Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

General

On September 2, 2020, Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Kensington”), Kensington Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Kensington (“Merger Sub”), and QuantumScape Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Kensington and the Company will enter into a business combination. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination fee provisions and other terms relating to the Merger (defined below) and the other transactions contemplated thereby, are summarized below. Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement.

As a result of the business combination, Kensington currently expects to issue with respect to Company Capital Stock (or expects to reserve for issuance with respect to Exchanged Options, Exchanged RSUs and Exchanged Warrants) 368,799,998 shares of Kensington Common Stock in the aggregate.  The final aggregate amount of shares of Kensington Common Stock to be issued (or reserved for issuance) in connection with the business combination will be calculated in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement

Structure of the Transaction

The transaction is structured as a reverse triangular merger, which includes the following:

 

(a)

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger,” together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Proposed Transactions”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Kensington (the “Surviving Corporation”);

 

(b)

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain investors have entered into certain subscription agreements, pursuant to which such investors will purchase shares of Kensington Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share in a private placement to be consummated immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Transactions;

 

(c)

In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, (i) Kensington, the Company and Volkswagen Group of America Investments LLC (“Volkswagen”) entered into a stockholder support agreement (the “Volkswagen Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Volkswagen agreed, among other things, to vote its shares of Company Preferred Stock in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Proposed Transactions, and (ii) Kensington, the Company and certain stockholders of the Company with (together with Volkswagen) a sufficient number of votes to approve the Merger and other transactions that require the approval of the Company’s stockholders (the “Key Company Stockholders”) entered into a stockholder support agreement (the “Other Stockholder Support Agreement”; the Volkswagen Stockholder Support Agreement and the Other Stockholder Support Agreement, the “Stockholder Support Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Key Company Stockholders agreed, among other things, to vote their shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Proposed Transactions; and (iii) certain stockholders of the Company and certain stockholders of Kensington entered into a registration rights and lock-up agreement (the “Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement”);

 

(d)

In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain senior level employees of the Company entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreement”) with Kensington, pursuant to which, such employees agreed to restrictions on the transferability of Kensington securities for a period of up to four years following the consummation of the Proposed Transactions, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein; and


 

 

(e)

In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, (i) Kensington and the Company entered into a letter agreement with Volkswagen Group of America Investments, LLC (“VGA”), a stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which, consistent with the rights of VGA with respect to the election of the Company’s directors under the existing voting agreement between the Company and certain of its stockholders, VGA will be entitled, following the Proposed Transactions, to nominate up to two designees to Kensington’s board of directors, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions regarding funding and ownership of Kensington capital stock (the “First VGA Letter Agreement”), (ii) Kensington and the Company entered into an additional letter agreement with VGA, pursuant to which VGA will, among other things, receive an opportunity to review and comment on filings with the SEC with respect to the Proposed Transactions and be provided copies of notices provided between the parties to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Second VGA Letter Agreement”) and (iii) Kensington and the Company entered into an additional letter agreement with VGA, pursuant to which the Company will reserve proceeds from its Series F Preferred Stock financing and capital received through the Merger in a separate account to fund equity contributions to QSV Operations LLC (the “Third VGA Letter Agreement”).  The foregoing descriptions of the First VGA Letter Agreement, Second VGA Letter Agreement and Third VGA Letter Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Conversion of Securities

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Kensington, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the Company’s securities:

 

(a)

each share of the Company Class A Common Stock (which has one vote per share) and each share of the Company Preferred Stock that is convertible into the Company Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Kensington Class A Common Stock that will be in effect after completion of the Proposed Transactions (the “New Kensington Class A Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio.  The New Kensington Class A Common Stock will have one vote per share;

 

(b)

each share of the Company Class B Common Stock (which has 10 votes per share) and each share of the Company Preferred Stock that is convertible into the Company Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Kensington Class B Common Stock that will be in effect after completion of the Proposed Transactions (the “New Kensington Class B Common Stock”; and together with the New Kensington Class A Common Stock, the “New Kensington Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio.  The New Kensington Class B Common Stock will have ten votes per share;

 

(c)

each share of the Company Capital Stock held in the treasury of the Company will be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto;

 

(d)

each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation;

each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of the applicable class of New Kensington Common Stock that the pre-conversion Company Option covers (such option, an “Exchanged Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided in the Business Combination Agreement, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Option will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time;


 

 

(f)

each share of Company Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into restricted shares of the applicable class of New Kensington Common Stock that the pre-conversion Company Restricted Stock covers (such share of restricted Common Stock, an “Exchanged Restricted Common Stock”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio.  Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Restricted Stock shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including transfer restrictions and repurchase right terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time;

 

(g)

each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into restricted stock units of the applicable class of New Kensington Common Stock that the pre-conversion Company RSU covers (such restricted stock unit award covering Common Stock, an “Exchanged RSU”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares subject to a Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio.  Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged RSU shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including transfer restrictions and repurchase right terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

 

(h)

each Company Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of the applicable class of New Kensington Common Stock that corresponded to the class for which the pre-conversion Company Warrant was exercisable (such warrant, an “Exchanged Warrant”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio.  Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Warrant shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Exchange Ratio” means the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the “Target Share Amount”, which is to be calculated in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and is, as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement, equal to 368,799,998, by (y) the Fully-Diluted Company Shares.

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Business Combination Agreement is included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Kensington, the Company or the other parties thereto. In particular, the assertions embodied in representations and warranties by Kensington, the Company and Merger Sub contained in the Business Combination Agreement are qualified by information in the disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Kensington, the Company or Merger Sub.

Stockholder Support Agreement

On September 2, 2020, Volkswagen and the Key Company Stockholders entered into the Stockholder Support Agreements pursuant to which, among other things, they agreed to vote all of their shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the Proposed Transactions within 24 hours after the Company requests them to do so, provided that the Company may not make such request until the S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.  Additionally, Volkswagen and the Key Company Stockholders have agreed not to (a) transfer any of their shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock (or enter into any arrangement with respect thereto) or (b) enter into any voting arrangement that is inconsistent with the Stockholder Support Agreement.  The Stockholder Support Agreements terminate on the occurrence of certain events, including the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms or certain amendments or modifications to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.  As discussed above, Volkswagen and the Key Company Stockholders collectively have a sufficient number of votes to approve the Merger and other transactions that require the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Stockholder Support Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stockholder Support Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 (with respect to the Volkswagen Stockholder Support Agreement) and 10.2 (with respect to the Key Stockholder Support Agreement) to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement

On September 2, 2020, Kensington, Kensington Capital Sponsor LLC (the “Original Holder”) and certain stockholders of the Company (the “New Holders” and, collectively with the Original Holder, the “Holders”) entered into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, which shall be effective at the Closing. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, Kensington will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain securities of Kensington held by the Holders. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement and subject to certain requirements and customary conditions, including with regard to the number of demand rights that may be exercised, the Holders may demand at any time or from time to time, that Kensington file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or on Form S-1 if Form S-3 is not available) to register the securities of Kensington held by such Holders. The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement also provides the Holders with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.


