INTRODUCTORY NOTE

 

On December 23, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Porch Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as PropTech Acquisition Corporation) (prior to the Effective Time (as defined below), “PTAC” and after the Effective Time, the “Company”), consummated the previously-announced merger (the “Closing”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 30, 2020 (as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 12, 2020, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among PTAC, PTAC Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of PTAC (“Merger Sub”), Porch.com, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Porch”), and Joe Hanauer, in his capacity as the representative of all Pre-Closing Holders (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Porch was effected on December 23, 2020 through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Porch, with Porch surviving as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all issued and outstanding shares of Porch preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Porch Preferred Stock”), were converted into shares of Porch common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Porch Common Stock”) in accordance with Porch’s fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation. At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Porch Common Stock, including Porch Common Stock held by prior owners of Porch Preferred Stock (other than shares owned by Porch as treasury stock, dissenting shares and restricted shares) and each outstanding Porch warrant that had an exercise price that was lower than the value of the portion of the merger consideration that would otherwise be issuable in respect thereof (the “In-The-Money Warrants”) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a pro rata portion of (i) cash consideration of $30 million and (ii) approximately 36.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Additionally, holders of the outstanding shares of Porch Common Stock (other than shares owned by Porch as treasury stock, dissenting shares and restricted shares), the In-The-Money Warrants, and the outstanding options, restricted stock units and unvested restricted shares of Porch received on a pro rata basis a portion of 5,000,000 restricted shares of Common Stock (“Earnout Shares”) that will vest upon the achievement of certain earnout thresholds prior to the third anniversary of the Closing.

 

The material provisions of the Merger Agreement are described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 3, 2020 (as amended, the “Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus”) in the section titled “The Merger Agreement” beginning on page 167, which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

On July 30, 2020, a number of purchasers (each, a “Subscriber”) purchased from the Company an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of PTAC Class A Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $150,000,000, pursuant to separate subscription agreements entered into effective as of July 30, 2020 and subsequently amended on October 12, 2020 (each as amended, a “Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company gave certain registration rights to the Subscribers with respect to the PIPE Shares. The sale of the PIPE Shares was consummated concurrently with the Closing.

 

A description of the Subscription Agreements is included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus in the section entitled “Other Agreements—Subscription Agreements” beginning on page 182, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

Change of the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On December 23, 2020, after the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, the Board approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. EY served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Porch prior to the Merger. Accordingly, WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Merger, was informed that it would be replaced by EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Withum’s report of independent registered public accounting firm, dated March 18, 2020, on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from July 31, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

   

During the period from July 31, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 and the subsequent period through December 23, 2020, there were no: (i) disagreements with Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or audited scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to Withum’s satisfaction would have caused Withum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report or (ii) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

8

 

 

During the period from July 31, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019 and the interim period through December 23, 2020, the Company did not consult EY with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by EY that EY concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

 

The Company has provided Withum with a copy of the disclosures made by the Company in response to this Item 4.01 and has requested that Withum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the registrant in response to this Item 304(a) and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A letter from Withum is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 5.06 Change in Shell Company Status

 

As a result of the Merger, which fulfilled the definition of a business combination as required by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, dated July 31, 2019, and as amended on November 21, 2019, the Company ceased to be a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) as of the Closing Date.

Warrant Certificate

 

This Warrant Certificate certifies that , or registered assigns, is the registered holder of warrant(s) evidenced hereby (the “Warrants” and each, a “Warrant”) to purchase shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Porch Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder, upon exercise during the period set forth in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, to receive from the Company that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as set forth below, at the exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) as determined pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, payable in lawful money (or through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) of the United States of America upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price at the office or agency of the Warrant Agent referred to below, subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.

 

Each whole Warrant is initially exercisable for one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of any Warrant. If, upon the exercise of Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

 

The initial Exercise Price per share of Common Stock for any Warrant is equal to $11.50 per whole share. The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

 

Subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised only during the Exercise Period and to the extent not exercised by the end of such Exercise Period, such Warrants shall become void.

 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Warrant Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

 

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by the Warrant Agent, as such term is used in the Warrant Agreement.

 

This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

[Form of Warrant Certificate]

[Reverse]

 

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants entitling the holder on exercise to receive shares of Common Stock and are issued or to be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of November 21, 2019 (the “Warrant Agreement”), duly executed and delivered by the Company to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders (the words “holders” or “holder” meaning the Registered Holders or Registered Holder, respectively) of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.

 

Warrants may be exercised at any time during the Exercise Period set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of election to purchase set forth hereon properly completed and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price as specified in the Warrant Agreement (or through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent. In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his, her or its assignee, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised.

 

Notwithstanding anything else in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, no Warrant may be exercised unless at the time of exercise (i) a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise is effective under the Securities Act and (ii) a prospectus thereunder relating to the shares of Common Stock is current, except through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement.

 

The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. If, upon exercise of a Warrant, the holder thereof would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company shall, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder of the Warrant.

 

Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.

 

Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

 

The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder(s) hereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder hereof to any rights of a stockholder of the Company.

Exhibit 10.3

 

DIRECTOR AND OFFICER

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 23rd day of December, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Porch Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ____________________ (“Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

 

A. The Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to serve or continue serving as directors or officers of companies unless they are protected by comprehensive liability insurance and adequate indemnification due to the increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting from service to such companies that often bear no relationship to the compensation of such directors or officers.

 

B. The statutes and judicial decisions regarding the duties of directors and officers are often insufficient to provide directors and officers with adequate, reliable knowledge of the legal risks to which they are exposed or the manner in which they are expected to execute their fiduciary duties and responsibilities.

 

C. The Company and the Indemnitee recognize that plaintiffs often seek damages in such large amounts, and the costs of litigation may be so great (whether or not the claims are meritorious), that the defense and/or settlement of such litigation can create an extraordinary burden on the personal resources of directors and officers.

 

D. The board of directors of the Company has concluded that, to attract and retain competent and experienced persons to serve as directors and officers of the Company, it is not only reasonable and prudent but necessary to promote the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the Company to contractually indemnify its directors and certain of its officers in the manner set forth herein, and to assume for itself liability for expenses and damages in connection with claims against such directors and officers in connection with their service to the Company as provided herein.

 

E. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the “DGCL”) permits the Company to indemnify and advance defense costs to its officers and directors and to indemnify and advance expenses to persons who serve at the request of the Company as directors, officers, employees, or agents of other corporations or enterprises.

