UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Exhibit 15.4
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Introduction
On March 29, 2021, Ajax I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Ajax”), Cazoo Holdings Limited, a private limited company organized under the law of England and Wales (“Cazoo”) and Capri Listco, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Listco”), entered into the Business Combination Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment thereto, dated as of May 14, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Business Combination”) which, among other things, provided that (i) Ajax would merge with and into Listco, with Listco continuing as the surviving company, (ii) Listco would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cazoo via exchange for a combination of shares of Listco and cash consideration and (iii) Listco would become tax resident in the United Kingdom following the consummation of the Business Combination.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (a) on August 23, 2021, MaplesFS Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, as the sole shareholder of Listco, transferred to Ajax all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Listco and, as a result of such transfer, Listco became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ajax, (b) Ajax, as the sole shareholder of Listco, adopted Listco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) (which became effective as of the closing of the Business Combination on August 26, 2021 (the “Closing”)) and (c) on August 24, 2021, Ajax merged with and into Listco, with Listco continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the foregoing, the “Reorganization”). At the Closing, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions therein, Listco acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cazoo (the “Cazoo Shares”) from the holders thereof (the “Cazoo Shareholders”).
In connection with the Merger, each Ajax unit (an “Ajax Unit”) (consisting of one Ajax Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (an “Ajax Class A Share”), and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant of Ajax, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Ajax Class A Share for $11.50 per share (an “Ajax Warrant”)), Ajax Class A Share, Ajax Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (an “Ajax Class B Share” and, together with the Ajax Class A Shares, the “Ajax Ordinary Shares”), and Ajax Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was cancelled in exchange for one Listco unit (a “Unit”) (consisting of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (a “Class A Share”), and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant of Listco, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A Share for $11.50 per share (a “Warrant”)), Class A Share, Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (a “Class B Share”), and Warrant, respectively. Effective as of the Closing, (a) the issued and outstanding Class B Shares converted automatically on a one-for-one basis into Class A Shares, and (b) each issued and outstanding Unit automatically separated into its component parts. Upon Closing, the Company acquired the Cazoo Shares for a combination of 640,924,026 Class C ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class C Shares” and, together with the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”), and aggregate cash consideration of approximately $77,216.042.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Listco, Ajax and certain investors, including Ajax’s sponsor, Ajax I Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”), and Ajax’s directors and officers (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), entered into Subscription Agreements, pursuant to which, the PIPE Investors purchased, concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, in the aggregate, 80,000,000 Class A Shares for $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $800,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”).
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, shareholders of Ajax and Cazoo became shareholders of Listco, and Listco changed its name to Cazoo Group Ltd (“Cazoo Group”).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020 combines the historical balance sheet of Ajax with the historical consolidated statement of financial position of Cazoo on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination had been consummated as of that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 combines the historical statement of operations of Ajax with the historical consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of Cazoo for such period on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination had occurred as of January 1, 2020. This information should be read together with the historical financial statements of Xxxxx and related notes, Ajax’s historical financial statements and related notes, and other financial information included or incorporated by reference into Cazoo Group’s Shell Company Report on Form 20-F (the “Report”).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020 has been prepared using the following:
● | Xxxxx’s historical consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020. |
● | Ajax’s historical balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 has been prepared using the following:
● | Xxxxx’s historical consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2020. | |
● | Ajax’s statement of operations for the period from August 13, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020. |
Accounting for the Business Combination
As the first step within the Business Combination, Listco and Ajax completed the Reorganization. As a result of the Reorganization, which will be accounted for as a capital reorganization, the existing shareholders of Ajax continued to retain control through their full ownership of Listco. Under a capital reorganization, the consolidated financial statements of Listco reflect the net assets transferred at pre-combination predecessor book values.
The next step, being the acquisition of the Cazoo Shares by Listco, will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, Listco will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the following assumptions:
● | Cazoo Shareholders will hold a majority of the voting power of the combined company; | |
● | Cazoo’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company; | |
● | Cazoo’s designees are expected to comprise a majority of the governing body of the combined company; and | |
● | Xxxxx’s senior management will comprise the senior management of the combined company. |
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the acquisition of the Cazoo Shares by Listco will be treated as the equivalent of Cazoo issuing shares for the net assets of Listco, accompanied by a recapitalization. It has been determined that Listco is not a business under IFRS hence, the transaction is accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 (“Share-based payment”). In accordance with IFRS 2, the difference in the fair value of the Cazoo equity instruments deemed issued to Listco shareholders, over the fair value of identifiable net assets of Listco represents a service for listing and is accounted for as a share-based payment which is expensed as incurred. The net assets of Listco will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the acquisition of the Cazoo Shares by Listco will be deemed to be those of Cazoo.
Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The historical financial statements of Cazoo have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in its presentation currency of Pounds Sterling. The historical financial statements of Ajax have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP in its presentation currency of United States Dollars. The historical financial information of Ajax has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS for the purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information (see Note 1—IFRS Adjustments and Reclassifications). For purposes of having unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the historical balance sheet of Ajax has been translated into Pounds Sterling at the rate on December 31, 2020 of $1.00 to £0.7327 and the historical statement of operations of Ajax has been translated into Pounds Sterling using the average exchange rate for the period from August 13, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 of $1.00 to £0.7609.
The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide an understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Business Combination for illustrative purposes.
2
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). No Management’s Adjustments have been identified by Cazoo Group and therefore only Transaction Accounting Adjustments are included in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies been combined for the referenced period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should not be relied on as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies been combined for the referenced period or the future results that the combined company will experience. Xxxxx, Ajax and Cazoo Group have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
The pro forma condensed combined provision for income taxes of nil does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the combined company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on the actual redemption of 58,214,620 Ajax Class A Shares.
The following table summarizes the pro forma number of Ordinary Shares outstanding, by source but not giving effect to (i) Warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination and may be exercised thereafter (commencing upon the later of (i) 30 days after completion of the Business Combination or (ii) October 30, 2021) or (ii) the issuance of the rollover options to former option holders of Cazoo at the Closing and any options upon completion of the Business Combination under the Cazoo Group Incentive Equity Plan, but including the Class B Shares, which at Closing will convert into 8,944,343 Class A Shares in accordance with the terms of the Articles:

(bb) Reflects the reclassification adjustment to align Ajax’s historical statement of operations with the presentation of Xxxxx’s statement of profit or loss.
Note 2— Transaction Accounting Adjustments to unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
The Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:
(a) | Reflects the reclassification of £589,897 cash and marketable securities held in the trust account along with income of £131 that became available to fund the Business Combination. |
(b) | Reflects the proceeds received from the PIPE Investment with the corresponding issuance of 80,000,000 Class A Shares, with a nominal value of US$0.0001, assuming stock price of $10.00 (£7.36) per share, or £586,160. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position reflects this payment as an increase of Cash and cash equivalents of £586,160 with a corresponding increase to Class A Ordinary Shares of £6 and increase to Share premium reserve of £586,154. |
6
(c) | Represents payment of estimated transaction costs of £107,864 to be incurred as a part of the Business Combination. |
(1) | Payment of deferred underwriters’ fees of £20,643. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position reflects these costs as a reduction of Cash and cash equivalents of £20,643 with a corresponding decrease of £20,643 to Deferred underwriting fee payable. | |
(2) | Payment of incremental expenses attributable to equity issuance costs related to the Business Combination incurred through the Business Combination of £36,824. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position reflects these costs as a reduction of Cash and cash equivalents of £36,824 with a corresponding decrease of £36,824 to Share premium reserve. | |
(3) | Payment of all other incremental expenses related to the Business Combination incurred through the Business Combination of £50,397. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position reflects these costs as a reduction of Cash and cash equivalents of £50,397 with a corresponding increase of £50,397 to Accumulated deficit. |
(d) | To reflect actual redemption of 58,214,620 Ajax Class A Shares into cash of £426,691 by Ajax Class A shareholders prior to the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position reflects this redemption as a reduction of Cash and cash equivalents of £426,691 with a corresponding decrease of Loans and borrowings of £426,691. |
(e) | Reflects the Reorganization between Ajax and Listco with Listco as the surviving entity. The Reorganization was the first step completed as part of the Business Combination and the Sponsor surrendered all Ajax Class B Shares in exchange for the same number of Class B shares. The remaining Ajax Class A shareholders, post redemption, received Class A Shares, and Ajax warrant holders received Warrants on a one for one basis. Due to the fact that the equity is exchanged on a one for one basis there is no impact on the combined company financial information with the exception of the reclassification of the remaining Ajax Class A Shares subject to redemption of £27,729 from liabilities to equity. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position reflect the reclassification as a decrease of Loans and borrowings of £27,729 and a decrease to Ajax Class A Ordinary Shares of £1 with a corresponding increase to Class A Ordinary Shares of £2 and increase to Share premium reserve of £27,728. |
