TO THE HOLDERS OF ROCKET LAB USA, INC.
PUBLIC WARRANTS (CUSIP No. 773122114)* AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS
Reference is made to that certain Notice of Redemption (as defined below) under which Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (the “Company”) committed to inform registered holders of the Company’s Warrants (as defined below) of the following information on this date.
Background
On December 22, 2021, Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (f/k/a Vector Acquisition Corporation) (the “Company”) issued a notice of redemption (the “Notice of Redemption”) indicating that the Company is redeeming, at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on January 21, 2022 (the “Redemption Date”), all of the outstanding public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that were originally issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2020, by and among Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (f/k/a Vector Acquisition Corporation) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as original warrant agent, as amended by and assigned to and assumed by the Company, pursuant to that certain Amendment to Warrant Agreement, dated August 25, 2021, by and among Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (f/k/a Vector Acquisition Corporation), Continental, and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”), as successor warrant agent (as so amended, the “Warrant Agreement”), as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), at a redemption price of $0.10 per Public Warrant (the “Redemption Price”) for those Warrants that remain outstanding at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date. In addition, the Company will redeem all of its outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock that were issued under the Warrant Agreement in a private placement simultaneously with the IPO (the “Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants.
Redemption Fair Market Value
The “Redemption Fair Mair Market Value” is determined in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreement based on the volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock for the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which notice of redemption is sent to registered holders of the Warrants.
Based on the date of the Company’s Notice of Redemption, the Redemption Fair Market Value is $11.57.
Cash and Cashless Exercise of Warrants
The Warrants may be exercised by the holders thereof until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date to purchase fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock underlying such Warrants. Payment upon exercise of the Warrants may be made either (i) in cash, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of Common Stock or (ii) on a “cashless basis” in which the exercising holder will receive a number of shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement and based on the Redemption Date and the Redemption Fair Market Value.
In particular, should a holder elect to exercise Warrants on a “cashless basis,” such holder would receive a number of shares of Common Stock determined by reference to the table set forth in Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreement.
Based on the Redemption Fair Market Value and number of months to the expiration of the Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued for each Warrant that is exercised on a “cashless basis” is 0.2843 shares.
