delivered from the Escrow Account to the Purchaser, to be cancelled by the Purchaser.

(e) Following the Closing (including during the Earnout Period), the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies, will be entitled to operate their respective businesses based upon the business requirements of the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries. Each of the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies will be permitted, following the Closing (including during the Earnout Period), to make changes at its sole discretion to its operations, organization, personnel, accounting practices and other aspects of its business, including actions that may have an impact on, the share price of Purchaser Common Stock and the ability of Company Security Holders to earn the Stockholder Earnout Shares, satisfy the share-price based performance vesting condition of the Purchaser Earnout RSUs or satisfy the share-price based vesting condition of the Earnout Warrants, as applicable, the Company Security Holders will not have any right to claim the loss of all or any portion of any Stockholder Earnout Shares, the Purchaser Earnout RSUs, the Earnout Warrants or other damages as a result of such decisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies, not to, take or omit to take any action that has the primary purpose of avoiding, reducing or preventing the achievement or attainment of the Share Price Targets.

(f) Any payment made pursuant to Section 1.16 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by a change in applicable Tax Law.

No Target Company is a party to or bound by any Tax indemnity agreement, Tax sharing agreement or Tax allocation agreement or similar agreement, arrangement or practice documented in writing (excluding commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business the primary purpose of which is not Taxes) with respect to material Taxes that will be binding on any Target Company with respect to any period following the Closing Date.

The Company has provided to the Purchaser a true and complete copy of each of the Company Real Property Leases, and in the case of any oral Company Real Property Lease, a written summary of the material terms of such Company Real Property Lease. The Company Real Property Leases are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and are in full force and effect, subject to Enforceability Exceptions. No Target Company is under any obligation to carry out material improvements, repairs or reinstatements during or at the end of any of the Company Real Property Leases, nor has any Target Company received any order or instruction with respect to any such improvements, repairs or reinstatements from any other party under any of the Company Real Property Leases or pursuant to any applicable Law. To the Knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred which (whether with or without notice, lapse of time or both or the happening or occurrence of any other event) would constitute a default on the part of a Target Company or, as of the date of this Agreement, any other party under any of the Company Real Property Leases, and, as of the date of this Agreement, no Target Company has received notice of any such condition. No Target Company owns or has ever owned any real property or any interest in real property (other than the leasehold interests in the Company Real Property Leases).

Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, as of the date of this Agreement all such items of Personal Property are in good operating condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted consistent with the age of such items), and are suitable for their intended use in the business of the Target Companies. The operation of each Target Company’s business as it is now conducted or presently proposed to be conducted is not in any material respect dependent upon the right to use the Personal Property of Persons other than a Target Company, except for such Personal Property that is owned, leased or licensed by or otherwise contracted to a Target Company. The Company has provided to the Purchaser a true and complete copy of each of the Company Personal Property Leases, and in the case of any oral Company Personal Property Lease, a written summary of the material terms of such Company Personal Property Lease. The Company Personal Property Leases are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and are in full force and effect.

As of the date of this Agreement, to the Knowledge of the Company, there is no pending request by employees of a Target Company to have installed a Dutch “works council” to represent such employees,

C-28

nor has any such request been made during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of this Agreement. Schedule 4.18(a) sets forth all Actions involving unresolved labor controversies (including age or other discrimination claims or unfair labor practice claims), if any, that, as of the date of this Agreement, are pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened between any Target Company and Persons employed by or providing services as independent contractors to a Target Company. There has not occurred or, to the Knowledge of the Company, been threatened any strike, slow-down, picketing, work-stoppage, or other similar labor activity with respect to any such employees.

4.19 Benefit Plans.

(a) Set forth on Schedule 4.19(a) is a true and complete list of each material Benefit Plan of a Target Company as of the date hereof (each, a “Company Benefit Plan”). With respect to each Company Benefit Plan, there are no funded benefit obligations for which contributions have not been made or properly accrued and there are no unfunded benefit obligations that have not been accounted for by reserves, or otherwise properly footnoted in accordance with GAAP on the Company Financials. No Target Company is or has in the past been a member of a “controlled group” for purposes of Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code with respect to any person or entity other than another Target Company, nor does any Target Company have any Liability with respect to any collectively-bargained for benefit plans, whether or not subject to the provisions of ERISA.

(b) Each Company Benefit Plan is and has been operated at all times in compliance with all applicable Laws in all material respects, including ERISA and the Code. Each Company Benefit Plan which is intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (i) has been determined by the IRS to be so qualified (or is based on a prototype plan which has received a favorable opinion letter) during the period from its adoption to the date of this Agreement and (ii) its related trust has been determined to be exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code or the Target Companies have requested an initial favorable IRS determination of qualification and/or exemption within the period permitted by applicable Law. To the Company’s Knowledge, no fact exists that could adversely affect the qualified status of such Company Benefit Plans or the exempt status of such trusts.

(c) With respect to each Company Benefit Plan that covers any current or former officer, director, consultant or employee (or beneficiary thereof) of a Target Company, the Company has made available to Purchaser accurate and complete copies, if applicable, of: (i) all Company Benefit Plans and related trust agreements or annuity Contracts (including any amendments, modifications or supplements thereto); (ii) all summary plan descriptions and material modifications thereto; (iii) the three (3) most recent Forms 5500, if applicable, and annual report, including all schedules thereto; (iv) the most recent annual and periodic accounting of plan assets; (v) the three (3) most recent nondiscrimination testing reports; (vi) the most recent determination letter received from the IRS, if any; (vii) the most recent actuarial valuation; and (viii) all material communications with any Governmental Authority within the last three (3) years.

(d) With respect to each Company Benefit Plan: (i) to the Knowledge of the Company, no breach of fiduciary duty that could reasonably be expected to result in Liability to any Target Company has occurred; (ii) no Action is pending, or to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened (other than routine claims for benefits arising in the ordinary course of administration); and (iii) no prohibited transaction, as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, has occurred that could reasonably be likely to result in liability to any Target Company, excluding transactions effected pursuant to a statutory or administration exemption.

(e) During the six (6) year period preceding the Effective Time, no Target Company or any of their ERISA Affiliates has maintained, contributed to, or had an obligation to contribute to (i) a “defined benefit plan” (as defined in Section 414(j) of the Code), (ii) a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) or (iii) a “multiple employer plan” (as described in Section 413(c) of the Code). No Company Benefit Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, and neither the Target Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any Liability, contingent or otherwise, under Title IV of ERISA and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no condition presently exists that is expected to cause such Liability to be incurred. No Company Benefit Plan will become a multiple employer plan with respect to any Target Company immediately after the Closing Date. No Target Company currently maintains or has ever maintained, or is required currently or has ever been required to contribute to or otherwise participate in, a multiple employer welfare arrangement or voluntary employees’ beneficiary association as defined in Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

(f) With respect to each Company Benefit Plan that is a “welfare plan” (as described in Section 3(1) of ERISA): (i) no such plan provides medical or death benefits with respect to current or former

C-30

TABLE OF CONTENTS

employees of a Target Company beyond their termination of employment (other than coverage mandated by Law); and (ii) there are no reserves, assets, surplus or prepaid premiums under any such plan. Each Target Company has complied in all material respects with the provisions of Section 601 et seq. of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code.

(g) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents will not, by itself: (i) entitle any individual to severance pay, unemployment compensation or other benefits or compensation or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of any compensation due, or in respect of, any individual. No Target Company has incurred any Liability for any Tax imposed under Chapter 43 of the Code or civil liability under Section 502(i) or (l) of ERISA.

(h) Except to the extent required by Section 4980B of the Code or similar state Law, no Target Company provides health or welfare benefits to any former or retired employee or is obligated to provide such benefits to any active employee following such employee’s retirement or other termination of employment or service.