 

The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement further provides for the securities of Kensington held by the Holders to be locked-up for a period of time following the Closing, as described below, subject to certain exceptions. The securities held by the Original Holder will be locked-up for one year following the Closing, subject to earlier release if (i) the reported last sale price of Kensington’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing or (ii) if Kensington consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Closing which results in all of Kensington’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. The securities held by the New Holders will be locked-up for 180 days after the Closing, subject to earlier release if (i) the reported last sale price of Kensington’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing or (ii) if Kensington consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Closing which results in all of Kensington’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, effective as of September 2, 2020, Kensington entered into separate subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) with a number of investors (each a “Subscriber”), pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and Kensington agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of Kensington Class A Common Stock (which will be New Kensington Class A Common Stock upon completion of the Proposed Transactions) (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $500 million, in a private placement (the “PIPE”).

The closing of the sale of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreement is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Proposed Transactions. The purpose of the PIPE is to raise additional capital for use by the combined company following the Closing.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, Kensington agreed, among other things, that, within 15 business days after the consummation of the Proposed Transactions (the “Filing Deadline”), Kensington will file with the SEC (at Kensington’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares (the “Resale Registration Statement”), and Kensington will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreements

On September 2, 2020, Kensington entered into separate Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreements with certain senior level employees of the Company (the “Senior Employees”), including the Company’s executive officers.  The Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreements provide that the securities of Kensington owned of record or beneficially by the Senior Employees (including certain securities that may be granted or issued to a Senior Employee after the Effective Time) (collectively, the “Lock-Up Shares”) may generally not be transferred for at least 180 days after the Closing (the “Initial Lock-Up Period”) and up to four years after the Closing, subject to certain exceptions.  Following the Initial Lock-Up Period, Senior Employees may transfer Lock-Up Shares without restriction as follows: (i) during the first year after the Effective Time, up to 25% of the total number of Lock-Up Shares, (ii) following the first anniversary of the Effective Time until the earlier of four years after the Closing or the occurrence of an event described below, up to 50% of the total number of Lock-Up Shares, and (iii) up to an additional 50% of the total number of Lock-Up Shares following satisfaction of agreed delivery requirements between the Company and VGA.  These transfer restrictions are subject to earlier release if (a) Kensington completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Closing that results in all of Kensington’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property; (b) VGA terminates for any reason the Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2020, by and among the Company and VGA; (c) VGA issues a critical or negative statement regarding Kensington and its technology unless such statement is required to be made by VGA under applicable law and is truthful and accurate; or (d) VGA transfers certain Kensington securities in excess of the amounts set forth in the Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreements.  The Senior Employee Lock-UP Agreements also provide that, upon consummation of the Merger, Kensington or the Company shall pay to each Senior Employee a one-time cash bonus equal to 20% of the Senior Employee’s then annual base salary.


 

The foregoing description of the Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes, or incorporates by reference, certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and 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 revenue and other financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity, expectations and timing related to product development, potential benefits of the Proposed Transactions, and expectations related to the terms and timing of the Proposed Transactions. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of Kensington’s and the Company’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 Kensington and the Company. These forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, financial, legal, political and business conditions and changes in domestic and foreign markets; the outcome of judicial proceedings to which Kensington or the Company may become a party (including any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Kensington or the Company following announcement of the Proposed Transactions); the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Proposed Transactions or to satisfy the other conditions to the closing of the Proposed Transactions, 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; the risk that the approval of the stockholders of Kensington for the Proposed Transactions is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transactions, including as a result of a delay in consummating the Proposed Transaction or difficulty in, or costs associated with, integrating the businesses of Kensington and the Company; the amount of redemption requests made by Kensington’s stockholders; the occurrence of events that may give rise to a right of one or both of Kensington and the Company to terminate the Business Combination Agreement; risks related to the rollout of the Company’s business, the development and performance of the Company’s products, and the timing of expected business milestones; the risk that the Proposed Transactions disrupt Kensington’s or the Company’s current plans and operations as a result of the announcement of the Proposed Transactions; the ability to grow and manage growth following the Proposed Transactions; the effects of competition on the Company’s future business; and those factors discussed in Kensington’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of Kensington filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Kensington nor the Company presently do not know or that Kensington and the Company 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 Kensington’s and the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Kensington and the Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while Kensington and the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Kensington and the Company specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Kensington’s or the Company’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.

SECTION 3.02.  Exchange of Certificates.

(a)Exchange Agent.  On the Closing Date, Kensington shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company that shall be designated by Kensington and is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), (i) for the benefit of the holders of Company Class A Common Stock and Company Class A Preferred Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, the number of shares of New Kensington Class A Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(i) of this Agreement and (ii) for the benefit of the holders of Company Class B Common Stock and Company Class B Preferred Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, the number of shares of New Kensington Class B Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(ii) of this Agreement (such shares of New Kensington Class A Common Stock and New Kensington Class B Common Stock, in each case referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto (pursuant to Section 3.02(c), being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).  Kensington shall cause the Exchange Agent pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to pay the Per Share Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement.  Except as contemplated by Section 3.02(c) hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.  All shares deposited hereunder shall not be certificated.

(b)Exchange Procedures.  As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Kensington shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of Company Capital Stock entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01:  a letter of transmittal, which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Kensington and the Company (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and shall specify (i) that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates evidencing such shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent or confirmation of cancellation of such Certificates from the Company’s transfer agent, Solium Capital ULC and its affiliates, d/b/a Shareworks (each, a “Transfer Agent Cancellation”); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal.  Within two (2) Business Days (but in no event prior to the Effective Time) after the surrender to the Exchange Agent of all Certificates held by such holder for cancellation (or a Transfer Agent Cancellation), together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore, and Kensington shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, and the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.02, each Certificate entitled to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.01 shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01.

19


 

 

(c)Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Kensington Common Stock.  No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the New Kensington Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of New Kensington Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.02(b).  Subject to the effect of escheat, tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, Kensington shall pay or cause to be paid to the holder of shares of New Kensington Common Stock issued in exchange therefore, without interest, (i) promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such shares of New Kensington Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such shares of New Kensington Common Stock.

(d)No Further Rights in Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock.  The Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon conversion of the Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Capital Stock.

(e)Adjustments to Per Share Merger Consideration.  The Per Share Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Kensington Capital Stock occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time (but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be adjusted to reflect any change in the capitalization of the Company, except to the extent expressly set forth in the definition of “Exchange Ratio” and its components as determined in accordance with Section 3.06).

(f)Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Capital Stock for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Kensington, upon demand, and any holders of Company Capital Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Section 3.02 shall thereafter look only to Kensington for the Per Share Merger Consideration.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Capital Stock as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of Kensington free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g)No Liability.  None of the Exchange Agent, Kensington or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Company Capital Stock for any such Company Capital Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with Section 3.02.

(h)Withholding Rights.  Each of the Surviving Corporation and Kensington shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Capital Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and

20


 

 

withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code), or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Kensington, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Capital Stock (or intended recipients of compensatory payments) in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Kensington, as the case may be.

(i)Lost Certificates.  If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact and related indemnity by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed (such affidavit and indemnity to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Kensington and the Surviving Corporation but in any case to not require the delivery of a bond), the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 3.01.