 

F. The Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company, and the Indemnitee is willing to serve, or to continue to serve, as a director and/or officer of the Company if the Indemnitee is furnished the indemnity provided for herein by the Company.

 

 

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the corresponding meanings set forth below.

 

Change in Control” means each of the following, occurring after the Effective Date:

 

(i) The date any Person becomes the “Beneficial Owner,” as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, of 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares, other than beneficial ownership by (A) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (B) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or (C) any entity of the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not occur as the result of an acquisition of outstanding shares of the Company by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by a Person to 30% or more of the shares of the Company then outstanding; provided, however, that if a Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of 30% or more of the shares of the Company then outstanding by reason of share purchases by the Company and shall, after such share purchases by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional shares of the Company, then a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred; or

 

(ii) The date the Company consummates a merger or consolidation with another entity, or engages in a reorganization with or a statutory share exchange or an exchange offer for the Company’s outstanding voting stock of any class with another entity or acquires another entity by means of a statutory share exchange or an exchange offer, or engages in a similar transaction; provided that no Change in Control shall have occurred by reason of this paragraph unless either:

 

(A) the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction would not, immediately after such consummation, as a result of their beneficial ownership of voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such consummation (I) be the Beneficial Owners, directly or indirectly, of securities of the resulting or acquiring entity entitled to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors or other governing body of the resulting or acquiring entity; and (II) be the Beneficial Owners of the resulting or acquiring entity in substantially the same proportion as their beneficial ownership of the voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction; or

 

  2  

 

 

(B) those persons who were directors of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction would not, immediately after such consummation, constitute a majority of the directors of the resulting entity.

 

(iii) The date of the sale or disposition, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person (as defined in paragraph (i) above) other than an affiliate of the Company (meaning any corporation that is part of a controlled group within the meaning of Section 414(b) or (c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended); or

 

(iv) The date the number of duly elected and qualified directors of the Company who were not either elected by the Company’s Board or nominated by the Board or its nominating/governance committee for election by the stockholders shall constitute a majority of the total number of directors of the Company as fixed by its By-Laws.

 

The Reviewing Party shall have full and final authority, which shall be exercised in its discretion, to determine conclusively whether a Change in Control of the Company has occurred pursuant to the above definition, and the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control and any incidental matters relating thereto.

“Independent Legal Counsel” means an attorney or firm of attorneys that is experienced, knowledgeable and qualified in matters of corporate law, or such other specialty as required by the matter in question, and neither presently is, nor in the thirty-six (36) months prior to such designation has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.

(c) Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance Expenses to or on behalf of Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as such law may be amended from time to time (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior thereto), as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 30 days after written request therefor by Indemnitee, which request shall be accompanied by vouchers, invoices or similar evidence documenting in reasonable detail the Expenses incurred or to be incurred by Indemnitee; provided, however, that Indemnitee need not submit to the Company any information that counsel for Indemnitee reasonably deems is privileged and exempt from compulsory disclosure in any Proceeding. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses, without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement, and Indemnitee’s right to such advancement is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct. Advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing a Proceeding to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within thirty (30) days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses. Execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Indemnitee constitutes an undertaking to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable adjudication that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Agreement. No other form of undertaking shall be required other than the execution of this Agreement.

 

(d) Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Losses or Expenses, in connection with any Proceeding relating to an Indemnification Event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable by the Reviewing Party in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (1) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving rise to such Proceeding; and (2) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s). The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee from any claims for contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than Indemnitee) who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

 

3. Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a) Notice of Indemnification Event. Indemnitee shall give the Company notice as soon as practicable of any Indemnification Event of which Indemnitee becomes aware and of any request for indemnification hereunder, provided that any failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement, except if, and then only to the extent that, such failure increases the liability of the Company under this Agreement.

 

  6  

 

 

(b) Notice to Insurers. The Company shall give prompt written notice of any Indemnification Event which may be covered by the Company’s liability insurance to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in each of the applicable policies of insurance. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Indemnification Event in accordance with the terms of such policies; provided that nothing in this Section 3(b) shall affect the Company’s obligations under this Agreement or the Company’s obligations to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in a timely manner as provided. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit Indemnitee from giving notice of claims directly to the insurers.

 

(c) Selection of Counsel. If the Company shall be obligated hereunder to pay or advance Expenses or indemnify Indemnitee with respect to any Losses, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any related Claims, with counsel selected by the Company. After the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the defense of such Claims; provided that: (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in connection with any such Claim at Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) counsel for Indemnitee shall have provided the Company with written advice that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, (C) the fees and expenses are non-duplicative and reasonably incurred in connection with Indemnitee’s role in the Proceeding despite the Company’s assumption of the defense, (D) after a Change in Control, the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been approved by the Independent Legal Counsel, or (E) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding or the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company, or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the determination provided for in (B) above. Indemnitee agrees that any such separate counsel retained by Indemnitee will be a member of any approved list of panel counsel under the Company’s applicable directors and officers liability insurance policy, should the applicable policy provide for a panel of approved counsel and should such approved panel list comprise law firms with well-established reputations in the type of litigation at issue. (For clarity, the fact of a firm’s being part of a panel shall not be evidence of a firm’s having a well-established national reputation for the type of litigation at issue).

 

4. Determination of Right to Indemnification.

 

(a) Successful Proceeding. To the extent Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding related to any Indemnification Event referred to in Section 2(a), the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against Losses and Expenses incurred by him or her in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding, but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all Claims in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Losses and Expenses actually or reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved Claim to the extent fully permitted by applicable law. For these purposes and without limitation, Indemnitee will be deemed to have been “successful on the merits” in circumstances including but not limited to the termination of any Proceeding or of any Claim, issue or matter therein, by the winning of a dismissal (with or without prejudice), motion for summary judgment, settlement (with or without court approval), or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent.

 

  7  

 

 

(b) Other Proceedings. In the event that Section 4(a) is inapplicable, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as provided in Section 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable, or provide a contribution payment to the Indemnitee as provided in Section 2(d), to the extent determined by the Reviewing Party.

