Re: | Initial Public Offering |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and between Gefen Xxxxx Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and BofA Securities, Inc. and Guggenheim Securities, LLC, as the representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”), of 28,750,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 3,750,000 units that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any) (the “Units”), each comprised of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (each, an “Ordinary Share”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units shall be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof.
In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Gefen Xxxxx Holdings LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, DBW Holdings Sponsor LP, an Israeli limited partnership and Xxxxx Vision Partners LP, an Israeli limited partnership (each a “Sponsor”, and collectively, the “Sponsors”), and each of the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a member of the Company’s board of directors and/or management team (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”), each hereby agrees, severally but not jointly, with the Company as follows:
1. Business Combination Vote. The Sponsors and each Insider agree with the Company that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed initial Business Combination, they, it, she or he as applicable, shall (i) vote any Shares owned by them, it, her or him in favor of any proposed Business Combination (including any proposals recommended by the Company’s board of directors in connection with such Business Combination) and (ii) not redeem any Shares owned by them, it, her or him in connection with such shareholder approval. If the Company engages in a tender offer in connection with any proposed initial Business Combination, the Sponsors and each Insider, with respect to themselves, itself, herself or himself, agree that they, it, she or he will not seek to sell their, its, his or her Ordinary Shares to the Company in connection with such tender offer.
2. Failure to Consummate a Business Combination. The Sponsors and each Insider hereby agree with the Company that, in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended from time to time, the Sponsors and each Insider shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Offering Shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable, expenses relating to the administration of the Trust Account and limited withdrawals for working capital), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsors and each Insider agree not to propose any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (a) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, expenses relating to the administration of the trust account and limited withdrawals for working capital) on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Offering Shares. The Sponsors and each Insider agree to waive each of their respective redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Offering Shares owned by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Articles (x) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period set forth in the Articles or (y) with respect to any provision relating to the rights of holders of Offering Shares or pre-initial Business Combination activity.
3. Trust Account Waiver. The Sponsors and each Insider, with respect to themselves, itself, herself or himself, acknowledges that they, it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect to the Founder Shares held by them, it, her or him, if any. The Sponsors and each Insider hereby further waive, with respect to any Shares held by them, it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights they, it, he or she may have in connection with (x) the consummation of its Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such
- 2 -
rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase Ordinary Shares and (y) a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity (although the Sponsors and the Insiders shall be entitled to redemption and liquidating distributions with respect to any Offering Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate its Business Combination within the required time period set forth in the Articles).
4. Indemnification. In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsors (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other shareholders, partners, members or managers of the Sponsors) (the “Indemnitors”) agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company (other than the Company’s independent auditors) or (ii) a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitors (x) shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s auditors) or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (A) $10.00 per Offering Share or (B) the actual amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Offering Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, net of interest that may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s tax obligations, (y) shall not apply to any claims by a third party or Target who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and (z) shall not apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Indemnitors shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of their choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Indemnitors, the Indemnitors notify the Company in writing that they shall undertake such defense. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Company’s officers or directors are Indemnitors subject to this Section 4.
5. Forfeiture of Founder Shares. To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus in full or in part (as further described in the Prospectus), each of the Sponsors agree to automatically surrender to the Company for no consideration, for cancellation at no cost, an aggregate number of Founder Shares (as allocated among the Sponsors as set forth on Exhibit A) so that the number of Founder Shares that remains outstanding after such forfeiture will equal 20.0% of the sum of the total number of Ordinary Shares and Founder Shares outstanding at such time. The Initial Shareholders further agree that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased, the Company will effect a capitalization or a share repurchase or redemption, as applicable, with respect to the Founder Shares immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the number of Founder Shares at 20.0% of the sum of the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at such time.

6. Remedies. The Sponsors and each Insider hereby agree and acknowledge that: (i) the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsors or Insider of their, its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7(a), 7(b), and 9 of 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 seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach.
