Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Agreement and Plan of Merger

 

On May 9, 2021, LIV Capital Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (including the successor entity after the Domestication (as defined below), “LIVK”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AgileThought, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AT”), pursuant to which, among other things, LIVK will domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and AT will subsequently be merged with and into LIVK, whereupon the separate corporate existence of AT will cease and LIVK will be the surviving corporation, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Merger” and together with the Domestication and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “proposed business combination”). We also refer to LIVK following the proposed business combination as “Surviving Pubco.”

 

As a result of the proposed business combination, each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share and Class B ordinary share of LIVK will convert into a share of Class A common stock of Surviving Pubco (“Class A Common Stock”), and each issued and outstanding warrant to purchase Class A ordinary shares of LIVK will continue to be exercisable by its terms to purchase an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the board of directors of LIVK (the “Board”) and the board of directors of AT.

 

Merger Consideration

 

Common Merger Consideration

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate merger consideration distributable to holders of AT’s common stock at the closing of the proposed business combination (“the Closing”) pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to (i) $347,121,322 divided by (ii) $10.00. Each holder of AT’s common stock immediately prior to the Closing shall have the right to receive a proportionate interest (on a fully diluted basis as of immediately prior to the Closing) of such merger consideration.

 

Preferred Merger Consideration

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the merger consideration distributable to the LIV Capital Funds (as defined below), as holders of AT’s preferred stock, at the Closing pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of AT preferred stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing.

 

The Minimum Cash Condition

 

AT’s obligations to complete the proposed business combination are contingent upon (i) the amount of cash available to be released from LIVK’s trust account (after giving effect to all payments to be made as a result of the completion of any redemptions), plus (ii) the net amount of proceeds actually received by LIVK pursuant to the PIPE Financing (as defined below), plus (iii) $20,000,000, representing the amount of proceeds actually received by AT from certain investment funds affiliated with LIVK’s sponsor (the “LIV Capital Funds”) pursuant to that certain Equity Contribution Agreement dated as of February 2, 2021 by and among such persons and AT (collectively, “Available Cash”) being greater than or equal to $40,000,000 (the “Minimum Cash Condition”). Under the Merger Agreement, if LIVK fails to meet the Minimum Cash Condition, AT may waive such Minimum Cash Condition.

Covenants of the Parties

 

Each party agreed in the Merger Agreement to use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make the proposed business combination effective as soon as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also contains certain customary covenants by AT and LIVK during the period between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the Closing, including the conduct of their respective businesses, provision of information, maintenance of books and records, notification of certain matters, obtaining governmental consents (including making any filings required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) or any other applicable antitrust filings), terminating affiliate contracts, as well as certain customary covenants, such as publicity, some of which may continue after the termination of the Merger Agreement. Each of the parties also agreed not to solicit or enter into any alternative competing transactions during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement to the Closing. LIVK also agreed that it will ensure LIVK remains listed as a public company and that LIVK’s ordinary shares remain listed on Nasdaq, and to use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that Surviving Pubco is listed as a public company and that shares of Class A Common Stock are listed on Nasdaq as of the Closing.

 

Directors of Surviving Pubco

 

The parties agreed in the Merger Agreement to take all necessary action to cause the board of directors of Surviving Pubco as of immediately following the Closing to consist of twelve (12) directors, of whom one (1) individual will be designated by LIVK and of whom eleven (11) individuals will be designated by AT. Each AT designee will meet the director qualification and eligibility criteria of the Nominating and Corporate Governance committee of the Board, and a number of AT designees will qualify as independent directors as determined by the Board such that a majority of the directors as of immediately following the Closing will qualify as independent directors. Surviving Pubco’s board of directors will be classified with three classes of directors and the individuals in each class serving three year terms.

 

Closing Conditions

 

The obligations of the parties to complete the Closing are subject to various conditions, including customary conditions of each party and the following mutual conditions of the parties unless waived:

 

expiration of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act;

 

the Class A Common Stock contemplated to be listed pursuant to the Merger Agreement shall have been listed on Nasdaq and shall be eligible for continued listing on Nasdaq immediately following the Closing (as if it were a new initial listing by an issuer that had never been listed prior to Closing);

the approval of the LIVK shareholders with respect to the proposed business combination shall have been obtained;

upon the Closing, after giving effect to the completion of any redemptions, Surviving Pubco having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of at least $5,000,001;

 

the Domestication shall have been consummated;

Termination

 

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances, including:

 

by the written consent of AT and LIVK; or

 

by either party if: (i) the representations, warranties or covenants of the other party are breached such that there is a failure of the related closing condition (subject to a 30-day cure period); (ii) the Closing has not occurred on or before the date that is six (6) months from the date on which the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus contemplated to be filed by the Merger Agreement is initially filed by the parties with the SEC, (iii) the consummation of the proposed business combination is permanently enjoined, prohibited, deemed illegal or prevented by the terms of a final, non-appealable governmental order; or (iv) if the approval of LIVK’s shareholders with respect to the proposed business combination is not obtained upon a vote duly taken thereon at the LIVK special meeting called for such purpose (subject to any permitted adjournment or postponement of such general meeting).

 

Other General

 

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The Merger Agreement has been filed to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about LIVK or AT. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Merger Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the Merger Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in LIVK’s public disclosures.

 

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Subscription Agreements

 

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, LIVK entered into subscription agreements with certain subscription investors pursuant to which LIVK has agreed to issue and sell to the subscription investors (the “PIPE Investors”), in the aggregate, $22,500,000 of LIVK’s Class A Ordinary Shares (or 2,250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares will convert in connection with the Domestication) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Financing”). The closing of the PIPE Financing will occur immediately prior to the closing of the proposed merger of LIVK and AT, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger Agreement also provides that, as soon as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement, LIVK may enter into additional subscription agreements pursuant to which additional PIPE Investors will agree to purchase, in the aggregate, up to an additional $2,500,000 of LIVK’s Class A Ordinary Shares (or 250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares will convert in connection with the Domestication) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share as part of the PIPE Financing.

In the Voting and Support Agreements, the AT Support Agreement Equityholders agreed to vote all of their AT equity interests in favor of the Merger Agreement, the proposed business combination and related transactions and to take certain other actions in support of the Merger Agreement, the proposed business combination and related transactions. The Voting and Support Agreements also prevent the AT Support Agreement Equityholders from transferring their voting rights with respect to their AT equity interests or otherwise transferring their AT equity interests prior to the Closing, except for certain customary permitted transfers.