 

(c) Reviewing Party Determination. A Reviewing Party chosen by the Company’s board of directors shall determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, subject to the following:

 

(i) A Reviewing Party so chosen shall act in the utmost good faith to assure Indemnitee a complete opportunity to present to such Reviewing Party Indemnitee’s case that Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

(ii) Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of a Covered Entity, including, without limitation, its financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers or employees of a Covered Entity in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for a Covered Entity or on information or records given, or reports made, to a Covered Entity by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by a Covered Entity. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of a Covered Entity shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(c)(ii) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Any Person seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence.

 

(iii) If a Reviewing Party chosen pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall not have made a determination whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (A) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (B) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 30 day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days, if the Reviewing Party in good faith requires such additional time for obtaining or evaluating documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(c)(iii) shall not apply if (I) the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders of the Company, (II) a special meeting of stockholders is called by the board of directors of the Company for such purpose within thirty (30) days after the stockholders are chosen as the Reviewing Party, (III) such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called, and (IV) such determination is made thereat.

 

  8  

 

 

(d) Appeal to Court. Notwithstanding a determination by a Reviewing Party chosen pursuant to Section 4(c) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification with respect to a specific Claim or Proceeding (an “Adverse Determination”), Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to the court in which that Claim or Proceeding is or was pending or any other court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, provided that Indemnitee shall commence any such Proceeding seeking to enforce Indemnitee’s right to indemnification within one (1) year following the date upon which Indemnitee is notified in writing by the Company of the Adverse Determination. In the event of any dispute between the parties concerning their respective rights and obligations hereunder, the Company shall have the burden of proving that the Company is not obligated to make the payment or advance claimed by Indemnitee.

 

(e) Presumption of Success. The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment shall be deemed a successful resolution for purposes of Section 4(a) if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption or uncertainty. In the event that any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such Proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration), it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such Proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence.

 

(f) Settlement of Claims. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Company nor the Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial award if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action; the Company’s liability hereunder shall not be excused if participation in the Proceeding by the Company was barred by this Agreement. The Company shall not, on its own behalf, settle any part of any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is party with respect to other parties (including the Company) if any portion of such settlement is to be funded from corporate insurance proceeds unless approved by (i) the written consent of Indemnitee or (ii) a majority of the independent directors of the board; provided, however, that the right to constrain the Company’s use of corporate insurance as described in this section shall terminate at the time the Company concludes (per the terms of this Agreement) that (i) Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this agreement, or (ii) such indemnification obligation to Indemnitee has been fully discharged by the Company. The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

5. Additional Indemnification Rights; Non-exclusivity.

 

(a) Scope. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, even if such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement, the Organizational Documents of any Covered Entity or by applicable law. In the event of any change after the Effective Date in any applicable law, statute or rule that expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, controlling person, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule that narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, controlling person, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder.

 

(b) Non-exclusivity. The rights to indemnification, contribution and advancement of Expenses provided in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of, but shall be in addition to, any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under the Organizational Documents of any Covered Entity, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors, the laws of the State of Delaware or otherwise and shall be interpreted independently of, and without reference to, any other such rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled. Furthermore, no right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion of any other right or remedy. The rights to indemnification, contribution and advancement of Expenses provided in this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action Indemnitee took or did not take while serving in an indemnified capacity even though Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity.

 

6. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of any amount otherwise indemnifiable hereunder, or for which advancement is provided hereunder, if and to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment, whether pursuant to any insurance policy, the Organizational Documents of any Covered Entity or otherwise; provided, however, that payment made to Indemnitee pursuant to an insurance policy purchased and maintained by Indemnitee at his or her own expense of any amounts otherwise indemnifiable or obligated to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce the Company’s obligations to Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement.

 

  10  

 

 

7. Liability Insurance.

 

(a) The Company shall maintain liability insurance applicable to directors and officers of the Company and shall cause Indemnitee to be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s officers and directors (other than in the case of an independent director liability insurance policy if Indemnitee is not an independent or outside director). The Company shall advise Indemnitee as to the general terms of, and the amounts of coverage provide by, any liability insurance policy described in this Section 8 and shall promptly notify Indemnitee if, at any time, any such insurance policy is terminated or expired without renewal or if the amount of coverage under any such insurance policy will be decreased.

 

(b) If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a Claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. The Company will instruct the insurers and their insurance brokers that they may communicate directly with Indemnitee regarding such Claim.

 

(c) In the event of a Change in Control or the Company’s becoming insolvent, the Company shall maintain in force any and all insurance policies then maintained by the Company in providing insurance—directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary, employment practices or otherwise—in respect of the individual directors and officers of the Company, for a fixed period of six years thereafter (a “Tail Policy”). Such coverage shall be non-cancellable and shall be placed and serviced for the duration of its term by the Company’s incumbent insurance broker. Such broker shall place the Tail Policy with the incumbent insurance carriers using the policies that were in place at the time of the Change in Control event (unless the incumbent carriers will not offer such policies, in which case the Tail Policy placed by the Company’s insurance broker shall be substantially comparable in scope and amount as the expiring policies, and the insurance carriers for the Tail Policy shall have an AM Best rating that is the same or better than the AM Best ratings of the expiring policies).

 

8. Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee:

 

(a) against any Losses or Expenses, or advance Expenses to Indemnitee, with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee, and not by way of defense (including, without limitation, affirmative defenses and counter-claims), except (i) Claims to establish or enforce a right to indemnification, contribution or advancement with respect to an Indemnification Event, whether under this Agreement, any other agreement or insurance policy, the Company’s Organizational Documents of any Covered Entity, the laws of the State of Delaware or otherwise, or (ii) if the Company’s board of directors has approved specifically the initiation or bringing of such Claim;

 

  11  

 

 

(b) against any Losses or Expenses, or advance Expenses to Indemnitee, with respect to Claims arising (i) with respect to an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or (ii) pursuant to Section 304 or 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or any rule or regulation promulgated pursuant thereto; or

 

(c) if, and to the extent, that a court of competent jurisdiction renders a final, unappealable decision that such indemnification is not lawful.

 

9. Monetary Damages Insufficient/Specific Performance. The Company and Indemnitee agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult to prove, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm (having agreed that actual and irreparable harm will result in not necessarily forcing the Company to specifically perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement) and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which he may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by the Court, and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of a bond or undertaking. If Indemnitee seeks mandatory injunctive relief, it shall not be a defense to enforcement of the Company’s obligations set forth in this Agreement that Indemnitee has an adequate remedy at law for damages.