SECTION 3.03.  Stock Transfer Books.  At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Capital Stock thereafter on the records of the Company.  From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Capital Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.  On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Kensington for any reason shall be converted into the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.01.

(a)No sooner than five (5) or later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Kensington a written report setting forth a list of all of the following fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof), solely to the extent such fees and expenses are incurred and expected to remain unpaid as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date: (i) the fees and disbursements of outside counsel to the Company incurred in connection with the Transactions and (ii) the fees and expenses of any other agents, advisors, consultants, experts, financial advisors and other service providers engaged by the Company in connection with the Transactions (collectively, the “Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses”).  On the Closing Date following the Closing, Kensington shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses shall not include any fees and expenses of the Company’s stockholders.

(b)No sooner than five (5) or later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Kensington shall provide to the Company a written report setting forth a list of all fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by or on behalf of Kensington or Merger Sub for outside

21


 

 

counsel, agents, advisors, consultants, experts, financial advisors and other service providers engaged by or on behalf of Kensington or Merger Sub in connection with the Transactions or otherwise in connection with Kensington’s operations (together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof) (collectively, the “Outstanding Kensington Transaction Expenses).  On the Closing Date following the Closing, Kensington shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Outstanding Kensington Transaction Expenses.

(c)Kensington shall not pay or cause to be paid any Outstanding Kensington Transaction Expenses or Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses other than in accordance with this Section 3.04.

(b)Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give Kensington (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL.  The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Kensington (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

SECTION 3.06.  Calculation of Exchange Ratio.

(a)For purposes of this Agreement, the “Determination Date” shall be the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated date for Closing, as agreed upon by Kensington and the Company at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the Kensington Stockholders’ Meeting (the “Anticipated Closing Date”).  No later than the Determination Date, the Company shall deliver to Kensington a calculation (the “Exchange Ratio Calculation”) setting forth the Company’s good faith, estimated calculation of Exchange Ratio as of the

22


 

 

Anticipated Closing Date (using an estimate of each component thereof as of such date, prepared and certified by the Company’s chief financial officer or principal accounting officer.  The Company shall make relevant back-up materials used or useful in preparing the Exchange Ratio Calculation, as reasonably requested in writing by Kensington, available to Kensington and, if requested in writing by Kensington, its accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.

(b)Within three (3) Business Days after the Company delivers the Exchange Ratio Calculation (the “Response Date”), Kensington shall have the right to dispute any part of such Exchange Ratio Calculation by delivering a written notice to that effect to the Company (a “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature of any proposed revisions to the Exchange Ratio Calculation.

(c)If on or prior to the Response Date, (i) Kensington notifies the Company in writing that it has no objections to the Exchange Ratio Calculation or (ii) Kensington fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 3.06(b), then the Exchange Ratio as set forth in the Exchange Ratio Calculation delivered to Kensington shall be deemed, subject to the terms of Section 3.06(f), to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Exchange Ratio at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.

(d)If Kensington delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Date, then Representatives of Kensington and the Company shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the Exchange Ratio, which agreed upon Exchange Ratio amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Exchange Ratio at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.

(e)If Representatives of Kensington and the Company are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the Exchange Ratio at the Anticipated Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.06(d) within three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as Kensington and the Company may mutually agree upon), then Kensington and the Company shall jointly select an independent auditor of recognized national standing (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining disagreements as to the Exchange Ratio Calculation. The Company shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the relevant back-up materials used in preparing the Exchange Ratio Calculation, and Kensington and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within five (5) Business Days of accepting its selection. Kensington and the Company shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of Kensington and the Company. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of the Exchange Ratio made by the Accounting Firm shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Exchange Ratio at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement, and the parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 3.06(e). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Kensington and the Company in the same proportion that the disputed

23


 

 

amount of the Exchange Ratio that was unsuccessfully disputed by such party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Exchange Ratio.

(f)Following the final determination of Exchange Ratio as of the Anticipated Closing Date in accordance with this Section 3.06 (either as a result of the mutual agreement of the parties or the determination of the Accounting Firm), the parties shall not be required to determine the Exchange Ratio again even though the Closing Date may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date, except that either party may request a redetermination of the Exchange Ratio if the Closing Date is more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the Anticipated Closing Date (including as a result of the engagement of the Accounting Firm), in which event the procedures set forth in this Section 3.06 shall once again apply and the parties shall select a new Anticipated Closing Date.

(the “Trust Account”).  The monies of such Trust Account are invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and held in trust by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2020, between Kensington and the Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”).  The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exceptions.  Kensington has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder and there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default by Kensington or the Trustee.  There are no separate contracts, agreements, side letters or other understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied): (i) between Kensington and the Trustee that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Kensington SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) to the knowledge of Kensington, that would entitle any person (other than stockholders of Kensington who shall have elected to redeem their shares of Kensington Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Kensington Organizational Documents) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account.  Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and franchise Taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) upon the exercise of Redemption Rights in accordance with the provisions of the Kensington Organizational Documents.  As of the date of this Agreement, there are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of Kensington, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account.  Upon consummation of the Merger and notice thereof to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement, Kensington shall cause the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to, release to Kensington as promptly as practicable, the Trust Funds in accordance with the Trust Agreement at which point

50


 

 

the Trust Account shall terminate; provided, however, that the liabilities and obligations of Kensington due and owing or incurred at or prior to the Effective Time shall be paid as and when due, including all amounts payable (a) to stockholders of Kensington who shall have exercised their Redemption Rights, (b) with respect to filings, applications and/or other actions taken pursuant to this Agreement required under Law, (c) to the Trustee for fees and costs incurred in accordance with the Trust Agreement; and (d) to third parties (e.g., professionals, printers, etc.) who have rendered services to Kensington in connection with its efforts to effect the Merger.  As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein and the compliance by the Company with its respective obligations hereunder, Kensington has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to Kensington at the Effective Time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Written Consent, but not after, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(i) to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal only if the Company Board has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and legal counsel, that (i) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (ii) that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal; provided, however, that prior to taking such action, (A) the Company promptly notifies Kensington, in writing, at least three (3) Business Days (the “Company Notice Period”) before making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or entering into a Company Acquisition Agreement, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Company Superior Proposal, which notice shall (1) state expressly that the Company has received a Company Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board intends to declare a Company Superior Proposal and that the Company Board intends to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or the Company intends to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement and (2) include a copy of the most current version of the proposed agreement relating to such Company Superior Proposal (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis), and a description of any financing commitments relating thereto; (B) the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, during the Company Notice Period, negotiate with Kensington in good faith in respect of adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Company Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Company Superior Proposal, if Kensington, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Company Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Company Superior Proposal, including, any revision in price, then the Company will provide a new notice to Kensington that complies with the requirements of this Section 7.05(d) and that the “Notice Period” in respect of such new notice will be two (2) Business Days); and (C) following the end of such Company Notice Period the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside financial advisor and legal counsel, that such Company Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal after taking into account any adjustments made by Kensington during the Company Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and provided, further, that the Company shall have complied with its obligations under this Section 7.05(d) and if the Company Board terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(i) to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement, the Company pays or causes to be paid to Kensington the Termination Fee due in accordance with Section 9.03(a).