(i) Each Company Benefit Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code (each, a “Section 409A Plan”) has been administered in compliance, and is in documentary compliance, in each case in all material respects, with the applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code, the regulations thereunder and other official guidance issued thereunder. There is no Contract or plan to which any Target Company is a party or by which it is bound to compensate any employee, consultant or director for any Taxes or interest imposed pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

(j) The Company has made available to the Purchaser complete and accurate copies of the Company Equity Plan and forms of agreements used thereunder, and the stock option agreement evidencing the Company Non-Plan Option. Schedule 4.3(b) sets forth the beneficial and record owners of all outstanding Company Options and the Company Non-Plan Option as of the date of this Agreement (including the grant date, number and type of shares issuable thereunder, the exercise price, the expiration date and any vesting schedule).

(k) Each Company Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under the Code so qualifies. Each grant of a Company Option and Company Non-Plan Option was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant of such Company Option or Company Non-Plan Option was by its terms to be effective by all necessary corporate action, and: (i) the stock option agreement governing such grant was duly executed and delivered by each party thereto (including electronic execution and delivery); (ii) each such grant was made in accordance with the terms of the Company Equity Plan (except for the Company Non-Plan Option) and all other applicable Laws; (iii) the per share exercise price of each Company Option and Company Non-Plan Option was equal or greater than the fair market value (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) of a share of Company Common Stock on the applicable grant date; and (iv) each such grant was properly accounted for in accordance with GAAP in the financial statements (including the related notes) of the Company.

(l) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in all material respects in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of all applicable Laws and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. Each Target Company has complied in all material respects with the requirements of any Foreign Statutory Plan. As of the date of this Agreement, all contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan or a Foreign Statutory Plan have been timely made. As of the date of this Agreement, no Target Company has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Foreign Pension Plan or Foreign Statutory Plan. No Target Company located outside of the United States is an “own risk bearer” (eigen risico drager) for any statutory social benefits. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Target Company’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

4.20 Environmental Matters. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.20:

(a) Each Target Company is and has been in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, including obtaining, maintaining in good standing, and complying in all material

(b) No Target Company is the subject of any outstanding Order or Contract with any Governmental Authority or other Person in respect of any (i) Environmental Laws, (ii) Remedial Action, or (iii) Release or threatened Release of a Hazardous Material.

(d) No Target Company has manufactured, treated, stored, disposed of, arranged for or permitted the disposal of, generated, handled or Released any Hazardous Material, or owned or operated any property or facility, in a manner that has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to any material Liability or obligation under applicable Environmental Laws. To the Company’s Knowledge, no fact, circumstance, or condition exists in respect of any Target Company or any property currently or formerly owned, operated, or leased by any Target Company or any property to which a Target Company arranged for the disposal or treatment of Hazardous Materials that could reasonably be expected to result in a Target Company incurring any material Environmental Liabilities.

(e) To the Knowledge of the Company, there is no investigation of the business, operations, or currently owned, operated, or leased property of a Target Company or previously owned, operated, or leased property of a Target Company pending or threatened that could lead to the imposition of any Liens under any Environmental Law or material Environmental Liabilities.

No event has occurred, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no condition or circumstance exists, that would reasonably be expected to (with or without notice or lapse of time) give rise to or serve as a basis for the denial of any such insurance claim.

Each of the Parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify all other Parties of any challenge to the treatment described in this Section 5.11 by any Governmental Authority.

The Purchaser shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and cause the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the Purchaser stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Purchaser’s Organizational Documents; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not amend or supplement the Registration Statement without prior consultation with the Company as is reasonable under the circumstances.

5.19 Post-Closing Board of Directors and Executive Officers.

(a) The Parties shall take all necessary action, including causing the directors of the Purchaser to resign, so that effective as of the Closing, the Purchaser’s board of directors (the “Post-Closing Purchaser Board”) will consist of seven (7) individuals. Immediately after the Closing, the Parties shall take all necessary action to designate and appoint to the Post-Closing Purchaser Board (i) the two (2) persons that are designated by the Purchaser prior to the Closing (the “Purchaser Directors”), both of whom shall qualify as an independent director under NYSE rules, (ii) the four (4) persons that are designated by the Company prior to the Closing (the “Company Directors”), all but one (1) of whom shall be required to qualify as an independent director under NYSE rules and (iii) one (1) additional person, who shall qualify as an independent director under NYSE rules, mutually agreed upon prior to the Closing by the Purchaser and the Company. In accordance with the Purchaser Organizational Documents as in effect at the Closing, the Post-Closing Purchaser Board will be a classified board with three classes of directors, with (I) one class of directors, the Class I Directors (constituting the two (2) Company Directors who qualify as independent), initially serving a one (1) year term, such initial term effective from the Closing until the first annual meeting of the Purchaser shareholders after the Closing (but any subsequent Class I Directors serving a three (3) year term), (II) a second class of directors, the Class II Directors (constituting the Purchaser Directors), initially serving a two (2) year term, such initial term effective from the Closing until the second annual meeting of the Purchaser shareholders after the Closing (but any subsequent Class II Directors serving a three (3) year term), and (III) a third a class of directors, the Class III Directors (constituting the remaining Company Directors) serving a three (3) year term. In accordance with the Amended Organizational Documents, no director on the Post-Closing Purchaser Board may be removed without cause. At or prior to the Closing, the Purchaser will provide each member of the Post-Closing Purchaser Board with a customary director indemnification agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such director, to be effective upon the Closing (or if later, upon such director’s appointment).

(b) The Parties shall take all action necessary, including causing the executive officers of Purchaser to resign, so that the individuals serving as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively, of Purchaser immediately after the Closing will be the same individuals (in the same office) as that of the Company immediately prior to the Closing (unless, at its sole discretion, the Company desires to appoint another qualified person to either such role, in which case, such other person identified by the Company shall serve in such role).

5.20 Indemnification of Directors and Officers; Tail Insurance.

C-48

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Documents or under any indemnification, employment or other similar agreements between any D&O Indemnified Person and the Purchaser or Merger Sub, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms to the extent permitted by applicable Law. For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall cause the Organizational Documents of the Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation and indemnification of and advancement of expenses to D&O Indemnified Persons than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Organizational Documents of the Purchaser and Merger Sub to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The provisions of this Section 5.20 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons and their respective heirs and representatives.

(b) For the benefit of the Purchaser’s and Merger Sub’s directors and officers, the Purchaser shall be permitted at or prior to the Effective Time to obtain and fully pay the premium for a “tail” insurance policy that provides coverage for up to a six-year period from and after the Effective Time for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Tail Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than the Purchaser’s existing policy or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage. If obtained, the Purchaser shall maintain the D&O Tail Insurance in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder, and the Purchaser shall timely pay or caused to be paid all premiums with respect to the D&O Tail Insurance.

5.21 Trust Account Proceeds. The Parties agree that after the Closing, the funds in the Trust Account, after taking into account payments for the Redemption, and any proceeds received by the Purchaser from any PIPE Investment shall first be used to pay (a) the Purchaser’s accrued Expenses, (b) the Purchaser’s deferred Expenses (including cash amounts, if any, payable to the IPO Underwriter and any legal fees) of the IPO, (c) any loans owed by the Purchaser to the Sponsor for any Expenses (including deferred Expenses), other administrative costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or Extension Expenses and (d) any other Liabilities of the Purchaser as of the Closing, including the Purchaser’s obligations in respect of the HSR Fee Loan, if any. Such Expenses, as well as any Expenses that are required to be paid by delivery of the Purchaser’s securities, will be paid at the Closing. Any remaining cash will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation.

