Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On January 24, 2021, TS Innovation Acquisitions Corp., a Delaware corporation (“TSIA”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Lionet Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of TSIA (“Merger Sub”), and Latch, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Latch”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Latch, with Latch surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of TSIA (the “Merger”).

Latch is an enterprise technology company focused on revolutionizing the way people experience spaces by making spaces better places to live, work, and visit. Latch has created a full-building operating system, LatchOS, that addresses the essential needs of modern buildings by streamlining building operations, enhancing the resident experience, and enabling more efficient interactions with service providers.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Latch common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Latch common stock”) (including shares of Latch common stock issued upon conversion of Latch preferred stock and convertible notes immediately prior to the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), but excluding shares owned by Latch as treasury stock or dissenting shares), will be converted into the right to receive such number of shares of TSIA’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, TSIA is required to cause the Common Stock to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) to be listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) prior to the Closing.

In addition, as of the Effective Time, (i) each option to purchase Latch common stock (a “Company Option”), other than the Cash Elected Company Options (as defined below), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement, (ii) each award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Latch common stock (a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed and converted into the right to receive an award of restricted stock units denominated in a number of shares of Common Stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement and (iii) each vested Company Option with respect to which an election to receive only cash consideration has been properly made (a “Cash Elected Company Option”) will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash as set forth in the Merger Agreement, subject to an aggregate cap on the cash consideration payable with respect to all Cash Elected Company Options of $10,000,000 (collectively, the “Cash Elections”).

The consummation of the proposed Transactions is subject to the receipt of the requisite approval of the stockholders of each of TSIA and Latch (such approvals, the “TSIA stockholder approval” and the “Latch stockholder approval,” respectively) and the fulfillment of certain other conditions.

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties thereto with respect to, among other things, (a) entity organization, formation and authority, (b) capital structure, (c) authorization to enter into the Merger Agreement, (d) approvals and permits, (e) financial statements, (f) absence of changes, (g) absence of undisclosed liabilities, (h) litigation, (i) employee matters, (j) compliance with laws, (k) taxes, (l) real property, (m) intellectual property and (n) material contracts.

Covenants

The Merger Agreement includes customary covenants of the parties with respect to operation of the business prior to consummation of the Transactions and efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Transactions. The Merger Agreement also contains additional covenants of the parties, including, among others, (a) covenants providing for TSIA and Latch to use reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals and (b) covenants providing for TSIA, Merger Sub and Latch to cooperate in the preparation of the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement (as each such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) required to be filed in connection with the Transactions.


TSIA Incentive Plan

Prior to the Closing, TSIA will adopt the TSIA Incentive Plan (as defined in the Merger Agreement) subject to the receipt of the TSIA stockholder approval.

Latch Non-Solicitation Restrictions

Except as expressly permitted by the Merger Agreement, from the date of the Merger Agreement to the Effective Time or, if earlier, the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, Latch has agreed not to, among other things, (i) initiate any negotiations with any person with respect to, or provide any non-public information or data concerning any Latch to any person relating to, an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or afford to any person access to the business, properties, assets or personnel of Latch in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction or (ii) enter into any acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement, or any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or agreement in principle, or any other agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction.

TSIA Exclusivity Restrictions

From the date of the Merger Agreement to the Effective Time or, if earlier, the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, TSIA has agreed not to, among other things, solicit, initiate, continue or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or enter into any agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or agreement in principle with, or encourage, respond, provide information to or commence due diligence with respect to, any person (other than Latch, its stockholders or any of their affiliates or representatives), concerning, relating to or which is intended or is reasonably likely to give rise to or result in any Business Combination Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) other than with Latch, its stockholders and their affiliates or representatives.

Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations

The obligation of TSIA and Latch to consummate the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, (ii) the approval of TSIA’s shareholders, (iii) the approval of Latch’s shareholders and (iv) the Registration Statement becoming effective.

In addition, the obligation of TSIA to consummate the Merger is subject to the fulfillment of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the representations and warranties of Latch being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of Latch having been performed or complied with in all material respects.

The obligation of Latch to consummate the Merger is also subject to the fulfillment of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of TSIA and Merger Sub being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of TSIA having been performed or complied with in all material respects, (ii) the amount of Required Funds (as defined in the Merger Agreement) being equal to or exceeding $150,000,000, (iii) the approval by NASDAQ of TSIA’s listing application in connection with the Merger and (iv) the effective resignations of certain directors and executive officers of TSIA.

Waivers

If permitted under applicable law, either TSIA or Latch may waive in writing any conditions for the benefit of itself or such party contained in the Merger Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to TSIA’s current certificate of incorporation, TSIA cannot consummate the proposed transaction if it has less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) remaining after the Closing.


Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of TSIA and Latch, (ii) by TSIA if the representations and warranties of Latch are not true and correct or if Latch fails to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iii) by Latch if the representations and warranties of TSIA are not true and correct or if TSIA fails to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iv) subject to certain limited exceptions, by either TSIA or Latch if the Merger is not consummated by July 31, 2021, (v) by either TSIA or Latch if certain required approvals are not obtained from TSIA shareholders after the conclusion of a meeting of TSIA’s stockholders held for such purpose at which such shareholders voted on such approvals, (vi) by either TSIA or Latch if a law or governmental order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger shall have been enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered and shall have become final and non-appealable and (vii) by TSIA if Latch’s shareholders do not deliver the Support Agreement executed by holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all outstanding stock within two business days following the date of the Merger Agreement.

If the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, none of the parties to the Merger Agreement will have any liability or any further obligation under the Merger Agreement other than customary confidentiality obligations, except in the case of Willful Breach (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about TSIA, Latch or any other party to the Merger Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Merger Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the Merger Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in TSIA’s public disclosures.

Sponsor Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, TS Innovation Acquisitions Sponsor, L.L.C, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and TSIA’s directors and officers (together with Sponsor, the “Sponsor Agreement Parties”) entered into an amended and restated letter agreement (the “Sponsor Agreement”) with TSIA and Latch, pursuant to which the Sponsor Agreement Parties agreed to, among other things, (i) vote at any meeting of the shareholders of TSIA all of their shares of Common Stock and Founder Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Agreement) held of record or thereafter acquired in favor of the Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Merger and (iii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to such securities, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement.

The Sponsor Agreement Parties have also agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer any (i) Founder Shares (or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Merger or (B) subsequent to the Merger, (x) if the last sale price of Common Stock


equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Merger or (y) the date on which TSIA completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or similar transaction that results in all of TSIA’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”) or (ii) Private Placement Warrants (as defined in the Sponsor Agreement) (or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof) until 30 days after the completion of the Merger (the “Private Placement Warrants Lock-up Period” and, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up Periods”).

The Sponsor Agreement also provides that all the Founder Shares (and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) will be subject to certain time and performance-based vesting provisions described below. The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer any unvested Founder Shares prior to the date such securities become vested. Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, 90% of the Founder Shares will vest at the closing of the Merger. 10% of the Founder Shares will vest at such time as the Stock Price Level (as defined below) is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing.

In the event TSIA enters into a binding agreement on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing related to certain sale transactions involving the shares of Common Stock or all or substantially all the assets of TSIA (a “TSIA Sale”), all unvested Founder Shares will vest on the day prior to the closing of such TSIA Sale if the per share price implied in such TSIA Sale meets or exceeds the Stock Price Level.

Any Founder Shares that remain unvested after the fifth anniversary of the Closing will be forfeited. The “Stock Price Level” will be considered achieved only (a) when the volume weighted average price of Common Stock on the NASDAQ is greater than or equal to $14.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period or (b) the per share price implied in a TSIA Sale is greater than or equal to $14.00.

