Exhibit 10.11

 

INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS INVESTMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated [●], 2021, is by and among (i) SDCL EDGE Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “SPAC”), (ii) SDCL EDGE Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and (iii) [●] (the “Investor”).

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of units (the “Public Units”) of the SPAC, the Investor has expressed an interest in acquiring (or in one or more of its affiliates acquiring) up to [●] Public Units in the IPO (exclusive of any Public Units issued pursuant to any exercise of the IPO underwriters’ overallotment option (the “Overallotment Option”)), each comprising one share of the Issuer’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of a redeemable warrant (each, a “Warrant”), where each whole Warrant is initially exercisable for one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Class A Ordinary Share, at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit (such indication of interest in acquiring up to [●] Public Units in the IPO, the “IPO Indication”).

 

WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into this Agreement pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below, the Investor will purchase from the Sponsor Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the SPAC (the “Founder Shares”) for the same value paid by the Sponsor, or approximately $0.005 per share.

 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

Section 1. Sale and Purchase

 

(a)In connection with the IPO Indication, the Sponsor hereby agrees to sell to the Investor on the date hereof [●] Founder Shares (such shares, the “Transferred Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $[●] (the “Transfer Price”), and the Investor hereby agrees to purchase from the Sponsor the Transferred Shares on the date hereof (such sale and purchase, the “Transfer”). Concurrently with the Transfer (but in any event not later than one business day after the date hereof), in consideration for the transfer of the Transferred Shares, the Investor shall pay $[●] to the Sponsor in immediately available funds. The parties acknowledge that the sale by the Sponsor directly to Investor is being undertaken for the convenience of the parties in lieu of (i) the transfer by Sponsor of the Transferred Shares to the SPAC for cancellation and (ii) the reissuance and sale of such Transferred Shares by the SPAC to the Investor in connection with its purchase of units of the Company.

 

(b)Subject to the Investor’s payment of the Transfer Price as contemplated by Section 1(a) of this Agreement, the Transfer shall occur and be effective as of the date hereof, automatically and without any action of any other party hereto.

 

(c)In the event that the Investor and/or its affiliates fails to fulfil the IPO Indication (which at no point may exceed [●]% of the total Public Units issued in the IPO, exclusive of any Public Units issued pursuant to any exercise of the Overallotment Option), the Investor shall retransfer its interest in the Transferred Shares, in which case the Investor shall retransfer the Transferred Shares by transferring them in full to the Sponsor and the Sponsor shall repurchase the Transferred Shares by refunding the Transfer Price to the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor shall not be subject to any such retransfer obligation solely by reason of the IPO underwriters allocating to the Investor or one or more of its affiliates a number of Public Units that is less than the IPO Indication. Furthermore, the parties hereto acknowledge that in the event the Investor or one or more of its affiliates do not submit the IPO Indication, the Sponsor and the SPAC’s only remedy with respect thereto shall be the repurchase of the Investor’s Transferred Shares as described above. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the IPO Indication will be deemed fulfilled by the Investor or one or more of its affiliates purchasing 100% of the Public Units actually allocated to the Investor or any such affiliates by the underwriters in the IPO; and (ii) in no event shall the IPO Indication represent more than [●]% of the Public Units issued in the IPO (exclusive of any Public Units issued pursuant to any exercise of the Overallotment Option).

 

1

 

 

(d)The Investor and its affiliates shall not be required to purchase more than [●] Public Units issued in the IPO for any reason, including any upsizing of the IPO or any exercise of the Overallotment Option.

 

Section 2. Forfeiture of Founder Shares; Redemption Rights

 

(a)In the event the Overallotment Option is not exercised in full, the Investor acknowledges and agrees that it (or, if applicable, it and any permitted transferees to which it has transferred any of the Transferred Shares) shall, promptly upon the expiry of the Overallotment Option and following notice from the SPAC or the Sponsor, retransfer its interest in the Transferred Shares, in which case the Investor shall retransfer the Transferred Shares (up to an aggregate of [●] Transferred Shares and pro rata based upon the percentage of the Overallotment Option exercised) by transferring them to the SPAC and the SPAC shall repurchase the Transferred Shares by refunding the Transfer Price to the Investor such that, immediately following such transaction, the Investor (and any such permitted transferees) will own an aggregate number of Transferred Shares equal to [●]% of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares and Founder Shares issued and outstanding immediately following the expiry of the Overallotment Option (such reduction in the number of Founder Shares held by the Investor and any such permitted transferees, the “Overallotment Adjustment”).