5.22 PIPE Investment. The Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions of the PIPE Investors’ closing obligations contained in the Subscription Agreements and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The Purchaser shall not terminate, or amend or waive in any manner materially adverse to the Purchaser, any Subscription Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), other than (i) as expressly provided for by the terms of the Subscription Agreements or (ii) to reflect any permitted assignments or transfers of the Subscription Agreements by the applicable PIPE Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements. Each of the Purchaser and, as applicable, the Company, shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid being in breach or default under the Subscription Agreements. Additionally, during the Interim Period, the Purchaser may, but shall not be required to, enter into and consummate additional Subscription Agreements with additional PIPE Investors, including in the event that there is an actual or threatened material breach or default by a PIPE Investor under a Subscription Agreement, or the Purchaser reasonably believes in good faith that such PIPE Investor otherwise is not willing or able to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby upon the satisfaction of the conditions of such PIPE Investor’s closing obligations thereunder, which additional Subscription Agreements shall become part of the PIPE Investment hereunder; provided, that the terms of such additional Subscription Agreements shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), be materially worse to the Purchaser or the Company than those set forth in existing Subscription Agreements. If the Purchaser elects to seek such additional Subscription Agreements (with, solely with respect to any additional Subscription Agreements containing terms that are substantially different from the terms of Subscription Agreements then in effect, the Company’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Purchaser and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, cooperate with each other and their respective Representatives in connection with such additional Subscription Agreements and use their respective reasonable efforts to cause such additional Subscription Agreements to

C-49

be executed and the transactions contemplated thereby to occur (including having the Company’s senior management participate in any investor meetings and roadshows as reasonably requested by the Purchaser). The Purchaser will deliver to the Company true, correct and complete copies of each Subscription Agreement entered into by the Purchaser and any other Contracts between the Purchaser and PIPE Investors that could affect the obligation of such PIPE Investors to contribute to the Purchaser their applicable portion of the aggregate gross proceeds of the PIPE Investment as set forth in the Subscription Agreement of such PIPE Investor. The Company shall not enter into any Contract with a PIPE Investor during the Interim Period without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

5.23 Additional Agreements

The Transaction Bonus RSUs shall be settled in shares of Purchaser Common Stock no later than the 74th day following the date of grant. Prior to such settlement, the Purchaser shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form, or, if Form S-8 is not available, other appropriate forms as may be required under applicable Law) with respect to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Transaction Bonus RSUs. Each award of Transaction Bonus RSUs shall be subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan and an award agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Company and finalized prior to the Closing.

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser and certain Company Stockholders who will be Affiliates of the Purchaser immediately after the Closing shall enter into a registration rights agreement in a form to be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Company (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) to provide such Company Stockholders with registration rights that are substantially similar in all material respects to, and pari passu with, the registration rights of the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital pursuant that that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2019, by and among the Purchaser, the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital (subject to the amendment contemplated by Section 5.23(d)).

(d) Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser, the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital shall enter into an amendment, in a form to be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Company(the “Founder Registration Rights Amendment”), to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2019, by and among the Purchaser, the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital reflecting that the registration rights of the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital thereunder will be pari passu with the registration rights provided to applicable Company Stockholders under the Registration Rights Agreement.

For and in consideration of the Purchaser entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the Seller Representative hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company or the Seller Representative nor any of their respective Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between Purchaser or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company, the Seller Representative or any of their respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Each of the Company and the Seller Representative on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that any such Party or any of its Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Purchaser or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with Purchaser or its Affiliates). The Company and the Seller Representative each agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Purchaser and its Affiliates to induce Purchaser to enter in this Agreement, and each of the Company and the Seller Representative further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent that the Company or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Purchaser or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Purchaser or its Representatives, each of the Company and the Seller Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that its and its Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Company or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates commences Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Purchaser or its Representatives which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Shareholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, Purchaser and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Company, the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders) and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such Action, in the event Purchaser or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such Action. This Section 8.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely.

9.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in New York, New York (or in any appellate court thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). Each Party hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

9.8 Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby (including by the Purchaser Representative or the Seller Representative in lieu of such Party to the extent provided in this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement after the Closing shall also require the prior written consent of the Purchaser Representative.

9.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents or instruments referred to herein, including any exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which exhibits and schedules are incorporated herein by reference, together with the Ancillary Documents, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.

If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have the powers theretofore possessed by the Board, including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to either the Board or the Administrator shall hereafter also encompass the Committee or subcommittee, as applicable). The Board may abolish the Committee’s delegation at any time and the Board shall at all times also retain the authority it has delegated to the Committee. The Administrator shall comply with rules and regulations applicable to it, including under the rules of any exchange on which the Common Shares are traded, and shall have the authority and be responsible for such functions as have been assigned to it.

2.2 Section 16. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder will be approved by the entire Board or a Committee of two or more “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 16b-3.

2.3 Powers of Administrator. Subject to the terms of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated to the Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority to (a) select the Service Providers who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) determine the type, number, vesting requirements and other features, terms and conditions of such Awards (including the form of settlement in cash, Common Shares or other securities, Awards or property), (c) determine performance criteria for the Awards and whether such performance criteria has been attained, (d) interpret the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan, (e) make, amend and rescind rules relating to the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan, including rules relating to sub-plans established for the purposes of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws, (f) accelerate the vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on, Awards, (g) impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant of any Common Shares issued pursuant to an Award, including restrictions under an insider trading policy and restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales, and (h) make all other decisions relating to the operation of the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan. In addition, with regard to the terms and conditions of Awards granted to Service Providers outside of the United States or not subject to taxation under the laws of the United States, the Administrator may vary from the provisions of the Plan to the extent it determines it necessary and appropriate to do so, including, where applicable, varying from the requirements set forth in Articles 5.3 and 6.3.

2.4 Effect of Administrator’s Decisions. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties.

2.5 Delegation of Authority to Senior Officers. The Administrator may delegate, on such terms and conditions as it determines in its discretion, to one or more senior officers of the Company the authority to make grants of Awards to officers (other than any officer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act), Employees and Consultants of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates (including any prospective officer (other than any such officer who is expected to be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act), Employee or Consultant) and all necessary and appropriate decisions and determinations with respect thereto.

2.6 Awards to Outside Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board may, in its discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards to Outside Directors or administer the Plan with respect to such Awards. In any such case, the Board shall have all the authority and responsibility granted to the Administrator herein.

2.7 No Rights to Awards or Uniformity of Treatment. No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Administrator’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.

2.8 Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (except its choice-of-law provisions).

ARTICLE 3. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS.

3.1 Basic Limitation. Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The aggregate number of Common Shares issued under the Plan shall not exceed [ ] Common Shares, (the “Plan Share Limit”), which amount is subject to increase as described in Article 3.2. The Plan Share Limit shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 9.

3.2 Annual Increase in Available Shares. On the first day of each calendar year during the term of the Plan, commencing on January 1, 2022 and continuing until (and including) January 1, 2031, the number of Common Shares available under the Plan Share Limit shall automatically increase by a number equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding on December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the date of such increase and (b) a number of Common Shares determined by the Board.

3.3 Shares Returned to Reserve. To the extent that an Option, SAR, Restricted Stock Unit or other Award granted under the Plan is forfeited, cancelled, terminated or expires for any reason without the delivery of all Common Shares subject thereto, or is settled other than wholly by delivery of Common Shares (including cash settlement), then the number of Common Shares subject to such Award that were not issued with respect to such Award will not be treated as issued and will not count against the Plan Share Limit. If SARs are exercised or Restricted Stock Units are settled, then only the number of Common Shares (if any) actually issued to the Participant upon exercise of such SARs or settlement of such Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, shall reduce the number of Common Shares available under the Plan Share Limit and the balance shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If Restricted Shares or Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Options are forfeited or reacquired by the Company pursuant to a repurchase right or for any other reason, then such Common Shares shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. Common Shares applied to pay the Exercise Price of Options or to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to any Award shall again become available for issuance under the Plan(but such Common Shares shall not again become available for issuance as ISOs).