(“Sponsor”) and certain individuals (the “Insiders”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”) with LIVK and AT pursuant to which they agreed to vote all of their respective Class B ordinary shares of LIVK (along with the Class A Common Stock into which such shares are converted as a result of the Domestication and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Sponsor Shares”) in favor of the proposed business combination and related transactions and to take certain other actions in support of the Merger Agreement, the proposed business combination and related transactions. Sponsor and the Insiders also agreed that, in the event that the amount of Available Cash is less than $40,000,000, then up to 15% of the Sponsor Shares will be deemed to be “Deferred Sponsor Shares.” Sponsor and the Insiders also agreed that each of them will not transfer and, subject to the achievement of certain milestones, may be required to forfeit, any such Deferred Sponsor Shares, subject to the terms of the Sponsor Letter Agreement. Sponsor also waived certain anti-dilution protection to which it would otherwise be entitled in connection with the PIPE Financing.

 

Sponsor and each of the Insiders also agreed, with certain exceptions, to a lock-up for a period ending on the earlier of (a) the date that is 180 days from the Closing and (b) the date on which the closing price of shares of Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following 150 days following the date of the Closing, with respect to any securities of Surviving Pubco that they will hold as of immediately following the Closing.

 

The Sponsor Letter Agreement also provides that, for so long as Sponsor and its affiliates and their respective permitted transferees continue to own, directly or indirectly, securities of the Surviving Pubco representing more than 4% of the combined voting power of the Surviving Pubco’s then outstanding voting securities, Sponsor will be entitled to nominate one director designee to serve on the board of directors of Surviving Pubco.

Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity and sales pipeline, projections regarding clients and maintaining and growing client relationships, potential future business expansion opportunities and growth strategies, AT’s cash resources, sources of cash and indebtedness, AT’s ability to source and retain talent, the potential benefits and commercial attractiveness to its clients of AT’s services, potential results and benefits of the proposed business combination, and expectations related to the terms and timing of the proposed business combination. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of AT’s and LIVK’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of AT and LIVK. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the shareholders of LIVK or AT is not obtained; AT’s ability to execute on its business model, potential business expansion opportunities and growth strategies, retain and expand clients’ use of its services and attract new clients, and source and maintain talent; risks relating to AT’s sources of cash and cash resources; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to AT; AT’s ability to manage future growth; the effects of competition on AT’s future business; the amount of redemption requests made by LIVK’s public shareholders; the ability of LIVK or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; and those factors discussed in LIVK’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 under the heading “Risk Factors” filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021 and other documents of LIVK filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither LIVK nor AT presently know or that LIVK and AT currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect LIVK’s and AT’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. LIVK and AT anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause LIVK’s and AT’s assessments to change. However, while LIVK and AT may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, LIVK and AT specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing LIVK’s and AT’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

(b) LIVK shall, as promptly as practicable notify the Company of any correspondence with the SEC relating to the Proxy Statement, the receipt of any oral or written comments from the SEC relating to the Proxy Statement, and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Proxy Statement or for additional information.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

LIV Capital Acquisition Corp.

Pedregal No. 24, Piso 6-601
Col. Molino del Rey
México, CDMX, 11040

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

In connection with the proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) between LIV Capital Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (including any successor thereto pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, “LIVK”), and AgileThought, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AT”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Transaction Agreement”) to be entered into between LIVK and AT, LIVK is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase shares of common stock of LIVK (following the domestication of LIVK to Delaware in connection with the Transaction) (the “Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the undersigned (the “Investor”) for the subscribed Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount.” Prior to Closing, LIVK has entered and plans to enter into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (“Other Investors”), pursuant to which such other investors have agreed, or could agree, to purchase on the Closing Date (as defined below), not including the Shares subscribed for by the Investor, an aggregate amount of not less than [_________________] Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Share.

 

In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Investor and LIVK agree as follows:

 

1. Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from LIVK such number of Shares as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms provided for herein. The Investor understands and agrees that this subscription (i) is irrevocable, and (ii) may be accepted or rejected by LIVK for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance by LIVK, and the undersigned’s subscription for the Shares shall be deemed to be accepted by LIVK only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of LIVK. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in Section 9 below, in the event that the Transaction Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Investor to LIVK in connection herewith shall immediately be returned to the Investor.

 

2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to the consummation of, the Transaction (it being understood that, subject to the foregoing, such sale of the Shares shall occur after the domestication of LIVK to Delaware). Upon (i) satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below and (ii) delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) LIVK to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that LIVK reasonably expects the closing of the Transaction to occur on a specified date that is not less than four (4) business days after the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor (the “Closing Date”), the Investor shall deliver to LIVK, not less than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by LIVK in the Closing Notice, to be held in escrow until the Closing. On the Closing Date, LIVK shall issue the Shares to the Investor and subsequently cause the Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor on LIVK’s share register, and the Subscription Amount shall be released from escrow automatically and without further action by LIVK or the Investor. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day other than (a) any Saturday or Sunday or (b) any other day on which banks located in New York, New York are required or authorized by applicable law to be closed for business.

 

 

 

3. Closing Conditions.

 

a. The obligation of the parties hereto to consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement is subject to the following conditions:

 

(i) no applicable governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and

 

(ii) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction in Article 10 of the Transaction Agreement shall have been satisfied (as determined by the parties to the Transaction Agreement) or waived (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the closing of the Transaction), and the Transaction will be consummated substantially concurrently with the closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares.

 

b. The obligation of LIVK to consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares at the Closing pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by LIVK of the additional conditions that:

 

(i) all representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement are true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by the Investor of each of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date; and

 

(ii) the Investor shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing.

 

c.   The obligation of the Investor to consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares at the Closing pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by the Investor of the additional conditions that:

(i) all representations and warranties of LIVK contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by LIVK of each of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of LIVK contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date;

b. As of the Closing Date, the Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investor against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under LIVK’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as in effect as of the Closing).

d. The issuance and sale of the Shares and the compliance by LIVK with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of LIVK or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which LIVK or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which LIVK or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of LIVK is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority of LIVK to enter into and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of LIVK; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over LIVK or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of LIVK to comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement.

 

e. Prior to the domestication of LIVK to Delaware, assuming a total PIPE investment of $40.0 million in connection with the Transaction Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, $20.0 million of such aggregate amount which shall have been funded by LIV Mexico Growth Fund IV, L.P. or affiliates thereof prior to such Closing Date), the authorized capital stock of LIVK shall consist of (i) 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Shares”), and (ii) 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Shares”). As of the date hereof and immediately prior to the domestication of LIVK to Delaware in connection with the Transaction, (i) the issued and outstanding shares of LIVK shall consist of exclusively 8,050,000 Class A Shares; and (ii) there shall be 191,950,000 Class A Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants. As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, except as set forth above pursuant to the organizational documents of LIVK, the Other Subscription Agreements, and any promissory notes that may be issued by LIVK’s sponsor to LIVK for working capital purposes, and other than as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or acquire from LIVK any equity interests in LIVK, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such equity interests.

