Item 5.07Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

As previously disclosed, on February 23, 2023, Springwater Special Situations Corp. (the “Company”) adjourned its special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) scheduled for February 23, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. to February 27, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. to allow additional time for the Company to engage with its stockholders regarding redemption reversals. On February 27, 2023, the Company held the Special Meeting. An aggregate of 18,960,635 shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), which represents a quorum of the outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote as of the record date of January 31, 2023, were represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

 

The Company’s stockholders voted on the following proposals at the Meeting, which were approved:

 

(1) Proposal No. 1 — The Issuance Amendment Proposal — a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to allow the Company to issue securities as a dividend prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, and specifically to allow the Company to issue rights as a dividend in connection with the Meeting. The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders:

 

For   Against   Abstain   Broker Non-Votes
18,703,345   250,290   7,000   0

 

 

(2) Proposal No. 2 — The Extension Amendment Proposal — a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 28, 2023 to August 28, 2023. The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders:

 

For   Against   Abstain   Broker Non-Votes
18,703,345   250,290   7,000   0

 

Holders of an aggregate of 15,142,910 shares of Common Stock exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate of $155,858,751.61 in cash.

 

On February 28, 2023, the Company filed the amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. A copy of the amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

 

1

 

 

As previously disclosed, the Company’s board of directors approved a dividend of rights (“Rights”) to holders of public shares of Common Stock (the “Public Shares”, each a “Public Share”) who did not seek redemption of their Public Shares in connection with the stockholder vote upon the Extension Amendment Proposal. The Rights will be issued on or around March 2, 2023. Each Right will entitle the holder to receive one-twelve-and-a-halfth (1/12.5) of a share of Common Stock upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. Common Stock will only be issued in respect of Rights adding up to a full share of Common Stock (i.e., for every eight (8) Rights). For purposes of illustration, a holder of nineteen (19) unredeemed Public Shares will receive nineteen (19) Rights, and, upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, will receive two (2) shares of Common Stock, in respect of the first sixteen (16) Rights of such holder, and such holder’s remaining three (3) Rights will expire worthless.

 

An aggregate of 1,975,714 Public Shares were not redeemed at the Meeting. Accordingly, the Company will issue 1,975,714 Rights entitling the holders to receive an aggregate of up to 158,057 shares of Common Stock.

 

In connection with the dividend, on March 2, 2023, the Company will enter into a rights agreement, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company as rights agent, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 (the “Rights Agreement”).

 

The description of the Rights and Rights Agreement contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Rights Agreement and form of right certificate, copies of which have been filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

Agreement made as of March 2, 2023 between Springwater Special Situations Corp., a Delaware corporation, with offices at c/o Graubard Miller, 405 Lexington Avenue, 44th Floor, New York, New York, 10174 (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, with offices at 1 State Street, New York, New York 10004 (the “Right Agent”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company contemplates the issuance, as a dividend to the holder of each share of its outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) as of March 2, 2023 (the “Record Date”), of the right to receive one-twelve-and-a-halfth (1/12.5) of one share of Common Stock upon consummation by the Company of an initial business combination as defined in the prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Rights”, the shares of Common Stock issued in respect of such Rights the “Rights Shares” and such dividend the “Contemplated Dividend”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company shall issue a total of 1,975,714 Rights in the Contemplated Dividend, to receive a total of 158,057 Rights Shares;

 

WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement for the Rights on Form 8-A, No. 001-40757 (“Registration Statement”), for the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires the Right Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Right Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer and exchange of the Rights; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Rights, the terms upon which they shall be issued, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and immunities of the Company, the Right Agent, and the holders of the Rights; and

 

WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Rights, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Right Agent, as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Appointment of Right Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Right Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Rights, and the Right Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

2. Rights.

 

2.1. Form of Right. Each Right shall be issued in registered form only, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein and shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board, President or Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company and shall bear a facsimile of the Company’s seal. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Right shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Right before such Right is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

 

2.2. Effect of Countersignature. Unless and until countersigned by the Right Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Right shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exchanged for Rights Shares.

 

2.3. Registration.

 

2.3.1. Right Register. The Right Agent shall maintain books (“Right Register”) for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Rights. Upon the initial issuance of the Rights, the Right Agent shall issue and register the Rights in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Right Agent by the Company.

 

2.3.2. Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Right, the Company and the Right Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Right shall be registered upon the Right Register (“registered holder”) as the absolute owner of such Right and of each Right represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Right Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Right Agent), for the purpose of the exchange thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Right Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

3. Terms and Exchange of Rights

 

3.1. Rights. Each Right shall entitle the holder thereof to receive one-twelve-and-a-halfth (1/12.5) of one Rights Share upon the happening of an Exchange Event (described below). No additional consideration shall be paid by a holder of Rights in order to receive his, her or its Rights Share(s) upon an Exchange Event as consideration for such Rights Shares has been given to the Company by the holder of such Right not exercising his, her or its right to redeem the Common Stock held by them upon which the Contemplated Dividend of Rights will have been issued. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. Each holder of a Right will be required to deliver his, her or its Rights to the Company’s transfer agent upon consummation of the Exchange Event in order to receive the one-twelve-and-a-halfth (1/12.5) of a Rights Share underlying each Right (without paying any additional consideration).