63


 

 

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Written Consent, the Company Board determines in good faith, in response to an Intervening Event, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Board may, prior to obtaining the Written Consent, make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, that the Company will not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless (i) the Company promptly notifies Kensington in writing, at least three (3) Business Days (the “Intervening Event Notice Period) advising Kensington that the Company Board proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying the Company Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred, and (ii) following the end of such Intervening Event Notice Period (it being agreed that in the event after the commencement of the Intervening Event Notice Period, there is any material development with respect to an Intervening Event, the Intervening Event Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remains in the Intervening Event Notice Period subsequent to the time the company notifies Kensington of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)), the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside financial advisors and legal counsel, that the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If requested by Kensington, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, negotiate with Kensington in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so as to obviate the need for a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.  For the avoidance of doubt, none of (A) the determination by the Company Board that an Intervening Event may or has occurred or (B) the delivery by the Company to Kensington of any notice contemplated by this Section 7.05 will, in and of itself, constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or violate this Section 7.05.

(f)The parties agree that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.05 by any of the Company’s Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.05 by the Company.

SECTION 7.06.  Kensington Exclusivity.  From the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of (a) the Closing and (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01, but only to the extent not inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Kensington Board, Kensington shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) enter into, knowingly solicit, initiate or continue any discussions or negotiations with, or knowingly encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or participate in any negotiations with, or provide any information to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any person or other entity or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, concerning any sale of any material assets of such person or any of the outstanding capital stock or any conversion, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving such person other than with the Company and its Representatives (an “Alternative Transaction”), (ii) enter into any agreement regarding, continue or otherwise knowingly participate in any discussions regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect to, or cooperate in any way that would otherwise reasonably be expected to lead to, any Alternative Transaction or (iii) commence, continue or renew any due diligence investigation regarding any Alternative Transaction; provided, however, that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the

64


 

 

Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 7.06. Kensington shall, and shall cause its affiliates and Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction.  Kensington also agrees that it will promptly request each person (other than the Company and its Representatives) that has prior to the date of this Agreement executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an Alternative Transaction to return or destroy all Confidential Information furnished to such person by or on behalf of it prior to the date of this Agreement (to the extent so permitted under, and in accordance with the terms of, such confidentiality agreement).  If Kensington or any of its affiliates or its or their respective Representatives receives any inquiry or proposal with respect to an Alternative Transaction at any time prior to the Closing, then Kensington shall promptly (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day after Kensington becomes aware of such inquiry or proposal) notify such person in writing that Kensington is subject to an exclusivity agreement with respect to the Transaction that prohibits Kensington or any of its affiliates or its or their respective Representatives from considering such inquiry or proposal.  Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.06 by Kensington or any of its affiliates or its or their respective Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.06 by Kensington.

SECTION 7.08.  Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.  

(a)The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of each of the Surviving Corporation and Kensington shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company or Kensington, as applicable, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company or Kensington, as applicable, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law.  

(b)On the Closing Date, each of the Company and Kensington shall obtain (at each such party’s sole cost and expense) a non-cancelable run-off directors and officers “tail” insurance policy (providing coverage that, taken as a whole, is no less favorable than under such person’s policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement), for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date to provide insurance coverage for events, acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date for all persons who were directors or officers of the Company or Kensington, as applicable, on or prior to the Closing Date.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2020 (the “BCA”), among Kensington, Kensington Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Kensington (“Merger Sub”), and the Company.

WHEREAS, Kensington, Merger Sub and the Company are entering into, concurrently herewith, the BCA, which provides, among other things, that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Kensington; and

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, each Stockholder owns of record the number and class of shares of Company Common Stock and the number and series of shares of Company Preferred Stock set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A (all such shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock and any shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock of which ownership of record or the power to vote is hereafter acquired by the Stockholders prior to the termination of this Agreement being referred to herein as the “Shares”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties hereby agree as follows:

For the avoidance of doubt, any agreements or other rights such Stockholder may have that relate to any commercial or employment agreements or arrangements between such Stockholder and the Company or any subsidiary are expressly excluded from the foregoing termination and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, including, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement dated May 14, 2020 by and between, among others, Volkswagen Group of America Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Volkswagen”), Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, the Company and QSV Operations LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“QSV”), (ii) the LLC Agreement related to QSV, (iii) other contractual arrangements related to QSV (the agreements under clauses (i) to (iii) together, the “Joint Venture Arrangements”), (iv) the Series F Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2020, by and between the Company and Volkswagen, (v) that certain Side Letter Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2020, by and between the Company and Volkswagen, and (vi) that certain side letter agreement by and among the Company, Kensington and Volkswagen regarding certain representation rights on Kensington’s board of directors, dated on or about the day hereof.

(g)The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, use of the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neutral genders and vice versa, and the definitions of terms contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. The words “includes” or “including” shall mean “including without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “hereby,” “herein,” “hereunder” and similar terms in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular section or article in which such words appear, the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” Any reference to a Law shall include any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall mean such Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. References herein to any contract (including this Agreement) mean such contract as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.

6


 

(h)This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(i)The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

(j)Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

(k)This Agreement may be amended in writing by the parties hereto at any time prior to the Effective Time.  This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

(l)At any time prior to the Effective Time, (i) each party hereto may, solely with respect to itself and not affecting the rights, claims or position of any other party hereto, (A) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party owed to it, (B) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any party contained herein and (C) waive compliance with any agreement of a party hereto or any condition to its own obligations contained herein.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the relevant party.

(m)At the request of Kensington, in the case of any Stockholder, or at the request of any Stockholder, in the case of Kensington, and without further consideration, each party shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional documents and instruments and take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(n)The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.

(b)If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(d)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto (and their permitted assigns), and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(e)This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State.  All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Delaware Chancery Court; provided, however, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal Action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court.  The parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (ii) agree not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein.  Each of the parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient.  Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (A) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (B) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

(f)Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this SECTION 9(f).

(g)The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, use of the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neutral genders and vice versa, and the definitions of terms contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. The words “includes” or “including” shall mean “including without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “hereby,” “herein,” “hereunder” and similar terms in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular section or article in which such words appear, the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” Any reference to a Law shall include any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall mean such Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. References herein to any contract (including this Agreement) mean such contract as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.

6


 

(h)This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(i)The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

(j)Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

(k)This Agreement may be amended in writing by the parties hereto at any time prior to the Effective Time.  This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

(l)At any time prior to the Effective Time, (i) each party hereto may, solely with respect to itself and not affecting the rights, claims or position of any other party hereto, (A) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party owed to it, (B) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any party contained herein and (C) waive compliance with any agreement of a party hereto or any condition to its own obligations contained herein.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the relevant party.

(m)At the request of Kensington, in the case of any Stockholder, or at the request of any Stockholder, in the case of Kensington, and without further consideration, each party shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional documents and instruments and take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(n)The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.

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 prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.5.

Section 2.2.  Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1Piggyback Rights.  If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter(s), if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”).  The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter(s) of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof.  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.

2.2.2Reduction of Piggyback Registration.  If the managing Underwriter(s) 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 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 stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

 

(i)

If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, 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, 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), Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

 

(ii)

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, 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 Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten 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), 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), 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.