(f) | To reflect the recapitalization of Cazoo through: |
● | The contribution of all the aggregate share capital, merger reserve and accumulated deficit in Cazoo to Listco of £266,120, £181,250 and £116,872. | |
● | The issuance of 640,924,026 Class C Shares to Cazoo Shareholders of £47. | |
● | The elimination of the historical Ajax additional paid-in capital of £86,508 and accumulated deficit of £82,846. | |
● | The payment of cash to Cazoo shareholders of £56,576. | |
● | The fair value of the share consideration of £875,643 and a £258,090 excess of the fair value of the shares issued over the value of the net monetary assets acquired in the Business Combination. Under IFRS 2, this excess amount is recognized as a loss on the statement of profit or loss (refer to Note (aa)). | |
(g) | Reflects the net adjustment in respect of Ajax Class B Shares in relation to the Reorganization between Ajax and Listco and the Business Combination. As outlined above in Note 2(e), upon completion of the Reorganization between Ajax and Listco, all Ajax Class B Shares were surrendered in exchange for the same number of Class B shares. Immediately thereafter upon completion of the Business Combination, Class B Shares automatically converted into the same number of Class A Shares. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position reflects both of these adjustments net as a reduction to Ajax Class B shares of £1 with a corresponding increase to Class A Shares of £1. |
(h) | Reflects the recognition of the liability related to the introduction of the cash settlement options for holders of Cazoo’s vested unapproved options and the accelerated vesting of certain unvested unapproved options triggered by the Business Combination. This resulted in a change in classification for 2.21% of the total outstanding vested unapproved options from an equity-settled award to a cash-settled award. 2.21% is the best estimate of the total number of options which will be cancelled for cash payment. In accordance with IFRS 2, the modification date fair value of these original vested unapproved options has been measured and the options have been reclassified from equity to liabilities with the incremental fair value of £900 recognized as incremental share-based compensation expense. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position reflects this adjustment net as an increase to Trade and other payables of £900 with a corresponding increase to Accumulated deficit of £900. |

The Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
(aa) Reflects an adjustment for the £258,090 excess of the fair value of the shares issued over the value of the net assets acquired in the Business Combination.
(bb) Reflects the expense related to the introduction of the cash settlement options for holders of Cazoo’s vested unapproved options and the accelerated vesting of certain unvested unapproved options triggered by the Business Combination. This resulted in a change in classification for 2.21% of the total outstanding vested unapproved options from an equity-settled award to a cash-settled award. 2.21% is the best estimate of the total number of options which will be cancelled for cash payment. In accordance with IFRS 2, the modification date fair value of these original vested unapproved options has been measured and the options have been reclassified from equity to liabilities with the incremental fair value of £1,097 recognized as incremental share-based compensation expense in the pro forma condensed statement of profit or loss. The acceleration of the unvested unapproved options of £1,579 is recognized as incremental share-based compensation in the pro forma condensed statement of profit or loss. Both adjustments are non-recurring items.
(cc) Reflects the elimination of interest income and the unrealized gain related to the marketable securities held in the trust account.
Note 3—Loss per share
The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that Ajax’s initial public offering occurred as of January 1, 2020. In addition, as the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire periods presented. This calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of shares redeemed for the entire period.
Please refer to the Basis of Pro Forma Presentation for the calculation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 752,152,839. The computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of warrants to purchase 41,254,590 shares and the effect of unvested share-based compensation because the inclusion of any of these securities would be anti-dilutive.
Note 4 – Post year end acquisitions
The historical balance sheet of Cazoo as of December 31, 2020 does not include an aggregate of 5,903,748 Cazoo Shares issued and warrants convertible into 475,439 Cazoo Shares issued in connection with the acquisitions of Drover Limited and its subsidiaries, Smart Fleet Solutions Limited and Cluno GmbH and its subsidiaries and 10,625 Cazoo Shares granted under the unapproved Cazoo share option scheme because they all occurred after December 31, 2020 and they are not considered significant for the purposes of presenting Article 11 pro forma information. However, because the acquisitions and share grants occurred prior to the Business Combination, the subdivision of the Ordinary Shares adjustment includes Cazoo Shares issued in connection with the above events converted to post-transaction shares of the combined company.