 

10. No Offsets. The Company’s obligation to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other entity shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payments or advancement of expenses from such entity. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Indemnitee shall have no obligation to reduce, offset, allocate, pursue or apportion any indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement, contribution or insurance coverage among multiple parties possessing such duties to Indemnitee prior to the Company’s satisfaction and performance of all its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) the Company shall perform fully its obligations under this Agreement without regard to whether Indemnitee holds, may pursue or has pursued any indemnification, advancement, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or insurance coverage rights against any person or entity other than the Company.

 

  12  

 

 

11. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

 

(b) Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including with respect to the Company, any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company) and with respect to Indemnitee, his or her spouse, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to Claims relating to Indemnification Events regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, controlling person, agent or fiduciary of any Covered Entity.

 

(c) Notice. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective when given, and shall in any event be deemed to be given (a) five (5) days after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service or other applicable postal service, if delivered by first class mail, postage prepaid, (b) upon delivery, if delivered by hand, (c) one (1) business day after the business day of deposit with Federal Express or similar, nationally recognized overnight courier, freight prepaid, or (d) one (1) business day after the business day of delivery by confirmed facsimile transmission, if deliverable by facsimile transmission, with copy by other means permitted hereunder, and addressed, if to Indemnitee, to the Indemnitee’s address or facsimile number (as applicable) as set forth beneath the Indemnitee’s signature to this Agreement, or, if to the Company, at the address or facsimile number (as applicable) of its principal corporate offices (attention: Secretary), or at such other address or facsimile number (as applicable) as such party may designate to the other parties hereto.

 

(d) Notice by Company. If the Indemnitee is the subject of, or is, to the knowledge of the Company, implicated in any way during an investigation, whether formal or informal, that is related to Indemnitee’s status as a director or officer of one or more Covered Entities and that reasonably could lead to a Proceeding for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement, the Company shall notify the Indemnitee of such investigation and shall share (to the extent legally permissible) with Indemnitee any information it has provided to any third parties concerning the investigation (such information, to the extent not previously known to Indemnitee, “Shared Information”). By executing this Agreement, Indemnitee agrees that such Shared Information is material non-public information that Indemnitee is obligated to hold in confidence and may not disclose publicly; provided, however, that Indemnitee may use the Shared Information and disclose such Shared Information to Indemnitee’s legal counsel and third parties, in each case solely in connection with defending Indemnitee from legal liability.

 

  13  

 

 

(e) Enforceability. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

(f) Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any Proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any Proceeding instituted under this Agreement shall be commenced, prosecuted and continued only in the courts of the State of Delaware.

 

(g) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of this Agreement containing any provision held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable that is not itself invalid, void or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the extent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

 

(h) Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

 

(i) Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

(j) Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in a writing signed by the parties to be bound thereby. Notice of same shall be provided to all parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

(k) No Construction as Employment Agreement. This Agreement is not an employment agreement between the Company and the Indemnitee and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to be retained or continue in the employ or service of any Covered Entity.

 

(l) Supersedes Previous Agreements. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. All such prior agreements and understandings are hereby terminated and deemed of no further force or effect.

2.1 Shelf Registration.

 

2.1.1 Initial Registration. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act to permit the public resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders (and certain other outstanding equity securities of the Company) from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) (“Rule 415”) on the terms and conditions specified in this subsection 2.1.1 and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after the initial filing thereof, but in no event later than sixty (60) business days following the filing deadline (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to one hundred and twenty (120) days after the filing deadline if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the Commission. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall be a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (a “Form S-3 Shelf”) or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on Form S-1 (a “Form S-1 Shelf”) or such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of such Registrable Securities, covering such Registrable Securities, and shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement. A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested prior to effectiveness by, the Holders. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. When effective, a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made).

2.1.2 Form S-3 Shelf. If the Company files a Form S-3 Shelf and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Form S-1 Shelf as promptly as reasonably practicable to replace the shelf registration statement that is a Form S-3 Shelf and have the Form S-1 Shelf declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable and to cause such Form S-1 Shelf to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

 

2.1.3 Shelf Takedown. At any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by subsection 2.1.1 or 2.1.2, any Holder may request to sell all or a portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to such shelf registration statement, including a Block Trade (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”), provided that such Holder(s) (a) reasonably expect aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000 from such Shelf Underwritten Offering or (b) reasonably expects to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such Shelf Underwritten Offering but in no event less than $10,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds. All requests for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “Shelf Takedown Notice”). Each Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) business days after receipt of any Shelf Takedown Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Shelf Underwritten Offering to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to reductions consistent with the Pro Rata calculations in Section 2.2.4, shall include in such Shelf Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein, within five (5) days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice, or, in the case of a Block Trade, as provided in Section 2.5. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the initiating Holders with written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering contemplated by this subsection 2.1.3, subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations of the Company and the selling stockholders as are customary in underwritten offerings of securities.

 

2.1.4 Holder Information Required for Participation in Shelf Registration. At least ten (10) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Article II, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to notify each Holder in writing (which may be by email) of the information reasonably necessary about the Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities to the extent the Company has not received such information, and received any other reasonably requested agreements or certificates, on or prior to the fifth business day prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Article II.

The Company shall, within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall file, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, a Form S-3 Shelf or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, a Form S-1 Shelf covering of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after filing.

2.2.2 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.2.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency, the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.

Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.4, if a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder (if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.3 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration, which Underwriter(s) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

3.1.2 prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus, as may be reasonably requested by any majority-in-interest of the Holders with Registrable Securities registered on such Registration Statement or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than forty-five (45) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

 

12

 

 

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of the Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

 

3.6 Transfer Restrictions.

 

3.6.1 During the applicable Lock-Up Periods, none of the Existing Holders, the Principal Holder or the New Holders shall offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or distribute any shares of Common Stock that are subject to an applicable Lock-Up Period or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock that are subject to an applicable Lock-Up Period, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, that is owned directly by such Holder (including securities held as a custodian) or with respect to which such Holder has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Commission (such securities that are subject to an applicable Lock-Up Period, the “Restricted Securities”), other than any transfer to an affiliate of a Holder, as applicable. The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude each Holder, as applicable, from engaging in any hedging or other transaction with respect to Restricted Securities which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Restricted Securities even if such Restricted Securities would be disposed of by someone other than such Holder. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions include any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including any put or call option) with respect to any of the Restricted Securities of the applicable Holder, or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Restricted Securities.

