EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-264216) (this “Amendment No. 5”) is being filed solely to file certain exhibits to the Registration Statement. This Amendment No. 5 does not modify any provision of the joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus contained in Part I. Accordingly, the joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement /prospectus has been omitted.
PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
Delwinds’ amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL, and Delwinds’ bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL.
In addition, effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, as defined in Part I of this registration statement, Delwinds has entered or will enter into indemnification agreements with directors, officers, and some employees containing provisions which are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements will require Delwinds, among other things, to indemnify its directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

Item 22. Undertakings.
(a) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: |
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
i. | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
ii. | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; |
iii. | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
II-3
(5) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
i. | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
ii. | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
iii. | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
iv. | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
(6) | That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form. |
(7) | That every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(8) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the undersigned in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the undersigned will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
(c) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request. |
(b) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective. |

Exhibit 10.9
FOXO TECHNOLOGIES INC.
MANAGEMENT CONTINGENT SHARE PLAN
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Company’s Merger Agreement with Delwinds Insurance Acquisition Corp. (“Delwinds”), the Company is required to establish the Plan and allocate a specified amount of merger consideration to accomplish the purpose of the Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby adopts the Plan effective as of the Effective Date, as follows:
1. Purpose. The Company desires to establish the Plan to secure and retain the services of certain key employees and service providers and incent such key employees and service providers to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and its Affiliates.
2. Eligibility and Participation in this Plan. The Persons eligible to receive Awards are the selected Employees, Consultants and Directors of the Company and its Affiliates, who will be selected to be Participants by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors as in effect prior to the Merger Closing (the “Pre-Merger Compensation Committee”) in its sole discretion. Upon designating a Person as a Participant, the Pre-Merger Compensation Committee will grant to such individual a Restricted Share Award.
3. Awards and Shares Issuable under the Plan. The Company agrees to make available for transfer to Participants a total of 9,200,000 Shares, all of which are eligible to be issued pursuant to Restricted Share Awards (the “Restricted Share Pool”) upon the Merger Closing.
4. Grant of Awards; Notice of Grant. Each Award shall be evidenced by a Notice of Grant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Each Notice of Grant shall set forth any additional and applicable vesting terms, distribution terms, and forfeiture terms not otherwise addressed in this Plan and such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Notice of Grant.
5. Restricted Share Awards.
(a) Issuance of Restricted Share Awards. In connection with the Merger Closing, the Participants shall be issued a Restricted Share Award with that number of Restricted Shares that has previously been approved by the Pre-Closing Compensation Committee. Each Restricted Share Award will be subject to both a time-based vesting component and a performance-based vesting component as described below in Section 5(b).
(b) Vesting of Restricted Share Awards. Subject to satisfaction of the Service-Based Conditions set forth in Section 5(b)(i) and the Performance-Based Conditions set forth in Section 5(b)(ii) below, respectively, Restricted Share Awards will become vested under the Plan, if at all, upon the third (3rd) anniversary of the Merger Closing, the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Merger Closing, or the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Merger Closing (each date a “Vesting Date” and collectively, the “Vesting Dates”). Restricted Share Awards may also vest upon a Change in Control as provided in Section 5(d) below.
(i) Service-Based Conditions.
(A) Subject to Section 5(d) below, 60% of a Participant’s Restricted Share Award will satisfy the Service-Based Condition vesting requirement on the third anniversary of the Merger Closing if the Participant is Employed by the Company (or one of its Affiliates) on such date and has been continuously from the Date of Grant through such Vesting Date.
(B) Subject to Section 5(d) below, an additional 20% of a Participant’s Restricted Share Award will satisfy the Service-Based Condition vesting requirement on the fourth anniversary of the Merger Closing if the Participant is Employed by the Company (or one of its Affiliates) on such date and has been continuously from the Date of Grant through such Vesting Date.
(C) Subject to Section 5(d) below, an additional 20% of a Participant’s Restricted Share Award will satisfy the Service-Based Condition vesting requirement on the fifth anniversary of the Merger Closing if the Participant is Employed by the Company (or one of its Affiliates) on such date and has been continuously from the Date of Grant through such Vesting Date.
(ii) Performance-Based Conditions.