3.4 Awards Not Reducing Share Reserve. To the extent permitted under applicable exchange listing standards, any dividend equivalents paid or credited under the Plan with respect to Restricted Stock Units shall not be applied against the number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan, whether or not such dividend equivalents are converted into Restricted Stock Units. In addition, Common Shares subject to Substitute Awards granted by the Company shall not reduce the number of Common Shares that may be issued under Article 3.1, nor shall Common Shares subject to Substitute Awards again be available for Awards under the Plan in the event of any forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement of such Substitute Awards.

3.5 Director Limit and ISO Limit.

(a) The grant date fair value of Awards granted to an Outside Director during any one fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $500,000 (on a per-Director basis); provided however, that the limitation that will apply in the fiscal year in which the Outside Director is initially appointed or elected to the Board shall instead be $750,000; provided, further, that the Board may make exceptions to such limit for a non-executive chair of the Board or, in extraordinary circumstances, for other individual Outside Directors, as the Board may determine in its discretion, so long as the Outside Director receiving such

E-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

additional compensation does not participate in the decision to award such compensation. For purposes of this limitation, the grant date fair value of an Award shall be determined in accordance with the assumptions that the Company uses to estimate the value of share-based payments for financial reporting purposes. For the sake of clarity, neither (i) Awards granted to an individual while they were an Employee or Consultant, but not an Outside Director, nor (ii) Awards granted pursuant to an Outside Director’s election to receive Awards in lieu of cash retainers or other fees shall count towards this limitation.

(b) No more than [ ] Common Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 9 and taking into account Article 3.3) may be issued under the Plan upon the exercise of ISOs.

ARTICLE 4. ELIGIBILITY.

4.1 Incentive Stock Options. Only Employees who are employees of the Company (or of a Parent or a Subsidiary that qualifies as a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” under Code Section 424) and who are eligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs. In addition, an Employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company (or of a Parent or a Subsidiary that qualifies as a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” under Code Section 424, as applicable) shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless the additional requirements set forth in Code Section 422(c)(5) are satisfied.

4.2 Other Awards. Awards other than ISOs may be granted to any Service Provider.

ARTICLE 5. OPTIONS.

5.1 Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

5.2 Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Common Shares subject to the Option, which number shall adjust in accordance with Article 9.

5.3 Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price, which shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant. The last clause of the preceding sentence shall not apply to an Option that is a Substitute Award granted in a manner that would satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A and, if applicable, Code Section 424(a).

5.4 Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date or event when all or any portion of the Option is to become vested and/or exercisable. The vesting and exercisability conditions applicable to the Option may include service-based conditions, performance-based conditions, such other conditions as the Administrator may determine, or any combination of such conditions. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that, except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable foreign law, the term of an Option shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant. A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting and/or exercisability upon certain specified events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service.

5.5 Death of Optionee. After an Optionee’s death, any vested and exercisable Options held by such Optionee may be exercised by such Optionee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each Optionee may designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company, which beneficiary designation shall be effective only if the prescribed form is received by the Company before the Optionee’s death. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Optionee’s death. If no beneficiary was properly designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Optionee, then any vested and exercisable Options held by the Optionee may be exercised by such Optionee’s estate.

5.6 Modification or Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify, reprice, extend or assume outstanding options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the

E-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price or in return for the grant of a different type of Award. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, materially impair such Optionee’s rights or obligations under such Option.

5.7 Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish.

5.8 Payment for Option Shares. The entire Exercise Price of Common Shares issued upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time when such Common Shares are purchased. In addition, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by applicable law, accept payment of all or a portion of the Exercise Price through any one or a combination of the following forms or methods:

(a) Subject to any conditions or limitations established by the Administrator, by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Common Shares that are already owned by the Optionee with a value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the Common Shares as to which such Option will be exercised;

(b) By delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Common Shares being purchased under the Plan and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company;

(c) Subject to such conditions and requirements as the Administrator may impose from time to time, through a net exercise procedure; or

(d) Through any other form or method consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.

ARTICLE 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

6.1 SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

6.2 Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Common Shares to which the SAR pertains, which number shall adjust in accordance with Article 9.

6.3 Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price, which shall in no event be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant. The last clause of the preceding sentence shall not apply to a SAR that is a Substitute Award granted in a manner that would satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A.

6.4 Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any portion of the SAR is to become vested and exercisable. The vesting and exercisability conditions applicable to the SAR may include service-based conditions, performance-based conditions, such other conditions as the Administrator may determine, or any combination thereof. The SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR; provided that, except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable foreign law, the term of a SAR shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. A SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting and exercisability upon certain specified events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service.

6.5 Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after such Optionee’s death) shall receive from the Company (a) Common Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Common Shares and cash, as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Common Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, not exceed the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Common Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price. If, on the date when a SAR expires, the Exercise Price is less than the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on such date, and any portion of such

E-5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SAR has not been exercised or surrendered, then such SAR shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion. A SAR Agreement may also provide for an automatic exercise of the SAR on an earlier date.

6.6 Death of Optionee. After an Optionee’s death, any vested and exercisable SARs held by such Optionee may be exercised by such Optionee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each Optionee may designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company, which beneficiary designation shall be effective only if the prescribed form is received by the Company before the Optionee’s death. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Optionee’s death. If no beneficiary was properly designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Optionee, then any vested and exercisable SARs held by the Optionee at the time of such Optionee’s death may be exercised by such Optionee’s estate.

6.7 Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify, reprice, extend or assume outstanding stock appreciation rights or may accept the cancellation of outstanding stock appreciation rights (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price or in return for the grant of a different type of Award. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the Optionee, materially impair such Optionee’s rights or obligations under such SAR.

ARTICLE 7. RESTRICTED SHARES.

7.1 Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the Service Provider and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

7.2 Payment for Awards. Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Administrator may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, property, cancellation of other equity awards, promissory notes, past services and future services, and such other methods of payment as are permitted by applicable law.

7.3 Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting and/or other conditions as the Administrator may determine. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. Vesting conditions may include service-based conditions, performance-based conditions, such other conditions as the Administrator may determine, or any combination thereof. A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting upon certain specified events.

7.4 Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other shareholders, unless the Administrator otherwise provides. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require that any cash dividends paid on Restricted Shares (a) be accumulated and paid when such Restricted Shares vest, or (b) be invested in additional Restricted Shares. Any such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeiture as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid. In addition, unless the Administrator provides otherwise, if any dividends or other distributions are paid in Common Shares, such Common Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeiture as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid.

7.5 Modification or Assumption of Restricted Shares. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify or assume outstanding Restricted Shares or may accept the cancellation of outstanding restricted shares (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new Restricted Shares for the same or a different number of shares or in return for the grant of a different type of Award. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of Restricted Shares shall, without the consent of the Participant, materially impair such Participant’s rights or obligations under such Restricted Shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ARTICLE 8. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS.

8.1 Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement between the Service Provider and the Company. Such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

8.2 Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Restricted Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Service Provider.

8.3 Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting, as determined by the Administrator. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Vesting conditions may include service-based conditions, performance-based conditions, such other conditions as the Administrator may determine, or any combination thereof. A Restricted Stock Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting upon certain specified events.

8.4 Voting and Dividend Equivalent Rights. The holders of Restricted Stock Units shall have no voting rights as the Company’s shareholders. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, Restricted Stock Units awarded under the Plan may, at the Administrator’s discretion, provide for a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all dividends paid on one Common Share while the Restricted Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Common Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they attach.

8.5 Form and Time of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Common Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Administrator. The actual number of Restricted Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of converting Restricted Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average value of Common Shares over a series of trading days. Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in such manner and at such time(s) as specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Until an Award of Restricted Stock Units is settled, the number of such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 9.

8.6 Death of Service Provider. Any Restricted Stock Units that become payable after the Service Provider’s death shall be distributed to the Service Provider’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan may designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company, which beneficiary designation shall be effective only if the prescribed form is received by the Company before the Service Provider’s death. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Service Provider’s death. If no beneficiary was properly designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Service Provider, then any Restricted Stock Units that become payable after the Service Provider’s death shall be distributed to the Service Provider’s estate.