 

3.6.2 Each Holder hereby represents and warrants that it now has and, except as contemplated by this subsection 3.6.2 for the duration of the applicable Lock-Up Period, will have good and marketable title to its Restricted Securities, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims that could impact the ability of such Holder to comply with the foregoing restrictions Each Holder agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of any Restricted Securities during the applicable Lock-Up Period.

 

ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

 

4.1 Indemnification.

 

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

 

13

 

 

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

 

4.1.3 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 materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, 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 (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, 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.

 

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

 

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof 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 and the benefits received by such indemnifying party or indemnified party; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by Pro Rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. 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 subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Exhibit 10.7

 

RETENTION AGREEMENT

 

This Retention Agreement (“Agreement”), dated February 20, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between Porch.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Matthew Neagle (the “Participant”).

 

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

 

2. Exit Price. The “Exit Price” shall be the price of one share of Common Stock at the time of: (i) a Change in Control; or (ii) an initial public offering in which the Company has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (either (i) or (ii), an “Exit Event”).

 

3. Grant of Share Bonus. If the Exit Price at the time of an Exit Event is less than $5.00 per share of Common Stock, then the Company will grant the Participant an award of Restricted Stock under the Plan in the amounts set forth in the table below, as determined by the duration of time the Participant continues to be an Employee (the “Share Bonus”), effective immediately prior to the Exit Event. The Share Bonus will be granted on the form of restricted stock agreement set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto.

 

If the Participant continues to be an
Employee through:
  Number of Shares of Restricted Stock in
Share Bonus
     
October 1, 2017   $50,000 divided by the Exit Price
     
January 1, 2018   $100,000 divided by the Exit Price
     
April 1, 2018   $150,000 divided by the Exit Price
     
July 1, 2018   $200,000 divided by the Exit Price
     
October 1, 2018   $250,000 divided by the Exit Price
     
January 1, 2019   $300,000 divided by the Exit Price
     
April 1, 2019   $350,000 divided by the Exit Price
     
July 1, 2019   $400,000 divided by the Exit Price

 

For clarity, the Participant will only be entitled to the Share Bonus for the most recent date through which he continues to be an Employee set forth in the table above. For example, if an Exit Event occurs on October 2, 2018 with a $4 per share Exit Price, and the Participant remains an Employee through that date, then the total Number of Shares of Restricted Stock in the Share Bonus would be $250,000 / $4 per share = 62,500 shares of Common Stock.

 

1

 

 

4. Limitation on Shares. In no event with the Share Bonus exceed 400,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

5. Termination of Employment. If the Participant’s employment with the Company ends for any reason, then the Company shall offer to engage the Participant as an advisor or in another consulting role within the definition of Service Provider (as defined in the Plan) on terms substantially similar to the Company’s existing board advisory relationships for the period commencing on the date the Participant leaves his Employment until the termination date set forth in Section 6 below; except that the advisory agreement between the Company and the Participant will provide that, other than termination by mutual agreement, it may only be terminated by the Company for Cause. For purposes of the advisory agreement, “Cause” will mean (i) Participant’s willful embezzlement, misappropriation, or fraud which is, in each case, injurious to the Company; (ii) Participant’s willful misconduct that actually results in material harm or loss to the Company; or (iii) Participant’s conviction of a crime that constitutes a felony (or state law equivalent), if such felony is related to Participant’s advisory role and results in material harm to the Company. The Participant will not be awarded any Share Bonus if the Participant is not a Service Provider at the time of the grant of the Share Bonus.

  

6. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate on April 21, 2027. If no Exit Event has occurred by April 21, 2027, then no Share Bonus will be paid under this Agreement.

 

7. Entire Agreement; Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Severability. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Agreement, including the exhibit hereto, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to Participant’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Participant. This Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of the State of Delaware. Participant hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and state courts in the State of Delaware for any action arising out of, or based upon, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and waives any objection to the laying of venue in such courts or that any such court constitutes an inconvenient forum. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Participant understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or U.S. federal securities laws:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

(b) Stop-Transfer Notices.

3 

 

 

(c) Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred

 

4. Lock-Up Period. Participant hereby agrees that Participant shall not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company or enter into any swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by Participant (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions including, but not limited to, FINRA Rule 2241, if applicable, or any similar or successor provisions or amendments thereto).

 

Participant agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities of the Company), Participant shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section 4 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred and eighty (180) day (or other) period. Participant agrees that any transferee of the Shares shall be bound by this Section 4.

 

5. Company’s Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Participant or any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5 (the “Right of First Refusal”).

 

(a) Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the number of Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Shares (the “Offered Price”), and the Holder shall offer the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).

 

4 

 

 

(b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with subsection (c) below.

 

(c) Transfer Purchase Price. The transfer purchase price (“Transfer Purchase Price”) for the Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section 5 shall be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

 

(d) Payment. Payment of the Transfer Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice.

 

(e) Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section 5, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other transfer is consummated within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of the Notice, that any such sale or other transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section 5 shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares described in the Notice are not transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred.

 

(f) Exception for Certain Family Transfers. Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5 notwithstanding, the transfer of any or all of the Shares during Participant’s lifetime or on Participant’s death by will or intestacy to Participant’s Immediate Family or a trust for the benefit of Participant’s Immediate Family shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section 5. “Immediate Family” as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister. In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this Section 5, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.

 

(g) Termination of Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to any Shares upon the earlier of (i) the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general public, or (ii) a Change in Control in which the successor corporation has equity securities that are publicly traded.

 

5 

 

 

6. Tax Obligations. Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) for the satisfaction of all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the grant of Restricted Stock. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the grant and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered upon request of the Administrator.

 

7. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

 

8. Entire Agreement; Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Severability. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to Participant’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Participant. This Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of the State of Delaware. Participant hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and state courts in the State of Delaware for any action arising out of, or based upon, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and waives any objection to the laying of venue in such courts or that any such court constitutes an inconvenient forum. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts the Shares subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof. Participant has reviewed the Plan and this Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of this Agreement. Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

  

PARTICIPANT :  
     
COMPANY : PORCH.COM, INC. A DELAWARE CORPORATION
     
SECURITY : COMMON STOCK, PAR VALUE $0.01 PER SHARE, OF THE COMPANY
     
AMOUNT :  
     
DATE :  

 

In connection with the grant of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Participant represents to the Company the following:

 

(a) Participant is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Participant is acquiring these Securities for investment for Participant’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

(b) Participant acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Participant’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Participant understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Participant’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one (1) year or any other fixed period in the future. Participant further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Participant understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities shall be imprinted with any legend required under applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws.