The Sponsor Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (a) the consummation of a TSIA Sale and (b) the later of (i) the earlier of (x) the achievement of a Stock Price Level on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing and (y) the fifth anniversary of the Closing and (ii) the expiration of the Lock-up Periods.

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sponsor Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Latch Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of Latch representing the requisite votes necessary to approve the Merger entered into a support agreement (the “Latch Support Agreement”) with TSIA and Latch, pursuant to which each such holder agreed to (i) vote at any meeting of the shareholders of Latch all of its Latch stock (or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Latch common stock or preferred stock) held of record or thereafter acquired in favor of the Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and appoint Latch as such holder’s proxy, (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Merger and (iii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to such securities, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Latch Support Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Latch Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Latch Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, TSIA entered into subscription agreements with certain parties subscribing for shares of Common Stock (the “Subscribers” and such transactions, the “Subscriptions”), pursuant to which the Subscribers have agreed to purchase, and TSIA has agreed to sell the Subscribers, (i) an aggregate of 19,000,000 shares of Common Stock, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and at an aggregate purchase price of $190,000,000, plus (ii) a number of shares of Common Stock, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, equal to the value necessary to fund the Cash Elections. The Subscriptions are expected to close immediately prior to the Closing on the closing date. The consummation of the Subscriptions is contingent upon,


among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Merger. The shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance on the availability of an exemption from such registration.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.3 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, TSIA and certain stockholders of Latch and TSIA will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which TSIA will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), certain shares of Common Stock and other equity securities of TSIA that are held by the parties thereto from time to time.

Transfer Restrictions

Additionally, Latch stockholders will be subject to certain restrictions on transfer with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued as part of the Merger Consideration (the “Lock-Up Shares”) pursuant to the form of bylaws to be adopted by TSIA immediately prior to the Closing. Such restrictions begin at Closing and end on the date that is the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Merger and (B)(i) for 25% of the Lock-up Shares held by each Latch stockholder and their respective permitted transferees, the date on which the last reported sale price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after the Merger, (ii) for an additional 25% of the Lock-up Shares held by each Latch stockholder and their respective permitted transferees, the date on which the last reported sale price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $14.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Merger, (iii) for an additional 25% of the Lock-up Shares held by each Latch stockholder and their respective permitted transferees, the date on which the last reported sale price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Merger and (iv) for an additional 25% of the Lock-up Shares held by each Latch stockholder and their respective permitted transferees, the date on which the last reported sale price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Merger.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT

This document relates to a proposed transaction between Latch and TSIA. This document does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. TSIA intends to file a registration statement on Form S-4 that will include a proxy statement of TSIA and a prospectus of TSIA. The proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all TSIA and Latch stockholders. TSIA also will file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC. Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of TSIA and Latch are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction.

Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by TSIA through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. In addition, the documents filed by TSIA may be obtained free of charge from TSIA’s website at www.TSIAcorp.com or by written request to TSIA at TS Innovation Acquisitions Corp., 45 Rockefeller Plaza, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10111.

TSIA and Latch and their respective directors and officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from TSIA’s stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction. Information about TSIA’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of TSIA’s securities is set forth in TSIA’s filings with the SEC, including TSIA’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, which was filed with the SEC on November 5, 2020. To the extent that holdings of TSIA’s securities have changed since the amounts printed in TSIA’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of those persons and other persons who may be deemed participants in the proposed transaction may be obtained by reading the proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed transaction when it becomes available. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between Latch and TSIA, including statements regarding the benefits of the transaction, the anticipated timing of the transaction, the services offered by Latch and the markets in which it operates, and Latch’s projected future results. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction, including the contemporaneous private placement of equity securities (the “PIPE investment”), may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of TSIA’s securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by TSIA’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by TSIA, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the adoption of the agreement and plan of merger by the stockholders of TSIA and Latch, the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following redemptions by TSIA’s public stockholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed transaction, (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the agreement and plan of merger or the termination of any PIPE investor’s subscription agreement, (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Latch’s business relationships, performance, and business generally, (vii) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans of Latch or diverts management’s attention from Latch’s ongoing business operations and potential difficulties in Latch employee retention as a result of the proposed


transaction, (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Latch, TSIA or their respective directors or officers related to the agreement and plan of merger or the proposed transaction, (ix) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the proposed transaction and PIPE investment, (x) the ability to maintain the listing of TSIA’s securities on NASDAQ, (xi) the price of TSIA’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which Latch plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting Latch’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities, including the conversion of pre-orders into binding orders, (xiii) the amount of redemption requests made by TSIA’s public stockholders, (xiv) the ability of TSIA to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the transaction or in the future, (xv) possible variances between the unaudited historical financial information Latch presents and its audited financial statements, when they become available and (xvi) the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on any of the foregoing. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of TSIA’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, the registration statement on Form S-4 and proxy statement/prospectus described below and other documents filed by TSIA from time to time with the SEC. 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. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Latch and TSIA 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 Latch nor TSIA gives any assurance that either Latch or TSIA will achieve its expectations. The inclusion of any statement in this communication does not constitute an admission by Latch or TSIA or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, (a) at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the DGCL, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, (b) the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Company”) and from and after the Effective Time, shall be a wholly owned Subsidiary of TSIA, and the separate corporate existence of the Company with all of its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger as provided in the DGCL, and (c) the Merger shall have such other effects as provided in the DGCL.

1.2 Closing.

2


1.3 Effective Time. As soon as practicable following, and on the date of, the Closing, the Company and TSIA will cause a certificate of merger relating to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as provided in Section 251 of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time when the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with and accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date and time as may be agreed by the Parties in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger (such date and time, the “Effective Time”).

1.4 The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Company. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto, and as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company, until thereafter supplemented or amended in accordance with its terms and the DGCL (the “Surviving Company Certificate of Incorporation”).

1.5 The Bylaws of the Surviving Company. The Parties shall take all actions necessary so that the bylaws of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated to be in the form of the bylaws set forth in Exhibit G, until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law (the “Surviving Company Bylaws”).

1.6 Directors of the Surviving Company. The Parties shall take all necessary action prior to the Effective Time such that (a) each director of the Company in office immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be a director immediately following the Effective Time (including by causing each such director to tender an irrevocable resignation as a director, effective as of the Effective Time) and (b) each person set forth in Section 1.6 of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be appointed to the board of directors of the Surviving Company, effective as of immediately following the Effective Time, and, as of such time, shall be the only directors of the Surviving Company (including by causing the Company Board to adopt resolutions prior to the Effective Time that expand or decrease the size of the Company Board, as necessary, and appoint such persons to the vacancies resulting from the incumbent directors’ respective resignations or, if applicable, the newly created directorships upon any expansion of the size of the Company Board). Each person appointed as a director of the Surviving Company pursuant to the preceding sentence shall remain in office as a director of the Surviving Company until his or her successor is elected or appointed and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Surviving Company Bylaws.

1.7 Officers of the Surviving Company. The Parties shall take all necessary actions so that the officers of the Company at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Company until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Surviving Company Bylaws.

ARTICLE II

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

2.1 Conversion of Securities.

(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause each share of Company Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding to be automatically converted into a number of shares of Company Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Article IV(C), Section 4.2 of the Company Certificate of Incorporation (the “Preferred Stock Conversion”). After the Preferred Stock Conversion, all of the shares of Company Preferred Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Company Preferred Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities.

 

3


(b) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest due on the Company Convertible Notes immediately prior to the Effective Time to be automatically converted into a number of shares of Company Common Stock as set forth in Section 3 of the applicable Company Convertible Note (the “Convertible Notes Conversion”). All of the Company Convertible Notes converted into shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist and each holder of Company Convertible Notes shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities.