 

(b)In the event the number of Public Units offered and issued in the IPO (exclusive of the exercise of the Overallotment Option) is less than 17,500,000 but equal to or greater than 14,000,000, the Investor acknowledges and agrees that it (or, if applicable, it and any permitted transferees to which it has transferred any of the Transferred Shares) shall, following notice from the SPAC or the Sponsor, retransfer its interest in a number of Transferred Shares, in which case the Investor shall retransfer such Transferred Shares by transferring them to the SPAC and the SPAC shall repurchase such Transferred Shares by refunding the pro rata Transfer Price to the Investor, such that, immediately following such transaction, the Investor (and any such permitted transferees) will own an aggregate number of Transferred Shares equal to [●]% of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares and Founder Shares issued and outstanding immediately following the IPO (such reduction in the number of Founder Shares held by the Investor and any such permitted transferees, the “Downsizing Adjustment”).

 

2

 

 

(c)The Investor (or, if applicable, it and any permitted transferees to which it has transferred any of the Transferred Shares) waives any right to receive Founder Shares to which the Investor (or any such transferee) otherwise would be entitled as the result of a pro rata ordinary share split conducted in connection with an increase in the number of Public Units sold in the IPO above 17,500,000 (exclusive of any Public Units issued pursuant to any exercise of the Overallotment Option) pursuant to Rule 430A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (such waiver, the “Upsizing Share-Split Waiver”).

 

(d)Except in the case of the Overallotment Adjustment, the Downsizing Adjustment and the Upsizing Share-Split Waiver, the Transferred Shares shall not be subject to cut-backs, reductions, forfeitures, surrenders, mandatory repurchases, claw-backs, transfers, redemptions, disposals, exchanges, additional lockups, reduced rights or share price vesting triggers commonly known as “earn-outs” or any other restrictions for any reason, including without limitation as part of negotiating a business combination.

 

(e)The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, save as otherwise provided herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall affect, limit or hinder the right of the Investor or any of its affiliates to sell, redeem or otherwise dispose of Public Units (or any of their component securities) and such sales, redemptions or dispositions shall have no impact on the number of Transferred Shares held by the Investor or the Investor’s rights with respect thereto.

 

(f)The obligations of the Investor hereunder are subject to there being no material change in the SPAC’s organizational documents or capital structure from those set forth in the registration statement on Form S-1 filed by the SPAC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on [●], 2021 (the “Registration Statement”).

(a)The Investor agrees not to transfer, assign or sell any Transferred Shares or any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Transferred Shares held by it until the earlier of (i) one year after the date the SPAC consummates an initial Business Combination (as defined below) and (ii) the earlier to occur of, subsequent to an initial Business Combination, (A) the date on which the SPAC consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the SPAC’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property, and (B) the first date on which the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the consummation an initial Business Combination (the “Lock-Up Period”). The foregoing restriction shall only be applicable to the Investor if all other holders of the Founders Shares, directly or indirectly, are subject to the same restrictions and, to the extent any holder of the Founders Shares shall be subject to a restriction more favorable to such holder, directly or indirectly, including as a result of any waiver of any such restriction, than the restrictions applicable to the Investor, the SPAC shall offer the Investor the opportunity for ten days to modify the restrictions applicable to the Investor to reflect such more favorable terms.

(c)The Investor may, prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, transfer some or all of the Transferred Shares to one or more affiliates of the Investor so long as each such affiliate executes and delivers to the SPAC prior to such transfer an agreement containing terms substantially similar to those set forth in this Section 6.

 

7

 

 

(d)For the avoidance of doubt, a change in the members of Investor shall not constitute a “transfer” prohibited by Section 6(a) or a “transfer” for which notice or an additional undertaking is required pursuant to Section 6(b), so long as such change does not make any representation or warranty of Investor set forth in this Agreement untrue.

 

(e)The Investor acknowledges that the SPAC was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). The Investor agrees that if the SPAC seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, the Investor shall vote (or, if applicable, cause its affiliates to vote) all Transferred Shares in favor of such proposed Business Combination; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Investor and its affiliates shall have no such voting obligation with respect to any Class A Ordinary Shares or Public Units acquired by the Investor or its affiliates in the IPO or in the open market following the IPO.