 

f. As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, LIVK has no subsidiaries and does not own, directly or indirectly, interests or investments (whether equity or debt) in any person, whether incorporated or unincorporated. As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, there are no stockholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which LIVK is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any securities of LIVK, other than (A) as set forth in LIVK’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto (the “SEC Documents”) and (B) as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, LIVK had no outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money and will not have any outstanding long-term indebtedness for borrowed money as of immediately prior to the Closing.

g. Neither LIVK, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any LIVK security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by LIVK on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the Shares under the Securities Act.

 

h. The Other Subscription Agreements have not been and shall not be amended or modified in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement.

 

i. As of the date hereof, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of LIVK, threatened, litigation, action or proceeding which, if determined adversely, would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect (as defined below). As of the date hereof, there is no unsatisfied judgment or any open injunction binding upon the LIVK, which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes herein, “Material Adverse Effect” means any event, occurrence, fact, condition or change that is, or could reasonably be expected to become, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to (a) the business, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or assets of LIVK, or (b) the ability of the LIVK to consummate the Transactions or the transactions contemplated herein on a timely basis; provided, however, that “Material Adverse Effect” shall not include any event, occurrence, fact, condition, or change, directly or indirectly, arising out of or attributable to: (i) any changes, conditions or effects in the United States economy or securities or financial markets in general; (ii) changes, conditions or effects that generally affect the industries in which the LIVK operates; (iii) any change, effect or circumstance resulting from an action required or permitted by the Transaction Agreement or this Subscription Agreement; or (iv) conditions caused by acts of terrorism or war (whether or not declared); provided further, however, that (x) any event, occurrence, fact, condition, or change referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iv) immediately above shall be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred to the extent that such event, occurrence, fact, condition, or change has a disproportionate effect on LIVK compared to other participants in the industries in which LIVK conducts its business and (y) LIVK’s ongoing review of the implications of the SEC’s issuance of the Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies, made on April 12, 2021, and any actions taken by LIVK in connection with such review or statement, shall be deemed not to be a Material Adverse Effect within the meaning of the foregoing definition.

 

j.    LIVK is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have an Material Adverse Effect. LIVK has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that alleges that LIVK is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

k. LIVK is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by LIVK of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares), other than (i) filings with the SEC, (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) filings required by the any securities exchange, and (iv) filings, the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

6. Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to LIVK that:

 

a. The Investor (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), or an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Investor is subscribing for the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, the Investor has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information on Schedule A). The Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

 

b. The Investor understands that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Investor understands that the Shares may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to LIVK or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of cases (i) and (iii) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates or book entry positions representing the Shares shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect; as a result the Investor may not be able to readily resell the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges that the Shares will not immediately be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Investor understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Shares.

 

c. The Investor understands and agrees that the Investor is purchasing the Shares from LIVK. The Investor further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to the Investor by LIVK, AT or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors, expressly or by implication, other than, in the case of LIVK, those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements included in the Subscription Agreement.

 

d. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received such information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares, including, with respect to AT, LIVK, the Transaction and the business of AT. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed LIVK’s filings with the SEC. The Investor also acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received information related to certain “disqualifying events” under Section 506(d) of the Securities Act. The Investor represents and agrees that the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Investor and such Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.

The Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Shares, nor were the Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means. The Investor acknowledges that the Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, AT, LIVK, the Placement Agent or its respective affiliates or any of its or their control persons, officers, directors, employees or representatives), other than the representations and warranties of LIVK contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in LIVK. The Investor further acknowledges that the Placement Agent has not made, do not make and shall not be deemed to make any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to LIVK, AT, this offering or the Transaction.

 

f. The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in LIVK’s filings with the SEC. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and the Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

 

g. Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in LIVK. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

 

h. In making its decision to purchase the Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Investor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates or any of their control persons, officers, directors, employees or representatives concerning AT, LIVK, the Transaction, the Transaction Agreement, the Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Shares or the offer and sale of the Shares.

The signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory, if the Investor is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if the Investor is not an individual the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

 

l. The Investor is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required by applicable law, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Investor and used to purchase the Shares were legally derived.

8

 

 

o. In connection with the issue and purchase of the Shares, the Placement Agent has not acted as the Investor’s financial advisor or fiduciary and the Investor has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Shares.

 

p. The Investor has or has commitments to have, and at the Closing will have, sufficient funds to pay the Subscription Amount and consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares when required pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

 

q. The Investor represents and warrants that its acquisition and holding of the Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any applicable similar law.

 

r. If the Investor is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the Code or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws”), or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, Investor represents and warrants that neither LIVK, nor any of its respective affiliates (the “Investor Parties”) has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Shares, and none of the Investor Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Shares.

7. Registration Rights

 

a. In the event that the Shares are not registered for resale by the Investor in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, LIVK agrees that, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction), it will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering such resales (the “Registration Statement”), and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. LIVK agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the fourth anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Investor can sell all of its Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act within 90 days without limitation as to the amount of such securities that may be sold. The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to LIVK upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. The Investor agrees that LIVK may suspend the use of any such registration statement (a “Suspension Event”), for a continuous period of up to 60 days not more than twice in any 12-month period, if it determines that in order for such registration statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, or in connection with any post-effective amendment to such registration statement. Upon receipt of any written notice from LIVK of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which LIVK agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by LIVK that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by LIVK unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. LIVK’s obligations to include the Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to LIVK such information regarding the Investor, the securities of LIVK held by the Investor, the intended method of disposition of such Shares and any other information as shall be reasonably requested by LIVK to effect the registration of such Shares, and the Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as LIVK may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

 

b. In the case of the registration effected by LIVK pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, LIVK shall, upon reasonable request, inform Investor as to the status of such registration. If the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. At its expense LIVK shall:

 

(i) except for such times as LIVK is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which LIVK determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Investor;

 

10

 

 

(ii) advise Investor within five (5) Business Days:

 

(1) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

 

(2) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

 

(3) of the receipt by LIVK of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

 

(4) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, LIVK:

 

(1) shall not, when so advising Investor of such events, provide Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding LIVK other than to the extent that providing notice to Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in Section 7.b(ii) constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding LIVK;

 

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

 

(3) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 7.b(ii)(4), except for such times as LIVK is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, LIVK shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

 

11

 

 

(4) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which LIVK’s Shares are then listed.

