WHEREAS, SPAC is a special purpose acquisition company that closed on its initial public offering on December 20, 2021, with 18 months to complete an initial business combination, which period was automatically extended for an additional 3 months pursuant to the terms of the charter of the SPAC (the “De- SPAC”);

 

WHEREAS, on September 18, 2023, SPAC held a special meeting of stockholders during which SPAC’s stockholders approved a proposal to extend the date by which the SPAC must consummate the De- SPAC from September 20, 2023 to January 19, 2024 (or earlier as may be determined by the SPAC’s board of directors);

 

WHEREAS, the Sponsors may seek to extend the date by which the SPAC must consummate the De-SPAC for an additional period to be determined (“Extension”);

 

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, SPAC has not completed the De-SPAC, and is seeking to raise funds to cover working capital expenses and to fund the Extension;

 

WHEREAS, ESG Funding and/or Cohen has committed to fund up to $2,000,000 to the SPAC (the “SPAC Loan”) and the Investor, as an existing SPAC investor has agreed to invest up to $550,000 payable to ESG Funding (the “Investor’s Capital Contribution”) in return for the Subscription Shares (as defined below). Investor has agreed to pay the Investor’s Capital Contribution to ESG Funding who will use such amount to fund a portion of the SPAC Loan (the “SPAC Investment Amount”);

 

WHEREAS, SPAC will pay all principal under the SPAC Investment Amount to ESG Funding at the closing of the De-SPAC transaction (the “De-SPAC Closing”), in accordance with section 1.5 below, and the Investor will be entitled to receive such proceeds received by ESG Funding as a return of capital on its Capital Investment (as defined below); and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreement contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

 

 

 

 

ARTICLE I

1.1Capital Calls. The Sponsors may require a drawdown from the Investor against the Investor’s Capital Contribution (each, a “Capital Call”) subject to and on the following conditions:

 

1.1.1For each Capital Call, the amount being called from the Investor shall not exceed 50% of the total amount being funded to the SPAC by ESG Funding and/or Cohen as of such time; provided that for the Initial Capital Call, any amounts which have been funded by ESG Funding and/or Cohen and received by SPAC during the period from November 1, 2023 until the Closing shall be taken into account when calculating the amount callable for the Initial Capital Call;

 

1.1.2The aggregate amount of all Capital Calls shall not exceed the Investor’s Capital Contribution;

 

1.1.3An initial Capital Call of $350,000 of the Investor’s Capital Contribution (such amount, being the “Initial Capital Call”) will be paid by the Investor to ESG Funding by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wiring instructions separately provided within five (5) business days of this Agreement or on such date as the Parties may agree in writing (such date, the “Closing”); and

 

1.1.4A Capital Call of $200,000 of the Investor’s Capital Contribution may be called within five (5) business days of April 1, 2024 (the “Second Capital Call”).

 

For greater certainty, the Sponsors have the right but no obligation to request a Capital Call(s) in their discretion, and no Capital Calls may be made after the termination or expiry of this Agreement. The Initial Capital Call shall be funded at Closing and the Second Capital Call shall be funded within five (5) calendar days of April 1, 2024 provided the Sponsors have requested such amount on or before April 1, 2024. Investor shall advance each Capital Call amount to ESG Funding by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wiring instructions separately provided.

 

1.2Subscription. In consideration of the Capital Call(s) funded by the Investor and received by ESG Funding (such funded amounts, being the Investor’s “Capital Investment”), SPAC (or the surviving entity following the De-SPAC Closing) will issue 1 shares of SPAC’s Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) for each dollar of Capital Investment funded as of or prior to the De-SPAC Closing (the “Subscription Shares”). Such issuance to be completed no later than ten (10) business days following the De-SPAC Closing.

 

1.3Restrictions. The Investment Shares (as defined below) shall not be subject to any transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies (other than those arising under the Securities Act or state securities laws).

1.4Registration. The Sponsors and SPAC shall ensure that the Investment Shares (i) to the extent feasible and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations are registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connection with the De-SPAC Closing, or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the De-SPAC Closing, promptly registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the SPAC or the surviving entity following the De-SPAC Closing, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the De-SPAC Closing and declared effective no later than 90 days after the De-SPAC Closing (the “Registration Requirement”). The Sponsors shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any SPAC securities owned by the Sponsors until the Investor’s Capital Investment has been repaid to the Investor, the Investment Shares have been issued to the Investor and the Registration Requirement has been complied with (other than transfers to its members and/or their designees).

 

1.5Return of Capital.

 

1.5.1The SPAC Loan shall not accrue interest and the SPAC shall repay ESG Funding the full amount of the SPAC Investment Amount upon the De-SPAC Closing. Upon ESG Funding’s receipt of proceeds of the SPAC Investment Amount from the SPAC, an amount equal to the Capital Investment will be paid by ESG Funding to the Investor as a return of capital within 5 business days of the De-SPAC Closing. The SPAC and ESG Funding shall be jointly and severally obligated for such payment. If the De-SPAC is closed, the Investor may elect at the De-SPAC Closing to receive such repayment of the Investor’s Capital Investment in cash or shares of Common Stock. If the Investor elects to receive such repayment in shares, then SPAC (or the surviving entity following the De-SPAC Closing) will issue to the Investor, shares of the SPAC’s Common Stock at a rate of 1 share of Common Stock for each $10 of the Investor’s Capital Investment. If the SPAC liquidates without consummating a De-SPAC, any amounts remaining in any Sponsor’s or SPAC’s cash accounts, not including the SPAC’s trust account, following such time as all liabilities and wind-down expenses (other than pursuant to the SPAC Loan) have been repaid, will be paid to the Investor as promptly as reasonably practicable, up to the amount of the Investor’s Capital Investment in full satisfaction of any amounts due hereunder.

