Exhibit 4.6
AMENDED AND RESTATED WARRANT AGREEMENT
by and between
SURROZEN, INC.
and
CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY
As amended on March 31, 2023
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated March 31, 2023, is by and between Surrozen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company, as warrant agent (in such capacity, the “Warrant Agent”).
WHEREAS, on April 15, 2021, the Company entered into those certain Subscription Agreements with the Investors named therein pursuant to which certain investors (the “Investors”) agreed to purchase an aggregate of 12,020,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. The Private Placement Units include an aggregate of 4,006,667 private placement warrants, bearing the legend set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Private Placement Warrants”). Each Private Placement Unit includes one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one-third of one Private Placement Warrant. The Private Placement Units were offered to facilitate the subscriptions; however, the shares of Common Stock and the Private Placement Warrants which comprise the Private Placement Units are not attached and trade separately without any instruction or detachment obligations on the part of the Investors, the Company or the Warrant Agent. Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein and only whole Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable;
WHEREAS, the Company and the Warrant Agent originally entered into a Warrant Agreement dated August 11, 2021 (the “Original Warrant Agreement”), and wish to amend and restate the Original Warrant Agreement, which amendment and restatement requires the vote or written consent of the Registered Holders (as defined in Section 2.3.2 below) of fifty percent (50%) of the then-outstanding Private Placement Warrants;
WHEREAS, this Agreement, as amended, has been approved by the requisite number of Registered Holders required to approve this Agreement, as amended.
WHEREAS, on November 9, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) declared effective a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-259496) containing a prospectus (the “Prospectus”), for the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the shares of Common Stock included in the Private Placement Units, the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Private Placement Securities”); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Private Placement Warrants; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Private Placement Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Private Placement Warrants; and
WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Private Placement Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent (if a physical certificate is issued), as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
If the Depositary subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the applicable Private Placement Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding making other arrangements for book-entry settlement. In the event that the Private Placement Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have the Private Placement Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall provide written instructions to the Depositary to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation each book-entry Private Placement Warrant, and the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver to the Depositary definitive certificates in physical form evidencing such Private
2
Placement Warrants (“Definitive Warrant Certificates”) which shall be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
Physical certificates, if issued, shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or other principal officer of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Private Placement Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Private Placement Warrant before such Private Placement Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

The exact Redemption Fair Market Value and Redemption Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the Redemption Fair Market Value is between two values in the table or the Redemption Date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued for each Private Placement Warrant exercised in a Make-Whole Exercise shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower Redemption Fair Market Values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable.
The share prices set forth in the column headings of the table above shall be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof. If the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the adjusted share prices in the column headings shall equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares of Common Stock in the table above shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant. If the Exercise Price of a Private Placement Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.1.2 hereof, the adjusted share prices in the column headings shall equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment less the decrease in the Exercise Price pursuant to such Exercise Price adjustment. In no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with a Make-Whole Exercise exceed 0.361 shares of Common Stock per Private Placement Warrant (subject to adjustment).

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants entitling the holder on exercise to receive [ ] shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, and are issued or to be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of August 11, 2021, as amended on March [ ], 2023 (the “Warrant Agreement”), duly executed and delivered by the Company to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders (the words “holders” or “holder” meaning the Registered Holders or Registered Holder, respectively) of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.
Warrants may be exercised at any time during the Exercise Period set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of Election to Purchase set forth hereon properly completed and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price as specified in the Warrant Agreement (or through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent. In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his, her or its assignee, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, no Warrant may be exercised unless at the time of exercise (i) a registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise is effective under the Securities Act and (ii) a prospectus thereunder relating to the shares of Common Stock is current, except through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement.
The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. If, upon exercise of a Warrant, the holder thereof would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company shall, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder of the Warrant.
Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.
Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder(s) hereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder hereof to any rights of a shareholder of the Company.
