Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously announced, on September 10, 2022, DiamondHead Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“DHHC”) entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among itself, Great Southern Homes, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (“GSH”), and Hestia Merger Sub, Inc., a South Carolina corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of DHHC (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into GSH, with GSH surviving the merger and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DHHC (the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, DHHC expects to be renamed United Homes Group, Inc. (“UHG”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein have the meanings assigned to them in the registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-267820) filed by DHHC with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which was declared effective on February 14, 2023 and includes a proxy statement and a prospectus of DHHC (the “Definitive Proxy”).

 

Subscription Agreements

 

On March 23, 2023, in connection with DHHC’s efforts to raise funds to meet the Minimum Cash Condition, DHHC entered into certain private placement transactions (collectively, the “Share Lock-Up Agreements”) with certain investors who purchased shares of DHHC’s Class A common stock on the open market prior to March 16, 2023 (each a “Lock-Up Investor”), pursuant to which, and subject to and conditioned upon the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Share Lock-Up Agreements, DHHC agreed to issue to each Lock-Up Investor 0.25 UHG Class A Common Shares (up to 421,100 UHG Class A Common Shares in the aggregate) for a purchase price of $0.01 per share, for each share of DHHC Class A Common Shares held by such Lock-Up Investor at the Closing. The obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Share Lock-Up Agreements are conditioned upon the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Share Lock Up Agreements, including the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

 

Also, on March 23, 2023, DHHC and certain investors (“PIPE Investors”) entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) providing for the purchase by the PIPE Investors at the effective time of the Business Combination of an aggregate of 471,500 shares of UHG Class A Common Shares at a price per share of $10.00, and provided further that for each UHG Class A Common Share purchased by each PIPE Investor, UHG will issue to the applicable PIPE Investor 0.25 UHG Class A Common Shares (up to 117,875 UHG Class A Common Shares in the aggregate) for a purchase price of $0.01 per share for gross proceeds to UHG of approximately $4.7 million. The obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreements are conditioned upon the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the PIPE Subscription Agreements, including the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Lock-Up Agreements and the PIPE Subscription Agreements, as applicable, each of the Lock-Up Investors and the PIPE Investors have agreed to subject all of the UHG Class A Common Shares held by each such investor following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by their respective Share Lock-Up Agreement or PIPE Subscription Agreement, as applicable (the “Lock-Up Shares”), to resale and transfer restrictions for a period of one year for 50% of such Lock-Up Shares and two years for the remaining 50% of such Lock-Up Shares, subject to customary exceptions. The foregoing resale and transfer restrictions may be released or waived by DHHC; provided that to the extent any Lock-Up Investor or PIPE Investor is granted a release or waiver from such restrictions, other Lock-Up Investors and PIPE Investors with similar restrictions will generally be automatically granted a release or waiver from the similar restrictions affecting them to the same extent.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Share Lock-Up Agreements and the PIPE Subscription Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Share Lock-Up Agreement and form of PIPE Subscription Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Report under the heading “Subscription Agreements” is incorporated by reference herein. The UHG Class A Common Shares to be issued by DHHC in connection with the Share Lock-Up Agreements and the PIPE Subscription Agreements will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the offers and sales of securities with respect thereto are being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

 

 

  

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, estimates, targets and projections in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between DHHC and GSH. Forward looking statements generally relate to future events or involving, or future performance of, DHHC or GSH. For example, statements regarding anticipated growth in the industry in which GSH operates and anticipated growth in demand for GSH’s products, projections of GSH’s future financial results and other metrics, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the proposed transaction between DHHC and GSH and the timing of the completion of the proposed transaction are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “pro forma”, “may”, “should”, “could”, “might”, “plan”, “possible”, “project”, “strive”, “budget”, “forecast”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by DHHC and its management, and GSH and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (i) the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of DHHC’s securities; (ii) the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed by DHHC’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by DHHC; (iii) the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed transaction; (iv) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the proposed transaction; (v) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against DHHC, GSH, the combined company or others following the announcement of the business combination agreement relating to the proposed transaction, the ancillary agreements contemplated thereby and the transactions contemplated thereby; (vi) the risk that DHHC will not be able to raise third-party financing to meet the Minimum Cash Condition (as defined in the Registration Statement) if redemptions of DHHC public shares cause the DHHC trust account to have insufficient funds (after giving effect to redemptions) to achieve the Minimum Cash Condition; (vii) changes to the proposed structure of the proposed transaction that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations; (viii) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the proposed transaction; (ix) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of GSH or diverts management’s attention from GSH’s ongoing business; (x) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, and maintain relationships with customers and suppliers; (xi) costs related to the proposed transaction; (xii) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (xiii) the possibility that GSH or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors such as rising interest rates or an economic downturn; (xiv) GSH’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (xv) the evolution of the markets in which GSH competes; (xvi) the ability of GSH to implement its strategic initiatives; and (xvii) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in DHHC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and other risks and uncertainties indicated in the Definitive Proxy, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed with the SEC by DHHC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

