Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

On April 14, 2022, Pine Island Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued an unsecured amended and restated promissory note (the “Note”) in the amount of up to $600,000 to Pine Island Sponsor LLC. Pine Island Sponsor LLC is the Company’s sponsor and is affiliated with Pine Island Capital Partners, which is a private equity firm of which John A. Thain, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, is a co-founder and is the Chairman of the Investment Committee, and Philip A. Cooper, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, is a co-founder and managing partner, and Charles G. Bridge, Jr., the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Company may request, from time to time, drawdowns under the Note to be used to fund the Company’s working capital requirements. As of April 15, 2022, the Company had $487,000 outstanding under the Note. The Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) November 19, 2022 and (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a business combination. The Company may prepay the principal balance under the Note at any time at its election and without penalty. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which, in certain instances, would automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Principal Amount: Up to $600,000   Dated as of April 14, 2022

 

This Amended and Restated Promissory Note amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety the Promissory Note dated August 24, 2020 (as may be amended from time to time), issued by Pine Island Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Maker”), to Pine Island Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or its registered assigns or successors in interest (collectively, “Payee”).

 

Maker promises to pay to the order of Payee, or order, the principal sum of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) or such lesser amount as shall have been advanced by Payee to Maker and shall remain unpaid under this Note on the Maturity Date (as defined below) in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below. All payments on this Note shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by Maker to such account as Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

 

1.        Principal. The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of: (i) November 19, 2022 and (ii) the date on which Maker consummates a business combination (such earlier date of (i) and (ii), the “Maturity Date”) unless accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time by Maker, at its election and without penalty. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of Maker hereunder.

 

2.        Drawdown Requests. Maker and Payee agree that Maker may request, from time to time, up to Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) in drawdowns under this Note to be used to fund Maker’s working capital requirements. The principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date upon request from Maker to Payee (each, a “Drawdown Request”). Each Drawdown Request must state the amount to be drawn down, and must not be an amount less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) unless agreed upon by Maker and Payee. Payee shall fund each Drawdown Request no later than three (3) business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns outstanding under this Note at any time may not exceed Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000). No fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker.

 

3.        Interest. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

4.        Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorney’s fees, then to the payment in full of any late charges and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

 

 

 

5.        Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”):

(c)        Involuntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of Maker in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days.

 

6.        Remedies.

 

(a)        Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a) hereof, Payee may, by written notice to Maker, declare this Note to be due immediately and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and all other amounts payable thereunder, shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the documents evidencing the same to the contrary notwithstanding.

7.        Waivers. Maker and all endorsers and guarantors of, and sureties for, this Note waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest with regard to the Note, all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Payee under the terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting any property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, on any writ of execution issued hereon, may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.

 

8.        Unconditional Liability. Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee, and consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to Maker or affecting Maker’s liability hereunder.