8.7 Modification or Assumption of Restricted Stock Units. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify or assume outstanding restricted stock units or may accept the cancellation of outstanding restricted stock units (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new Restricted Stock Units for the same or a different number of shares or in return for the grant of a different type of Award. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a Restricted Stock Unit shall, without the consent of the Participant, materially impair such Participant’s rights or obligations under such Restricted Stock Unit.

8.8 Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Restricted Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

ARTICLE 9. ADJUSTMENTS; DISSOLUTIONS AND LIQUIDATIONS; CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.

9.1 Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Common Shares or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Common Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, proportionate adjustments shall be made to the following (provided, that the Administrator shall determine the method and manner in which to effect such equitable adjustment):

(a) The number and kind of shares available for issuance under Article 3, including the numerical share limits in Articles 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5;

(b) The number and kind of shares covered by each outstanding Option, SAR Restricted Stock Unit or other Award;; and/or

(c) The Exercise Price applicable to each outstanding Option and SAR, and the repurchase price, if any, applicable to Restricted Shares.

In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Common Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Administrator may make such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate to the foregoing. Any adjustment in the number of shares subject to an Award under this Article 9.1 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, although the Administrator in its sole discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share. Except as provided in this Article 9.1, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issuance by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.

9.2 Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Restricted Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

9.3 Corporate Transactions. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, or a Change in Control (other than one described in Article 14.6(d)), all Common Shares acquired under the Plan and all Awards outstanding on the effective date of the transaction shall be treated in the manner described in the definitive transaction agreement (or, in the event the transaction does not entail a definitive agreement to which the Company is party, in the manner determined by the Administrator, with such determination having final and binding effect on all parties), which agreement or determination need not treat all Awards (or portions thereof) in an identical manner. Unless an Award Agreement provides otherwise, the treatment specified in the definitive transaction agreement or by the Administrator may include (without limitation) one or more of the following with respect to each outstanding Award:

(a) The continuation of such outstanding Award by the Company (if the Company is the surviving entity);

(b) The assumption of such outstanding Award by the surviving entity or its parent, provided that the assumption of an Option or a SAR shall comply with applicable tax requirements;

(c) The substitution by the surviving entity or its parent of an equivalent award for such outstanding Award (including, but not limited to, an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the holders of Common Shares in the transaction), provided that the substitution of an Option or a SAR shall comply with applicable tax requirements;

(d) In the case of an Option or SAR, the cancellation of such Award without payment of any consideration. An Optionee shall be able to exercise such Optionee’s outstanding Option or SAR, to the extent such Option or SAR is then vested or becomes vested as of the effective time of the transaction, during a period of not less than five full business days preceding the closing date of the transaction, unless (i) a shorter period is required to permit a timely closing of the transaction and (ii) such shorter period still offers the Optionee a reasonable opportunity to exercise such Option or SAR. Any exercise of such Option or SAR during such period may be contingent on the closing of the transaction;

E-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(e) The cancellation of such Award and a payment to the Participant with respect to each share subject to the portion of the Award that is vested or becomes vested as of the effective time of the transaction equal to the excess of (A) the value, as determined by the Administrator in its absolute discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a Common Share as a result of the transaction, over (if applicable) (B) the per-share Exercise Price of such Award (such excess,if any, the “Spread”). Such payment may be made in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving entity or its parent having a value equal to the Spread. In addition, any escrow, holdback, earn-out or similar provisions in the definitive transaction agreement may apply to such payment to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions apply to the holders of Common Shares. If the Spread applicable to an Award (whether or not vested) is zero or a negative number, then the Award may be cancelled without making a payment to the Participant. In the event that an Award is subject to Code Section 409A, the payment described in this clause (e) shall be made on the settlement date specified in the applicable Award Agreement, provided that settlement may be accelerated in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4); or

(f) The assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of an Award of Restricted Shares to the surviving entity or its parent, with corresponding proportionate adjustments made to the price per share to be paid upon exercise of any such reacquisition or repurchase rights.

Unless an Award Agreement provides otherwise, each outstanding Award held by a Participant who remains a Service Provider as of the effective time of a Change in Control (a “Current Participant”) shall become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the Change in Control, unless such Award is continued, assumed or substituted as provided for in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above. The prior sentence shall not apply to an Award held by a Participant who is not a Current Participant, unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise or unless the Company and the acquirer agree otherwise.

In addition, in the case of an outstanding Award as of the effective time of a Change in Control that is subject to one or more performance-based vesting conditions that have not yet been satisfied, such performance-based vesting conditions shall be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels upon the Change in Control, unless such Award is continued, assumed or substituted as provided for in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above and such performance-based vesting condition remains measurable and applicable, or unless the applicable Award Agreement provides for different treatment.

For avoidance of doubt, the Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an Award is granted or at any time while the Award remains outstanding, to provide for the acceleration of vesting upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, whether or not the Award is to be assumed or replaced in the transaction, or in connection with a termination of the Participant’s Service following a transaction.

Any action taken under this Article 9.3 shall either preserve an Award’s status as exempt from Code Section 409A or comply with Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE 10. OTHER AWARDS.

Subject in all events to the limitations under Article 3 above as to the number of Common Shares available for issuance under this Plan, the Company may grant other forms of cash-based, equity-based or equity-related Awards not specifically described herein that the Administrator determines are consistent with the purpose of the Plan and the interests of the Company. In addition, the Company may grant awards under other plans or programs, where such awards are settled in the form of Common Shares issued under this Plan. Such Common Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Common Shares issued in settlement of Restricted Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Common Shares available under Article 3.

ARTICLE 11. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS.

11.1 Retention Rights. Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain a Service Provider. The Company and its Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates

E-9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reserve the right to terminate the Service of any Service Provider at any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable laws, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws and a written employment agreement (if any).

11.2 Shareholders’ Rights. Except as set forth in Article 7.4 or 8.4 above, a Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a shareholder with respect to any Common Shares covered by such Participant’s Award prior to the time when a stock certificate for such Common Shares is issued or, if applicable, the time when they become entitled to receive such Common Shares by filing any required notice of exercise and paying any required Exercise Price. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such time, except as expressly provided in the Plan.

11.3 Regulatory Requirements. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue Common Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approval by any regulatory body as may be required. The Company reserves the right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Common Shares pursuant to any Award prior to the satisfaction of all legal requirements relating to the issuance of such Common Shares, to their registration, qualification or listing or to an exemption from registration, qualification or listing. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed necessary by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Common Shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained.

11.4 Transferability of Awards. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit transfer of an Award in a manner consistent with applicable law (including, other than an ISO, to a “family member” as such term is defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 (whether by gift or a domestic relations order)). Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Awards shall be transferable by a Participant only by (a) beneficiary designation, (b) a will or (c) the laws of descent and distribution; provided that, in any event, an ISO may only be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or by the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative. Any transferee shall be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement relating to the transferred Award and shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the Company evidencing such obligations.

11.5 Recoupment Policy. All Awards granted under the Plan, all amounts paid under the Plan and all Common Shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to recoupment, clawback or recovery by the Company in accordance with applicable law and with Company policy (whenever adopted) regarding same, whether or not such policy is intended to satisfy the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or other applicable law, as well as any implementing regulations and/or listing standards.

11.6 Other Conditions and Restrictions on Common Shares. Any Common Shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to such forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal, other transfer restrictions and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine. Such conditions and restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Common Shares generally. In addition, Common Shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions imposed either by applicable law or by Company policy, as adopted from time to time, designed to ensure compliance with applicable law or laws with which the Company determines in its sole discretion to comply including in order to maintain any statutory, regulatory or tax advantage.

ARTICLE 12. TAXES.