 

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and DHHC and GSH assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither DHHC nor GSH gives any assurance that either DHHC or GSH will achieve its expectations. The inclusion of any statement in this communication does not constitute an admission by DHHC or GSH or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed transaction. This Current Report on Form 8-K also does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities will be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, or an exemption therefrom.

The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that (a) in no event will the Investor be required to purchase any DHHC Class A Shares in any amount in excess of the Share Purchase Commitment and (b) such DHHC Class A Shares shall not be subject to any restrictions on transfer or disposition, other than in accordance with applicable law and other than those expressly set forth in this letter agreement.

2.            Share Issuance: Subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph 4, promptly, but in any case, no later than five (5) Business Days following the consummation of the Transaction (the “Closing”), DHHC agrees to issue to Investor 0.25 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the post-combination company (“UHG Class A Shares,” and such issued UHG Class A Shares collectively, the “Issued Shares” and such Issued Shares collectively with the Purchased Shares, the “Relevant Shares”) for each DHHC Class A Share held by the Investor at the Closing, as certified by Investor in the certificate contemplated by paragraph 4(b), rounded down to the nearest whole number of UHG Class A Shares; provided, that, the Issued Shares shall not exceed [●] UHG Class A Shares. Investor agrees to pay to DHHC an initial purchase price of $0.01 per Issued Share for an aggregate purchase price of up to $ [●].

 

3.            Lock- Up.

 

a.            General Restrictions. During the Lock-Up Period (defined below), the Investor agrees not to (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option, or contract to purchase, purchase any option, or contract to sell, grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Relevant Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another Person, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Relevant Shares, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii), a “Prohibited Transfer”), prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

b.            Permitted Transfers.

 

i.Permitted Transferees. The provisions of paragraph 3(a) shall not apply to the transfer of any or all of the Relevant Shares by the Investor (A) to any Permitted Transferee (defined below), (B) by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon the death of an individual and (C) pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union; provided, however, that it shall be a condition to such transfer that such transfer complies with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) promulgated thereunder, and other applicable law, and that the transferee executes and delivers to UHG (defined below) an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Relevant Shares subject to the provisions of this letter agreement, and there shall be no further transfer of such Relevant Shares except in accordance with this letter agreement. As used in this letter agreement, “Permitted Transferee” means: (1) the members of the Investor’s immediate family (for purposes of this letter agreement, “immediate family” shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person’s spouse or domestic partner, the siblings of such person, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents) of such person), (2) any trust solely for the direct or indirect benefit of the Investor or the immediate family of the Investor, (3) if the Investor is a trust, to the trustor or beneficiary of such trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, (4) if the Investor is an entity, officers, directors, general partners, limited partners, members, or stockholders of such entity that receive such transfer as a distribution, or related investment funds or vehicles controlled or managed by such persons or their respective Affiliates. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more entities, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such specified Person. The term “control” (including the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. “Person” means an individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof. “UHG” refers to DHHC after the Closing.

 

ii.Change of Control. The provisions of this paragraph 3 shall not apply to any transfer by the Investor pursuant to a merger, stock sale, consolidation or other business combination of UHG with a third party purchaser approved by the board of directors of UHG that results in a change in control of UHG.

 

c.            Miscellaneous Provisions Relating to Transfers.

 

i.Prior Notice. Prior to the transfer of any Relevant Shares permitted by paragraph 3(b)(i) (a “Permitted Transfer”), the Investor shall give UHG at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice of such Permitted Transfer, other than in the case of transfers upon the death of an individual. Prior to the consummation of any such Permitted Transfer, or prior to any transfer pursuant to which rights and obligations of the transferor under this letter agreement are assigned in accordance with the terms of this letter agreement, the transferor shall cause the transferee to agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this letter agreement and shall provide any documents required by the transfer agent for the UHG Class A Shares to consummate such transfer. Upon the consummation of any Permitted Transfer, the transferee thereof shall be substituted for, and shall assume all the rights and obligations under this letter agreement, of the transferor thereof.