 

c. LIVK agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to LIVK by or on behalf of Investor expressly for use therein or Investor has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any other law, rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7.c shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of LIVK (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall LIVK be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Investor, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by LIVK in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized in writing by LIVK, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Investor in violation of the provisions hereof. LIVK shall notify Investor promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which LIVK is aware.

 

d. Investor agrees, severally and not jointly with any person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, LIVK, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls LIVK (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any and all Losses, as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arising out of or relating to any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7.d shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the liability of Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Investor upon the sale of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

12

 

 

e. Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

f. The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

 

g. If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses 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.

(a) The Equityholder will not, and will cause its Representatives to not, disclose or use at any time, any Confidential Information of which the Equityholder or such Representative, as applicable, is or becomes aware, whether or not such information is developed by the Equityholder or any of its Representatives, except to the extent that such disclosure or use is directly related to and required by the Equityholder’s or its Representatives’ performance in good faith of duties assigned to the Equityholder or its Representatives by the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The Equityholder and its Representatives will take all appropriate steps to safeguard Confidential Information in its possession and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information to the extent necessary in connection with the defense of any Action involving the Equityholder or its Representatives (provided, that the Equityholder or such Representative, as applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that confidential treatment is afforded to such Confidential Information). The obligations in this Section 11 will not (x) prohibit the Equityholder from disclosing Confidential Information to its Representatives who have a reasonable need to know such information in connection with their role as a Representative of the Equityholder or (y) apply to any Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed by the Equityholder or its Representatives pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order of any administrative body or court of competent jurisdiction or other legal process; provided that (i) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, is given reasonable prior written notice, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Equityholder cooperates (and causes its Representatives to cooperate) with any reasonable request of the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, to seek to prevent or narrow such disclosure and (iii) if after compliance with clauses ‎(i) and ‎(ii) such disclosure is still required, the Equityholder and its Representatives only disclose such portion of the Confidential Information that is expressly required by such legal process, as such requirement may be subsequently narrowed.

Confidential Information will not be deemed to have been published or otherwise disclosed merely because individual portions of the information have been separately published, but only if all material features comprising such information have been published in combination.

 

Section 12. Remedies. The Equityholder acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the business and interests of the Company, LIVK, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates and that any breach of these covenants would cause substantial irreparable injury. Accordingly, the Equityholder agrees that a remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement would be inadequate and that the Company, LIVK, their Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates, in addition to any other remedies available, shall be entitled to obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to secure specific performance of such covenants and to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Agreement without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting a bond or other security. The Equityholder will be responsible for any breach or violation of this Agreement by its Representatives. The occurrence of the Closing will not relieve the Equityholder of any obligation or liability arising from any breach by the Equityholder of this Agreement prior to the Closing.

Section 13. Severability. Each provision of this Agreement is separable from every other provision of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is found or held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, by a court of competent jurisdiction, then (i) such provision will be deemed amended to conform to applicable laws so as to be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest possible extent, (ii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision under any other circumstances or in any other jurisdiction, and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of such provision or the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, if any covenant of the Equityholder in this Agreement is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant shall be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, shall be effective, binding and enforceable against the Equityholder.

Any extension or waiver in favor of the Equityholder of any provision hereto shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by LIVK and the Company; and provided, that any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

Section 17. Trust Account Waiver. The Equityholder acknowledges that LIVK is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Business Combination. The Equityholder further acknowledges that, as described in the prospectus dated December 10, 2019 (the “Prospectus”), substantially all of LIVK’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of LIVK’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of LIVK, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of LIVK’s initial public offering. The Equityholder acknowledges that it has been advised by LIVK that, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to LIVK to pay its income and franchise Taxes, the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only (i) if LIVK completes the transactions which constitute a Business Combination, then to those Persons and in such amounts as described in the Prospectus; and (ii) if LIVK fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period and liquidates, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement and the LIVK Governing Document, to LIVK to permit LIVK to pay the costs and expenses of its dissolution, and then to LIVK’s public shareholders. For and in consideration of LIVK entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Equityholder hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agree not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, contracts or agreements with LIVK or any other Person; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 17 shall amend, limit, alter, change, supersede or otherwise modify the right of the Equityholder to (A) bring any action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief or (B) bring or seek a claim for Damages against LIVK, or any of its successors or assigns, for any breach of this Agreement (but such claim shall not be against the Trust Account or any funds distributed from the Trust Account to holders of LIVK Ordinary Shares in accordance with the LIVK Governing Document and the Trust Agreement).

 

14

 

 

Section 18. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (i) one or more of its Affiliates at any time and (ii) after the Effective Time, to any Person; provided that no such transfer or assignment shall relieve such party of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other Party.

 

Section 19. Trusts. If applicable, for purposes of this Agreement, the Equityholder with respect to any Subject Securities held in trust shall be deemed to be the relevant trust and/or the trustees thereof acting in their capacities as such trustees, in each case as the context may require, including for purposes of such trustees’ representations and warranties as to the proper organization of the trust, their power and authority as trustees and the non-contravention of the trust’s governing instruments.

 

Section 20. Amendments. This Agreement may only be amended or modified by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Equityholder, LIVK and the Company.

 

15

 

 

Section 21. Notices. All notices and other communications among the parties hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered in person, (b) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (c) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (d) when delivered by email or other electronic transmission (in each case in this clause (d), solely if receipt is confirmed), addressed as follows:

Re: Sponsor Letter Agreement

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of 9, 2021 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among LIV Capital Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Island exempted company (including any successor entity thereto, including upon the Domestication, “LIVK”) and AgileThought, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Any capitalized term used in this Sponsor Letter Agreement (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”) but not defined herein will have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

 

LIV Capital Acquisition Sponsor, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Sponsor”) was, as of May 7, 2021, the record and beneficial owner of 2,012,500 shares of LIVK Class B Common Stock (including the shares of Surviving Pubco Common Stock into which such shares are converted as a result of the Domestication and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Founder Shares”). Following a transfer of certain of the Founder Shares by Sponsor to the Insiders, as of the date hereof, (i) Alexander R. Rossi (“Rossi”) is the record and beneficial owner of 275,588 Founder Shares (the “Rossi-Held Founder Shares”), (ii) Humberto Zesati (“Zesati”) is the record and beneficial owner of 337,255 Founder Shares (the “Zesati-Held Founder Shares”) and (iii) Miguel Ángel Dávila (together with Rossi and Zesati, the “Insiders”) is the record and beneficial owner of 333,921 Founder Shares (together with the Rossi-Held Founder Shares and the Zesati-Held Founder Shares, the “Insider-Held Founder Shares”).