12.1 General. It is a condition to each Award under the Plan that a Participant or such Participant’s successor shall make such arrangements that may be necessary, in the opinion of the Administrator or the Company, for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with any Award granted under the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Common Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan unless such obligations are satisfied.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

12.2 Share Withholding. To the extent that applicable law subjects a Participant to tax withholding obligations, the Administrator may permit such Participant to satisfy all or part of such obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Common Shares that otherwise would be issued to such Participant or by surrendering all or a portion of any Common Shares that they previously acquired. Such Common Shares shall be valued on the date when they are withheld or surrendered. Any payment of taxes by assigning Common Shares to the Company may be subject to restrictions, including any restrictions required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, accounting or other rules.

12.3 Section 409A Matters. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in an Award Agreement, it is intended that Awards granted under the Plan either be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A. To the extent an Award is subject to Code Section 409A (a “409A Award”), the terms of the Plan, the Award and any Award Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A so that the Award is not subject to additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A, unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise. A 409A Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order for it to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” to an individual who is considered a “specified employee” (as each term is defined under Code Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (a) six months and one day after the Participant’s separation from service or (b) the Participant’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary for such payment to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i). Further, no Participant or the creditors or beneficiaries of a Participant shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) payable under the Plan to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Code Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) payable to any Participant or for the benefit of any Participant under the Plan may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by any such Participant to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate. Each Participant is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on or in respect of such Participant in connection with this Plan, including any taxes and penalties under Code Section 409A, and neither the Company, nor any Subsidiary or any Affiliate shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold such Participant or any beneficiary harmless from such taxes or penalties. With respect to any 409A Award, references in the Plan to “termination of employment” (and substantially similar phrases) shall mean “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each of the payments that may be made in respect of any Award granted under the Plan is designated as a separate payment.

12.4 Limitation on Liability. Neither the Company nor any person serving as Administrator shall have any liability to a Participant in the event an Award held by the Participant fails to achieve its intended characterization under applicable tax law.

ARTICLE 13. FUTURE OF THE PLAN.

13.1 Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective on the date the Board approved the adoption of the Plan, subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders. The Plan shall terminate automatically 10 years after the date when the Board approved the adoption of the Plan, and no Award shall be granted under the Plan thereafter. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted under the Plan on or prior to such tenth anniversary, and the authority of the Administrator to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award, shall nevertheless continue thereafter.

13.2 Amendment or Termination. Subject to Section 13.3, the Board may, at any time and for any reason, amend or terminate the Plan without shareholder approval; provided, that any amendment of the Plan shall not materially and adversely affect any of the rights or obligations of any Participant under an Award previously granted to such Participant under the Plan, without such affected Participant’s consent (except to the extent deemed necessary to comply with any applicable law, government regulation, the rules of any principal securities exchange or market on which the Common Shares are then traded, or to preserve favorable accounting or tax treatment of any Award for the Company). No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the termination thereof. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not affect any Award previously granted under the Plan.

E-11

13.3 Shareholder Approval. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders only to the extent required by any applicable law, government regulation, or the rules of any principal securities exchange or market on which the Common Shares are then traded.

Shapeways Holdings, Inc.

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

SECTION 1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.

The purpose of the Plan is to provide Eligible Employees with an opportunity to increase their proprietary interest in the success of the Company by purchasing Stock from the Company on favorable terms and to pay for such purchases through payroll deductions or other approved contributions.

SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

(a) General. The Plan may be administered by the Board or one or more Committees to which the Board (or an authorized Board committee) has delegated authority. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have the powers theretofore possessed by the Board, including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the power to delegate to a sub-committee any of the administrative powers the committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to either the Board or the Administrator shall hereafter also encompass the committee or subcommittee, as applicable). The Board may abolish the Committee’s delegation at any time and the Board shall at all times also retain the authority it has delegated to the Committee. Each Committee shall comply with rules and regulations applicable to it, including under the rules of any exchange on which the Stock is traded, and shall have the authority and be responsible for such functions as have been assigned to it.

(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the terms of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated to the Committee, the Administrator shall have the power to establish the terms and conditions of Offering Periods (which need not be identical) under the Plan, to interpret the Plan and make all other policy decisions relating to the operation of the Plan. The Administrator may adopt such rules, guidelines and forms as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan.

(c) Effects of Administrator’s Decisions. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties.

(d) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (except its choice of law provisions).

SECTION 3. STOCK OFFERED UNDER THE PLAN.

(a) Authorized Shares. The number of shares of Stock available for purchase under the Plan shall be shares of the Company’s Stock (subject to adjustment pursuant to Subsection (c) below), plus the additional shares described in Subsection (b) below. Shares of Stock issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

(b) Annual Increase in Shares. On the first day of each calendar year during the term of the Plan, commencing on January 1, 2022 and continuing until (and including) January 1, 2031, the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall automatically increase by a number equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of Stock issued and outstanding on December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the date of such increase and (ii) a number of shares of Stock determined by the Board.

(c) Anti-Dilution Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, stock or other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, reclassification, repurchase, or exchange of Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Stock and effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company occurs, then in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, there will be a proportionate adjustment of the number and class of Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, the Purchase Price per share and the number and class of Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, and the numerical limits of Subsections 3(a), 3(b) and 9(c).

F-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(d) Reorganizations. In the event of a Corporate Reorganization, the outstanding rights to purchase Stock under any Offering Period then in progress may be continued, assumed or substituted by the surviving entity or its parent. If such acquirer refuses to continue, assume or substitute for any such rights, then a new Purchase Date for such Offering Period(s) will be set prior to the effective time of the Corporate Reorganization, the Participants’ accumulated contributions will be applied to purchase Stock on such date, and any such Offering Periods shall terminate immediately after such purchase. In the event a new Purchase Date is set under this Subsection 3(d), Participants will be given notice of the new Purchase Date. The Plan shall in no event be construed to restrict in any way the Company’s right to undertake a dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or other reorganization.

SECTION 4. ENROLLMENT AND PARTICIPATION.

(a) Offering Periods and Purchase Periods.

(i) Base Offering Periods. The Administrator may from time to time establish Offering Periods (consisting of one or more Purchase Periods) of such frequency and duration as it may deem appropriate (the “Base Offering Periods”); provided that a Base Offering Period shall in no event be longer than 27 months (or such other period as may be imposed under applicable tax law). Each Base Offering Period shall contain such terms and conditions (consistent with the Plan) as the Administrator deems appropriate. Within the limits of the Plan, the Administrator may change the frequency, duration and other terms and conditions of the Base Offering Periods as it deems appropriate from time to time. The Base Offering Periods are intended to qualify under Code Section 423.

(ii) Additional Offering Periods. At the discretion of the Administrator, additional Offering Periods (the “Additional Offering Periods”) may be conducted under the Plan including, if necessary or advisable in the sole discretion of the Administrator, under a separate sub-plan or sub-plans, permitting grants to Eligible Employees of certain Participating Companies (each, a “Sub-Plan”). Such Additional Offering Periods may be designed to achieve desired tax objectives in particular locations outside the United States or to comply with local laws applicable to offerings in such foreign jurisdictions and will not be intended to qualify under Code Section 423. The Administrator shall determine the commencement and duration of each Additional Offering Period, which may be consecutive or overlapping. The other terms and conditions of each Additional Offering Period shall be those set forth in this Plan document or in terms and conditions approved by the Administrator with respect to such Additional Offering Period (whether or not set forth in a written Sub-Plan), with such changes or additional features as the Administrator determines necessary to comply with local law. Each Additional Offering Period (whether or not set forth in a written Sub-Plan) shall be considered a separate plan from the Plan (the “Statutory Plan”). The total number of shares authorized to be issued under the Plan as provided in Section 3 above applies in the aggregate to the Statutory Plan and any Additional Offering Period. Unless otherwise superseded by the terms and conditions approved by the Administrator with respect to an Additional Offering Period, the provisions of this Plan document shall govern the operation of any offering conducted hereunder.