2.2.3Piggyback 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.

2.2.4Unlimited 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, and there shall be no limit on the number of Piggyback Registrations.

Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the Filing Deadline (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to one hundred twenty (120) days after the Filing Deadline if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the Commission; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities held by a Holder in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement are contingent upon such Holder furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Holder, the securities of the Company held by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Holder shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.  Once effective, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus included therein continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available, under the Securities Act at all times until the earliest of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities.  The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 shall contain a prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement (subject to lock-up restrictions provided in Section 5.1 of this Agreement), and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, Holders.

2.3.2Notification and Distribution of Materials.  The Company shall notify the Holders in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.

2.3.3Amendments and Supplements.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3.1 above, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities.  If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.3.1 is filed on Form S-3 and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall promptly notify the Holders of such ineligibility and use its best efforts to file a shelf registration on an appropriate form as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that at any time the Company once again becomes eligible to use Form S-3, the Company shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form S-3.

2.3.4SEC Cutback.  Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.3, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof and use its reasonable best efforts to file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”) on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company for such registration statement, on such other form available to


 

register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to further limit its Registrable Securities to be included on the Registration Statement, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders.  In the event the Company amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

2.3.5Underwritten Shelf Takedown.  At any time and from time to time after a Resale Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, the Holders may request to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided, however, that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $10,000,000.  All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the securities requested to be included by any Holder (each a “Takedown Requesting Holder”) at least 48 hours prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of such Holder (including those set forth herein). All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under this subsection 2.3.5 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Takedown Requesting Holders initiating the Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

2.3.6Reduction of Underwritten Shelf Takedown.  If the managing Underwriter(s) in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advise the Company and the Takedown Requesting Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Takedown Requesting Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Takedown Requesting Holders, on a Pro Rata basis, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.3.7Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1.  Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns in any 12-month period.

Section 2.4.  Restrictions on Registration Rights.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to (but may, at its sole option) file a Registration Statement pursuant to a Demand Registration request made under Section 2.1   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 and that the


 

Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective.

Article III
COMPANY PROCEDURES

3.1.11permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriter(s), if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter(s) 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(s), attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriter(s) enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

3.1.12obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants 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(s) may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders and such managing Underwriter;

3.1.13on 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 Underwriter(s), 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(s) 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;

3.1.17otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

Section 3.2.  Registration Expenses.  Including as set forth in Section 2.1.5, all Registration Expenses 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.

Section 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.

The Company shall have the right to defer the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of any Registration Statement pursuant to (a), (b) or (c) for a period of not more than thirty (30) days and the Company shall not defer any such filing, initial effectiveness or use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3.4 no more than twice or for more than a total of sixty (60) days (in each case counting deferrals initiated pursuant to (a), (b) and (c) in the aggregate) in any 12-month period.

Section 3.6.  Limitations on Registration Rights.  The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement and in the event of any conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

Article IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

Section 4.1.  Indemnification

4.1.1The 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 Underwriter(s), their officers and directors and each person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Underwriter(s) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

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

4.1.3Any 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, however, 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, conditioned or delayed).  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 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.

4.1.4The 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 (pursuant to subsection 4.1.5) to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5If 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.

Section 7.5.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State.  All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, however, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court.  The parties hereto hereby (a) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) agree not to commence any action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein.  Each of the parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient.  Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and


 

unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such action is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 7.6.  Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 7.6.  .

Section 7.7.  Headings; Interpretation.  The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, use of the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neutral genders and vice versa, and the definitions of terms contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. The words “includes” or “including” shall mean “including without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “hereby,” “herein,” “hereunder” and similar terms in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular section or article in which such words appear, the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” Any reference to a law shall include any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall mean such law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. References herein to any contract (including this Agreement) mean such contract as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 7.8.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 7.9.  Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Section 7.10.  Expenses.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

Section 7.11.  Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended in writing by the parties hereto at any time prior to the Effective Time.  Following the Effective Time, this Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by (i) the Company, (ii) the Original Holder (provided the Original Holder or its Permitted Transferee(s) holds Registrable Securities at the time of such amendment), (iii) Volkswagen (provided


 

Volkswagen or its Permitted Transferee(s) holds Registrable Securities at the time of such amendment), and (iv) New Holders holding at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by all New Holders (provided the New Holders or their Permitted Transferees hold Registrable Securities at the time of such amendment).

Section 7.12.  Waiver.  At any time, (i) the Company may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any Holder, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any Holder contained herein or in any document delivered by such Holder pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of such Holder or any condition to its own obligations contained herein.  At any time, (i) the Holders may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of the Company, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein or in any document delivered by the Company pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of the Company or any condition to their own obligations contained herein.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.

Section 7.13.  Further Assurances.  At the request of the Company, in the case of any Holder, or at the request of any Holder, in the case of the Company, and without further consideration, each party shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional documents and instruments and take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.14.  No Strict Construction.  The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.

Exhibit 10.4

 

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp.

1400 Old Country Road, Suite 301
Westbury, NY 11590

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) between Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and QuantumScape Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“QuantumScape”), the undersigned desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to sell to the undersigned, that number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ( “Class A Common Stock”), set forth on the signature page hereto for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Price” and the aggregate of such Per Share Price for all Shares subscribed for by the undersigned being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”), on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein. In connection with the Transaction, certain other “accredited investors” (as defined in rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) have entered into separate subscription agreements with the Company (the “Other Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, such investors have, severally and not jointly, together with the undersigned pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, agreed to purchase an aggregate of [●] shares of Class A Common Stock at the Per Share Price (each such investor, including each of the undersigned, a “Subscriber” and together, the “Subscribers”). In connection therewith, the undersigned and the Company agree as follows:

1.Subscription. Subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, the undersigned hereby, severally and not jointly, irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is set forth on its respective signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein (the “Shares”). The undersigned understands and agrees that the Company reserves the right to accept or reject the undersigned’s subscription for the Shares for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance by the Company, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of the Company; the Company may do so in counterpart form. In the event of rejection of a portion of the subscription by the Company, the undersigned’s payment hereunder will be promptly returned to the undersigned in proportion to the rejected portion of the subscription. In the event of rejection of the entire subscription by the Company or the termination of this subscription in accordance with the terms hereof, the undersigned’s payment hereunder will be returned promptly to the undersigned along with this Subscription Agreement, and this Subscription Agreement shall be null and void and have no force or effect.


