RECITALS
Whereas, as of the Effective Date, pursuant to that certain Securities Subscription Agreement dated as of November 2, 2020 (the “Subscription Agreement”), Assignor is the beneficial owner of 3,593,750 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (“Assignor’s Interest”).
Whereas, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Assignor desires to assign and contribute to the Company, and the Company desires to accept such assignment and contribution of Assignor’s Interest equal to 718,750 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Contributed Interest”) such that, following the Contribution (as defined below), Assignor will remain the beneficial owner of 2,875,000 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares.
Whereas, in connection with this Agreement, the Company and Assignor desire to amend and restate the Subscription Agreement as necessary to reflect the transactions contemplated herein.
AGREEMENT
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Contribution of Stock. Effective as of the Effective Date, Assignor does hereby irrevocably assign, contribute and set over unto the Company all of its right, title and interest in and to the Contributed Interest, and the Company does hereby accept such Contributed Interest (the “Contribution”). The Contributed Interest shall be deemed automatically cancelled without the requirement for any further action with respect thereto, and Assignor agrees that it shall have no further rights with respect to the Contributed Interest so cancelled.
2. Adjustment of Shares Subject to Forfeiture. After giving effect to the Contribution, the 468,750 Class B ordinary shares originally subject to forfeiture by the Assignor if the underwriters of the initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company do not fully exercise their over-allotment option pursuant to the Subscription Agreement shall automatically be adjusted such that 375,000 Class B ordinary shares shall be subject to forfeiture if the underwriters of the IPO of the Company do not fully exercise their over-allotment option.
3. Consideration. The Assignor agrees to contribute and assign the Contributed Interest for no consideration. As such and because the Assignor is a shareholder in Company, the Contributed Interest will be deemed a shareholder contribution to Assignor’s capital under Section 118(a) of the Code. In accordance with this characterization, Assignor will increase the basis of its shares in Company by the amount of basis in its Contributed Interest, and Company will take a carryover basis in the Contributed Interest.