 

 

 

ii.Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter agreement, the Investor agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, transfer any of its Relevant Shares except as permitted under the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

 

iii.Null and Void. If any transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this letter agreement, such Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and UHG shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Relevant Shares as one of its equity holders for any purpose, and shall refuse to record any such purported Prohibited Transfer in the books of the Company. In order to enforce this paragraph 3, UHG may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Relevant Shares of the Investor (and Permitted Transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

 

iv.Stockholder Rights. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Investor will retain all of its rights as a stockholder of UHG during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Relevant Shares.

 

v.Early Release of Lock-Up Restrictions. The foregoing notwithstanding, DHHC agrees that to the extent any stockholder of UHG subject to the same lock-up period as contemplated herein is granted a release or waiver from such lock-up restrictions, then the Investor will be automatically granted a release or waiver from the restrictions contained in this paragraph 3 to the same extent, on substantially the same terms as and on a pro rata basis with, the stockholder to which such release or waiver is granted.

 

4.            Closing Conditions. The obligation of UHG to consummate the Share Issuance pursuant to this letter agreement is conditioned upon:

 

a.            the consummation of the Transaction in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement; and

 

b.            promptly following the Closing, delivery of a certificate, signed by the Investor, to UHG certifying (i) that such Investor has consummated the purchase of its Share Purchase Commitment and (ii) to the number of DHHC Class A Shares beneficially owned by the Investor as of the Closing.

(iv)             Registrable Securities” means (i) the Shares or (ii) any shares of capital stock or other securities of UHG issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of any of the foregoing securities. As to any particular Registrable Securities, such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when: (a) a Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such securities shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been sold, transferred, disposed of, or exchanged in accordance with such Registration Statement; (b) such securities shall have been otherwise transferred, new certificates for them not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by UHG and subsequent public distribution of them shall not require registration under the Securities Act; (c) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding; or (d) the Registrable Securities are freely saleable under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect) without volume or manner-of-sale limitations.

 

13

 

 

(v)               Registration Statement” means a registration statement filed by UHG with the SEC in compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder for a public offering and sale of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8, or their successors, or any registration statement covering only securities proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of another entity).

 

(vi)             SEC Guidance” means (i) any publicly-available written guidance, or rule of general applicability of the SEC staff, or (ii) written comments, requirements or requests of the SEC staff to UHG in connection with the review of the Registration Statement.

 

(vii)          Shelf Registration” shall mean a registration of securities pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect).

 

(b)            Initial Filing. As soon as practicable following the Closing, but no later than the Filing Date, UHG shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement for Shelf Registration on Form S-1 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Subject to the terms of this Subscription Agreement, UHG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, or may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, without the requirement for UHG to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as determined by the counsel to UHG pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the transfer agent and the Investor (the “Effectiveness Period”). UHG shall telephonically request effectiveness of the Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on a Business Day. UHG shall promptly notify the Investor by e-mail of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on the same Business Day that UHG telephonically confirms effectiveness with the SEC. UHG shall, no later than the second Business Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424 of the Securities Act.

 

14

 

 

(c)            Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, UHG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, cause such Shelf Registration Statement to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, UHG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Investor to sell its Registrable Securities included therein, and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that UHG is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. In the event that Investor holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, UHG, upon request of Investor, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at UHG’s option, any available Shelf Registration Statement (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and causing the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, UHG shall only be required to cause such additional Registrable Securities to be so covered once annually after inquiry of the Investor.

 

(d)          Commission Cutback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subscription Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement (and notwithstanding that UHG used diligent efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), the number of Registrable Securities to be registered shall be reduced on a on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by Investor and any other holder of capital stock of UHG with registration rights substantially similar to the rights provided to Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. In the event of a reduction hereunder, UHG shall give Investor at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to Investor’s allotment. Promptly after such SEC Guidance is no longer applicable with respect to some or all of the remaining unregistered Registrable Securities, UHG shall file an additional Registration Statement in accordance with this Section 9 with respect to such unregistered Registrable Securities.