 

 

 

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Sponsor, the Company, LIVK and the Insiders agree as follows:

 

1. Redemption and Voting.

 

(a) Sponsor and the Insiders agree that if LIVK seeks shareholder approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Sponsor and the Insiders shall not redeem any Founder Shares owned by them in connection with shareholder approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Proposed Transaction”).

 

(b) Prior to the earlier of (x) date on which this Sponsor Letter Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and (y) the Closing (the “Voting Period”), at each meeting of the holders of LIVK Ordinary Shares (the “LIVK Shareholders”), and in each written consent or resolutions of any of the LIVK Shareholders in which Sponsor and the Insiders are entitled to vote or consent, Sponsor and each of the Insiders hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to be present for such meeting and vote (in person or by proxy), or consent to any action by written consent or resolution with respect to, as applicable, the Founder Shares held by them or other equity interests of LIVK entitled to vote over which they have voting power (i) in favor of, and to adopt and approve, as applicable, the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) in favor of the other matters set forth in the Merger Agreement to the extent required for LIVK to carry out its obligations thereunder, and (iii) in opposition to: (A) any Acquisition Transaction and any and all other proposals (1) that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of LIVK to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (2) which are in competition with or materially inconsistent with the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (B) any other action or proposal involving LIVK or any of its Subsidiaries that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect in any material respect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to LIVK’s obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled.

 

(c) Sponsor and each of the Insiders agrees not to deposit, and to cause its Affiliates not to deposit, any Founder Shares held by them in a voting trust or subject any Founder Shares held by them to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Founder Shares, unless specifically requested to do so by the Company and LIVK in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

(d) Sponsor and each Insider agrees, except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, not to make, or in any manner participate in, directly or indirectly, a “solicitation” of “proxies” or consents (as such terms are used in the rules of the SEC) or powers of attorney or similar rights to vote, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of, any equity interests of LIVK in connection with any vote or other action with respect to transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, other than to recommend that the LIVK Shareholders vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby (and any actions required in furtherance thereof and otherwise as expressly provided in this Section 1).

 

2

 

 

(e) Sponsor and each Insider agrees that during the Voting Period it shall not, without LIVK’s and the Company’s prior written consent, (i) make or attempt to make any Transfer of Founder Shares except to an Affiliate who signs a joinder to this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to LIVK and the Company agreeing to be bound by this Section 1; (ii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any or all of the Founder Shares held by them; or (iii) take any action with the intent to prevent, impede, interfere with or adversely affect Sponsor’s or any of the Insiders’ ability to perform its obligations under this Section 1. LIVK hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company in enforcing the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 1.

 

(f) In the event of any equity dividend or distribution, or any change in the equity interests of LIVK by reason of any equity dividend or distribution, equity split, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of equity interests or the like, the term “Founder Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Founder Shares as well as all such equity dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Founder Shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

 

(g) During the Voting Period, Sponsor and each Insider agrees to provide to LIVK, the Company and their respective Representatives any information regarding Sponsor or the Founder Shares held by them that is reasonably requested by LIVK, the Company or their respective Representatives and required in order for the Company and LIVK to comply with Sections 9.04, 9.05 and 9.08 of the Merger Agreement. To the extent required by Applicable Law, Sponsor and each Insider hereby authorizes the Company and LIVK to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC, Nasdaq or the Registration Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC in connection with the foregoing), Sponsor’s and the Insiders’ identity and ownership of Founder Shares and the nature of Sponsor’s and the Insiders’ commitments and agreements under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and any other Ancillary Agreements; provided that such publication or disclosure is made in compliance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement.

 

2. Deferred Founder Shares.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Merger Agreement, each of the Insiders agrees as follows:

 

(i) if Available Cash is greater than $50,000,000, then no Founder Shares shall be deemed to be “Deferred Founder Shares” and Sections 2 through 6 hereof shall be void and of no force or effect;

 

3

 

 

(ii) if Available Cash is less than Minimum Cash, then a number of the Insider-Held Founder Shares equal to 20% of the Founder Shares shall be deemed to be “Deferred Founder Shares” for purposes hereof; and

 

(iii) if Available Cash is equal to or greater than Minimum Cash but less than or equal to $50,000,000, then a number of the Insider-Held Founder Shares equal to a portion of 20% of the Founder Shares (such portion of 20% the Founder Shares to be an amount increasing linearly from 0% of the Founder Shares if Available Cash is $50,000,000 to 20% of the Founder Shares if Available Cash is equal to Minimum Cash) shall be deemed to be “Deferred Founder Shares” for purposes hereof.

 

(b) If any Founder Shares shall be required, pursuant to Section 2(a), to deemed to be Deferred Founder Shares, one-third of such aggregate number of Deferred Founder Shares shall be allocated to each Insider (provided that, in any event, the aggregate number of Deferred Founder Shares specified to be held by each of the Insiders pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall equal, in the aggregate, the number of Founder Shares required to be deemed Deferred Founder Shares pursuant to Section 2(a)).

 

(c) Each Insider agrees that it shall not Transfer any Deferred Founder Shares if and until such time, in any case on or before the third anniversary of the Closing (the three year period between the Closing and the third anniversary of the Closing, the “Deferred Founder Shares Lock-up Period”), that the last sale price as reported on Nasdaq of shares of Surviving Pubco Common Stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, special cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the Surviving Pubco Common Stock) for twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period occurring after the Closing (the “Price Condition”).

 

3. The certificates evidencing the Deferred Founder Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREIN ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS, SET FORTH IN THE SPONSOR LETTER AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 9, 2021, BY AND AMONG THE HOLDER HEREOF AND THE OTHER PARTIES THERETO.

 

4. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 2, Transfers of any Deferred Founder Shares, are permitted (a) to each Insider’s Affiliates or family members; and (b) to any Affiliates or other equityholders of the Sponsor; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) and (b), for such Transfer to be effective, these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with Surviving Pubco agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions and other provisions contained in this Sponsor Letter Agreement.

 

4

 

 

5. Forfeiture of Founder Shares. In the event of the failure to achieve the Price Condition with respect to the Deferred Founder Shares on or prior to the completion of the Deferred Founder Shares Lock-up Period, as set forth in Section 2 above (the first Business Day following the end of such period, the “Forfeiture Date”), the Deferred Founder Shares shall be forfeited and transferred to Surviving Pubco by the holder that Beneficially Owns such Deferred Founder Shares, by no later than 10 Business Days after the Forfeiture Date, without any consideration for such Transfer (“Forfeited Shares”).