 

(c) Participant is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

 

(d) Participant further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, or compliance with other registration exemption shall be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 shall have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Participant understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption shall be available in such event.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in the Current Report of Porch Group, Inc. on Form 8-K filed on December 30, 2020, to which this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is attached as Exhibit 99.1, have the meanings assigned to such terms the Company’s Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation/Prospectus filed with the SEC on December 3, 2020.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Merger. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information present the combination of the financial information of PTAC and Porch adjusted to give effect to the Merger. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses”. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 combines the historical balance sheet of PTAC and the historical balance sheet of Porch on a pro forma basis as if the Merger, summarized below, had been consummated on September 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, combine the historical statements of operations of PTAC and Porch for such periods on a pro forma basis as if the Merger, summarized below, had been consummated on January 1, 2019, the beginning of the earliest period presented:

 

the Merger of Porch with and into Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of PTAC, with Porch surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PTAC;

 

the issuance and sale of 15,000,000 shares of PTAC common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share are issued pursuant to the PIPE Investment;

 

the conversion of 52,207,029 shares of Porch preferred stock to 52,251,876 shares of Porch common stock immediately prior to the closing of the Merger in accordance with Porch’s existing charter; and

 

the cancellation of 6,974,627 outstanding Porch warrants resulting in the issuance of 5,126,128 shares of Porch common stock immediately prior to the closing of the Merger pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Cancelation Agreements or otherwise in accordance with the warrant terms; and

 

the conversion of 4,312,500 outstanding Founder Shares into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

 

The historical financial information of PTAC was derived from the unaudited and audited financial statements of PTAC as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and for the period from July 31, 2019 (date of inception) to December 31, 2019, respectively, in each case, included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus. The historical financial information of Porch was derived from the unaudited and audited combined financial statements of Porch as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and for the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively, in each case included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus. This information should be read together with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included herein and PTAC’s and Porch’s unaudited and audited financial statements and related notes, the sections titled “PTAC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Porch’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information, in each case included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus.

The merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, PTAC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, Porch was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of Porch (i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of stock by PTAC for the stock of Porch), based on the following facts and circumstances:

 

Porch’s existing shareholders have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity with 53.0% voting interest;

 

Porch’s existing directors and individuals designated by existing Porch stockholders will represent the majority of the Porch Group, Inc.’s board of directors;

 

The largest individual minority stockholder of the combined entity is an existing shareholder of Porch;

 

Porch’s senior management has become the senior management of Porch Group, Inc.; and

 

Porch is the larger entity based on historical revenue.

 

Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Porch have become the historical financial statements of Porch Group, Inc., and PTAC’s assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with Porch beginning on the Closing Date. The net assets of PTAC were recognized at historical cost (which is expected to be consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Merger will be presented in future financial reports as those of Porch.

 

Pursuant to PTAC’s existing charter, PTAC provided public stockholders of its Class A Common Stock with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in PTAC’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), which holds the proceeds of PTAC’s IPO as of two (2) business days prior to the Closing (including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to PTAC to pay taxes). The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements reflect actual redemption of 400 shares of PTAC Class A common stock at a per share price of approximately $10.04.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are based on the historical financial statements of PTAC and Porch. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on information currently available, assumptions, and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments and are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used to present the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, PTAC was treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of Porch issuing stock for the net assets of PTAC, accompanied by a recapitalization.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 assumes that the Merger occurred on September 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 presents pro forma effect to the Merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2019.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

PTAC's unaudited condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and the related notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, in each case included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus; and

 

Porch's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and the related notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, in each case included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

PTAC's unaudited condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the related notes, in each case included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus; and

 

Porch’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the related notes, in each case included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

PTAC's audited statement of operations for the period from July 31, 2019 (date of inception) to December 31, 2019 and the related notes, in each case included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus; and

 

Porch’s audited consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the related notes, in each case included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus.

 

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Merger. In addition, unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes the historical activity of businesses from which Porch has divested, and for acquisitions, only includes combined results from period after combination. In all instances, historical divestitures and acquisitions did not meet significance test thresholds that would have required pro forma presentation, as described in Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses”.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Merger are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. The Company believes that these assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Merger based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Merger taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of Porch Group, Inc.. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of PTAC and Porch.

 

2. Accounting Policies

 

As part of the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, certain reclassifications were made to align PTAC's and Porch's financial statement presentation, each as identified in Note 3 below. Upon completion of the Merger, management will perform a comprehensive review of PTAC's and Porch's accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company. Based on its initial analysis, the Company has identified the presentation differences that would have an impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and recorded the necessary adjustments.

 

3. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Merger and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses”. Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and the option to present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). The Company has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based upon the number of Porch Group, Inc. shares outstanding, assuming the Transactions occurred on January 1, 2019.

 

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

 

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 are as follows:

 

(a) Reflects the reclassification of $173.2 million of cash held in PTAC’s Trust Account that becomes available at closing of the Merger. Amounts available to the Company were reduced as a result of redemptions by PTAC public stockholders resulting in $4,016 returned to PTAC public stockholders.

 

7

 

 

(b) Reflects the settlement of an additional approximately $14.1 million of transaction costs at closing in connection with the Merger, of which approximately $5.0 million were accrued in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $6.0 million were accrued in deferred underwriting commissions, and $3.1 million were yet to be incurred, as of September 30, 2020. $3.2 million of transaction costs are recorded in other assets as of September 30, 2020, and were reclassified against equity upon closing of the Merger. An additional $1.2 million of transaction costs have been paid as of September 30, 2020.

 

Of the total transaction costs expected to be incurred, in addition to the fee described in adjustment {c}, $8.2 million relates to advisory, legal and other fees incurred and to be incurred which are adjusted against additional paid in capital, $6.0 million relates to deferred underwriting fees payable, and the remaining $0.4 million was expensed, and remains in the accumulated deficit of PTAC.