 

2.Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Subscription Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing”). The Subscription Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to, the consummation of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing Date”). Not less than five (5) business days prior to the scheduled Transaction Closing Date, the Company shall provide written notice to the undersigned (the “Closing Notice”) (i) of such scheduled Transaction Closing Date, (ii) that the Company reasonably expects all conditions to the Transaction Closing to be satisfied or waived, and (iii) wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to the Escrow Agent (as defined below) or the Company, as applicable. The undersigned shall deliver to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), at least one (1) business day prior to the Transaction Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Purchase Price, which shall be held in a segregated escrow account for the benefit of the Subscriber (the “Escrow Account”) until the Subscription Closing pursuant to the terms of a customary escrow agreement, which shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the undersigned (the “Escrow Agreement”) to be entered into by the undersigned, the Company and the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice; provided, however, that in the event the undersigned is not legally permitted to deliver the Purchase Price in accordance with this sentence or is otherwise expected by its primary regulator to deliver payment against delivery of the Shares, the undersigned shall instruct its custodian bank to deliver to the Company, by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date, the Purchase Price by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice. On the Transaction Closing Date, upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 2 and prior to the release of the Purchase Price by the undersigned, the Company shall deliver to the undersigned (i) the Shares in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws as set forth herein), in the name of the undersigned (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by the undersigned, as applicable, and (ii) a copy of the records of the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) showing the undersigned (or such nominee or custodian) as the owner of the Shares on and as of the Transaction Closing Date; provided that, (x) if such book entry is made prior to the Company’s receipt of the Purchase Price from the undersigned and (y) such Purchase Price is not received by the Company on the Transaction Closing Date, then without limiting any rights of any party under this Agreement, the Company may, without any action of the undersigned, cause such book entries to be automatically cancelled, void and of no further force and effect. If the Transaction Closing does not occur within two (2) business days of the Transaction Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Escrow Agent (or the Company, as applicable) shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to the undersigned by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the undersigned. Furthermore, if the Transaction Closing does not occur on the same day as the Subscription Closing, the Escrow Agent (or the Company, if the Purchase Price has been released by the Escrow Agent or if the Purchase Price was paid directly to the Company) shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to the undersigned by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the undersigned, and any book-entries and, if applicable, certificated shares, shall be deemed cancelled (and, in the case of certificated shares, the undersigned shall promptly return such certificates to the Company or, as directed by the Company, to the Company’s representative or agent).

2


 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9 hereof, if this Subscription Agreement terminates following the delivery by the undersigned of the Purchase Price for the Shares, the Escrow Agent (or the Company, if the Purchase Price was paid directly to the Company) shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to the undersigned by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the undersigned, without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, or set-off, whether or not the Transaction Closing shall have occurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9 hereof, if this Subscription Agreement terminates following the Transaction Closing, the undersigned shall promptly upon the return to the undersigned by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the undersigned, without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, or set-off of the Purchase Price by the Escrow Agent or the Company, as applicable, transfer the Shares to the Company.

For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed.

3.Closing Conditions.

8.Registration Rights.

a.In the event that the Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the Company agrees that, within fifteen (15) business days after the consummation of the Transaction (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering such resale, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) 60th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Filing Deadline, and (ii) ten business days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the undersigned furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the undersigned, the securities of the Company held by the undersigned and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares, and the undersigned shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations; provided, further, however, that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Subscriber for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. In no event shall the undersigned be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless in response to a comment or request from the staff of the Commission or another regulatory agency; provided, however, that if the Commission requests that the undersigned be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the undersigned will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Shares may be resold without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(2) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), (ii) the date on which all Shares have actually been sold and (iii) the date which is three (3) years after the Subscription Closing (the “Effectiveness Period”). For as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act (when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the undersigned), as applicable, qualify the Shares for listing on NYSE or other applicable stock exchange on which the Company’s Class A common stock is then listed, and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Shares.  For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 8.

13


 

b.In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance.  At its expense the Company shall:

advise the undersigned within two (2) business days:

(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(2)of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

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

(4)of the receipt by the Company 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

(5)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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising the undersigned of such events, provide the undersigned with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to the undersigned of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (5) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;

 

ii.

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

 

iii.

upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 8.b.ii, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company 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;

14


 

 

iv.

use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Class A Shares issued by the Company have been listed;

 

v.

use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Shares contemplated hereby and to enable Subscriber to sell the Shares under Rule 144; and

 

vi.

cause the Transfer Agent to remove any restrictive legend set at the undersigned’s request, when the Shares are sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or the Registration Statement. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s Transfer Agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its Transfer Agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the Transfer Agent to issue such Shares without any such legend.

c.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require any Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that (x) the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period and (y) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the undersigned of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain material non-public information) 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, each Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until such Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company 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 the Company that it may resume

15


 

such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company except (A) for disclosure to the Subscriber’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential, and (B) as otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, each Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in such Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in such Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent such Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

d.The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors and agents of each of them, and each person who controls such Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, 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, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 8, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by such Subscriber expressly for use therein or such Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 8 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company 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 a Subscriber, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Company in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a freewriting prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Company, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of a Subscriber in violation of Section 8.d hereof. The Company shall notify such Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 8 of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares by such Subscriber.

16


 

e.Each Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by such Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 8 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of any Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Each Subscriber shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 8 of which such Subscriber is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares by such Subscriber.

9.Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force or effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such time as the Company notifies the undersigned in writing, or publicly discloses, that it does not intend to consummate the Transaction, (b) following the execution of a definitive agreement among the Company and QuantumScape with respect to the Transaction (a “Transaction Agreement”), such date and time as such Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms without the Transaction being consummated, (c) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (d) if any of the conditions to the Subscription Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived on or prior to the Subscription Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Subscription Closing, or (e) if the consummation of the Transaction shall not have occurred by the earlier of (x) the 10th business day after the anticipated Transaction Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, or (y) March 2, 2021; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall promptly notify the undersigned of the termination of the Transaction Agreement after the termination of such agreement.

c.If any term or other provision of this Subscription Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Subscription Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

i.This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

j.The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Subscription Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

1.

We hereby declare, represent and warrant that:

we are purchasing the Shares as principal for our own account, or are deemed to be purchasing the Shares as principal for our own account in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, and not as agent for the benefit of another investor;

(e)

the acquisition of Shares does not and will not contravene any applicable Canadian securities laws, rules or policies of the jurisdiction in which we are resident and does not trigger (i) any obligation to prepare and file a prospectus or similar document or (ii) any registration or other similar obligation on the part of any person;

 

(f)

we will execute and deliver within the applicable time periods all documentation as may be required by applicable Canadian securities laws to permit the purchase of the Shares on the terms set forth herein and, if required by applicable Canadian securities laws, will execute, deliver and file or assist the Company in obtaining and filing such reports, undertakings and other documents relating to the purchase of the Shares as may be required by any applicable Canadian securities laws, securities regulator, stock exchange or other regulatory authority; and

neither we nor any party on whose behalf we are acting has been established, formed or incorporated solely to acquire or permit the purchase of Shares without a prospectus in reliance on an exemption from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws.

2.

We are aware of the characteristics of the Shares, the risks relating to an investment therein and agree that we must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares. We understand that we will not be able to resell the Shares under applicable Canadian securities laws except in accordance with limited exemptions and compliance with other requirements of applicable law, and we (and not the Company) are responsible for compliance with applicable resale restrictions or hold periods and will comply with all relevant Canadian securities laws in connection with any resale of the Shares.

5.

We confirm we have reviewed applicable resale restrictions under relevant Canadian legislation and regulations.

9.

We consent to the collection, use and disclosure of certain personal information for the purposes of meeting legal, regulatory, self-regulatory, security and audit requirements (including any applicable tax, securities, money laundering or anti-terrorism legislation, rules or regulations) and as otherwise permitted or required by law, which disclosures may include disclosures to tax, securities or other regulatory or self-regulatory authorities in Canada and/or in foreign jurisdictions, if applicable, in connection with the regulatory oversight mandate of such authorities.