(c) At the Effective Time (and, for the avoidance of doubt, following the Preferred Stock Conversion, the Convertible Notes Conversion and the Warrant Settlement), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof:

(i) each share of Company Common Stock (including Company Stock resulting from the Preferred Stock Conversion, the Convertible Notes Conversion and the Warrant Settlement) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than the Dissenting Shares (the “Eligible Shares”) shall thereupon be converted into the right to receive, and the holder of such share of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, a number of shares of TSIA Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, subject to rounding pursuant to Section 2.3(g) (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”);

(ii) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall thereupon be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Surviving Company, and all such shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Company as of immediately following the Effective Time;

(iii) each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company (“Treasury Shares”) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto; and

(iv) each of the Dissenting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and cease to exist in accordance with Section 2.9(a) and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments set forth in Section 2.9(a).

2.2 Treatment of Company Options.

(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Option”) under the Stock Plans that is not a Cash Elected Company Option, whether vested or unvested, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent an option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of TSIA Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) (each, an “Assumed Option”) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio, in each case, as set forth in the Ownership Allocation; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Company Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that in the case of any Company Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. Except as expressly provided above, following the Effective Time, each Company Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

4


(b) At the Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock units, if any, relating to shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company RSU”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent a right to receive shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into a restricted stock unit relating to a number of shares of TSIA Common Stock equal to the product (rounded to the nearest whole number) (each, an “Assumed RSU”) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio. Except as expressly provided above, following the Effective Time, each Company RSU shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and settlement terms) as were applicable to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) TSIA Actions. TSIA shall take all actions that are necessary for the assumption of the Company Options and Company RSUs pursuant to this Section 2.2, including the reservation, issuance and listing of TSIA Common Stock as necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.2. If registration of any plan interests in the Stock Plans or other Company Benefit Plans or the shares of TSIA Common Stock issuable thereunder is required under the Securities Act, TSIA shall file with the SEC within 60 days of the Closing Date a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to such interests or TSIA Common Stock, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as the relevant Stock Plans or other Company Benefit Plans, as applicable, remain in effect and such registration of interests therein or the shares of TSIA Common Stock issuable thereunder continues to be required.

(d) Vested Company Option Cash Election. At the Effective Time, each Vested Company Option with respect to which an election to receive only cash (a “Cash Election”) has been properly made and not revoked pursuant to Section 2.3 (a “Cash Elected Company Option”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive, subject to Section 2.2(e), an amount in cash equal to (i) the Per Share Value, without interest, minus (ii) the exercise price applicable to the share of Company Common Stock underlying such Cash Elected Company Option (the “Cash Election Consideration”). All Cash Election Consideration payable to the holders of Cash Elected Company Options (“Cash Election Optionholders”) will be paid as soon as practicable after the Closing Date through the regular payroll processes of the Company and shall be subject to all applicable Tax and other withholdings.

(e) Cash Election Cut-Backs. If the aggregate amount of Cash Election Consideration to be paid in respect of the aggregate number of Cash Elected Company Options would exceed the Cash Election Consideration Cap, a portion of the Vested Company Options that would otherwise be considered Cash Elected Company Options will be reduced in accordance with this Section 2.2(e) by the minimum amount necessary to provide that the total Cash Election Consideration does not exceed the Cash Election Consideration Cap. Such reduction shall be applied to the Vested Company Options held by each Cash Election Optionholder in such reasonable and equitable manner as is determined by the Company such that the Cash Election Consideration to be received by each Cash Election Optionholder is reduced by the same percentage amount. Following any such reduction in the Vested Company Options eligible to receive Cash Election Consideration pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(e), the remaining Company Options held by each Cash Election Optionholder shall be converted into Assumed Options in accordance with Section 2.2(a).

2.3 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, TSIA shall deposit or cause to be deposited with a bank or trust company selected by TSIA to serve as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Eligible Shares, an aggregate number of shares of TSIA Common Stock to be issued in non-certificated book-entry form equal to the Aggregate Share Consideration and, if applicable, an aggregate amount of cash equal to the Aggregate Cash Election Consideration, comprising the amounts required to be delivered in respect of the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2. In addition, TSIA shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions, if any, to which the holders of Eligible Shares may be

 

5


entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(f) with both a record and payment date after the Effective Time and prior to the surrender of such Eligible Shares. Such shares of TSIA Common Stock comprising the Aggregate Share Consideration, such cash comprising the Aggregate Cash Election Consideration and the amount of any dividends or other distributions deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than a purpose expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) Procedures for Surrender. Prior to the Effective Time, TSIA shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of Company Common Stock evidenced by certificates (the “Certificates”) entitled to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 a letter of transmittal, which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to TSIA and the Company (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and shall specify (i) that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal. Within two Business Days (but in no event prior to the Effective Time) after the surrender to the Exchange Agent of all Certificates held by such holder for cancellation, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions (the “Transmittal Documents”), the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and TSIA shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1 and as set forth in the Ownership Allocation, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3(b), each Certificate entitled to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1 shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1.

(c) Delivery of Consideration to Other Persons. If any Per Share Merger Consideration is to be delivered or issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered immediately prior to the Effective Time, it shall be a condition to such delivery that (i) the transfer of such Company Common Stock shall have been permitted in accordance with the terms of the Organizational Documents of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, (iii) the recipient of such Per Share Merger Consideration, or the Person in whose name such Per Share Merger Consideration is delivered or issued, shall have already executed and delivered such other Transmittal Documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Exchange Agent or TSIA and (iv) the Person requesting such delivery shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such delivery to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Election Procedures. Each holder of record of Vested Company Options (a “Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article II, to submit an Election in accordance with this Section 2.3(d) on or prior to the Election Deadline. The Company shall not waive the Election Deadline unless such Election Deadline is waived with respect to all Holders, the new election deadline is disclosed by the Company to all Holders on a date agreed to by TSIA, and TSIA has otherwise given its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied) to such waiver. “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Parties shall cooperate to inform each Holder of the anticipated date of the Election Deadline at least five Business Days prior to the anticipated date of the Election Deadline.

(i) Each Holder shall specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3(d)(i) (an “Election”) whether such Holder desires to make a Cash Election with respect to such Holder’s Vested Company Options; provided, that a Holder shall not be permitted to make an Election in respect of more than 25% of the Vested Company Options held by such Holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and any Election in excess of that threshold shall be reduced automatically to 25% of the Vested Company

 

6


Options held by such Holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. If any Holder fails to make an Election or makes an Election only with respect to a portion of such Holder’s Vested Company Options, the portion of such Holder’s Vested Company Options with respect to which such Holder did not make an Election shall be automatically treated as set forth in Section 2.2(a).

(ii) The Company shall prepare a form of election that is reasonably acceptable to TSIA (the “Form of Election”), which shall be included with the Letter of Transmittal contemplated by Section 2.3(b), and TSIA shall mail, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail the Form of Election to Holders as of the record date established by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Election Record Date”), in consultation with TSIA, not less than 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline (the period between such mailing and the Election Deadline, the “Election Period”). TSIA shall use reasonable best efforts to make available one or more Forms of Election as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all persons who become Holders during the period following the Election Record Date and prior to the Election Deadline.

(iii) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, by the Election Deadline, (A) a Form of Election properly completed and signed in accordance with the instructions therein, and (B) the properly completed and executed documents required to be delivered by such Holder pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.3, as applicable. Any Holder that does not make a valid Election by the Election Deadline shall be deemed to have made no Cash Election, and all of such Holder’s Vested Company Options shall be automatically treated as set forth in Section 2.2(a).

(iv) Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, revoke his, her or its Election by written notice to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline, together with a properly completed and signed revised Form of Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the Company or TSIA that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article IX. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine if any Election is not properly made, changed or revoked with respect to any Vested Company Options (none of the Company, TSIA, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any Holder of any applicable defect). In the event the Exchange Agent makes a reasonable determination that an Election was not properly made (including as a result of the Exchange Agent not receiving an Election by the Election Deadline), such Election shall be deemed to be ineffective, and the Vested Company Options covered by such Election shall be automatically treated as set forth in Section 2.2(a).

