Tattooed Chef Announces Redemption of Public Warrants

 

Warrant Redemption Increases Cash Balance by $124 Million;

Cashless Exercise Mitigates Dilution and Simplifies Capital Structure

 

Paramount, California—January 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Tattooed Chef, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTCF, TTCFW) (“Tattooed Chef” or the “Company”), a leader in plant-based foods, today announced that the Company will redeem all its outstanding publicly held warrants (the “Public Warrants”) that remain unexercised immediately after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on February 16, 2021, the date for redemption fixed by the Company. Under the terms of the warrant agreement governing the Public Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”), the Company is entitled to redeem all of the outstanding Public Warrants if the last sales price of the Company’s common stock is at least $18.00 per share on each of twenty trading days within any thirty-day trading period. This share price performance was achieved as of January 11, 2021.

 

Sam Galletti, Tattooed Chef’s Chief Executive Officer said, “We are pleased to streamline our capital structure and enhance our cash position by eliminating the Public Warrants. We have received $124 million of cash from warrant exercises to date, and now our cash balance is well over $200 million, which provides us greater financial flexibility and opportunities to invest in strategic growth initiatives. In addition, by invoking the cashless exercise alternative in our redemption notice, we have mitigated further dilution to our stockholders. Instead of 20 million shares being added to our Common Stock outstanding, by virtue of the cashless exercise only 15.3 million shares will be added, assuming cashless exercise of all outstanding Public Warrants. We took action on the first day allowed under the terms of the Warrant Agreement and we believe this decision will enhance long-term stockholder value.”

 

In accordance with the Warrant Agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors has elected to require that all Public Warrants be exercised on a cashless basis. Accordingly, holders may no longer exercise Public Warrants in exchange for payment in cash of the $11.50 per share exercise price. Instead, a holder exercising a Public Warrant will be deemed to pay the $11.50 exercise price by the surrender of 0.4883 of a share of common stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive upon a cash exercise of each Public Warrant. Accordingly, by virtue of the cashless exercise of the Public Warrants, exercising warrant holders will receive 0.5117 of a share of the Company’s common stock for each Public Warrant surrendered for exercise.

 

Any Public Warrants that remain unexercised immediately after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on February 16, 2021, the redemption date, will be void and no longer exercisable, and the holders of those Public Warrants will be entitled to receive only a redemption price of $0.01 per Public Warrant.

 

 

 

 

At the direction of the Company, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, in its capacity as warrant agent, has mailed a notice of redemption to each of the registered holders of the outstanding Public Warrants.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Public Warrants, the 0.4883 of a share that each exercising warrant holder will surrender by virtue of the cashless exercise (instead of paying the $11.50 per share cash exercise price) was calculated in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement by dividing the $11.50 exercise price, by $23.55, the average of the last sale price of the Company’s common stock over the ten trading days ending on January 11, 2021.

 

If any holder of Public Warrants would, after considering all of such holder’s Public Warrants exercised at one time, be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of the Company’s common stock, the number of shares the holder will be entitled to receive will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

 

Through January 13, 2021, 10,758,215 Public Warrants were exercised for cash, resulting in the Company receiving cash exercise price proceeds of $123,719,473, in the aggregate. As of January 14, 2021, there were 9,241,785 Public Warrants outstanding. Assuming that all of the Public Warrants currently outstanding are exercised on a cashless basis, the Company will have a total of 80,605,939 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the redemption date.

 

The shares of common stock underlying the Public Warrants have been registered by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are covered by a registration statement filed on Form S-1 with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration No. 333-249890).

 

Questions concerning redemption and exercise of the Public Warrants can be directed to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attention: Compliance Department, telephone number (212) 509-4000.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any offer of any of the Company’s securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Exhibit 99.2

 

 

TATTOOED CHEF, INC.