 

6. The Deferred Founder Shares that are subject to the achievement of the Price Condition shall cease to be subject to Transfer restrictions or forfeiture upon the first to occur of any of the following:

 

(a) if Surviving Pubco shall engage in a “going private” transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise cease to be subject to reporting obligations under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

 

(b) if Surviving Pubco Common Stock shall cease to be listed on a national securities exchange, other than for the failure to satisfy: (i) any applicable minimum listing requirements, including minimum round lot holder requirements, of such national securities exchange; or (ii) a minimum price per share requirement of such national securities exchange;

 

(c) if any of the following shall occur:

 

(i) there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Surviving Pubco with any other corporation or other entity, and, immediately after the consummation of such merger or consolidation, either (x) the Surviving Pubco board of directors immediately prior to the merger or consolidation does not constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the company surviving the merger or, if the surviving company is a Subsidiary, the ultimate parent entity thereof, or (y) the voting securities of the Surviving Pubco immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not continue to represent or are not converted into more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Person resulting from such merger or consolidation or, if the surviving company is a Subsidiary, the ultimate parent entity thereof; or

 

(ii) the shareholders of the Surviving Pubco approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Surviving Pubco or there is consummated an agreement or series of related agreements for the sale, lease or other disposition, directly or indirectly, by the Surviving Pubco of all or substantially all of the assets of Surviving Pubco and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than such sale or other disposition by the Surviving Pubco of all or substantially all of the assets of the Surviving Pubco and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to an entity at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by shareholders of the Surviving Pubco in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Surviving Pubco immediately prior to such sale; or

 

5

 

 

(iii) any Person or any group of Persons acting together which would constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions thereto (excluding a corporation or other entity owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Surviving Pubco in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Surviving Pubco) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Surviving Pubco representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Surviving Pubco’s then outstanding voting securities.

 

7. From and after the Closing and until such time as Sponsor and its Affiliates and their respective Permitted Transferees (as defined herein) cease to be the Beneficial Owners, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Surviving Pubco representing more than 4% of the combined voting power of the Surviving Pubco’s then outstanding voting securities, Sponsor shall be entitled to nominate one director designee to serve on the board of directors of Surviving Pubco. Surviving Pubco shall (i) include such director designee in its slate of nominees for election to the board of directors of Surviving Pubco at each annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Surviving Pubco at which the seat held by the director designee previously nominated by the Sponsor is subject to election and (ii) recommend that Surviving Pubco’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of such director designee at such annual or special meeting of Surviving Pubco’s stockholders and shall otherwise support such director designee in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which Surviving Pubco supports its other nominees. Surviving Pubco and the board of directors of Surviving Pubco shall take all necessary actions to ensure that, at all times when a director designee is eligible to be appointed or nominated hereunder, there are sufficient vacancies on the board of directors of Surviving Pubco to permit such designation. For the avoidance of doubt, Sponsor shall not be required to comply with the advance notice provisions generally applicable to the nomination of directors by Surviving Pubco so long as Sponsor provides reasonable advance notice to Surviving Pubco of its director designee prior to the mailing of the applicable proxy statement by Surviving Pubco (provided that Surviving Pubco shall provide reasonable advance notice to Sponsor of the expected mailing date of such proxy).

 

8. Pursuant to Section 17.4 of the LIVK Governing Document, the Sponsor and the Insiders, in their capacity as the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Founder Shares, hereby waive the adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio (as defined in the LIVK Governing Document) that would otherwise apply pursuant to Section 17.3 of the LIVK Governing Document as a result of the issuance of shares of Surviving Pubco Common Stock in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement pursuant to the PIPE Financing and the conversion at Closing of the Company’s convertible preferred stock issued in connection with the investment described in clause (iii) of the definition of “Available Cash” in the Merger Agreement (the “Conversion”) such that the shares of Surviving Pubco Common Stock issued pursuant to the PIPE Financing and the Conversion are excluded from the determination of the number of shares of Surviving Pubco Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares pursuant to Section 17.3 of the LIVK Governing Document. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing waiver does not waive the Sponsor’s rights under Section 17.8 of the LIVK Governing Document, which provides that in no event may any Founder Share convert into shares of Surviving Pubco Common Stock at a ratio that is less than one-for-one.

 

6

 

 

9. As used herein, (a) “Beneficially Own” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Exchange Act; and (b) “Transfer” shall mean the (i) direct or indirect transfer, sale or assignment of, offer to sell, contract or any agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, encumber grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of, either voluntarily or involuntarily, or any agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (ii) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (b)(i) or (b)(ii).

 

10. Restriction on Sale of Securities.

 

(a) Subject to, and conditioned upon the occurrence and effective as of, the Effective Time, Section 6 of that certain letter agreement dated as of December 10, 2019 and executed by LIVK, Sponsor, the Insiders and certain other parties thereto shall be amended and restated to provide in its entirety as follows: “[Reserved].”

 

(b) Each of Sponsor and the Insiders hereby agrees and covenants that, such Person will not, during the period from the date of the Closing and ending on the earlier of (A) the date that is 180 days following the date of the Closing or (B) the date on which the closing price of shares of common stock of the Surviving Pubco on Nasdaq equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following 150 days following the date of the Closing (the “Lock-Up Period”), Transfer any equity interests of Surviving Pubco (including shares of Surviving Pubco Common Stock) received or retained as consideration under the Merger Agreement, including securities held in escrow or otherwise issued or delivered after the Closing pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and any other equity interests of Surviving Pubco Beneficially Owned by such Person (collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) (a “Prohibited Transfer”). If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Sponsor Letter Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and the Surviving Pubco shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 10, the Surviving Pubco may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of each of the Sponsor and the Insiders until the end of the Lock-Up Period, as well as include customary legends on any certificates for any of the Restricted Securities reflecting the restrictions under this Section 10.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 10(b), the following Transfers of Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period are permitted: (i) to the Surviving Pubco’s officers or directors, or any Affiliates or family members of any of the Surviving Pubco’s officers or directors; (ii) in the case of an individual, Transfers by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family, or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, Transfers by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, Transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) in the case of an entity, Transfers to a stockholder, partner, member or Affiliate of such entity; (vi) in the case of an entity, Transfers by virtue of the laws of the state of the entity’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity; (vii) transactions relating to Surviving Pubco Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Surviving Pubco Common Stock acquired in open market transactions after the Closing, provided that no such transaction is required to be, or is, publicly announced (whether on Form 4, Form 5 or otherwise, other than a required filing on Schedule 13F, 13G or 13G/A) during the Lock-Up Period; (viii) the exercise of any options or warrants to purchase Surviving Pubco Common Stock (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis); (ix) Transfers to the Surviving Corporation to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to the Surviving Corporation’s equity incentive plans or arrangements; (x) the entry, by the applicable holder of the Restricted Securities that is party hereto, at any time after the Closing, of any trading plan providing for the sale of Surviving Pubco Common Stock by such holder, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided, however, that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any Surviving Pubco Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period and no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the Lock-Up Period; (xi) transactions in the event of the Surviving Pubco’s completion of a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the equityholders of the Surviving Company or Surviving Pubco, as applicable, having the right to exchange their equity interests of Surviving Pubco for cash, securities or other property; (xii) Transfers by a party hereto in sell-to-cover transactions to satisfy tax obligations of such party in connection with such party’s receipt of Surviving Pubco Common Stock following the vesting and settlement of Company RSUs, if applicable; provided, however, that, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) and (xii), for such Transfer to be effective, the transferee must enter into a written agreement with the Surviving Pubco agreeing to be bound by this Section 10. The transferees with respect to any of the Transfers described in clauses (i) through (vi) of the preceding sentence are referred to herein as “Permitted Transferees.”