Attn: Kevin Duke

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned signatory (the “Employee”) of this lock-up agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) understands that Kensington Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“KCAC”), is entering into the Business Combination Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “BCA”), dated as of the date hereof, with Kensington Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KCAC (“Merger Sub”), and QuantumScape Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”) and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of KCAC, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the BCA and in accordance with applicable law (the “Effective Time”).  

As a material inducement to the parties hereto to enter into the BCA and to support, vote in favor of and consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA, and for other good and valuable consideration (including the Equity Exercise Extension (as defined below) and the Bonus Payment (as defined below)), the Employee agrees as follows:

1.

Definitions

 

(a)

Initial Lock-up Period” shall mean the period commencing upon the Effective Time and ending on the earlier of (1) 180 days after the Effective Time or (2) the date on which a lock-up release is granted to any party to that certain Registration Rights and Lock-up Agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and among KCAC and the parties listed on Schedule A thereto.

following the Effective Time, plus (4) KCAC Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant or upon settlement of any restricted stock units or other convertible or exercisable security granted or issued by KCAC to the Employee following the Effective Time.  For the avoidance of doubt, “Shares” shall not include KCAC Common Stock acquired on the open market or under the KCAC Employee Stock Purchase Plan following the Effective Time.

 

(d)

Transfer” shall mean the (a) sale, transfer, hypothecation, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or other disposition of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, transfer, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any of the Shares, (b) 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 of the Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b).  

2.

Lock-up Restrictions.  Subject to the exceptions set forth in this Letter Agreement, without the unanimous approval of the board of directors of KCAC (the “Board”), as follows:

 

(a)

The Employee will not Transfer any of the Shares during the Initial Lock-up Period.

 

(b)

Following the Initial Lock-up Period, the Employee will not Transfer any of the Shares during the term of this Letter Agreement, except as follows:

 

(i)

During the first year after the Effective Time, the Employee may Transfer without restriction up to 25% of the total number of Shares.

 

(ii)

Following the first anniversary of the Effective Time until the termination of this Letter Agreement pursuant to Section 2(c), the Employee may Transfer without restriction a cumulative total (taking into account Transfers made in the first year) of up to 50% of the total number of Shares.

 

(iii)

In addition to Transfers permitted under the prior paragraphs, the Employee may Transfer without restriction up to an additional 50% of the total number of Shares following satisfaction of agreed delivery requirements between the Company and Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. or its affiliates (“VW”) as set forth on Exhibit A.

 

(c)

The lock-up restrictions set forth in Section 2(b) shall automatically terminate upon the earliest of: (i) the four year anniversary of the Effective Time; (ii) such date on which KCAC completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of KCAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of KCAC Common Stock for cash, securities or other property; (iii) such date as of which VW terminates for any reason the Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2020, by and among the Company and VW (as may be amended from time to time, the “JV Agreement”); (iv) such date on which VW issues a critical or negative statement regarding KCAC and its technology (as reasonably interpreted by the chief legal officer of KCAC) unless such statement is required to be made by VW under applicable law and is truthful and accurate; or (v) such date that VW has Transferred a number of shares of KCAC Common Stock owned of record or beneficially by VW as of the Effective Time or purchased by VW from the Company (collectively, the “VW

2

 


 

 

Shares”) (A) during the first year after the Effective Time, in excess of 25% of the total number of VW Shares, (B) following the first anniversary of the Effective Time until the termination of this Letter Agreement pursuant to this Section 2(c), a cumulative total (taking into account Transfers made in the first year) in excess of 50% of the total number of VW Shares, or (C) at any time prior to the satisfaction of agreed delivery requirements between the Company and VW as set forth on Exhibit A, in excess of 50% of the total number of VW Shares.

3.

Permitted Transfers.  Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth above, Transfers of Shares shall be permitted (a) by gift to a member of the Employee’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the Employee’s immediate family, an affiliate of such individual or to a charitable organization; (b) by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the Employee; (c) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (d) to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the exercise of options to purchase shares of KCAC Common Stock or the vesting of stock-based awards (provided such newly acquired shares are substituted for such Shares); or (e) in payment on a “net exercise” or “cashless” basis of the exercise or purchase price with respect to the exercise of options to purchase shares of KCAC Common Stock (provided such newly acquired shares are substituted for such Shares); provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (c), the relevant permitted transferee(s) must enter into a written agreement with KCAC agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions herein (including for the avoidance of doubt this Section 3).

4.

Extended Exercise Period; Loss of ISO status.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in an award agreement, if the Employee ceases to be a Service Provider (as defined in the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated) during the term of this Letter Agreement, then each of the Employee’s then outstanding stock options to purchase KCAC Common Stock (to the extent that such option is vested on the date of termination of service) shall remain exercisable until the later of (a) the end of the post-termination exercise period set forth in the award agreement and (b) three (3) months following the four year anniversary of the Effective Time (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such option as set forth in the award agreement and subject to earlier termination in connection with the provisions of the applicable equity incentive plan regarding liquidation, dissolution, merger, change in control and similar transactions) (the “Equity Exercise Extension”). The Employee understands and acknowledges that, for any portion of an option that qualifies as an incentive stock option (“ISO”) and is outstanding as of the Effective Time, that option will be deemed modified by this Letter Agreement.  As a result, as of the Effective Time, the Equity Exercise Extension will immediately result in the applicable ISOs becoming nonstatutory stock options.  

5.

Bonus Payment.  Upon the consummation of the Merger, KCAC or the Company shall pay to the Employee a one-time cash bonus equal to 20% of the Employee’s then annual base salary, less applicable withholdings (the “Bonus Payment”), which will be paid on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the closing of the Merger and in any event within thirty (30) days after the closing of the Merger.

6.

General.

 

(a)

The Employee hereby represents and warrants that the Employee has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it is bound, to enter into this Letter Agreement.

 

(b)

This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes 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 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

3

 


 

 

all parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with VW’s prior written consent, the Board may waive the restrictions contained in this Letter Agreement in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any waiver must apply to all Employees with Letter Agreements.

 

(c)

This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the Employee and its successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees.  Nothing in this Letter Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties hereto any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Letter Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Letter Agreement shall be enforceable by VW.  All agreements contained in this Letter Agreement shall be for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

 

(d)

This Letter Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Letter Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof.  Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Letter Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

 

(e)

This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction.  The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Letter Agreement shall be brought and enforced in Santa Clara County, California, and irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

 

(f)

Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery or facsimile transmission.

 

(g)

In addition, this Letter Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect on the date, if any, the BCA is terminated for any reason prior to the closing of the Merger.

Re: Earmarking of Proceeds from Prospective Business Combination of QuantumScape Corporation with Kensington Capital Acquisition Corporation (the “Merger”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is intended to confirm the agreement among QuantumScape Corporation (“QuantumScape”), Kensington Capital Acquisition Corporation (“Kensington”) and Volkswagen Group of America Investments, LLC (“VWGoAI”) regarding the Merger.