 

January 14, 2021

 

NOTICE OF REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS (CUSIP 87663X 110)

 

Dear Public Warrant Holder,

 

Tattooed Chef, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby gives notice that it is redeeming, at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on February 16, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”), all of the Company’s outstanding warrants (the “Public Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that were issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated August 2, 2018, by and between the Company’s legal predecessor company Forum Merger II Corp. (“Forum”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), as part of the units sold in Forum’s initial public offering (“IPO”) for a redemption price of $0.01 per Public Warrant (the “Redemption Price”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one share of Common Stock for a purchase price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. Any Public Warrants that remain unexercised at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date will be void and no longer exercisable and their holders will have no rights with respect to those Public Warrants, except to receive the Redemption Price or as otherwise described in this notice for holders who hold their Public Warrants in “street name.” Note that the act of exercise is VOLUNTARY, meaning holders must instruct their broker to submit their Public Warrants for exercise prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date. Warrants to purchase Common Stock that were issued under the Warrant Agreement in a private placement simultaneously with the IPO and still held by the initial holders thereof or their permitted transferees are not subject to this notice of redemption.

 

The Public Warrants are quoted on Nasdaq under the symbol “TTCFW.”

 

On January 11, 2021, the closing price of the Public Warrants was $12.40 and the closing price of the Common Stock was $23.94. As a result of the redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants, the Public Warrants will cease to be quoted on Nasdaq, effective at the close of trading on the Redemption Date.

 

 

 

 

TERMS OF REDEMPTION; CESSATION OF RIGHTS

 

The rights of the Public Warrant holders to exercise their Public Warrants will terminate immediately prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date. At 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date and thereafter, holders of unexercised Public Warrants will have no rights with respect to those warrants, except to receive, upon surrender of their Public Warrant certificates, the Redemption Price or as otherwise described in this notice for holders who hold their Public Warrants in “street name.” We encourage you to consult with your broker, financial advisor and/or tax advisor to consider whether or not to exercise your Public Warrants.

 

The Company is exercising this right to redeem the Public Warrants pursuant to Section 6 of the Warrant Agreement. Pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Warrant Agreement, the Company has the right to redeem all of the outstanding Public Warrants if the last sales price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share on each of 20 trading days within any 30 day trading period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which a notice of redemption is given. The last sales price of the Common Stock has been at least $18.00 per share on each of 20 trading days within the 30 day trading period ending on January 11, 2021 (which is the third business day prior to the date of this redemption notice).

 

EXERCISE PROCEDURE

 

Public Warrant holders have until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date to exercise their Public Warrants to purchase Common Stock. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a cash price of $11.50 per Public Warrant exercised.

 

In accordance with Section 3.3.1(b) of the Warrant Agreement, the Company’s board of directors has elected to require that, following delivery of this notice of redemption, all Public Warrants be exercised only on a cashless basis.

 

As a result of the board of directors having made this election, holders may no longer exercise Public Warrants in exchange for payment in cash of the $11.50 per share exercise price. Instead, a holder exercising a Public Warrant will be deemed to pay the $11.50 per warrant exercise price by the surrender of 0.4883 of a share of Common Stock that the holder would have been entitled to receive upon a cash exercise of each Public Warrant. Accordingly, by virtue of the cashless exercise of the Public Warrants, exercising warrant holders will receive 0.5117 of a share of Common Stock for each Public Warrant surrendered for exercise.

 

The number of shares that each exercising warrant holder will receive by virtue of the cashless exercise (instead of paying the $11.50 per share cash exercise price) was calculated in accordance with Section 3.3.1(b) of the Warrant Agreement and will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares underlying the Public Warrants held by such warrant holder, multiplied by the difference between $23.55, the average of the last sale price of the Common Stock over the ten (10) trading days ending on January 11, 2021, the third business day prior to the date of this notice (the “Fair Market Value”) and $11.50, by (y) the Fair Market Value. If any holder of Public Warrants would, after taking into account all of the holder’s Public Warrants exercised at one time, be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the number of shares the holder will be entitled to receive will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.