 

7

 

 

(d) For purposes of this Section 10, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the applicable party hereto; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

11. This Sponsor Letter Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Sponsor Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by LIVK, or after the Closing, Surviving Pubco and, before the Closing, the Company and the other parties charged with such change, amendment, modification or waiver, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Company’s execution of such an instrument will not be required after a termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing.

 

12. No party hereto may, except as set forth herein, assign either this Sponsor Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee.

2.1.5 Demand Registration Withdrawal. Any Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder shall have the right in their sole discretion to withdraw from a Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration or an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting Request for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior (x) in the case of a Demand Registration not involving an Underwritten Offering, to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration or (y) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that upon withdrawal by a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration or Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting Request, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or complete the Underwritten Offering, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting Request prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.5.

 

2.1.6 Shelf Registration. The Company shall file within forty-five (45) days of Closing, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter and no later than the earlier of (x) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the filing date and (y) the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review , a Registration Statement for a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”) or, if the Company is eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-3, a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf” and together with the Form S-1 Shelf, each a “Shelf”), in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two Business Days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective and available for use to permit all Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities, subject in each case to the provisions of this Agreement that permit the Company to suspend the use of the Registration Statement in the circumstances, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth in those provisions. If, at any time the Company shall have qualified for the use of a Form S-3 Shelf or any other form which permits incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the Commission and at such time the Company has an outstanding Form S-1 Shelf, then the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practical, convert such outstanding Form S-1 Shelf into a Form S-3 Shelf. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent there is an effective Shelf under this subsection 2.1.6, covering a Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities, such Holder or Holders shall not have rights to make a Demand Registration with respect to subsection 2.1.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent there is an effective Shelf under this subsection 2.1.6, covering a Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities, and such Holder or Holders qualify as Demanding Holders pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and wish to request an Underwritten Offering from such Shelf (a “Shelf Underwriting Request”), such Underwritten Offering shall follow the procedures of subsection 2.1, (including subsection 2.1.3 and subsection 2.1.4) but such Underwritten Offering (including, for purposes of clarity, any Underwritten Block Trade) shall be made from the Shelf and shall count against the number of Demand Registrations that may be made pursuant to subsection 2.1.1; provided that, in the event that the Underwritten Offering is being made from a Form S-3 Shelf, (i) the period of time for the Company to notify all other Holders of Registrable Securities of the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration shall be reduced from ten (10) days (as set forth in subsection 2.1.1) to two (2) Business Days and (ii) the period of time that the Holders have to respond to such notice shall be reduced from five (5) Business Days (as set forth in subsection 2.1.1) to three (3) Business Days. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in an underwritten block trade or similar underwritten transaction with a 2 day or less marketing period (collectively, “Underwritten Block Trade”) off of a Form S-3 Shelf, then notwithstanding the time periods provided for herein, such Demanding Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Underwritten Block Trade two (2) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Holders of other Registrable Securities shall not be entitled to notice of such Underwritten Block Trade and shall not be entitled to participate in such Underwritten Block Trade; provided, however, that the Demanding Holder requesting such Underwritten Block Trade shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company beginning at least ten (10) days prior to notifying the Company of its request for an Underwritten Block Trade in order to facilitate preparation of the Registration Statement (if applicable), prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Underwritten Block Trade.

2.1.8 Holder Information Required for Participation in Underwritten Offering. At least five (5) 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 second (2nd) Business Day prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Article II.

 

2.2 Piggyback Registration.

 

2.2.1 Piggyback Rights.

All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.

 

2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of the shares of Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has so requested to be included in such Registration, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

 

(b) If the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Registration, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

 

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

 

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof or an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting Request effected under subsection 2.1.6.

 

10

 

 

2.3 Registrations on Form S-3. The Holders of Registrable Securities may at any time, and from time to time, to the extent that their Registrable Securities are not covered by an effective Shelf, request in writing that the Company, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), register the resale of any or all of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-3”). Within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of a written request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration on Form S-3 to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration on Form S-3 shall so notify the Company, in writing, within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. As soon as practicable thereafter, but not more than seventeen (17) days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall register all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request, together with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in the written notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof if (i) a Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $10,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent there is an effective Form S-3 under this subsection 2.3, covering a Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities, such Holder or Holders shall not have rights to make a Demand Registration with respect to subsection 2.1.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent there is an effective Form S-3 under this section 2.3, covering a Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities, and such Holder or Holders qualify as Demanding Holders pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and wish to request a Shelf Underwriting Request, such Underwritten Offering shall follow the procedures of subsection 2.1.6, but such Underwritten Offering shall be made from the Form S-3 and shall count against the number of Demand Registrations that may be made pursuant to subsection 2.1.1

 

2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (A) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 or a Shelf Underwriting Request pursuant to subsection 2.1.6 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period.

 

2.5 Lock-Up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Underwritten Offering, Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration of any Registrable Securities subject to the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period prior to the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period applicable to such shares of Common Stock. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall limit the Company’s obligation to register all of the Registrable Securities, including such shares of Common Stock subject to the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period, on the Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2.1.6.