 

1.5.2Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the SPAC does not consummate the Extension, ESG Funding shall repay the Investor’s Capital Investment within five (5) business days of the liquidation of the SPAC’s trust account. If the Extension is not consummated and ESG Funding has failed to repay the Investor’s Capital Investment within five (5) business days of the liquidation of the SPAC’s trust account then Cohen will purchase from the Investor, all of the Investor’s rights under this Agreement for an amount equal to the Investor’s Capital Investment (the “Purchase Price”) and shall pay such Purchase Price to the Investor by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wiring instructions separately provided within two (2) business days of ESG’s failure to repay the Investor’s Capital Investment.

 

1.6Default. In the event that ESG Funding or any other Sponsor defaults in their respective obligations under Section 1.3 or 1.4 or SPAC defaults in its obligations under Section 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5 of this Agreement and in the event that such default continues for a period of five (5) business days following written notice to the Sponsors and SPAC (the “Default Date”), SPAC shall immediately issue to Investor 0.1 shares of SPAC Common Stock per dollar of the Investor’s Capital Investment (the “Default Shares” and together with the Subscription Shares, the “Investment Shares”) on the Default Date and shall issue an additional 0.1 Default Shares per dollar of the Investor’s Capital Investment every calendar month following the Default Date thereafter (on or before the same day of such month as the Default Date), until the earlier of (i) such time as the default is cured or (ii) the 2nd anniversary of the Default Date; provided however, that in no event will SPAC issue any Default Shares to Investor that would result in Investor (together with any other persons whose beneficial ownership of SPAC’s Common Stock would be aggregated with Investor’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including any “group” of which Investor is a member) beneficially owning more than 19.9% of the outstanding shares of SPAC Common Stock (“Issuance Limit”); provided further than any Default Shares that were not issued to Investor because the issuance of such shares would have exceeded the Issuance Limit shall be promptly issued to Investor upon written request from Investor to extent that, at the time of such request, such issuance would no longer exceed the Issuance Limit. Any such Default Shares received pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be subject to the Registration Requirement if a registration statement not effective at the time the Default Shares are issued to Investor, and if a registration statement has been declared effective, such Default Shares shall be promptly registered, and in any event will be registered within 30 days. In the event that Investor notifies the Sponsors and SPAC of any default pursuant to this Section 1.6, the Sponsors shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any SPAC securities owned by the Sponsors, other than in accordance with this Section 1.6, until the earlier of (i) such time as the default is cured or (ii) the 2nd anniversary of the Default Date.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Party of this Agreement and the issuance of the Investment Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the relevant Party, and no further approval or authorization is required on the part of such Party. This Agreement will be valid and binding on each Party and enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

 

2.2Acknowledgement. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Investment Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or under any state securities laws and the Investor represents that, as applicable, it (a) is acquiring the Investment Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act with no present intention to distribute them to any person in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable U.S. state securities laws, (b) will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Investment Shares, except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws, (c) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and in investments of this type that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment and related economic terms hereunder and of making an informed investment decision, and has conducted a review of the business and affairs of the SPAC that it considers sufficient and reasonable for purposes of making the investment and subscription, and (d) is an “accredited investor” (as that term is defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act). Each Party acknowledges and agrees that this subscription will not be treated as indebtedness for U.S. tax purposes.

 

2.3Trust Waiver. Investor acknowledges that the SPAC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a business combination and that a trust account has been established by the SPAC in connection with its initial public offering (“Trust Account”). Investor waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it now has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any claims in connection with, as a result of, or arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.3 shall (a) serve to limit or prohibit Investor’s right to pursue a claim against the SPAC for legal relief against assets outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other relief, (b) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that Investor may have in the future against the SPAC’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds), or (c) be deemed to limit Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of Investor’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the SPAC acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the SPAC.

2.4Restricted Securities. Investor hereby represents, acknowledges and warrants its representation of, understanding of and confirmation of the following:

 

Investor realizes that, unless subject to an effective registration statement, the Investment Shares cannot readily be sold as they will be restricted securities and therefore the Investment Shares must not be accepted unless Investor has liquid assets sufficient to assure that Investor can provide for current needs and possible personal contingencies;

 

Investor understands that, because SPAC is a former “shell company” as contemplated under paragraph (i) of Rule 144, regardless of the amount of time that the Investor holds the Investment Shares, sales of the Investment Shares may only be made under Rule 144 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including that SPAC is no longer a ‘shell company’ and that SPAC has not been a ‘shell company’ for at least the last 12 months—i.e., that no sales of Investment Shares can be made pursuant to Rule 144 until at least 12 months after the De-SPAC; and SPAC has filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, during the 12 months preceding the sale, all quarterly and annual reports required under the Exchange Act;

 

Investor confirms and represents that it is able (i) to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Investment Shares, (ii) to hold the Investment Shares for an indefinite period of time, and (iii) to afford a complete loss of the Investment Shares; and

 

Investor understands and agrees that, until the Investment Shares have been registered pursuant to a registration statement, a legend has been or will be placed on any certificate(s) or other document(s) evidencing the Investment Shares in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR ANY STATE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS (I) THEY SHALL HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES ACT, OR (II) AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, EXISTS.”

 

The SPAC shall take all steps necessary in order to remove the legend referenced in the preceding paragraph from the Investment Shares as promptly as practicable following the earlier of (a) the effectiveness of a registration statement applicable to the Investment Shares or (b) any other applicable exception to the restrictions described in the legend occurs.