(e) Stop Transfer. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company, TSIA or the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with, the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3.

(f) Distributions with Respect to Un-surrendered Certificates. All shares of TSIA Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by TSIA in respect of the TSIA Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of shares of TSIA Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any un-surrendered Certificate until the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section 2.5) is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article II. Subject to applicable Law, following such surrender, there shall be issued or paid to the holder of record of the whole shares of TSIA Common Stock issued in exchange for Eligible Shares in accordance with this Article II, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of TSIA Common Stock and not paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of TSIA Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and prior to surrender, but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(g) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a share of TSIA Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger or the other Transactions, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of TSIA Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of TSIA Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall instead have the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of TSIA Common Stock.

(h) No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable for shares of TSIA Common Stock pursuant to this Article II.

2.4 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any deposit of the Exchange Fund and any shares of TSIA Common Stock) that remains unclaimed by the 180th day after the Effective Time shall be delivered to TSIA. Any holder of Eligible Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to TSIA for delivery of the Aggregate Merger Consideration and any unpaid non-stock dividends and any other dividends or other distributions, in each case, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article II.

2.5 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Per Share Merger Consideration and any unpaid non-stock dividends and any other dividends or other distributions, in each case, payable or issuable pursuant to this Article II, had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

2.6 Withholding Rights. Each of TSIA and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any recipient such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. Other than with respect to any withholding requirement arising out of a change in law or facts occurring after the date that is 10 days prior to the Closing Date, TSIA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company with at least 10 days prior written notice of any amounts that TSIA (or any of TSIA’s representatives) intends to withhold from consideration payable to the holders of Company Common Stock hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Company to reduce or eliminate any such withholding. With respect to any withholding requirement arising out of a change in law or facts occurring after the date that is 10 days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide such prior notice described in the immediately preceding sentence as soon as possible. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by TSIA or the Surviving Company, as applicable, consistent with the terms of this Section 2.6, such withheld amounts (a) shall be timely remitted by TSIA or the Surviving Company, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by TSIA or the Surviving Company, as applicable.

2.7 Payment of Expenses.

No later than close of business on the third Business Day preceding the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to TSIA a statement describing (i) the allocation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration between the holders of Company Stock, taking into account the Preferred Stock Conversion, Convertible Notes Conversion and the Warrant Settlement, (ii) each holder and the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock constituting the Per Share Merger Consideration receivable by such holder of Company Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, taking into account the Preferred Stock Conversion, Convertible Notes Conversion and the Warrant Settlement, (iii) each Cash Elected Company Option that will be canceled in exchange for the Cash Election Consideration, (iv) each Assumed Option that will be outstanding as of the Closing, and, with respect to such Assumed Option, the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option and the exercise price of such Assumed Option, and (v) each Assumed RSU that will be outstanding as of the Closing, and, with respect to such Assumed RSU, the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed RSU (the “Ownership Allocation”). TSIA and Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely fully on the information in the Ownership Allocation in issuing the Per Share Merger Consideration, paying the Cash Election Consideration and converting the Company Options into the Assumed Options.

2.9 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Company Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the Company who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal or dissenters’ rights for such Company Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of appraisal rights, shall not be converted into, and such stockholders shall have no right to receive, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration unless and until such stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. Any Company Stockholder who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, if applicable, in the manner provided in Section 2.3(b), of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Stock.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give TSIA prompt notice (and in any event within one Business Day) of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and TSIA shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of TSIA, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend with a record date within such period shall have been declared, then the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to provide the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and TSIA the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event, and such items so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Per Share Merger Consideration. Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall be construed to permit the Parties to take any action except to the extent consistent with, and not otherwise prohibited by, the terms of this Agreement.

4.6 Absence of Certain Changes. Since TSIA’s incorporation (a) there has not been any change, occurrence or development in the financial condition, properties, assets, liabilities, business or results of operations or any

 

28


other change, occurrence or development which has had, or would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on TSIA or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of TSIA or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions and (b) TSIA has, in all material respects, conducted its business and operated its properties in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

(c) Except as set forth in TSIA’s Organizational Documents or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and the Transactions, there is no agreement, commitment, or Governmental Order binding upon TSIA or Merger Sub or to which TSIA or Merger Sub is a party which has or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or impairing any business practice of TSIA or Merger Sub or any acquisition of property by TSIA or Merger Sub or the conduct of business by TSIA or Merger Sub as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted as of the Closing, other than such effects, individually or in the aggregate, which have not been and would not reasonably be expected to be material to TSIA or Merger Sub.

(d) Except for this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the Transactions, TSIA has no material interests, rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to, and is not party to, bound by or has its assets or property subject to, in each case whether directly or indirectly, any Contract or transaction which is, or would reasonably be interpreted as constituting, a Business Combination. Except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the TSIA Trust Agreement, Merger Sub does not own or have a right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any interest or investment (whether equity or debt) in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, business, trust or other entity.

4.8 Litigation and Proceedings.

(a) There are no Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of TSIA, threatened against TSIA or any of its Subsidiaries except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on TSIA or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of TSIA to consummate the Transactions.

(b) Neither TSIA nor Merger Sub is a party to or subject to the provisions of any Governmental Order that restricts the manner in which TSIA or Merger Sub conducts its business, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on TSIA or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of TSIA or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions.

4.9 Compliance with Laws. Except where the failure to be, or to have been, in compliance with such Laws has not or would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on TSIA or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of TSIA or Merger Sub to consummate the

 

29


Transactions, the businesses of each of TSIA and Merger are not, and have not been since their respective incorporations, conducted in violation of any applicable Law. Neither TSIA nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or communication of any material noncompliance with any Laws that has not been cured as of the date of this Agreement.

4.10 Investment Company Act; JOBS Act. TSIA is not an “investment company” or a Person directly or indirectly “controlled” by or acting on behalf of an “investment company,” in each case within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. TSIA constitutes an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act.

4.11 TSIA Trust Account. As of the date of this Agreement, TSIA has approximately $300,000,000 in the account established by TSIA for the benefit of its stockholders at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “TSIA Trust Account”), such monies being invested in U.S. government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, having a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and held in trust pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2020, between TSIA and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “TSIA Trust Agreement”). The TSIA Trust Agreement is valid and in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms and has not been amended or modified. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other arrangements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the TSIA Trust Agreement in the TSIA Reports to be inaccurate or that would entitle any Person (other than any TSIA Stockholder who is a Redeeming Stockholder) to any portion of the proceeds in the TSIA Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the TSIA Trust Account may be released other than to pay Taxes and payments with respect to the redemption of any shares of TSIA Common Stock required by the Redemption Offer. There are no Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of TSIA, threatened with respect to the TSIA Trust Account. TSIA has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in default, breach or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the TSIA Trust Agreement, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach thereunder. As of the Effective Time, the obligations of TSIA to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to TSIA’s Organizational Documents shall terminate, and as of the Effective Time, TSIA shall have no obligation whatsoever pursuant to TSIA’s Organizational Documents to dissolve and liquidate the assets of TSIA by reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. To the Knowledge of TSIA, following the Effective Time, no TSIA Stockholder shall be entitled to receive any amount from the TSIA Trust Account except to the extent such TSIA Stockholder validly elects to redeem their shares of TSIA Common Stock in connection with the Redemption Offer. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder, neither TSIA or Merger Sub have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the TSIA Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the TSIA Trust Account will not be available to TSIA and Merger Sub on the Closing Date.

