FORM OF LETTER AGREEMENT


____________ __, 2022

 

Astrea Acquisition Corp.

55 Ocean Lane Drive, Apt. 3021

Key Biscayne, FL 33149

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter (“Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with that certain Strategic Partnership Agreement (the “SPA”) by and among Astrea Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), Sports Masters Management LLC (“SMM”) and Astrea Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 12 hereof.

 

In order to induce the Company to enter into the SPA and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, SMM hereby agrees with the Company as follows:

 

1. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the undersigned will vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it in favor of such Business Combination.

 

2. (a) In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), SMM and its affiliates will, as promptly as possible, take all necessary actions to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem the IPO Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned funds held in the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 to pay liquidation expenses and net of interest released to the Company to pay taxes as permitted pursuant to the Trust Agreement), divided by the number of then outstanding IPO Shares, which redemption will extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

 

(b) SMM hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account (“Claim”) with respect to the Founders’ Shares owned by SMM and hereby waives any Claim SMM may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. SMM acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to any Warrants, all rights of which will terminate on the Company’s liquidation.

 

(c) In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, SMM agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to the Company, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debt or obligation does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account below $10.00 per share; provided that such indemnity shall not apply (i) if such vendor or prospective target business executed an agreement waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, or (ii) as to any claims under the Company’s obligation to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that SMM shall be responsible to indemnify the Trust Account only for the foregoing claims arising or relating to actions or events that occurred after August 29, 2022.

 

17

 

 

3. SMM acknowledges and agrees that prior to entering into a Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with any Insiders of the Company or their affiliates, such transaction must be approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested independent directors and the Company must obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view.

 

4. Neither SMM nor any of its affiliates will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation, finder fee or other cash payment prior to, or for services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Business Combination; provided that the Company shall be allowed to make the payments set forth in the Registration Statement under the caption “Prospectus Summary – The Offering – Limited payments to insiders.”

 

5. SMM agrees that all Founders’ Shares owned by it will be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of a Stock Escrow Agreement which the Company and the Sponsor have entered into with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent.

  

6. (a) In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest that may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, SMM hereby agrees that until the earliest of the Company’s initial Business Combination or liquidation, SMM shall present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any suitable target business, subject to any fiduciary or contractual obligations SMM might have.

 

(b) SMM hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Company may be irreparably injured in the event of a breach of any of the obligations contained in this Letter Agreement, (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach.