 

3.2. Exchange Event. An Exchange Event shall occur upon the Company’s consummation of an initial Business Combination (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation).

 

3.3. Exchange of Rights.

 

3.3.1. Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event, the Company shall issue to the registered holder of such Right(s) a certificate or certificates for the full number of Rights Shares to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any provision contained in this Rights Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. The Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exchange of Rights. At the time of an Exchange Event, the Company will instruct the Right Agent as to how fractional shares will be addressed, in accordance with Section 155 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

2

 

 

3.3.2. Valid Issuance. All Rights Shares issued upon an Exchange Event in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

3.3.3. Date of Issuance. Each person in whose name any such certificate for Rights Shares is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date of the Exchange Event, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate.

 

3.3.4 Company Not Surviving Following Exchange Event. Upon an Exchange Event in which the Company does not continue as the publicly held reporting entity, the definitive agreement with the target business for the initial business combination will provide for the holders of Rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the Common Stock will receive in such transaction, for the number of shares such holder is entitled to pursuant to Section 3.1 above.

 

3.5 Duration of Rights. If an Exchange Event does not occur within the time period set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, the Rights shall expire and shall be worthless.

 

4. Transfer and Exchange of Rights.

 

4.1. Registration of Transfer. The Right Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Right upon the Right Register, upon surrender of such Right for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Right certificate representing an equal aggregate number of Rights shall be issued and the old Right certificate shall be cancelled by the Right Agent. The Right certificate(s) so cancelled shall be delivered by the Right Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.

 

4.2. Procedure for Surrender of Rights. Rights may be surrendered to the Right Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Right Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Right certificate(s) as requested by the registered holder of the Rights so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Rights; provided, however, that in the event that a Right surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Right Agent shall not cancel such Right certificate and issue new Right certificate(s) in exchange therefor until the Right Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Right certificate(s) must also bear a restrictive legend.

 

4.3. Fractional Rights. The Right Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a Right certificate for a fraction of a Right.

 

4.4. Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Rights.

 

4.5. Adjustments to Conversion Ratios. The number of Rights Shares that the holders of Rights are entitled to receive as a result of the occurrence of an Exchange Event shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Exchange Event.

 

3

 

 

4.6 Right Execution and Countersignature. The Right Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Rights required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, and the Company, whenever required by the Right Agent, will supply the Right Agent with Rights duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

 

5. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Rights.

 

5.1. No Rights as Shareholder. Until exchange of Rights for Rights Shares as provided for herein, a Right does not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

 

5.2. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Right Certificate(s). If any Right certificate(s) is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Right Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Right certificate, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Right certificate of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Right certificate so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Right certificate shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Right certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

5.3. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding Rights issued pursuant to this Agreement into Rights Shares.

 

6. Concerning the Right Agent and Other Matters.

 

6.1. Payment of Taxes. The Company will from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Right Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of Rights Shares upon the exchange of Rights, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Rights or such shares.

 

6.2. Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Right Agent.

 

6.2.1. Appointment of Successor Right Agent. The Right Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Right Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Right Agent in place of the Right Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Right Agent or by the holder of the Right (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its Right for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Right may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Right Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Right Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Right Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Right Agent with like effect as if originally named as Right Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Right Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Right Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Right Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Right Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Right Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.

 

4

 

 

6.2.2. Notice of Successor Right Agent. In the event a successor Right Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Right Agent and the transfer agent for the Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such appointment.

 

6.2.3. Merger or Consolidation of Right Agent. Any corporation into which the Right Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Right Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Right Agent under this Agreement without any further act.

 

6.3. Fees and Expenses of Right Agent.

 

6.3.1. Remuneration. The Company agrees to pay the Right Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as such Right Agent hereunder and will reimburse the Right Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Right Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.

 

6.3.2. Further Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Right Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

6.4. Liability of Right Agent.

 

6.4.1. Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Right Agreement, the Right Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer and delivered to the Right Agent. The Right Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

6.4.2. Indemnity. The Right Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Right Agent and hold it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Right Agent in the execution of this Agreement except as a result of the Right Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

 

6.4.3. Exclusions. The Right Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Right (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Right; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Right or as to whether any Rights Shares will when issued be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

6.5. Acceptance of Agency. The Right Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.

 

6.6 Waiver. The Right Agent hereby waives any right of set-off or any other right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) in, or to any distribution of, the Trust Account (as defined in that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2021, by and between the Company and the Right Agent as trustee thereunder) and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.