 

15

 

 

(e)           Selling Stockholder Questionnaire. Investor agrees to furnish to UHG a completed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, in the form set forth as Schedule C hereto, within two (2) Business Days following the date of this Subscription Agreement. Investor further acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or use the applicable prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time unless Investor has returned to UHG a completed and signed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire. If Investor returns a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire after the deadline specified in the previous sentence, UHG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are required to name Investor as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or any pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto and to include (to the extent not theretofore included) in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities identified in such late Selling Stockholder Questionnaire; provided that UHG shall not be required to file an additional Registration Statement solely for such shares.

 

10.           Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of DHHC and the Investor hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of DHHC or the Investor in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of DHHC and the Investor to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) DHHC’s notification to the Investor in writing that it has, with the written consent of the Company, abandoned its plans to move forward with the Transaction and/or terminated the Investor’s obligations with respect to the subscription without the delivery of the Subscribed Shares having occurred, (d) the Termination Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), if Closing has not occurred by such date or (e) at the election of the Investor, if there has occurred a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of DHHC set forth in this Subscription Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of DHHC shall have become untrue, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 4(a) and 4(c) are not capable of being satisfied by the Termination Date (each of clauses (a) through (e) above, a “Termination Event”); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. DHHC shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Investor to DHHC in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) following the Termination Event be returned in full to the Investor by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Investor, without any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding, charges or set-off, whether or not the Transaction shall have been consummated.

 

16

 

 

11.           Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that DHHC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving DHHC and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in DHHC’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated January 25, 2021 (the “IPO Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of DHHC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of DHHC’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of DHHC and its public stockholders. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to DHHC to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the IPO Prospectus. For and in consideration of DHHC entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for such a claim; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock currently outstanding on the date hereof, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such shares of Class A Common Stock, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed with DHHC to not exercise such redemption right.

 

12.            Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           The rights and obligations of the Investor and DHHC under this Subscription Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempted assignment shall be null and void and of no force or effect, except as permitted by the terms of this Subscription Agreement.

 

(b)           DHHC may request from the Investor such additional information as DHHC may deem necessary to register the resale of the Shares and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested. The Investor acknowledges that DHHC may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of DHHC.

 

(c)           The Investor acknowledges that DHHC, the Company and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement and that the Company is a third-party beneficiary of those provisions. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify DHHC and the Company if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 above are no longer accurate. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the purchase by the Investor of Shares from DHHC will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by the Investor as of the time of such purchase.

 

17

 

 

(d)           The Investor acknowledges and agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor, shall, directly or indirectly, engage in any hedging activities or execute any Short Sales with respect to the securities of DHHC prior to the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms. “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including, without limitation, on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. This Section 12(d) shall not apply to any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of DHHC (i) held by the Investor, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (ii) purchased by the Investor, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates in open market transactions after the execution of this Subscription Agreement. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12(d) shall not apply to ordinary course, non-speculative hedging transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) nothing in this Section 12(d) shall prohibit any entities under common management with Investor that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Investor’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Investor’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales; and (B) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the representation set forth above-shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.

 

(e)           DHHC and the Company are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably-authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry-with respect to the matters covered hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not give the Company any rights other than those expressly set forth herein and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to rely on any of the representations and warranties of DHHC set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

 

(f)            All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

 

(g)           This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 10 above) except by an instrument in writing signed by each of DHHC and the Investor; provided, however, that no amendment, supplement, modification or waiver by DHHC of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Company (other than modifications or waivers that are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Subscription Agreement). No failure or delay of either DHHC or the Investor in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of DHHC and the Investor hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

 

18

 

 

(h)          This Subscription Agreement (including the schedules hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between DHHC and the Investor, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Sections 12(c), 12(g) and 12(g) and the last sentence of Section 12(l) with respect to the persons specifically referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than DHHC and the Investor, and their respective successor and assigns, and DHHC and the Investor acknowledge that such persons so referenced are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to such provisions.

 

(i)            Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of DHHC and the Investor and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

 

(j)            If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

 

(k)           This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

(l)             DHHC and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement in any Chosen Court (as defined below), this being in addition to any other remedy to which DHHC or the Investor is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. DHHC and the Investor acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek to specifically enforce the Investor’s obligations to fund the Subscription Amount and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement of which the Company is an express third party beneficiary, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
