Company: ROCKET LAB USA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
Number of Shares: 728,835 Shares
Type/Series of Stock: Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company
Warrant Price: $4.87 per Share
Issue Date: December 29, 2023
Expiration Date: December 29, 2027 (See also Section 5.1(a))
Credit Facility: This Warrant to Purchase Stock (“Warrant”) is issued in connection with that certain Master Equipment Financing Agreement, dated as of the date hereof among Trinity Capital Inc., a Maryland corporation with an office located at 0 Xxxxx 0xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 (“Trinity”), as lender, and the Company and other borrowers parties thereto (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, Trinity (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant, “Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Shares”) of the above-stated Type/Series of Stock (the “Class”) of the above-named company (the “Company”) at the above stated Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.
1.1Method of Exercise/Exchange. Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company a fully executed copy of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise/Exchange in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 and, unless Holder is exchanging this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exchange set forth in Section 1.2 a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2Cashless Exchange. In lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, in the event the Fair Market Value of one Share exceeds the Warrant Price on the date the Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise/Exchange to the Company, Holder shall have the right to exchange this Warrant or any portion hereof for a number of Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exchanged. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)/A
where:
X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;
Y = the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exchanged (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in satisfaction of the aggregate Warrant Price);
A = the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and
B = the Warrant Price.
1.3Fair Market Value. If the Company’s common stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “Trading Market”) and the Class is common stock, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of common stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise/Exchange to the Company (the “Fair Market Value”). If the Company’s common stock is not traded in a Trading Market, the fair market value of a Share shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its reasonable good faith judgement, taking into consideration, without limitation, the most recent sales of the Company’s capital stock.
1.4Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant.
(a)Promptly after Holder exercises or exchanges this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable using commercially reasonable efforts following the receipt of a duly executed Notice of Exercise/Exchange and payment of the full exercise price therefor (or election of cashless exchange pursuant to Section 1.2 in such Notice of Exercise/Exchange), deliver to Holder or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate or evidence of book-entry ownership through the Company’s transfer agent representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or exchanged and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the Holder entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date.
1.5Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.
1.6Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.
(a)Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization, in each case which the stockholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, consolidation or
reorganization; or (iii) any sale or other transfer by the stockholders of the Company to any person or “group” of persons (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) of shares representing at least a majority of the Company’s then-total outstanding combined voting power in a transaction or series of related transactions whereby all holders of the Class are offered cash, securities or other property. For the avoidance of doubt, “Acquisition” shall not include any sale and issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock or of securities or instruments exercisable for or convertible into, or otherwise representing the right to acquire, shares of its capital stock in a transaction or series of related transactions, the primary purpose of which is a bona fide equity financing of the Company.
(b)Treatment of Warrant in Cash/Public Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), and the fair market value of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, and Holder has not exercised this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 above as to all Shares, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exchanged pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition. In connection with such exchange, Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as the date thereof and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon exercise or exchange. In the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition where the fair market value of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, then this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition.
(c)Treatment of Warrant in Other Acquisitions. Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition defined above, the Company shall cause the acquiring, surviving or successor entity to assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant; provided, however, that if the fair market value of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above in such Acquisition is greater than three times the Warrant Price then in effect then the acquiring, surviving or successor entity may elect not to assume the obligations of this Warrant and this Warrant shall terminate upon the consummation of such Acquisition, provided further, however, that the acquiring, surviving or successor entity and the Company shall give the Holder notice in accordance with Section 3.2(d) of this Warrant and reasonable opportunity to exercise or exchange this Warrant prior to the consummation of such Acquisition, and in any event the provisions of Section 5.1(b) shall be applicable upon such expiration.
(d)As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded in Trading Market; and (iii) Holder would be able to publicly re-sell, within six months following the closing of such Acquisition, all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition.
SECTION 2ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.
2.1Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in common stock or other securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.
2.2Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.
2.3No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (a) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Share, less (b) the then-effective Warrant Price.
2.4Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Xxxxxx, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer or other Company officer performing similar duties, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.
