On November 14, 2021, the parties entered into an amendment to the Existing Forward Purchase Agreement (the “Second Amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, KLP increased its binding forward purchase commitment (the “Backstop”), subject to cutback, from $23 million to up to $73 million and removed any optional element to the Backstop. The Backstop is subject to certain reductions if gross transaction proceeds exceed each of $175 million and $250 million, respectively. KLP is permitted to offer participants in the private placement that is to be consummated in connection with the business combination (the “Subscribers”) the opportunity to participate in the Backstop in an amount up to $23 million and subject to cutback if proceeds exceed $175 million. As consideration for committing to fund the Backstop, THMA and Pear have agreed to release the Earn-Out Shares and Earn-Out Warrants (each as defined below from certain earn-out conditions in connection with the business combination, with such a certain number of such securities being transferred to each Subscriber that participates in the Backstop.

On November 14, 2021, the parties entered into an amendment to the Existing Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Amendment to the Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor’s Earn-Out Shares and Earn-Out Warrants shall no longer be subject to vesting conditions, in each case as consideration for the Sponsor agreeing to enter into the Backstop described above.

On November 14, 2021, the parties entered into a letter agreement providing for certain waivers, consents and additional agreements under the Business Combination Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Pear agreed to waive the Minimum Cash Condition in connection with the Merger and each party to the Business Combination Agreement agreed to waive compliance with any matters under the Business Combination Agreement in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Second Amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Amendment to the Sponsor Support Agreement and the Letter Agreement (the “Relevant Agreements”).

Additional Information and Where to Find It

This Current Report relates to a proposed transaction between Pear and THMA. This Current Report 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. In connection with the proposed transaction, THMA filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-257982) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which included a proxy statement of THMA and a prospectus of THMA. The registration statement on Form S-4, as amended, was declared effective by the SEC on October 26, 2021, and THMA commenced mailing of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to its shareholders on or about October 29, 2021.

Participants in Solicitation

CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION

Thimble Point and Pear Therapeutics Announce Additional $50 million in Committed Capital to Fund Business Plan

Increases minimum gross proceeds from PIPE and Sponsor to $175 million

Removes minimum cash as a condition to the closing of the business combination

PIPE Investors have agreed to lock-up 82.4% of the PIPE shares

BOSTON – November 15, 2021 – Today, Thimble Point Acquisition Corp, Inc. (NASDAQ: THMA) (“Thimble Point”), a special purpose acquisition company, Pear Therapeutics, Inc. (“Pear”), the leader in developing and commercializing software to treat serious disease, called prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs), and an affiliate of Thimble Point’s sponsor, jointly announced an additional commitment from an affiliate of Thimble Point’s sponsor of up to $50 million.

Such commitment is in addition to the $23 million commitment that the affiliate of Thimble Point’s sponsor made as part of the private placement that is to be consummated in connection with the business combination (the “PIPE”). Together, the minimum gross amounts from the PIPE and by the affiliate of Thimble Point’s sponsor are expected to be $175 million. In connection with the revised definitive agreements, Pear has agreed to waive the requirement that total cash proceeds equal or exceed $200 million.

“Thimble Point’s mandate was to find a highly disruptive technology based company. We are thrilled to have found Pear, a company that is at the intersection of healthcare and technology and that could disrupt healthcare with cutting edge technology,” said Elon Boms, President and CEO of Thimble Point. “Pear is the perfect fit for us because its PDTs already are changing healthcare in the U.S., and Pear’s landmark payer decisions in 2021 with both government and commercial payers give us great confidence that PDTs will become mainstream medicine sooner than we expected when we approached Pear earlier this year. Thimble Point is proud to launch Pear as a well-funded public company.”

Under the terms of the revised definitive agreements, the affiliate of Thimble Point’s sponsor has agreed to fund the greater of (i) $27 million and (ii) the amount required to cause total gross proceeds from the PIPE, the commitments of Thimble Point’s sponsor and Thimble Point’s trust account to equal $175 million, subject to certain reductions if the total gross proceeds exceed $250 million. In consideration for the additional backstop funding from the affiliate of Thimble Point’s sponsor, Pear and Thimble Point have agreed to release certain shares and warrants held by the Sponsor from certain earn-out conditions in connection with the business combination. The affiliate of Thimble Point’s sponsor is also permitted to offer participants in the PIPE the opportunity to take part in the additional backstop funding for the transfer of certain shares and warrants held by the Sponsor in connection with such participation.

Additionally, today, Pear also announced that it had secured six-month lock-up agreements covering approximately 82.4% of the shares to be issued in connection with the previously announced $125 million PIPE, in each case subject to customary exceptions. No compensation was paid in connection with the entry into of such lock-up agreements.

“Pear is grateful for the support we have received from our PIPE investors and Thimble Point since we began raising the PIPE,” said Corey McCann, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of Pear. “Our PIPE investors showed their belief in Pear’s promise when we up-sized the PIPE and did so again when they signed the lock up agreements.”

In light of the revised definitive agreements, Thimble Point also announced today that it expects that the special meeting of Thimble Point stockholders to vote on the combination with Pear (the “Special Meeting”), originally scheduled for Tuesday, November 23, 2021, will be adjourned to Tuesday, November 30, 2021.
