We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 14, 2021 the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
On June 7, 2021, the Company, a Delaware corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bear Merger Company I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), Bear Merger Company II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub” and together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), and Dave Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dave”), pursuant to which, among other things: (a) First Merger Sub will merge with and into Dave (the “First Merger”), with Dave being the surviving corporation of the First Merger (such company, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, the “Surviving Corporation”); and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub being the surviving company of the Second Merger. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”), including the Mergers, will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by the Company’s existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
Prior to the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”), Dave will cause (collectively, the “Recapitalization”): (a) each share of Dave’s preferred stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”) to automatically convert into a number of shares of Dave’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Dave Common Stock”), at their respective conversion ratio; (b) a dual-class Dave common stock structure to be implemented consisting of (x) Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Dave Class A Common Stock”), with respect to which each holder thereof has one (1) vote per share on each matter subject to the vote of the Dave stockholders, and (y) Class V common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Dave Class V Common Stock” and together with the Dave Class A Common Stock (including any vested shares of restricted Dave Common stock), the “Dave Stock”), with respect to which each holder thereof has ten (10) votes per share on each matter subject to the vote of the Dave stockholders; (c) each authorized share of the Dave Common Stock to automatically convert, effective as of the Recapitalization, into a share of Dave Class A Common Stock; and (d) immediately thereafter, each share of Dave Class A Common Stock held by Jason Wilk, the Chief Executive Officer
and Co-Founder of
Dave (“Mr. Wilk”), as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Recapitalization to be exchanged or converted into one (1) share of Dave Class V Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of Dave, including holders of restricted shares of the Dave’s Common Stock (“Dave Restricted Stock”) (such holders, collectively, the “Dave Stockholders”) and holders of vested Dave Options (as defined below), will receive aggregate merger consideration with an implied value of $3,500,000,000 (the “Equity Value”), consisting of a number of shares of Company Common Stock (as defined and more fully described below), with each deemed to have a value of $10.00 per share, equal to the Equity Value divided by $10.00 (the “Aggregate Stock Consideration”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (a) each share of Dave Class A Common Stock held by the Dave Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly issued Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 (“Company Class A Common Stock”), equal to an exchange ratio (the “Per Share Dave Stock Consideration”) determined by dividing the Aggregate Stock Consideration by the sum of (without duplication): (i) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and following the consummation of the Recapitalization (including all shares of Dave Restricted Stock, whether vested or unvested); (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Dave Options and Dave
Non-Plan
Options (in each case, as defined below) that are unexpired, issued, outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Dave Options and Dave
Non-Plan
Options are exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Dave Options or
Dave Non-Plan Options
equals (x) the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)); and (iii) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Dave Warrants that are unexpired, issued, outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Dave Warrants are vested and exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Dave Warrants equals the (x) Per Share Dave Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)) (the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares”) and (b) each share of Dave Class V Common Stock held by the Dave Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly authorized and issued Class V common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 (“Company Class V Common Stock” and together with the Company Class A Common Stock, “Company Common Stock”), equal to the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration.
Each option to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave (“Dave Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) (other than certain options to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave granted outside of the terms and conditions of Dave’s stock plans (“Dave Non-Plan Options”)) will be automatically assumed by the Company and converted into an option to acquire an adjusted number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock (pursuant to a ratio based on the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration) (each such resulting option, a “Rollover Option”) at an adjusted exercise price per share and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Option, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Options. The shares of Dave Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Dave Options that are outstanding, unexercised and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (such options, the “Unvested Dave Options”) are not included in the calculation of the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares” for purposes of the calculation of the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration, and the shares of the Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rollover Options representing at the Effective Time Unvested Dave Options (such shares, “Unvested Rollover Option Shares”) are not considered a part of the Aggregate Stock Consideration. The Unvested Rollover Option Shares will reduce the shares of Company Class A Common Stock initially available for issuance under the new equity incentive plan that the Company will adopt as of the Closing.
Each
Dave Non-Plan Option
that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled for no consideration.
