| 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 or proposed to be entered into by and between FACT II Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Xxxxx & Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC (“CCM”), and Seaport Global Securities LLC (“Seaport” and together with CCM, the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”), of 17,500,000 of the Company’s units (“Units”) (including up to 2,625,000 Units that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any), each comprised of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (each, an “Ordinary Share”), and one-half of one 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 a prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Company has applied to have the Units listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof.
In order to induce the Company, CCM and Seaport 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, FACT II Acquisition LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (“Sponsor HoldCo”), and the other undersigned persons (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”), hereby agrees with the Company as follows:
1. Sponsor HoldCo and each Insider agrees with the Company that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any Shares owned by it, him or her 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 it, him or her in connection with such shareholder approval. If the Company seeks to consummate a proposed Business Combination by engaging in a tender offer, Sponsor HoldCo and each Insider agrees that it, he or she will not sell or tender ay Shares owned by it, him or her in connection therewith.
2. Sponsor HoldCo and each Insider hereby agrees with the Company that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination within 18 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 they may be amended from time to time, Sponsor HoldCo 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 Ordinary Shares sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of any amounts withdrawn to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (collectively, “Permitted Withdrawals”)), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish all Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), 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 in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. Sponsor HoldCo and each Insider agrees to not propose any amendment to 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 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering), or (ii) with respect to any other material provisions 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 (which interest shall be net of Permitted Withdrawals), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Offering Shares.
Sponsor Holdco acknowledges and agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter, it hereby waives its right to be repaid from the Trust Account for any working capital loans that it or its affiliates or designees have provided to the Company.
Sponsor HoldCo and each Insider acknowledges that 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 any Founder Shares held by it, him or her. Sponsor HoldCo and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any Founder Shares and Offering Shares held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with (x) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such 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 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering), or (ii) with respect to any material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity (although Sponsor HoldCo and the Insiders shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering (or 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination within 18 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 they may be amended from time to time).
3. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b) below, during the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, Sponsor HoldCo and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of CCM and Seaport, (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction that is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise)), directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 (”Section 16”) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to, any Units, Shares, Warrants, Private Placement Units, Private Placement Warrants, Working Capital Units, Working Capital Warrants, or in each case the Ordinary Shares underlying such units and warrants, or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares, owned by it, him or her, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, Shares, Warrants, Private Placement Units, Private Placement Warrants, Working Capital Units, Working Capital Warrants, or in each case the Ordinary Shares underlying such units and warrants, or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares, owned by it, him or her, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction; provided, however, that the foregoing does not apply to the forfeiture of any Founder Shares pursuant to their terms or any transfer of Founder Shares to any current or future independent director of the Company (as long as such current or future independent director transferee is subject to this Letter Agreement or executes an agreement substantially identical to the terms of this Letter Agreement, as applicable to directors and officers at the time of such transfer; and as long as, to the extent any Section 16 reporting obligation is triggered as a result of such transfer, any related Section 16 filing includes a practical explanation as to the nature of the transfer).
2
4. In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, Sponsor HoldCo (the “Indemnitor”), which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other shareholders, members or managers of Sponsor HoldCo, or any of the undersigned, agrees 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, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s independent registered public accountants) or products sold to the Company or (ii) a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a “Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor (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 independent registered public accountants) or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.05 per Offering Share and (ii) such lesser amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the property in the Trust Account which may be withdrawn for Permitted Withdrawals, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of CCM and Seaport against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Indemnitor shall not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense.
5. To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 2,625,000 Units within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), Sponsor HoldCo agrees that it shall forfeit, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 875,000 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 2,625,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 2,625,000. All references in this Letter Agreement to Founder Shares of the Company being forfeited shall take effect as surrenders for no consideration of such Founder Shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the Underwriters so that the number of Founder Shares will represent, on an as-converted basis, an aggregate of 25.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares after the Public Offering. The Initial Shareholders further agree that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased, the Company will purchase or sell Class B Ordinary Shares or effect a share repurchase, share capitalization or otherwise, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the number of Founder Shares, on an as-converted basis, at 25.0% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares upon the consummation of the Public Offering. In connection with such increase or decrease in the size of the Public Offering, then (A) the references to 2,625,000 in the numerator and denominator of the formula in the immediately preceding sentence shall be changed to a number equal to 15% of the number of Ordinary Shares included in the Units issued in the Public Offering and (B) the reference to 875,000 in the formula set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph 5 shall be adjusted to such number of Founder Shares that Sponsor HoldCo would have to surrender to the Company in order for the number of Founder Shares to be equal, on an as-converted basis, to an aggregate of approximately 25.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares immediately after the Public Offering.
6. Sponsor HoldCo and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) CCM, Seaport and the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by Sponsor HoldCo or Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7(a), 7(b), 7(c), 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.
3
7. (a) Subject to paragraph 7(d), Sponsor HoldCo and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer (as defined below) any Founder Shares (or Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof) until 180 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).
(b) Subject to paragraph 7(d), Sponsor HoldCo and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Units, Private Placement Warrants, Working Capital Units, Working Capital Warrants, or in each case the respective Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon exercise or conversion of such units and warrants, until 180 days after the completion of a Business Combination (the “Private Placement Units Lock-up Period”).
(c) Subject to paragraph 7(d), Sponsor HoldCo agrees that it shall not Transfer any Restricted Shares until 90 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination (the “Restricted Shares Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period and the Private Placement Units Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up Periods”).
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, Private Placement Warrants, Working Capital Units, Working Capital Warrants and in each case the respective Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of such units, warrants or the Founder Shares, and Restricted Shares are permitted:
(i) to (1) Sponsor HoldCo’s members, (2) the directors or officers of the Company, Sponsor HoldCo, Sponsor HoldCo’s members, CCM or Seaport, (3) any affiliates or family members of the directors or officers of the Company, Sponsor HoldCo, Sponsor HoldCo’s members, CCM or Seaport, (4) any members or partners of Sponsor HoldCo, Sponsor HoldCo’s members, CCM, Seaport or their respective affiliates, or any affiliates of Sponsor HoldCo, Sponsor HoldCo’s members, CCM, Seaport, or any employees of such affiliates;
(ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family, or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization;
(iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual;
(iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order;
(v) in the case of a trust by distribution to one or more permissible beneficiaries of such trust;
(vi) by private sales or transfers made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection with the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased;
(vii) to the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of its initial Business Combination;
(viii) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination;
(ix) by virtue of the laws of the Cayman Islands, by virtue of Sponsor HoldCo’s memorandum and articles of association or other constitutional, organizational or formational documents, as amended, upon dissolution of Sponsor HoldCo, by virtue of FACT II Acquisition Parent LLC’s (”Sponsor”) memorandum and articles of association or other constitutional, organizational or formational documents, as amended, upon dissolution of Sponsor, or by virtue of the constitutional, organizational or formational documents of a subsidiary of Sponsor HoldCo that holds any Private Placement Units, Private Placement Warrants, Working Capital Units, Working Capital Warrants, Restricted Shares, or any Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, upon liquidation or dissolution of such subsidiary, or the organizational documents of CCM or Seaport upon dissolution of CCM or Seaport, as applicable; and
4
(x) in the event of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination,
provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i) through (vi), these permitted transferees (the “Permitted Transferees”) must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in this Agreement.
8. Sponsor HoldCo and each Insider represents and warrants that it, he or she has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended or revoked.
