WARRANT ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
Exhibit 4.4
This Warrant Assumption Agreement (this “Warrant Assumption Agreement”) is entered into as of [•], 2021, by and among Virtuoso Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“VOSO”), Wejo Group Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Warrant Agent”).
WHEREAS, as a result of this Warrant Assumption Agreement, each Public Warrant will be exchanged for a warrant to purchase Company Common Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement.
(a) Upon and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, VOSO hereby assigns, and the Company hereby assumes, the rights and obligations of VOSO under the Warrant Agreement and the Public Warrants, including the obligation to issue Company Common Shares upon the exercise of the Public Warrants, and the Company hereby agrees to faithfully perform, satisfy and discharge when due, the liabilities and obligations of VOSO under the Warrant Agreement and the Public Warrants. As a result of the preceding sentence, upon and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, each Public Warrant will be exchanged for a warrant to purchase Company Common Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement.
(b) The Company acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Public Warrants and this Warrant Assumption Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the Public Warrants shall continue in full force and effect and that all of VOSO’s obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable as against the Company upon consummation of the Merger and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Warrant Assumption Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Warrant Agreement, if any Warrant shall remain unexercised immediately before the conclusion of the Exercise Period specified in the Warrant Agreement (including any extension of such Exercise Period), such Warrant shall, automatically and without the necessity of any action on the part of any person, be transferred to Limited and thereupon exercised by Limited on a “cashless basis” by exchanging such Warrant for Company Common Shares in accordance with Sections 7.4 and 3.1 of the Warrant Agreement.
(d) This Warrant Assumption Agreement is being executed and delivered pursuant and subject to the Warrant Agreement. Nothing in this Warrant Assumption Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, defeat, limit, alter, impair, enhance or enlarge any right, obligation, claim or remedy created by the Warrant Agreement or any other document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with it.
(e) The choice of law and jurisdiction provisions set forth in the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Assumption Agreement shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of the Parties to the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Assumption Agreement in all respects. The Company hereby waives any objection to the jurisdiction provision governing the terms of the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Assumption Agreement.
(a) Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Warrant Assumption Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The Company hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to this Warrant Assumption Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction.