A. | A Participant’s Restricted Share Award will incrementally become vested upon satisfaction of one or more of the following three Performance-Based Conditions: |
1. The operational launch of digital online insurance products by the FOXO Life Insurance Company (or its functional equivalent under a managing general agency relationship with a life insurance company), with at least 100 policies sold, within one year following the Merger Closing;
2. The signing of a commercial research collaboration agreement with an insurance company or reinsurance company for saliva-based epigenetic biomarkers in life insurance underwriting within two years following the Merger Closing; and
3. The implementation of saliva-based epigenetic biomarkers in life insurance underwriting by the Company, with at least 250 policies sold using such underwriting, within two years following the Merger Closing.
B. | Subject to Section 5(d) below, one-third of a Participant’s Restricted Share Award will be eligible to become vested and no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture with respect to the satisfaction of each Performance-Based Condition (and any other performance condition that may be memorialized in the Notice of Grant). Accordingly, for the avoidance of doubt, if two out of three of the Performance-Based Conditions are satisfied, two-thirds of a Restricted Share Award will have satisfied the Performance-Based Condition and, if all three of the Performance-Based Conditions are satisfied, 100% of a Restricted Share Award will have satisfied the Performance-Based Condition. |
C. | Determination of Satisfaction of Performance-Based Conditions. The Administrator shall be solely responsible for monitoring and determining whether or not any Performance-Based Condition is achieved and any such determination shall be final and conclusive. The Administrator may utilize whatever rules and processes it believes are appropriate in this determinative process. |
(c) Forfeiture of Restricted Share Awards.
(i) For each Performance-Based Condition that is not achieved within the time period allotted, one-third of each Restricted Share Award will be permanently forfeited as of the applicable measuring date for determination of whether the Performance-Based Condition has been met.
- 2 -
(ii) If a Participant’s Employment ends for any reason (including voluntary resignation, death, disability or termination by the Company without or without Cause) before the third anniversary of the Merger Closing, the Participant shall forfeit 100% of his/her Restricted Share Award (whether or not any portion of such Awards have satisfied one or more of the Performance-Based Conditions).
(iii) If a Participant’s Employment ends for any reason (including voluntary resignation, death, disability or termination by the Company without or without Cause) after the third anniversary but before the fourth anniversary of the Merger Closing, the Participant shall forfeit 40% of his/her Restricted Share Award that became vested under the Performance-Based Conditions. (100% of the Restricted Share Award that did not become vested due to the failure to satisfy one or more of the Performance-Based Conditions will have already been forfeited.)
(iv) If a Participant’s Employment ends for any reason (including voluntary resignation, death, disability or termination by the Company without or without Cause) after the fourth anniversary but before the fifth anniversary of the Merger Closing, the Participant shall forfeit 20% of his/her Restricted Share Award that became vested under the Performance-Based Conditions. (100% of the Restricted Share Award that did not become vested due to the failure to satisfy one or more of the Performance-Based Conditions will have already been forfeited.)
(v) If a Participant’s Employment ends due to having been terminated by the Company or any Affiliate for Cause (or Participant resigning immediately before having been terminated by the Company or an Affiliate for Cause), 100% of such Participant’s Restricted Share Award whether vested or unvested shall immediately be forfeited.
(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5(b)(i) or Sections 5(c)(ii), (iii) and (iv), if the CEO Participant’s Employment ends due to having been terminated by the Company without Cause or due to such Participant’s death or Disability, no Service-Based Conditions under Section 5(b)(i) (or service-based forfeiture conditions under Sections 5(c)(ii), (iii) or (iv)) shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, following the CEO Participant’s termination of Employment without Cause by the Company or due to death or Disability, the Restricted Share Award remains subject to the Performance-Based Conditions such that if and when a Performance-Based Condition has been met for a portion of the Restricted Share Award, such portion of the CEO Participant’s Restricted Shares shall become fully vested and no longer subject to any risk of forfeiture under Section 5(c).
(d) Acceleration and Waiver of Vesting on a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, all vesting conditions set forth in above in Section 5(b) shall be waived and all restrictions on any then outstanding Restricted Share Awards shall lapse; provided, however, that any Restricted Share Award that was already forfeited prior to such Change in Control shall remain forfeited and shall not be affected by the acceleration provided for under this Section 5(d).
