Copley Acquisition Corp (the “Company”), a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”), intends to register its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with its initial public offering (“IPO”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”). The undersigned hereby commits that it will purchase 387,500 units of the Company (“Private Units”) for a purchase price of $3,875,000 (the “Private Unit Purchase Price”), each Private Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Private Placement Warrants”) to purchase one Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share.
The undersigned hereby agrees that it will purchase an additional number of Private Units of the Company (“Over-Allotment Units”), up to a maximum of 39,375 Over-Allotment Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit (the “Over-Allotment Purchase Price”), or a maximum of 426,875 Private Units for a total purchase price of $4,268,750 (the Over-Allotment Unit Purchase Price, together with the Private Unit Purchase Price, being the “Purchase Price”), in the event Clear Street LLC (“Clear Street”) exercises its over-allotment option, such that the amount held in the Trust Fund (as defined below) does not fall below $10.05 per unit sold by the Company in the IPO.
At least one (1) business day prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, the undersigned will cause the Private Unit Purchase Price to be delivered to the Company by wire transfer as set forth in the instructions attached as Exhibit A to hold in a non-interest bearing account until the Company consummates the IPO.
The consummation of the purchase and issuance of the Private Units shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the consummation of the purchase and issuance of the Over-Allotment Units shall occur simultaneously with the closing of any exercise of the over-allotment option related to the IPO. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company shall deposit the Private Unit Purchase Price, without interest or deduction, into the trust account (“Trust Fund”) established by the Company for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders as described in the Registration Statement. If the Company does not complete the IPO within ten (10) days from the date of this letter, the Private Unit Purchase Price (without interest or deduction) will be returned to the undersigned.
The Private Units and Over-Allotment Units will be identical to the units to be sold by the Company in the IPO. Additionally, the undersigned agrees:
(a) | to vote the Ordinary Shares included in the Private Units and Over-Allotment Units in favor of any proposed Business Combination; |
(b) | the undersigned hereby irrevocably waives and shall not exercise redemption rights to convert Ordinary Shares included in the Private Units and Over-Allotment Units into the right to receive cash from the Trust Fund in connection with a shareholder vote to approve either a Business Combination or an amendment to the provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, and not to tender the Private Units and Over-Allotment Units in connection with a tender offer conducted prior to the closing of a Business Combination; |
(c) | the undersigned hereby irrevocably waives any redemption rights and right to participate in any liquidation distribution from the Trust Fund with respect to the Ordinary Shares included in the Private Units and Over-Allotment Units (but will be entitled to participate in liquidation distributions from the Trust Fund with respect to any Ordinary Shares purchased by the undersigned in the IPO or in the open market) if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination by a date calculated by reference to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association; |
(d) | that the Private Units, Over-Allotment Units and underlying securities will not be transferable until after the consummation of a Business Combination except (i) to the Company’s pre-IPO shareholders, or to the Company’s officers, directors, advisors and employees, (ii) to the undersigned’s affiliates or its members upon its liquidation, (iii) to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, (iv) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (vi) by private sales made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the Private Units were originally purchased or (vii) to the Company for cancellation in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, in each case (except for clause (vii)) where the transferee agrees to the terms of the transfer restrictions; and |
(e) | the Private Units and Over-Allotment Units will include any additional terms or restrictions as is customary in other similarly structured blank check company offerings or as may be reasonably required by the underwriters in the IPO in order to consummate the IPO, each of which will be set forth in the Registration Statement. |
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the purchaser of the Private Units and Over-Allotment Units will execute agreements in form and substance typical for transactions of this nature necessary to effectuate the foregoing agreements and obligations prior to the consummation of the IPO as are reasonably acceptable to the undersigned, including but not limited to an insider letter.