ARTICLE III
COMPANY PROCEDURES

 

3.1 General Procedures. If at any time on or after the date the Company consummates the Business Combination the Company is required to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

 

3.1.1 prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold;

 

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 Holder with Registrable Securities registered on such Registration Statement with respect to such Holder’s selling stockholder information or otherwise by the majority-in-interest of the Holders 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;

 

3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;

 

3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

 

12

 

 

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

3.1.6 provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

 

3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

 

3.1.8 at least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or promptly upon filing, with respect to any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus (unless such document is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system)), furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities and its counsel, including, without limitation, providing copies promptly upon receipt of any comment letters received with respect to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus. The Company shall not include the name of any Holder or any information regarding any Holder in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any response to any comment letter, without the prior written consent of such Holder and providing each such Holder or its counsel a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on such applicable document, which comments the Company shall include unless contrary to applicable law or the Company reasonably expects that so doing would cause the Prospectus to contain an 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 (it being understood and agreed that (a) if the Company complies with its obligations under this sentence and the Holder does not provide the applicable prior written consent, the omission of such Holder and its Registrable Securities from any such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not be deemed a breach by the Company of any other provision of this Agreement and (b) the Company will not be obligated to obtain a prior written consent with respect to the name of any Holder or any information regarding such Holder that such Holder has previously consented to for inclusion in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement to any Registration Statement or Prospectus with respect to any subsequent filing containing the same or substantially similar information);

 

3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;

 

13

 

 

3.1.10 permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

 

3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants (and the independent registered public accountants of any entity whose financial statements are included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus) in the event of an Underwritten Registration, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

 

3.1.12 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;

 

3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;

 

3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

 

3.1.15 if the Registration involves an Underwritten Offering involving gross proceeds in excess of $10,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter thereof; and

 

3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

 

14

 

 

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations and Underwritten Offerings shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

 

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 he, she or 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 he, she or 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 thirty (30) consecutive days or ninety (90) days in any rolling 12-month period, 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.

 

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 and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings (it being understood that the availability of such filings on the Commission’s EDGAR system shall satisfy this requirement). 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 Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any reasonably requested 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.

 

15

 

 

3.6 Lock-Up Restrictions.

 

3.6.1 During the Founder Shares Lock-up Period or Private Placement Lock-up Period (together, the “Lock-up Periods” and, each a “Lock-up Period”), as applicable, none of the 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 a Permitted Transferee, 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 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 existing Holder to comply with the foregoing restrictions. Each existing 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 agents 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.

 

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 or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the 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, but only to the extent that such untrue or alleged 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.

 

16

 

 

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 (plus 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; 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.

5.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

5.2.1 This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part.

 

5.2.2 Prior to the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-up Period or the Private Placement Lock-up Period, as the case may be, any Holder of Restricted Securities may not assign or delegate such Holder’s rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, except in connection with a transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder to a Permitted Transferee, but only if such Permitted Transferee agrees to become bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement and other applicable agreements.

In connection with the Transaction, the lenders under AgileThought’s second lien credit facility have agreed to convert approximately $38 million of principal and accrued interest outstanding under that facility into shares of Class A common stock of the combined company immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, subject to customary conditions.

 

All Transaction proceeds, after payment of expenses related to the Transaction, will be used to repay AgileThought first lien credit facility of approximately $97 million currently outstanding, until any additional repayments would result in AgileThought’s cash, plus any LIVK working capital funds, being less than $15 million, with any proceeds remaining after those uses being available for the combined company’s general corporate purposes.

 

Existing AgileThought shareholders (including the lenders under AgileThought’s convertible second lien credit facility, after giving effect to the conversion) will rollover 100% of their equity stake and will remain majority owners of the combined company with approximately 70.7% of the combined company’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock at closing, assuming no public shareholders of LIVK exercise their redemption rights. LIVK’s public shareholders and PIPE investors will own approximately 25.2%, and LIVK’s sponsor will own approximately 4.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock of the combined company at closing.

 

AgileThought’s management team will continue to lead the combined company following the transaction. Manuel Senderos will serve as Chairman and CEO of the combined company and Alex Rossi will become a director of the combined company’s Board of Directors.

 

The Transaction, which was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both AgileThought and LIVK, is subject to approval by LIVK’s shareholders, the conversion under AgileThought’s second lien credit facility having occurred and other customary closing conditions. The Transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021.

 

A more detailed description of the Transaction terms and a copy of the Agreement and Plan of Merger will be included in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed by LIVK with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the projected financial information contained in this presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved . Neither of the independent registered public accounting firms of AgileThought or LIVK have audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation .

 

 

Disclaimer (cont.) 3 Non - GAAP Financial Measures Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as PF Revenue, PF Gross Profit, PF Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, PF Adjusted EBITDA, PF Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow Conversion and the financial information included in AgileThought’s long - term target operating model, have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) . PF Revenue is defined as GAAP revenue plus adjustments for acquired businesses and less adjustments for divested or discontinued businesses . PF Gross Profit is defined as GAAP gross profit plus adjustments for acquired businesses and less adjustments for divested or discontinued businesses . PF Gross Profit Margin is defined as PF Gross Profit divided by PF Revenue . Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net profit/(loss) plus income tax expense/(benefit), plus other interest expense, net, plus other expense/(income), plus impairment losses, plus depreciation and amortization plus stock - based compensation expense . Adjusted EBITDA Margin (for 2021 and 2022 ) is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by GAAP revenue . PF Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA plus adjustments for acquired businesses and less adjustments for divested or discontinued businesses . PF Adjusted EBITDA Margin (for 2018 , 2019 and 2020 ) is defined as PF Adjusted EBITDA divided by PF Revenue . Free Cash Flow Conversion (for 2022 ) is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less GAAP Capital Expenditures divided by Adjusted EBITDA . LIV and AgileThought believe these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to AgileThought’s financial condition and results of operations . LIVK and AgileThought believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating actual and projected operating results and trends in and in comparing AgileThought’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors . Neither LIVK nor AgileThought considers these non - GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP . The principal limitation of these non - GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and other amounts that are required by GAAP to be recorded in AgileThought’s financial statements and include the effects of certain acquisitions and dispositions as if those acquisitions and dispositions had all occurred at the beginning of the applicable reporting period . In addition, these non - GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and other amounts are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures . In order to compensate for these limitations, AgileThought presents non - GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results . AgileThought is not providing a reconciliation of the financial information included in AgileThought’s long - term target operating model to the most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP because AgileThought is unable to provide this reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the anticipated expense related to such projections, which is variable . You should review AgileThought’s audited financial statements, which will be included in the registration statement relating to the proposed business combination . Important Additional Information And Where To Find It This communication is being made in respect of the proposed business combination involving LIVK and AgileThought .