(e) Rights as Shareholder with Respect to Restricted Share Award. Prior to any Restricted Share Award becoming vested in accordance with this Plan, any shares, securities or property, including cash dividends, payable on the Restricted Share Award shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are imposed upon the Restricted Share Award under this Section 5 and the Notice of Grant and shall be deposited immediately in escrow with the Company until such time, if any, as the Restricted Shares become vested. No interest or other earnings shall be paid or accrue on any amounts while in escrow or pending vesting. A Participant shall have all other rights of as a Company shareholder (e.g., full voting rights).
- 3 -
6. Cancellation of Forfeited Shares. Any Shares from the Restricted Share Pool that did not become vested in accordance with Section 5(b)(i) by the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Merger Closing or were forfeited under Section 5(c) shall be cancelled and permanently forfeited.
7. Administration.
(a) Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator.
(b) Powers of Administrator. The Administrator shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:
(i) To construe and interpret the Plan and Awards granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Administrator, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Notice of Grant, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective; and
(ii) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Administrator deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company which are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan.
(c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Administrator in good faith and consistent with the terms of the Plan shall not be subject to review by any Person and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all Persons. Any Person or Persons serving in the role of Administrator (including, without limitation, any Person on the Board) and any officer or employee of the Company or any Affiliate acting at the direction of the Administrator shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified by the Company with respect to any such action or determination.
8. Transfer Restrictions. Except with respect to transfers without consideration (other than nominal consideration) to certain persons or entities related to a Participant, including members of the Participant’s family or trusts whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of the Participant’s family, no Participant shall, directly or indirectly, sell, give, assign, hypothecate, pledge, transfer, encumber, grant a security interest in or otherwise dispose of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) any Award or any right, title or interest therein or thereto.
9. Restricted Securities. Any Shares that are issued will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and will bear an appropriate restrictive legend, unless they are registered under the Securities Act. The Company is under no obligation to register any Restricted Shares.
10. Amendment of the Plan and Awards. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend, supplement, modify or restate the Plan, any Notice of Grant or any Award provided that any such amendment applicable to a previously outstanding Award shall not have an adverse effect on Participant or diminish the value of any previously outstanding Award under the Plan without Participant’s prior written consent.
- 4 -
11. Termination or Suspension of the Plan. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the first to occur of (a) the date that 100% of the Restricted Shares have become vested; (b) the first business day following the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Merger Closing; or (c) the date that all unpaid Restricted Shares have been forfeited. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan with the written consent of all remaining Participants in the Plan (at the time of the proposed suspension or termination of the Plan).
12. Choice of Law. The law of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of law rules.
13. No Employment or other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan, Notice of Grant or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the employment or service of an Employee, Consultant or Director with or without Cause.
14. Powers of Company Not Affected. The existence of any Award shall not affect in any way the rights or powers of the Company or any of its directors or shareholders to make or authorize any combination, subdivision or reclassification of shares or any reorganization, merger, consolidation, arrangement, business combination, exchange of shares, or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any issue of bonds, debentures or shares having rights or preferences equal, superior or affecting the shares or the rights thereof, or any dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
15. Withholding. The Company shall have the right to withhold from any payments, issuance or release of Shares made under the Plan or to collect as a condition of payment, any taxes required by law to be withheld. At any time when a Participant is required to pay to the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable income tax laws in connection with a distribution of Shares under an Award, the Participant may satisfy this obligation in whole or in part by electing (the “Election”) to have the Company withhold and redeem from the distribution Shares a number of Shares having a value up to the amount of withholding taxes required to be collected on the transaction. The value of the shares to be withheld and redeemed shall be based on the value received by the Company on sale of Shares on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld shall be determined (“Tax Date”). Each Election must be made prior to the Tax Date in accordance with procedures established by the Company. The Board may disapprove of any Election, may suspend or terminate the right to make Elections, or may provide with respect to any Award that the right to make Elections shall not apply to such Award.
16. Section 409A of the Code. This Plan and any Notice of Grant or Award entered into or granted hereunder are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code so that Participants are not subject to any tax or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code and shall be administered, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent; provided, that, neither the Company, any Affiliates, the Board, the Administrator, nor any other party guarantees that Participants are not subject to any tax or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code and none of the foregoing shall have any liability to any Participant for any tax or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code. Each Participant agrees to take any action, or refrain from any action, reasonably requested by the Company to obtain the benefit of any correction procedure promulgated under Section 409A of the Code.
17. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the body of this Plan shall have the meaning assigned to each, as follows