 

(c) Reflects the proceeds of $150.0 million from the issuance of 15.0 million shares of Common Stock with par value of $0.0001 from the PIPE Investment based on commitments received which were offset by the issuance costs equal to 5.5% of gross proceeds, or $8.3 million. The costs related to the issuance of the PIPE Investment were adjusted against additional paid in capital.

 

(d) Reflects the cash settlement of certain amounts of Porch outstanding debt, including current, long term, and accrued interest payable amounts outstanding at September 30, 2020, which were contractually required to be repaid upon closing of the Merger. Included in this amount is repayment of the additional $5.0 million of loan proceeds from the convertible loan agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald Securities that was received in October 2020, as described in adjustment {h} and in footnotes 6 and 13 of Porch’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2020 included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus.

 

Based on the amount of cash available upon closing of the Merger and in accordance with the agreement’s terms, $7.0 million of the outstanding balance of the Loan and Security Agreement with Runway Growth Credit Fund, Inc., including Orix Growth Capital, LLC (“Orix”) and Midcap Financial Trust (“Midcap”) as co-lenders (“Runway Loan”), which was entered into during July 2020 for the purposes of re-financing outstanding debt with Orix and Midcap and to provide additional working capital in contemplation of the Merger, was required to be repaid, plus interest and prepayment fees.

 

As of September 30, 2020, Porch had $8.6 million of outstanding loan balances with the U.S. Small Business Administration under the Paycheck Protection Program. As of the Closing Date of the Merger, $0.4 million of the balance, representing the amount attributable to a Porch acquired entity, has been forgiven by the lender. The remaining balance remains outstanding; however, proceeds for repayment were deposited into an escrow account on the Closing Date while loan repayment (or forgiveness) is determined. As a result, adjustment {d} includes a $8.2 million reduction in cash and cash equivalents, a $8.2 million increase in restricted cash, a $0.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt, and a $0.4 million decrease in long-term debt.

 

As a result of the acceleration of outstanding debt repayments upon closing of the Merger, losses on extinguishment of debt were recorded due to the write off of unamortized debt issuance costs. See adjustment {jj}.

 

(e) Reflects the settlement of one-time bonus compensation payments payable to Porch management under the Management Carve-Out Plan as a result of the Merger.

 

(f) Reflects the settlement of accrued acquisition compensation, including accrued interest that is payable upon closing of the Merger.

 

8

 

 

(g) Reflects the recapitalization of Porch’s equity and issuance of Porch Group, Inc. Common Stock as consideration for the Merger. Aggregate consideration to be paid in the Merger is calculated based on an enterprise value of is $471.5 million, with further adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The total merger consideration was apportioned between cash and Common Stock. The holders of each outstanding share of Porch common stock, including common stock held by prior owners of Porch preferred stock (other than shares owned by Porch as treasury stock, dissenting shares and restricted shares) and each outstanding Porch warrant that is in-the-money were entitled to a pro-rata share of the Merger consideration.

 

The Porch shareholders described above received 36.3 million shares of Porch Group, Inc. Common Stock and $30.0 million in cash. Additionally, the Porch shareholders described above received on a pro rata basis a portion of 5.0 million restricted shares of Company Common Stock that will vest if the Company achieves certain earnout thresholds prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Shares”). These 5.0 million Earnout Shares are excluded from the pro forma balance sheet adjustments because the shares are subject to forfeiture if the earnout thresholds are not achieved.

 

(h) Reflects the aggregate proceeds received from Cantor Fitzgerald Securities pursuant to the convertible loan agreement. In July 2020, Porch entered into a convertible loan agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald Securities in the amount of $10.0 million with the proceeds of the loan received upon completion of Porch’s 2019 financial statement audit. This convertible loan agreement was amended in August 2020, to provide for the funding of $5.0 million of the loan into a restricted cash account. Upon completion of the Porch’s 2019 financial statement audit, an additional $5.0 million of loan proceeds was received in October 2020 in addition to the release of the $5.0 million loan proceeds held in a restricted cash account.

 

(i) Reflects the reclassification of PTAC's franchise tax payable to align with the balance sheet presentation of Porch Group, Inc.

 

(j) Reflects the cancelation of all outstanding warrants to purchase Porch preferred capital stock. In connection with the Merger, Porch pursued warrant cancelation agreements from all holders of such warrants. Warrant holders were free to exercise warrants under existing terms up until the date that is 15 business days before the expected closing of the Merger. Because no preferred capital stock warrant holders exercised warrants under these terms, warrants were net share settled at the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Cancelation Agreements or in accordance with the warrant terms (with the strike price of the warrants to be met by forfeiture of as-converted-to-common shares of the shares underlying the warrant to be valued at the value ascribed to each as-converted-to-common share in the transaction). The Porch common shares resulting from the net share settlement described above were entitled to receive pro rata shares of the Merger consideration along with the existing equity holders. This adjustment reflects the net share settlement of 2.3 million Porch preferred capital stock warrants into 1.5 million shares of Porch common stock, prior to exchange for Porch Group, Inc. Common Stock upon closing of the Merger. 0.2 million Porch preferred capital stock warrants were “out-of-the-money” as of the Closing Date, and as such were not entitled to exchange for Porch Group, Inc. Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant Cancelation Agreements.

 

(k) Reflects the reclassification of PTAC common stock not previously redeemed by PTAC common stockholders to permanent equity at $0.0001 par value. See adjustment {a}.

 

(l) Reflects the aggregate issuance of Porch Group, Inc. Common Stock, par value $0.0001 related to all equity activity noted in the pro forma adjustments herein. See details in adjustments {c}, {g}, {k}, {m}, {o}.

 

(m) Reflects the reclassification of the Founder Shares from Class B common stock to Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at closing of the Merger.

 

(n) Reflects the reclassification of PTAC's historical retained earnings, after the impacts of adjustment {q}, to additional paid in capital as part of the Merger.

 

9

 

 

(o) Reflects the issuance of 1.7 million shares of Porch Group, Inc. common stock used as consideration for amounts owed for financial advisory services incurred by Porch associated with the transaction that were settled in Porch Group, Inc. stock, 0.2 million of which are subject to forfeiture if earn-out thresholds are not achieved.

 

(p) Reflects the recognition of additional employee stock-compensation expense as a result of the Merger transaction, due to certain vesting conditions being met that result in the Porch awards being considered probable of achieving all vesting requirements. See adjustment {aa}.

