Exhibit 10.6
THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of September 28, 2020 (as it may from time to time be amended, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between Prospector Capital Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Prospector Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Purchaser”).
WHEREAS, the Company intends to consummate an initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”), each unit (the “Units”) consisting of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Shares, and, together with the Class B Shares (as defined below), the “Ordinary Shares”), and a portion of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Class A Share.
WHEREAS, the Purchaser has agreed to purchase (i) an aggregate of 10,050,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Class A Share and (ii) 10,062,500 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Shares,” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Securities”).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1. Authorization, Purchase and Sale; Terms of the Securities.
A. Authorization of the Securities. The Company has duly authorized the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Purchaser.
B. Purchase and Sale of the Securities.
(i) For the sum of $10,075,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which the Company hereby acknowledges receiving in cash, the Company hereby issues the Securities to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby purchases the Securities from the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions, including regarding forfeiture, set forth in this Agreement. Concurrently with the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Company shall, at its option, deliver to the Purchaser one or more certificates (the “Original Certificates”) registered in the Purchaser’s name representing the Securities or effect such delivery in book-entry form.
C. Terms of the Securities.
(i) Each Private Placement Warrant shall have the terms set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and other customary terms for private placement warrants issued to sponsors of special purpose acquisition companies that will be set forth in a Warrant Agreement to be entered into by the Company and a warrant agent in connection with the Public Offering (the “Warrant Agreement”). The Private Placement Warrants shall be subject to potential forfeiture as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto in connection with the closing of the Public Offering.
(ii) The Class B Shares will be convertible into Class A Shares on the terms and conditions provided in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) to be adopted in connection with the Public Offering. The Class B Shares shall be subject to forfeiture as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto in connection with the closing of the Public Offering.
(iii) If any Securities are forfeited in accordance with this Section 1(C), then after such time the Purchaser (or its successor in interest) shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such forfeited Securities, and the Company shall take such action as is appropriate to cancel such forfeited Securities.
(iv) In the event an adjustment to the Original Certificates, if any, is required pursuant to this Section 1(C), then the Purchaser shall return such Original Certificates to the Company or its designated agent as soon as practicable upon its receipt of notice from the Company advising the Purchaser of such adjustment, following which new certificates (the “New Certificates”), if any, shall be issued in such amount representing the adjusted number of Securities held by the Purchaser. The New Certificates, if any, shall be returned to the Purchaser as soon as practicable. Any such adjustment for any uncertificated Securities held by the Purchaser shall be made in book-entry form.
(v) At the time of the pricing of the Public Offering, the Company, the Purchaser and any other holders of Class B Shares shall enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) on customary terms pursuant to which the Company will grant certain registration rights relating to, among others, the Private Placement Warrants, the Class A Shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Class B Shares.
(vi) The Purchaser hereby waives any and all rights to redeem the Class B Shares for a portion of the amounts held in the trust account into which substantially all of the proceeds of the Public Offering will be deposited (the “Trust Account”) in the event of the Company’s failure to timely complete an initial business combination, an extension of the time period to complete an initial business combination or upon the consummation of an initial business combination. For purposes of clarity, in the event the Purchaser purchases Class A Shares included in the Units (“Public Shares”), either in the Public Offering or in the aftermarket, any Public Shares so purchased shall be eligible to be redeemed for a portion of the amounts held in the Trust Account in the event of the Company’s failure to timely complete an initial business combination (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not in connection with an extension of the time period to complete an initial business combination or upon the consummation of an initial business combination).
(vii) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for all U.S. federal (and applicable state, local, and foreign) income tax purposes, with respect to any forfeiture of (or other adjustments with respect to) any Securities or any refund made by the Company, in each case, pursuant to this Section 1, (a) such forfeiture (or other adjustment) or refund is integral to the terms of the Securities; (b) except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) or a change in applicable law, (A) the parties hereto shall treat such forfeiture (or other adjustment) or refund as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, and (B) no such forfeiture (or other adjustment) or refund shall constitute or give rise to any actual, constructive or deemed distribution under Section 305 or any other provision of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law). The parties hereto shall file all tax returns and otherwise report for tax purposes consistently with the preceding sentence except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) or a change in applicable law.

C. Investment Representations.
(i) The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Class A Shares issuable upon such exercise, for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.
3
(ii) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D, and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The Purchaser acknowledges the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on the private placement exemption in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D and similar exemptions under state law. The Purchaser is purchasing the Securities solely for investment purposes, for the Purchaser’s own account and not for the account or benefit of any other person, and not with a view towards the distribution or dissemination thereof. The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act.
(iii) The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.
(iv) No governmental, administrative or other third-party consents or approvals are required, necessary or appropriate on the part of the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(v) The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company, and the opportunity to obtain additional information to verify the accuracy of all information so obtained. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities. In determining whether to make this investment, the Purchaser has relied solely on the Purchaser’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon Purchaser’s own due diligence investigation. The Purchaser understands that no person has been authorized to make any representations other than as set forth in this Agreement and the Purchaser has not relied on any other written or oral representations relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company in making its investment decision.
(vi) The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
(vii) The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; (b) the certificates or book-entries representing the Securities will contain a legend or notation in respect of such restrictions; and (c) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. While the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company, the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 includes an exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (iii) the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company. The Purchaser agrees that if any transfer of the Securities or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, the Purchaser may be required to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.
4
(viii) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knows of the high degree of risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.