4.12 Private Placements. TSIA has made available to the Company true and correct copies of the Subscription Agreements. As of the date of this Agreement, the Subscription Agreements (a) are in full force and effect without amendment or modification, (b) are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of TSIA (or its applicable Affiliate) and, to the Knowledge of TSIA, each other party thereto (except, in any case, as may be limited by the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception) and (c) have not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect. The Private Placements, together with the amount in the TSIA Trust Account at the Closing, will be in the aggregate sufficient to enable TSIA to pay all cash amounts required to be paid by TSIA under or in connection with this Agreement, including the Outstanding Company Expenses and Outstanding TSIA Expenses. There are no other Contracts between TSIA and any Subscriber relating to any Subscription Agreement, that would reasonably be expected to affect the obligations of the Subscribers to contribute to TSIA the applicable portion of the Private Placements set forth in the Subscription Agreements, and, to the Knowledge of TSIA, no facts or circumstances exist that may reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any

 

30


Subscription Agreement not being satisfied, or the Private Placements not being available to TSIA, on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of TSIA under any material term or condition of any Subscription Agreement and, as of the date hereof, TSIA has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any term or condition of Closing to be satisfied by it contained in any Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent (other than the conditions contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents) to the obligations of the Subscribers to contribute to TSIA the applicable portion of the Private Placements set forth in the Subscription Agreements on the terms therein.

4.13 Valid Issuance. The shares of TSIA Common Stock issuable as Aggregate Merger Consideration, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be issued free and clear of any Liens (other than such Liens as created by TSIA’s Organizational Documents or applicable securities Laws) or any preemptive rights.

4.14 Takeover Statutes and Charter Provisions. Each of the board of directors of TSIA and Merger Sub has taken all action necessary so that the restrictions on a “business combination” (as such term is used in Section 203 of the DGCL) contained in Section 203 of the DGCL or any similar restrictions under any foreign Laws will be inapplicable to this Agreement and the Merger. As of the date of this Agreement, no “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other antitakeover Law or similar domestic or foreign Law applies with respect to TSIA or Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement or the Merger. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no stockholder rights plan, “poison pill” or similar antitakeover agreement or plan in effect to which TSIA or Merger Sub is subject, party or otherwise bound.

4.15 NASDAQ Stock Market Quotation. The issued and outstanding shares of TSIA Common Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on NASDAQ under the symbol “TSAI.” The TSIA Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on NASDAQ under the symbol “TSIAW”. TSIA is in compliance in all material respects with the rules of NASDAQ, and there is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of TSIA, threatened against TSIA by NASDAQ, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the TSIA Common Stock or terminate the listing of TSIA Common Stock on NASDAQ. None of TSIA or its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the TSIA Common Stock or TSIA Warrants under the Exchange Act except as contemplated by this Agreement.

4.16 Brokers and Finders. Neither TSIA nor Merger Sub, nor any of their respective directors or employees (including any officers), as applicable, has employed any investment banker, broker or finder or has incurred or will incur any obligation or liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finders fees or other similar payments in connection with the Transactions, except that TSIA has employed BofA Securities, Inc. and Allen & Company LLC as its financial advisors in connection with the Transactions.

4.17 Registration Statement and Proxy Statement. On the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement, and when first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and/or filed pursuant to Section 14A, the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), shall comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. On the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and/or Section 14A, the date the Proxy Statement, as applicable, is first mailed to the TSIA Stockholders, and at the time of the Special Meeting, the Proxy Statement, as applicable (together with any amendments or supplements thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that TSIA makes no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to TSIA by or on behalf of the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement.

10.11 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision to be negotiated by the Parties, each acting reasonably and in good faith shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be legal, valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such legal, invalid or unenforceable provision, and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability affect the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

10.12 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties (and any of their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns).

(h) The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (i) the date that is the one-year anniversary of the closing date of the Business Combination and (ii) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) the date on which the last reported sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20-trading days within any 30- trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the closing date of the Business Combination or (y) the date on which TSIA completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of TSIA’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).

 

  b)

The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or any share of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants), until 30 days after the closing date of the Business Combination (the “Private Placement Warrants Lock-Up Period” and, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up Periods”).

 

  c)

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraph 3(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 3(c)), are permitted (a) to TSIA’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of TSIA’s officers or directors, any affiliate or member of the Sponsor or to any of their employees, officers and directors or any family members or affiliates of any of the foregoing; (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of such individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary

4.

Vesting Provisions. The Sponsor agrees that, as of immediately prior to (but subject to) the Closing, all of the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor as of the Closing shall be subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in this paragraph 4. The Sponsor agrees that it shall not (and will cause its Affiliates not to) Transfer any unvested Founder Shares held by the Sponsor prior to the date such Founder Shares become vested pursuant to this paragraph 4, except to the extent permitted by paragraph 3(c). For the avoidance of doubt, the Founder Shares beneficially owned by the individual Insiders other than the Sponsor shall not be subject to vesting or forfeiture.

 

  a)

Vesting of Founder Shares.

 

  i)

Vesting of Shares at Closing. 90% of the Founder Shares Beneficially Owned by the Sponsor as of the Closing shall vest at Closing.

 

  ii)

Performance Vesting of Shares following the Closing. 10% of the Founder Shares Beneficially Owned by the Sponsor as of the Closing shall vest at such time as the Stock Price Level is achieved on or before the five year anniversary of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Stock Price Level is not achieved on or prior to the five year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Founder Shares that were eligible to vest pursuant to this paragraph 4(a)(ii) shall not vest and shall be forfeited as provided in paragraph 4(b).

 

  b)

Forfeiture of Unvested Founder Shares. Unvested Founder Shares that are forfeited pursuant to paragraph 4(a)(ii) shall be transferred by the Sponsor to TSIA, without any consideration for such Transfer.

 

  c)

Stock Price Level. For purposes of this paragraph 4, the “Stock Price Level” will be considered achieved only (a) the date on which the VWAP of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market equals or exceeds $14.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period or (b) in a TSIA Sale, the price paid per share of Common Stock in such TSIA Sale is greater than or equal to $14.00. The Stock Price Level will be equitably adjusted as applicable pursuant to paragraph 4(e).

 

  d)

TSIA Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event TSIA enters into a binding agreement with respect to a TSIA Sale on or before the five year anniversary of the Closing Date, all unvested Founder Shares Beneficially Owned by the Sponsor shall vest on the day prior to the closing of such TSIA Sale if the price paid per share of Common Stock in such TSIA Sale meets or exceeds the Stock Price Level (to the extent the price paid per share includes contingent consideration or property other than cash, the disinterested members of the TSIA Board shall determine the price paid per share of Common Stock in such TSIA Sale in good faith); provided, that in the event the price paid per share of Common Stock in such TSIA Sale does not meet or exceed the Stock Price Level, such unvested Founder Shares shall be deemed cancelled without any consideration on the day prior to the closing of such TSIA Sale. For avoidance of doubt, following a transaction or business combination that is not a “TSIA Sale” hereunder, including a transaction or business combination in which the equity securities of the surviving entity of such business combination or other transaction are registered under the Exchange Act and listed or quoted for trading on a national securities exchange, any unvested Founder Shares shall remain subject to vesting pursuant to paragraph 4(a)(ii) (after giving effect to the equitable adjustment provisions of paragraph 4(e), including, without limitation, to the performance vesting criteria set forth in this paragraph 4).

  e)

If TSIA shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, effect a subdivision, stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification with respect to the Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants, or there occur changes in the Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants as a result of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or business combination involving TSIA, or by any other similar means, then, in each case, equitable adjustment shall be made to the provisions of this Sponsor Agreement as may be required so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to TSIA, TSIA’s successor or the surviving entity of such transaction, the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants, each as so changed.

 

5.

Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending at the earlier of the Effective Time or termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, Sponsor and each Insider shall not modify or amend any Contract between or among Sponsor or such Insider, anyone related by blood, marriage or adoption to Sponsor or such Insider or any Affiliate of Sponsor or such Insider (other than TSIA and its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and TSIA or any of TSIA’s Subsidiaries, on the other hand, that would contradict, limit, restrict or impair (x) any party’s ability to perform or satisfy any obligation under this Sponsor Agreement or (y) the Company’s or TSIA’s ability to perform or satisfy any obligation under the Merger Agreement.

(e) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Transactions will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the Governing Documents of such Stockholder (if such Stockholder is not a natural person), (ii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) of or a default under, the loss of any benefit under, the creation, modification or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of a Lien on any of the properties, rights or assets of such Stockholder pursuant to any Contract binding upon such Stockholder or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), compliance with the matters referred to in Section 7(d), under any applicable Law to which such

16. No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in TSIA any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Covered Shares of the Stockholder. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Covered Shares of the Stockholder shall remain vested in and belong to the Stockholder, and TSIA shall have no authority to direct the Stockholder in the voting or disposition of any of the Stockholder’s Covered Shares, except as otherwise provided herein (including pursuant to Section 4 hereto).

17. Entire Agreement; Time of Effectiveness. This Agreement and the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement shall not be effective or binding upon the Stockholder until after such time as the Merger Agreement is executed and delivered by the Company, TSIA and Merger Sub.

18. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Stockholder hereby agrees that its representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of TSIA in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, and the Parties hereby further agree that this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against, the Persons expressly named as Parties; provided that the Company shall be an express third party beneficiary with respect to Section 8 and Section 9.

19. Governing Law and Venue; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflicts of laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable and would require or permit the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

 

10


(b) In addition, each of the Parties (i) consents to submit itself, and hereby submits itself, to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction, in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and agrees not to plead or claim any objection to the laying of venue in any such court or that any judicial proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction, and (iv) consents to service of process being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 15.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

20. Assignment; Successors. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall (a) be assigned by any of the Stockholders in whole or in part (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of TSIA and the Company or (b) be assigned by TSIA or the Company in whole or in part (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of (i) the Company or TSIA, respectively, and (ii) the applicable Stockholder. Any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

21. Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Stockholder acknowledges that the TSIA has established the trust account described therein (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the TSIA’s public shareholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). Accordingly, the Stockholder (on behalf of itself and its affiliates) hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account and the TSIA to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by the TSIA or any of its affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, for any knowing and intentional material breach by any of the parties to this Agreement of any of its representations or warranties as set forth in this Agreement, or such party’s material breach of any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which material breach constitutes, or is a consequence of, a purposeful act or failure to act by such party with the knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a material breach of this Agreement. This Section 21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

 

11


22. Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or affiliate of any named party to this Agreement and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the TSIA or the Stockholder under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

23. Enforcement. The rights and remedies of the Parties shall be cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this 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 or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including each Stockholder’s obligations to vote its Covered Shares as provided in this Agreement, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction over such matter is vested in the federal courts, any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware, without proof of actual damages or otherwise (and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

24. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, are not affected in a manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other Parties. Signatures delivered electronically or by facsimile shall be deemed to be original signatures.

27. Capacity as a Stockholder or Proxy holder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Stockholder or proxy holder signs this Agreement solely in the Stockholder’s or proxy holder’s capacity as a stockholder or proxy holder of the Company, and not in any other capacity and this Agreement shall not limit, prevent or otherwise affect the actions of the Stockholder, proxy holder or any Affiliate or Representative of the Stockholder or proxyholder, or any of their respective Affiliates in his or her capacity, if applicable, as an officer or director of the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company) or any other Person, including in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. No Stockholder shall be liable or responsible for any breach, default, or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by any other Stockholder that is also a Party and each Stockholder shall solely be required to perform its obligations hereunder in its individual capacity.

4


individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken together as a whole (on a consolidated basis) or (ii) the validity of the Subscribed Shares or the Company’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares.

b. As of the Closing Date, the Subscribed Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to Subscriber against full payment therefor, will be free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those specified hereunder) in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement and registered with the Company’s transfer agent, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of any preemptive rights, whether created under the Company’s organizational documents (as adopted on or prior to the Closing Date) or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or otherwise.

c. This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by Subscriber, this Subscription Agreement shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.

d. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber in this Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, (i) the organizational documents of the Company; (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

e. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization (including Nasdaq) or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Subscribed Shares), other than (i) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (ii) the filing of the Registration Statement (as defined below) pursuant to Section 6, (iii) the filing, if required, of a Notice

As of their respective dates, all reports, statements, schedules, prospectuses, proxy statements, registration statements and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC prior to the date of this Subscription Agreement (the “SEC Reports”) complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has timely filed each SEC Report since its initial registration of the Class A Shares with the SEC. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments.

The Company has taken no action that is designed to terminate or expected to result in the termination of the registration of the Class A Shares under the Exchange Act.

j.

c. The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the purchase of the Subscribed Shares and the compliance by Subscriber with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (i) the organizational documents of Subscriber; (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Subscriber is a party or by which Subscriber is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Subscriber is subject; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Subscriber or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), would reasonably, individually or in the aggregate, be expected to have a Subscriber Material Adverse Effect.

Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Subscribed Shares.

e. Subscriber understands that the Subscribed Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Subscribed Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law in reliance on the availability of an exemption from such registration. Subscriber understands that the Subscribed Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof, or (ii) pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, in each of cases (i) and (ii), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates or book entries representing the Subscribed Shares shall contain a legend to such effect. Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscribed Shares will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, absent a change in law or receipt of regulatory no-action relief or exemption. Subscriber understands and agrees that the Subscribed Shares will be subject to the foregoing restrictions and, as a result, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Subscribed Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Subscribed Shares for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Subscribed Shares.

f. Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Subscribed Shares directly from the Company. Subscriber further acknowledges that there have not been, and Subscriber hereby agrees that it is not relying on, any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made to Subscriber by the Company, Latch, the Placement Agents (as defined below), any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives, any other party to the Transactions or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those

 

9


representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement, and Subscriber expressly disclaims any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements not expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement. In particular, without limiting the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that certain information provided by the Company was based on projections, forecasts, estimates, budgets or other prospective information, and such information is based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections, and neither the Company nor any other person, including the Placement Agents, makes any representation relating to any such information.

g. In making its decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares, Subscriber has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received such information as Subscriber deems necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Subscribed Shares, including with respect to the Company, Latch and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Acquired Companies”) and the Transactions. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that neither BofA Securities, Inc., Allen & Co. or Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, acting as placement agents to the Company (each, a “Placement Agent” and, collectively, the “Placement Agents”), nor any affiliate or control person, officer, director or employee of any Placement Agent, has provided Subscriber with any information or advice with respect to the Subscribed Shares nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. The Placement Agents have not made and do not make any representation as to the Company or the Acquired Companies or the quality or value of the Subscribed Shares and the Placement Agents may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company or the Acquired Companies which Subscriber agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance of the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber, the Placement Agents have not acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to Subscriber. Subscriber further acknowledges that Subscriber is aware that Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is acting as a Placement Agent for the Company and as financial advisor to Latch in connection with the Transactions. For the avoidance of the doubt, Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by the Placement Agents in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.

h. Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber and the Company or by means of contact from the Placement Agents, Latch and/or their respective agents, control persons, representatives, affiliates, directors, officers, managers, members, and/or employees, and/or the representatives of such persons (such parties referred to collectively as “Representatives”). The Subscribed Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between

 

10


Subscriber and the Company, the Placement Agents, Latch and/or their respective Representatives. Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares, nor were the Subscribed Shares offered to Subscriber, by any other means and none of the Company, the Placement Agents, Latch or their respective Representatives acted as investment advisor, broker or dealer to Subscriber. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company represents and warrants that the Subscribed Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

i. Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber is a sophisticated institutional investor and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, and in investing in private placement securities, as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares. At the time of making its investment decision, Subscriber has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Company and its subsidiaries as Subscriber deemed necessary or desirable in making a decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares, including an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from officers of the Company and to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to Subscriber or to which Subscriber had access. Subscriber has independently made its own analysis and decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares and determined based on its own independent review, and such professional advice from its own advisors (including as to tax, legal and accounting matters) as Subscriber may deem appropriate, that its purchase of the Subscribed Shares (i) is consistent with Subscriber’s financial needs, objectives and condition, (ii) complies with all investment policies, guidelines and other restrictions that are applicable to Subscriber, (iii) does not and will not violate any law, rule, regulation, agreement or other obligation to which Subscriber is bound (assuming the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein), and (iv) is a fit, proper and suitable investment for Subscriber, notwithstanding the risks associated with a purchase of the Subscribed Shares.

j. Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares and determined that the Subscribed Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Company. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

k. Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Subscribed Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

l. Subscriber is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank.

Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. Subscriber further represents and warrants that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Subscribed Shares were legally derived.

m. As of the date hereof Subscriber does not have, and during the thirty (30) day period immediately prior to the date hereof Subscriber has not entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or short sale positions with respect to the securities of the Company.

n.

o. Subscriber is not a foreign person (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.224) in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) that will acquire a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) in the Company as a result of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder.

If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to

 

12


the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, Subscriber represents and warrants that, to its knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”) has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Subscribed Shares, and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Subscribed Shares.

q. Subscriber has, and at the Closing will have sufficient funds available to it to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2(b).

r. No broker, finder, or other financial consultant has acted on behalf of or at the direction of Subscriber in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any liability on the Company, Latch or any of their respective subsidiaries.

s. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the certificate or book-entry position representing the Subscribed Shares will bear or reflect, as applicable, a legend substantially similar to the following:

“THIS SECURITY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AGREES THAT THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) PURSUANT TO ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, (II) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (III) TO THE COMPANY, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (III) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES.”

t. Subscriber agrees that, notwithstanding Section 9(n), the Placement Agents may rely upon the representations and warranties made by Subscriber to the Company in this Subscription Agreement.

u. Without limitation of the foregoing, Subscriber hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Placement Agents are acting solely as placement agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and are not acting as an underwriter, initial purchaser, dealer or in any other such capacity and are not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary for Subscriber, the Company or any other person or entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (ii) the Placement Agents have not made and will not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character and have not provided any advice or recommendation in connection with the transactions

 

13


contemplated hereby, (iii) the Placement Agents will have no responsibility with respect to (A) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) of any thereof, or (B) the financial condition, business, or any other matter concerning the Company or the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) the Placement Agents shall have no liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by Subscriber, the Company or any other person or entity), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to Subscriber, or to any person claiming through Subscriber, in respect of the Transactions.

6. Registration of Subscribed Shares.

a. In the event that the Subscribed Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, the Company agrees that the Company will file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (including the prospectus included in such registration statement, amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registration statement, and all exhibits to and all material incorporated by reference in such registration statement, the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Subscribed Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Subscribed Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations; provided further that Subscriber shall not, in connection with the foregoing, be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Subscribed Shares. With respect to the information to be provided by Subscriber pursuant to this Section 6(a), the Company shall request such information from Subscriber at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement and the Subscriber shall provide such requested information to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement. For purposes of this Section 6, “Subscribed Shares” shall include the

 

14


Subscribed Shares acquired pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the Subscribed Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 6.

b. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. Except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, at its expense, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, and to keep the Registration Statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Subscribed Shares may be resold without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(2) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), (ii) the date on which such Subscribed Shares have actually been sold and (iii) the date which is three (3) years from the date the initial Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 6 is declared effective. At its expense, the Company shall:

(i) advise Subscriber within five (5) Business Days (A) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (B) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (C) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Subscribed Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (D) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus included therein so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (A) through (D) above may be deemed to constitute material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;

 

15


(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iii) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Subscribed Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(iv) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Subscribed Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Class A Shares issued by the Company have been listed;

(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts (A) to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares contemplated hereby and (B) with a view to making available to Subscriber the benefits of Rule 144 or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may permit Subscriber to sell the Subscribed Shares to the public without registration, for so long as the Subscriber holds the Subscribed Shares, to (I) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (II) file all reports and other materials required to be filed by the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144, and (III) furnish to Subscriber, promptly upon request, (x) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and (y) such other information as may reasonably be requested to enable Subscriber to sell the Subscribed Shares under Rule 144 without registration; and

(vi) if the Subscribed Shares are either eligible to be sold (A) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or (B) without restriction under, and without the Company being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144, then at the Subscriber’s request, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to remove any remaining restrictive legend set forth on such Shares. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained

 

16


with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such shares without any such legend; provided, that Subscriber shall promptly provide such representation letters as may be reasonably requested by the Company’s counsel in support of such opinion.

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require any Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, (i) if any information (e.g., compensation data) is not readily available and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, (ii) at any time the Company is required to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and the SEC has not declared such amendment effective or (iii) if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve (12) month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain material non-public information and shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, each Subscriber agrees that it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales (which notice shall not contain material non-public information and shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality). If so directed by the Company, each Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation

 

17


to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

d. The Company shall, notwithstanding the termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its officers, directors, employees, members, managers, partners, advisers and agents, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, employees, advisers and agents of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, that such untrue statements or alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection with any sale pursuant to the Registration Statement.

e. The Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of any Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

18


f. Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of the indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

g. If the indemnification provided under this Section 6 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6 and deemed to include any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 6(f) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 6(f) shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of Subscriber hereunder exceed the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

19


7. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of the Company and the Subscriber to terminate this Subscription Agreement, and (c) if the consummation of the Transactions shall not have occurred by July 31, 2021; 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 such breach. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Merger Agreement promptly after the termination thereof.

8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title, interest or 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 assets held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse or make or bring any action, suit, claim or other proceeding against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in respect of Common Stock of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

9. Miscellaneous.

a. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder shall be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly given (i) when delivered personally to the recipient, (ii) when sent by electronic mail, on the date of transmission to such recipient; provided, that such notice, request, demand, claim or other communication is also sent to the recipient pursuant to clauses (i), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 9(a), (iii) one (1) Business Day after being sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid), or (iv) four (4) Business Days after being mailed to the recipient by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, and, in each case, addressed to the intended recipient at its address specified on the signature page hereof or to such electronic mail address or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Section 9(a).

 

20

d. Subscriber shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

e. Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not, nor will any person acting at the Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any understanding with the Subscriber, directly or indirectly offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option, engage in hedging activities or execute any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (“Short Sales”), of the Subscribed Shares until the consummation of the Transactions (or such earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9(e) shall not apply to (i) any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Company (A) held by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (B) purchased by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates in an open market transaction after the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (ii) ordinary course, non-speculative hedging transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management or control with Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in the Subscription (including the Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle in which separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber’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 Subscribed Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that if any other portfolio manager is aware of the investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement, the representation set forth above shall also apply to with respect to the portion of assets managed such portfolio manager.

 

21


f. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Subscribed Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Company hereunder may be transferred or assigned (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may transfer the Subscription Agreement and its rights hereunder in connection with the Transactions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Subscriber or to an affiliate thereof without the prior consent of the Company, provided that (x) prior to such assignment, any such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms hereof and(y) no such assignment shall relieve Subscriber of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.

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

h. The Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may deem reasonably necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures, provided that the Company agrees to keep any such information confidential.

i. This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, waiver or termination is sought.

Except as provided in Section 6(d), Section 6(e), Section 6(f), Section 6(g) and Section 9(n), this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

k. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto 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.

l. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall 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.