 

(q) Represents the reclassification of transaction related legal costs previously incurred by PTAC that were considered to be equity issuance costs of Porch Group, Inc.

 

(r) Represents the pro forma impact of an agreement between Matt Ehrlichman, Porch CEO, and another investor. On July 30, 2020, an affiliate of Valor Equity Partners (“Valor”) and Matt Ehrlichman entered into an agreement (the “Valor-Ehrlichman Agreement”) pursuant to which Valor agreed to execute a Support Agreement on or about July 30, 2020, pursuant to which Valor agreed to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to shares of Porch preferred stock held by Valor adopting the Merger agreement and approving the Merger, including agreement to convert Valor’s shares of Porch preferred stock into the same number of shares of Porch common stock, subject to limited exceptions. For accounting purposes, this transaction was accounted for as if the Valor-Ehrlichman Agreement was entered into between Valor and Porch. The resulting accounting is as if the CEO provided a capital contribution to Porch, and Porch provided consideration to Valor to induce conversion of Porch preferred stock held by Valor into Porch common stock. Therefore, the payment is accounted for as an induced conversion of preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to the Merger. The total consideration transferred increases total net loss in determining net loss available to common shareholders. This amount represents the excess of fair value of the additional securities issued and cash paid to induce conversion of Valor’s preferred stock to common stock.

 

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are as follows:

 

(aa) Reflects the expense related to increased employee stock-based compensation as a result of the Merger. Certain of Porch’s employee awards include performance condition vesting requirements that relate to a change of control or IPO, which were previously considered not probable of meeting the vesting conditions. Included in the proforma adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are additional compensation amounts related to the implementation of a partial employee furlough and payroll reduction in exchange for RSUs, as described in footnote 8 of Porch’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus.

 

(bb) Reflects the expense related to increased management compensation for the Porch CEO and Founder. The Porch CEO and Founder historically has received an annual base salary of $1.00, which was increased to $0.4 million in July 2020 in contemplation of the Merger.

 

(cc) Reflects the total transaction costs related to the Merger for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 not previously charged to equity. $2.6 million of these were considered to be equity issuance costs of Porch Group, Inc., as described in adjustment {q}. $0.4 million of these costs were reflected as if incurred on January 1, 2019, the date the Merger occurred for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. This is a non-recurring item.

 

10

 

 

(dd) Reflects the expense related to one-time bonus compensation payments payable to Porch management under the Management Carve-Out Plan as a result of the Merger. See adjustment {e}. This is a non-recurring item.

 

(ee) Reflects the reclassification of PTAC's franchise tax expense to align with the income statement presentation of Porch Group, Inc.

 

(ff) Reflects the elimination of the PTAC administrative service fee paid to the Sponsor that ceased upon closing of the Merger.

 

(gg) Reflects the elimination of interest income earned on the PTAC Trust Account.

 

(hh) Reflects the elimination of interest expense on Porch’s outstanding debt that was required to be repaid upon closing of the Merger. As described in adjustment {d}, only a portion of the principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Runway Loan was paid using the Merger proceeds.

 

(ii) Reflects the elimination of the loss on Porch's Series B and Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability. Upon closing of the Merger, warrant cancellation agreements were obtained which caused conversion of outstanding warrants into Porch common stock, immediately prior to the exchange of Porch common stock for Porch Group Inc. common stock. See additional details in adjustment {j} above.

 

(jj) Reflects pro forma losses incurred in connection with extinguishment (early repayment) of debt that was required to be repaid upon closing of the Merger. $2.1 million of loss was incurred resulting from early payment fees and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs relating to repayment of outstanding debt of approximately $39.3 million. This is a non-recurring item.

 

(kk) Represents the pro forma impact of an agreement between Matt Ehrlichman, Porch CEO, and another investor. See note {r}.

 

(ll) Reflects the reversal of the loss on remeasurement at fair value of certain convertible promissory notes recognized in Porch’s Statement of Operations for the year and nine month periods ended December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively, which were accounted for by Porch under the fair value option and were contractually required to repaid upon the Merger.

 

(mm) Reflects the income tax effect of pro forma adjustments using the estimated effective tax rate of 0%. In its historical periods, Porch concluded that it is more likely than not that it will not recognize the benefits of federal and state net deferred tax assets and as a result established a valuation allowance. For pro forma purposes, it is assumed that this conclusion will continue at and subsequent to the Closing Date of the Merger and as such, a 0% effective tax rate is reflected.

 

4. Loss per Share

 

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Merger, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2019. As the Merger is being reflected as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2019, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Merger have been outstanding for the entire periods presented.

(1) Excludes 6.2 million Earnout Shares (including 0.2 million shares issuable in consideration for financial advisory services and 1.0 million unvested restricted shares awarded to the Porch CEO Matt Ehrlichman prior to the Closing Date, in each case subject to the same earnout thresholds as the 5.0 million Earnout Shares) which are subject to forfeiture, but have present voting rights and participate in dividends or distributions in a manner similar to the holders of common stock. All such Earnout Shares are determined to be participating securities prior to vesting, at which point they become issued common stock. While unvested, forfeitable Earnout Shares remain outstanding, earnings per share will be allocated under the two-class method. Because the financial statements reflect a net loss in all periods presented, no loss amounts have been allocated to such Earnout Shares, because such Earnout Shares do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses.

 

(2) Excludes 6.2 million Earnout Shares (including 0.2 million shares issuable in consideration for financial advisory services and 1.0 million unvested restricted shares awarded to the Porch CEO Matt Ehrlichman prior to the Closing Date, in each case subject to the same earnout thresholds as the 5.0 million Earnout Shares) that will be issued upon the occurrence of future events (i.e. vesting of restricted stock). The total shares to be issued as consideration in the Merger includes all issued and outstanding common stock plus shares underlying unvested restricted stock. Accordingly, the weighted average pro forma shares outstanding at close has been adjusted to exclude the portion of shares that will be unvested, unissued, and/or unexercised at the closing of the Merger.

 

(3) For purposes of applying the “if-converted” method for calculating diluted earnings per share, it was assumed that all outstanding warrants sold in the PTAC IPO, warrants sold in the private placement concurrent with the PTAC IPO, Porch unvested restricted stock, Porch options, and Earnout Shares are exchanged for Common Stock. However, since this results in anti-dilution, the effect of such exchange was not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share.