(iii) Separate Offerings. Each Base Offering Period and each Additional Offering Period conducted under the Plan is intended to constitute a separate “offering” for purposes of Code Section 423.

(iv) Equal Rights and Privileges. To the extent an Offering Period is intended to qualify under Code Section 423, all participants in such Offering Period shall have the same rights and privileges with respect to their participation in such Offering Period in accordance with Code Section 423 and the regulations thereunder except for differences that may be mandated by local law and are consistent with the requirements of Code Section 423(b)(5).

(b) Enrollment. In the case of any individual who qualifies as an Eligible Employee on the first day of any Offering Period, he or she may elect to become a Participant on such day by filing the prescribed enrollment form with the Company. The enrollment form shall be filed in the prescribed manner during the applicable Enrollment Period for such Offering Period. The Administrator may establish other procedures for enrollment by Eligible Employees.

(c) Duration of Participation. Once enrolled in the Plan, a Participant shall continue to participate in the Plan until he or she:

F-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(i) Reaches the end of the Offering Period or Purchase Period, as applicable, in which his or her employee contributions were discontinued under Subsection 5(c) or 9(b);

(ii) Withdraws from the Plan under Subsection 6(a); or

(iii) Ceases to be an Eligible Employee.

A Participant whose employee contributions were discontinued automatically under Subsection 9(b) shall automatically resume participation as described therein. In all other cases, a former Participant may again become a Participant, if he or she then is an Eligible Employee, by following the procedure described in Subsection (b) above.

(d) Applicable Offering Period. For purposes of calculating the Purchase Price under Subsection 8(b), the applicable Offering Period shall be determined as follows:

(i) Once a Participant is enrolled in the Plan for an Offering Period, such Offering Period shall continue to apply to him or her until the earliest of (A) the end of such Offering Period, (B) the end of his or her participation under Subsection (c) above, or (C) re-enrollment for a subsequent Offering Period under Paragraph (ii) or (iii) below.

(ii) Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the Administrator (at its sole discretion) may determine prior to the commencement of any new Offering Period that all Participants shall be re-enrolled for such new Offering Period. In addition, the Administrator may structure an Offering Period so that in the event that the Fair Market Value of a share on the first day of the Offering Period for which the Participant is enrolled is higher than on the first day of any subsequent Offering Period, the Participant shall automatically be re-enrolled for such subsequent Offering Period.

(iii) When a Participant reaches the end of an Offering Period but his or her participation is to continue, then such Participant shall automatically be re-enrolled for the Offering Period that commences immediately after the end of the prior Offering Period.

SECTION 5. EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS.

(a) Commencement of Payroll Deductions. A Participant may purchase shares of Stock under the Plan by means of payroll deductions implemented at the applicable Participating Company or (if so approved by the Administrator with respect to all Participants in a Base Offering Period) other approved contributions in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrator. Payroll deductions or other approved contributions shall commence as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received the prescribed enrollment form. In jurisdictions where payroll deductions are not permitted under local law, Participants may purchase shares of Stock by making contributions in the form that is acceptable and approved by the Administrator.

(b) Amount of Payroll Deductions. An Eligible Employee shall designate on the prescribed enrollment form the portion of his or her Compensation that he or she elects to have withheld for the purchase of Stock. Such portion shall be a whole percentage of the Eligible Employee’s Compensation, but not less than 1% nor more than 15% (or such lesser percentage established by the Administrator for an Offering Period).

(c) Reducing Withholding Rate or Discontinuing Payroll Deductions. If a Participant wishes to reduce his or her rate of payroll withholding, such Participant may do so by filing a new enrollment form with the Company in the manner prescribed by the Administrator. The new withholding rate shall be effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received such form. The new withholding rate may be 0% or any whole percentage of the Participant’s Compensation, but not more than his or her old withholding rate. The Administrator may limit the number of times a Participant may elect to reduce his or her rate of withholding during any Offering Period and/or Purchase Period. Unless a different rule is established for an Offering Period, no Participant shall make more than one election under this Subsection (c) during any Purchase Period. (In addition, employee contributions may be discontinued automatically pursuant to Subsection 9(b).)

(d) Increasing Withholding Rate. Unless the Administrator establishes a different rule for an Offering Period, a Participant may not increase his or her rate of payroll withholding during a Purchase Period. If a Participant wishes to increase his or her rate of payroll withholding, such Participant may do so by filing a

F-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

new enrollment form with the Company at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to commencement of a Purchase Period (or such other period as is specified by the Administrator). The new withholding rate shall be effective on the first day of the next-upcoming Purchase Period in which the Participant participates. The new withholding rate may be any whole percentage of the Participant’s Compensation, but not less than 1% nor more than the maximum amount established for the Offering Period.

SECTION 6. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN.

(a) Withdrawal. A Participant may elect to withdraw from the Plan (and the Offering Period in which he or she is participating) by filing the prescribed form with the Company in the prescribed manner at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to a Purchase Date (or such other period as is specified by the Administrator). As soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, payroll deductions or other approved contributions shall cease and the entire amount credited to the Participant’s Plan Account with respect to such Offering Period shall be refunded to him or her in cash, without interest (except as otherwise required by the laws of the local jurisdiction). No partial withdrawals from an Offering Period shall be permitted.

(b) Re-Enrollment after Withdrawal. A former Participant who has withdrawn from the Plan shall not be a Participant until he or she re-enrolls in the Plan under Subsection 4(b) during an Enrollment Period. Re-enrollment may be effective only at the commencement of an Offering Period.

SECTION 7. CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT STATUS.

(a) Termination of Employment. Termination of employment as an Eligible Employee for any reason, including death, shall be treated as an automatic withdrawal from the Plan under Subsection 6(a).

(b) Transfers of Employment. If a Participant transfers employment from a Participating Company that is participating in a Base Offering Period to a Participating Company that is participating in an Additional Offering Period, he or she will immediately cease to participate in the Base Offering Period, as applicable; however, such Participant’s Plan Account will be transferred to the Additional Offering Period, and such Participant will immediately join such Additional Offering Period on the terms and conditions applicable to such Additional Offering Period, except for any modifications required by applicable law. If a Participant transfers employment from a Participating Company that is participating in an Additional Offering Period to a Participating Company that is participating in the Base Offering Period, he or she will continue to participate in the Additional Offering Period until the earlier of (i) the end of such Additional Offering Period, or (ii) the commencement of the first Base Offering Period in which he or she is eligible. If a Participant transfers employment from a Participating Company to a Related Corporation that is not a Participating Company, he or she shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Plan pursuant to Subsection 6(a).

(c) Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, employment shall not be deemed to terminate when the Participant goes on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the Company in writing. Employment, however, shall, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator with respect to a Participant in an Additional Offering Period, be deemed to terminate on the first day following three months after the Participant goes on a leave, unless a contract or statute guarantees his or her right to return to work. Employment shall, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator with respect to a Participant in an Additional Offering Period, be deemed to terminate in any event when the approved leave ends, unless the Participant immediately returns to work.

(d) Death. In the event of the Participant’s death, the amount credited to his or her Plan Account shall be paid in cash, without interest (unless otherwise required by the laws of the local jurisdiction), to a beneficiary designated by him or her for this purpose on the prescribed form or, if none, to the Participant’s estate. Such form shall be valid only if it was filed with the Company in the prescribed manner before the Participant’s death.

SECTION 8. PLAN ACCOUNTS AND PURCHASE OF SHARES.

(a) Plan Accounts. The Company shall maintain a Plan Account on its books in the name of each Participant. Whenever an amount is deducted from the Participant’s Compensation under the Plan, such amount shall be credited to the Participant’s Plan Account. Unless otherwise required by the laws of the local

F-5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

jurisdiction, (i) amounts credited to Plan Accounts shall not be trust funds and may be commingled with the Company’s general assets and applied to general corporate purposes, and (ii) no interest shall be credited to Plan Accounts.