 

22


m. This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered 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.

n. This Subscription Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person; provided, however, that the Placement Agents shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 4 and of the Subscribers in Section 5.

o. The parties hereto 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 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

p. This Subscription Agreement and all disputes, legal actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

q. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OR RELATED TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER SUCH PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.

 

23


r. The parties agree that all disputes, legal actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement must be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware or, in the event each federal court within the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state court within the State of Delaware) (collectively, the “Designated Courts”). Each party hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts. No legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to this Subscription Agreement may be brought in any other forum. Each party hereby irrevocably waives all claims of immunity from jurisdiction and any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in any Designated Court, including any right to object on the basis that any dispute, action, suit or proceeding brought in the Designated Courts has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum or venue. Each of the parties also agrees that delivery of any process, summons, notice or document to a party hereof in compliance with Section 9(a) shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in a Designated Court with respect to any matters to which the parties have submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above.

NEW YORK, N.Y. — January 25, 2021 — Latch, Inc. (“Latch” or the “Company”), maker of the full-building enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform LatchOS, and TS Innovation Acquisitions Corp. (NASDAQ: TSIAU) (“TSIA”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company launched by leading real estate owner, developer, operator and investment manager Tishman Speyer Properties, L.P. (“Tishman Speyer”), today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement that will result in Latch becoming a publicly listed company. The transaction values the Company at an equity value of $1.56 billion post-money. Upon closing, Latch’s common stock is expected to trade on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “LTCH”.

Founded in 2014, Latch is an enterprise SaaS provider to buildings and residents that makes spaces better places to live, work and visit. From the beginning, Latch has worked hand-in-hand with many of the country’s largest real estate owners as partners and investors including Tishman Speyer, Brookfield, and more. The Company has booked over 300,000 units across more than 35 states, with one in ten new multifamily apartments in the United States built with Latch in 2019.

The Company’s proven management team, led by co-founder and CEO Luke Schoenfelder, will continue to operate and manage Latch following the transaction. Rob Speyer, President and CEO of Tishman Speyer and CEO and Chairman of TSIA, will join the Company’s Board of Directors upon completion of the transaction.

“Latch has successfully created an entire ecosystem around our full building operating system, devices, and partners that enhances the building experience for both owners and residents,” said Schoenfelder. “This transaction provides the capital for Latch to accelerate our product and market expansion and drive bookings growth. Furthermore, Latch will be able to harness Tishman Speyer’s global real estate platform to more rapidly create new products, leveraging their vertically integrated real estate business and on-the-ground teams across the globe. We are fortunate to benefit from Rob’s vision and leadership and look forward to partnering with the entire Tishman Speyer team as we create value for our shareholders, customers, and residents by scaling our business in this next phase while we continue to enhance the way people interact with their spaces.”

“As a long-time real estate and capital markets investor, Tishman Speyer has helped accelerate many of the prop tech innovations reshaping our cities,” said Speyer. “We launched our SPAC knowing that our expertise and portfolio could power the next generation of innovators on the public stage. Our mission has been to partner with a growing company; one with a great team, a strong and differentiated business model and the ability to scale quickly through our platform. As both a customer and early investor in Latch, I know Luke and his talented team check all of these boxes. We look forward to serving as an incubator, operational partner and launch customer as Latch develops and expands its exceptional product lines.”

Technology Partner and Operating System for Modern Buildings

LatchOS is the first multifamily operating system that brings together all the elements that make up the modern building for building managers, residents, and service providers. Its core capabilities are designed to unify operations for everyone, and building owners have the flexibility to select the specific capabilities they need to meet their needs.

LatchOS provides:

 

   

Smart Access – The Latch smart access platform includes the Latch M, C, and R Series of digital entry devices that work for each space in a multi-family building, supporting residents, staff, and guests at building entrances, common areas, garages, elevators, and individual apartments.

 

   

Delivery and Guest Management – Latch’s guest management capabilities enable unattended deliveries, package management, and guest reception through the Latch Intercom and Latch Delivery Assistant.

 

   

Smart Home and Sensors – The enterprise device management capabilities of LatchOS integrate smart home and sensor control that work with Latch partners, such as Google Nest, ecobee, Honeywell, and Jasco, enabling management and control over thermostats, lighting and leak detectors, and more.

 

   

Connectivity – Latch enables cellular connectivity through the Latch Intercom and Latch Hub, which bring internet access to new and existing building infrastructure, connecting devices for both new and retrofit customers in more flexible ways.

 

   

Resident Experience – Latch’s mobile interface provides a seamless resident experience and community management capabilities, including resident onboarding, with the average Latch app user interacting with the app 4.6x per day.

With LatchOS, the Company is defining the building operating system category with a unique platform and a highly attractive financial operating profile:

 

   

Deep relationships with many of the country’s largest residential real estate owners including seven of the ten largest NMHC developers, alongside other large NMHC developers like Alliance, Avalon Bay, Greystar, and NRP Group, plus AMLI Residential, Prometheus, RXR Realty, Toll Brothers, and beyond;

 

   

A rapidly growing recurring enterprise software revenue model;

 

   

Highly sticky customer relationships with building owners and residents;

 

   

Long-term, pre-paid enterprise software agreements with high switching cost;

 

   

Capital efficient customer acquisition and clear upsell opportunities; and

 

   

Visibility to sustained Average Revenue per Home Unit (ARPHU) expansion with new and existing customers.

Latch is well-positioned to drive growth through:

 

   

Extensive opportunities to sell deeper into new and existing customer portfolios;

 

   

Further expansion into an enormous and underpenetrated $54 billion TAM through both new project construction and retrofit opportunities;

 

   

Further expansion of ARPHU by delighting customers with new offerings like Intercom, Smart Home, and more, all accessible through the trusted LatchOS interface; and

 

   

The opportunity for further disruptive consumer SaaS/internet businesses on top of the LatchOS enterprise channel.

The Company has generated strong results to date, including $167 million in Booked Revenue1 in 2020, which represents 49 percent growth from 2019; zero customer churn leading to 100 percent Gross Revenue Retention2; and a strong SaaS company Lifetime Value (LTV) to Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC) ratio of 6.8x3.

Partnership to Drive Growth and Accelerate Latch’s Expansion

The market for an apartment building operating system is massive, with an estimated 47 million rental homes in the United States representing an approximately $54 billion total annual market. Latch currently services less than one percent of this market and is well-positioned to drive continued growth. Partnering with TSIA will bring together Latch’s leading software and products with the global real estate platform of Tishman Speyer, the parent of TSIA’s sponsor. With an international portfolio encompassing nearly 80 million square feet of first-class real estate across many asset classes, including residential, commercial office, mixed use and life sciences, among others, Tishman Speyer will deliver synergies to Latch to further its growth and product expansion.

Transaction Overview

Upon completion of the transaction, Latch expects to have up to $510 million in cash, net of fees and expenses to fund growth initiatives, including growing the number of units on its platform, expanding to additional asset classes and spreading to new geographies.

This includes net proceeds from TSIA’s cash held in trust of $300 million from its initial public offering in November 2020 and approximately $60 million of cash on Latch’s balance sheet. The transaction is further supported by a $190 million PIPE at $10.00 per share from key investors, including funds and accounts managed by BlackRock, D1 Capital Partners, Durable Capital Partners LP, Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC, Chamath Palihapitiya, The Spruce House Partnership, Wellington Management, ArrowMark Partners, Avenir and Lux Capital. Latch’s existing equity holders have agreed to convert 100 percent of their ownership stakes into the new company, and are expected to own 64 percent of the pro forma company at close.

The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by TSIA’s board of directors, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, and is subject to approval by TSIA’s shareholders and other customary closing conditions, including any applicable regulatory approvals.

Additional information about the proposed transaction, including a copy of the merger agreement and investor presentation, will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by TSIA today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and available at www.sec.gov.