Each award of the Dave Restricted Stock that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically assumed by the Company and converted into an award of restricted stock with respect to an adjusted number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock (pursuant to a ratio based on the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration) (the “Rollover Restricted Stock”) and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Restricted Stock, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Restricted Stock.
Each warrant to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave (“Dave Warrants”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically terminated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Dave Warrant and be of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Closing, the Company’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation will be further amended and restated (the “Company A&R Charter”) to, among other things, (a) establish a dual-class Company Common Stock structure consisting of Company Class A Common Stock and Parent Class V Common Stock, and (b) provide that each share of Company Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one (1) vote per share and each share of Company Class V Common Stock will be entitled to ten (10) votes per share (the “High Vote”). In connection with the Transactions, the shares of Company Common Stock received as consideration by Mr. Wilk will be shares of Company Class V Common Stock, and will entitle Mr. Wilk to the High Vote until such time as such shares of Company Class V Common Stock are exchanged pursuant to the terms of the Company A&R Charter for an equal number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock (i) at the option of Mr. Wilk, (ii) upon a transfer to an unaffiliated third party, (iii) upon termination of Mr. Wilk’s employment with the Company, Dave or any of their subsidiaries for “Cause” (as defined in the Company A&R Charter) or the resignation by Mr. Wilk other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Company A&R Charter) and following such resignation Mr. Wilk no longer provides services in a capacity as an officer, employee or director of the Company, (iv) upon Mr. Wilk’s death or incapacity or (v) the date that the number of shares of capital stock of the Company, including any shares of capital stock of the Company underlying any securities (including restricted stock units, options, or other convertible instruments) convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable into shares of capital stock of the Company, held by Mr. Wilk and certain permitted transferees is less than 35% of the number of shares of Class V Common Stock held by Mr. Wilk and such permitted transferees at the Effective Time (whichever is earlier). Mr. Wilk’s shares of Company Class V Common Stock will provide him with approximately 70% of the voting power of the Company Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Effective Time (and prior to any repurchases of shares of the Company Class V Common Stock by Parent pursuant to the Repurchase (as defined and further discussed below)), assuming no redemptions by the Company’s stockholders.
The parties to the Merger Agreement have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of Dave and the Company and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing. The Closing is subject to certain customary conditions.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company, Dave, Mr. Wilk and Kyle Beilman, the Chief Financial Officer of Dave (“Mr. Beilman” and together with Mr. Wilk, the “Selling Holders”), entered into a repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has agreed to repurchase a certain number of shares of Company Common Stock from the Selling Holders (including shares of Company Class V Common Stock issued to Mr. Wilk in connection with the Transactions), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, on the business day immediately following the effective time of the Second Merger (the “Repurchase”). The Repurchase is contingent on the amount of Parent Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement) being in excess of $300 million. If Parent Cash exceeds $300 million, the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be equal to the amount by which Parent Cash exceed $300 million (the “Aggregate Repurchase Price”),
$10.00 (provided that in no event will the Aggregate Repurchase Price exceed $60 million). 80% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be allocated to Mr. Wilk, with Mr. Beilman allocated the remaining 20%.
For more information about the Merger Agreement and the proposed business combination, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 7, 2021 (File No. 001-40161). Unless specifically stated, this Quarterly Report does not give effect to the Proposed Transaction and does not contain the risks associated with the Proposed Transaction. Such risks and effects relating to the Proposed Transaction will be included in the Bakkt Disclosure Statement.
We have neither engaged in any operations (other than searching for a Business Combination after our Initial Public Offering) nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through June 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur 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 a Business Combination.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $3,478,664, which consists of formation and operational costs of $1,947,996, a change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,539,877, and interest income earned on marketable securities held in trust account of $9,209.
For the period from January 14, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $5,129,070, which consists of formation and operational costs of $2,082,238, a change in fair value of warrant liability of $2,459,161, transaction costs allocated to warrant liabilities of $600,571, and interest income earned including those on marketable securities held in trust account of $12,900.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,100,214 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings Sponsor III, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,650,321.