(b) Purchase Price. The Administrator shall establish the Purchase Price for each Offering Period; provided, however, that the Purchase Price for each share of Stock purchased on a Purchase Date shall not be less than the lower of:

(i) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the first trading day of such Offering Period; or

(ii) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the Purchase Date.

(c) Number of Shares Purchased. On each Purchase Date, each Participant shall be deemed to have elected to purchase the number of shares of Stock calculated in accordance with this Subsection (c), unless the Participant has previously elected to withdraw from the Offering Period in accordance with Subsection 6(a). The amount then in the Participant’s Plan Account shall be divided by the Purchase Price, and the number of shares that results shall be purchased from the Company with the funds in the Participant’s Plan Account. The foregoing number of shares of Stock that may be purchased by a Participant are subject to the limitations set forth in Subsection (d) below and in Section 9. The Administrator may determine with respect to all Participants in an Offering Period that any fractional share, as calculated under this Subsection (c), shall be (i) rounded down to the next lower whole share or (ii) credited as a fractional share.

(d) Available Shares Insufficient. In the event that the aggregate number of shares that all Participants elect to purchase with respect to a particular Purchase Period exceeds (i) the number of shares of Stock that were available under Section 3 above for sale under the Plan on the first day of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number of shares that were available under Section 3 above for sale under the Plan on the applicable Purchase Date, then the number of shares to which each Participant is entitled shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares available for issuance by a fraction. The numerator of such fraction is the number of shares that such Participant has elected to purchase, and the denominator of such fraction is the number of shares that all Participants have elected to purchase. The Company may make a pro rata allocation of the shares available on the first day of an applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s shareholders subsequent to such date. In the event of a pro-rata allocation under this Subsection (d), the Administrator may determine in its discretion to continue all Offering Periods then in effect or terminate all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 14.

(e) Issuance of Stock. The shares of Stock purchased by a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of such Participant. The Company may permit or require that shares be deposited directly with a broker designated by the Company or to a designated agent of the Company, and the Company may utilize electronic or automated methods of share transfer. The Company may require that shares be retained with such broker or agent for a designated period of time and/or may establish other procedures to permit tracking of disqualifying dispositions of such shares. (The two preceding sentences shall apply whether or not the Participant is required to pay income tax in the United States.)

(f) Tax Withholding. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Stock under the Plan until such obligations, if any, are satisfied.

(g) Unused Cash Balances. Subject to the final sentence of Subsection 8(c), an amount remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account that represents the Purchase Price for any fractional share shall be carried over in the Participant’s Plan Account to the next Offering Period or Purchase Period, as applicable. Any amount remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account that represents the Purchase Price for whole shares that could not be purchased by reason of Subsection (c) or (d) above or Subsection 9(b) or (c) shall be refunded to the Participant in cash, without interest (except as otherwise required by the laws of the local jurisdiction).

(h) Shareholder Approval. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no shares of Stock shall be purchased under the Plan unless and until the Company’s shareholders have approved the adoption of the Plan.

SECTION 9. PLAN LIMITATIONS.

(a) Five Percent Limit. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no Participant shall be granted a right to purchase Stock under the Plan if, immediately after such right is granted, such Participant would own stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Related Corporation, applying the stock attribution rules of Code Section 424(d), and including any stock in which the Participant may purchase under outstanding options as stock owned by such Participant.

(b) Dollar Limit.

(i) As specified by Code Section 423(b)(8), no Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to purchase Stock pursuant to any such rights outstanding under the Plan if and to the extent such accrual, when aggregated with (A) rights to purchase Stock accrued under any other right to purchase Stock under the Plan, and (B) similar rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of Code Section 423) of the Company or any Related Corporation, would otherwise permit such Participant to purchase more than $25,000 worth of Stock of the Company or any Related Corporation (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the date such rights are granted, and which, with respect to the Plan, will be determined as of the beginning of the respective Offering Period) for each calendar year such rights are at any time outstanding.

(ii) If a Participant is precluded by this Subsection (b) from purchasing additional Stock under the Plan, then his or her employee contributions shall automatically be discontinued and shall automatically resume at the beginning of the next Purchase Period with a scheduled Purchase Date in the next calendar year, provided that he or she is an Eligible Employee at the beginning of such Purchase Period.

(c) Purchase Period Share Purchase Limit. The Administrator may establish one or more limits on the number of shares of Stock that may be purchased during any Offering Period and/or Purchase Period, including individual limits and/or aggregate limits. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise with respect to an Offering Period, any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no Participant shall purchase more than 5,000 shares of Stock with respect to any Purchase Period.

SECTION 10. RIGHTS NOT TRANSFERABLE.

The rights of any Participant under the Plan, or any Participant’s interest in any Stock or moneys to which he or she may be entitled under the Plan, shall not be transferable by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, or in any other manner other than by beneficiary designation or the laws of descent and distribution. If a Participant in any manner attempts to transfer, assign or otherwise encumber his or her rights or interest under the Plan, other than by beneficiary designation or the laws of descent and distribution, then such act shall be treated as an election by the Participant to withdraw from the Plan under Subsection 6(a).

SECTION 11. NO RIGHTS FOR CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT.

Nothing in the Plan or in any right granted under the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of a Participating Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Participating Companies or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

SECTION 12. NO RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.

A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Stock that he or she may have a right to purchase under the Plan until such shares have been purchased on the applicable Purchase Date.

SECTION 13. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.

Shares of Stock shall not be issued, and the Company shall have no liability for failure to issue shares of Stock, under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such shares comply with (or are exempt from) all

applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded.

SECTION 14. AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE.

(a) General Rule. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. If the Plan is terminated, the Administrator, in its discretion, may elect to terminate all outstanding Offering Periods either immediately or upon completion of the purchase of shares of Stock on the next Purchase Date, or may elect to permit Offering Periods to expire in accordance with their terms (and subject to any adjustment pursuant to Subsection 3(c) or (d)). If the Offering Periods are terminated prior to expiration, all amounts then credited to Participants’ accounts which have not been used to purchase shares of Stock will be returned to the Participants (without interest thereon, except as otherwise required by the laws of the local jurisdiction) as soon as administratively practicable.

(b) Administrator’s Discretion. Without shareholder consent and without limiting Subsection (a) above, the Administrator will be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Stock for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant’s Compensation, amend any outstanding purchase rights or clarify any ambiguities regarding the terms of any Offering Period to enable the purchase rights to qualify under and/or comply with Code Section 423, and establish such other limitations or procedures as it determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan. The actions of the Administrator pursuant to this paragraph will not be considered to alter or impair the purchase rights granted under an Offering Period as they are to be deemed part of the initial terms of such Offering Period and purchase rights.

(c) Accounting Considerations. In the event the Administrator determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Administrator may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify, amend or terminate the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to:

(i) Amending the Plan to conform with the safe harbor definition under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or successor provision), including with respect to an Offering Period underway at the time;

(ii) Altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price;

(iii) Shortening any Offering Period (and any Purchase Periods encompassed by such Offering Period) by setting a new Purchase Date, including with respect to an Offering Period underway at the time of the Administrator’s action;

(iv) Reducing the maximum percentage of Compensation a Participant may elect to set aside as payroll deductions; and

(v) Reducing the maximum number of shares of Stock a Participant may purchase during any Purchase Period.

Such modifications or amendments will not require shareholder approval or the consent of any Plan Participants. The actions of the Administrator pursuant to this paragraph will not be considered to alter or impair the purchase rights granted under an Offering Period as they are to be deemed part of the initial terms of such Offering Period and purchase rights.

(d) Shareholder Approval. Except as provided in Section 3, any increase in the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders. In addition, any other amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s