Kensington and QuantumScape believes the Merger will benefit both QuantumScape and VWGoAI by providing QuantumScape additional capital to advance its business and to meet its obligations to each of VWGoAI and QSV Operations LLC.  Kensington and QuantumScape agree that QuantumScape will reserve proceeds (such reserved proceeds, the “Earmarked Funds”) from the Series F Preferred Stock financing and the capital obtained through the Merger (including any concurrent “PIPE” financing) in a separate account to fully fund its expected equity contributions pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of QSV Operations LLC, dated May 14, 2020 (the “LLC Agreement”), which the parties agree today amounts to $134 million.  The Earmarked Funds shall only be invested in U.S. bank accounts or money market funds having a AAA rating and Kensington and QuantumScape shall provide VWGoAI with a bank statement reflecting the current balance in such account promptly at any time VWGoAI requests the same.

QuantumScape agrees that the Merger will not affect the LLC Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect immediately following the closing of the Merger.

The parties are entering into this letter agreement in connection with an amendment to the May 14, 2020, Series F Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement among the parties, which amendment is due and valid consideration for the agreements made by Kensington and QuantumScape above.  Upon execution by the parties hereto, this letter agreement will represent a binding agreement among Kensington, QuantumScape and VWGoAI.  The provisions of Article IX of the LLC Agreement shall apply to this letter agreement mutatis mutandis.

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

NEXT-GEN BATTERY COMPANY QUANTUMSCAPE TO LIST ON NYSE THROUGH MERGER WITH KENSINGTON CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORP.

 

 

QuantumScape Corporation has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: KCAC); upon closing, the combined company will remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “QS”

 

QuantumScape raises over $700 million in proceeds through the business combination, including a $500 million fully committed PIPE anchored by institutional investors including Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC and Janus Henderson Investors

 

Transaction results in over $1 billion in cash and funding commitments, including QuantumScape’s Series F financing led by the Volkswagen Group and Qatar Investment Authority (QIA)

 

QuantumScape and Volkswagen have previously announced a joint venture to enable industrial-level production of solid-state batteries for use in VW’s vehicles

 

Pro forma implied enterprise value of the combined company is approximately $3.3 billion

 

SAN JOSE, CA / WESTBURY, NY (September 3, 2020) – QuantumScape Corporation (“QuantumScape”), a leader in the development of next generation solid-state lithium-metal batteries for use in electric vehicles, and Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. (“Kensington”) (NYSE: KCAC), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced a definitive agreement for a business combination that would result in QuantumScape becoming a publicly listed company. Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will be named QuantumScape and is expected to remain listed on the NYSE and trade under the new ticker symbol “QS”.

 

In the decade since the company was founded, QuantumScape has been exclusively focused on developing solid-state batteries and designing a scalable manufacturing process to commercialize its battery technology for the automotive industry. QuantumScape believes the proceeds from this transaction will fully fund the company through the start of production via its joint venture with the Volkswagen Group (“Volkswagen”).

 

Jagdeep Singh, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of QuantumScape, commented, “Today marks an important milestone of advancing QuantumScape’s effort in developing the next generation of solid-state batteries to meet the needs of all future electric vehicles as the world transitions to zero emissions. Ten years ago, we embarked upon an ambitious goal that most thought was impossible. Through the tireless work of QuantumScape’s more than 200 scientists and engineers, and our partnership with Volkswagen since 2012, we have developed a new battery technology that is unlike anything else in the world. We are now excited to partner with Kensington’s unique team of world-class automotive executives, who share our vision of a cleaner and safer future powered by QuantumScape. This vote of confidence from investors, and the capital provided by this transaction, will drive a more sustainable future for generations to come.”  

 

Justin Mirro, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kensington, who will join the combined company Board of Directors, added, “We are extremely excited and honored to partner with QuantumScape, as this represents a unique opportunity to invest in a pure-play battery company that is positioned to transform the auto industry. Kensington considered hundreds of automotive companies and QuantumScape stands out as the leading company to play a pivotal role in the advancement of electric vehicles. Through the vision and leadership of Jagdeep Singh, QuantumScape has created a world-class team that is developing the next generation of solid-state batteries that will achieve the future performance requirements of leading vehicle manufacturers. By combining QuantumScape with Kensington’s deep industry expertise and capital from this transaction, we are confident that QuantumScape’s investment thesis has been significantly enhanced.”

 

 


 

Volkswagen, one of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers, and QuantumScape have previously announced the formation of a manufacturing joint venture to prepare for the mass production of solid-state batteries for Volkswagen. QuantumScape’s relationship with Volkswagen dates back to 2012 and includes collaboration on battery cell development, the testing of prototype cells, previously announced funding commitments of over $300 million, and representation on QuantumScape’s Board of Directors.

 

Former Tesla Chief Technology Officer and current QuantumScape board member JB Straubel commented, “QuantumScape’s solid-state anode-less design represents the most elegant architecture I’ve seen for a lithium-based battery system, and the company has an opportunity to redefine the battery landscape.”

 

Venture capitalist, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, and current QuantumScape board member Vinod Khosla added, “When we backed QuantumScape ten years ago, we knew it was a bold vision to transform one of the world's largest industries. We are therefore thrilled that the team has developed technology that addresses the single largest cost component and deficiency of electric cars, the battery. By enabling greater range and much faster charge times, we believe QuantumScape’s technology will assist EVs in becoming significantly more competitive with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, paving the way for greater adoption and a greener future.”

 

“The merger with Kensington and associated PIPE transaction allows us to fund our business plans to first production,” continued Jagdeep Singh. “We look forward to executing on continued product development and validation through to first revenue and what we believe will be significant growth thereafter.”

 

Transaction Overview

The business combination values QuantumScape at an implied $3.3 billion pro forma enterprise value. The boards of directors of both Kensington and QuantumScape have approved the proposed transaction, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020, subject to, among other things, the approval by Kensington’s stockholders and satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions stated in the definitive documentation.

 

The private placement of common stock includes commitments from institutional investors Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC and Janus Henderson Investors.

I will now turn the call over to Mr. Justin Mirro. Please go ahead, sir.

Justin Mirro – Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp.

Thank you operator and good day to everyone. My name is Justin Mirro and I am the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kensington. We are thrilled to announce this transaction today between Kensington and QuantumScape.

In our view, the single greatest mega-trend and structural paradigm shift in the automotive industry today is the advancement of electric mobility. Many global automobile manufacturers are accelerating their transition to electric vehicles, as reflected by the hundreds of billions of dollars expected to be invested into this sector over the next five years. Through the vision and leadership of founder and CEO, Jagdeep Singh, QuantumScape is developing the next generation of solid-state lithium-metal batteries for use in these vehicles. In doing so, QuantumScape is redefining the frontier of battery technology, and positioning the company to play a pivotal role in the electrification of the global automotive fleet.

Kensington is an automotive-focused SPAC with more than 300 combined years of automotive experience leading some of the largest automobile manufacturers and suppliers in the world. It is with this significant expertise that we underwent an extensive due diligence process to identify the best long-term investment for Kensington’s shareholders. Our search involved hundreds of prospects, and after several rounds of narrowing our focus on investment opportunities, QuantumScape emerged as the most attractive partner for us and a company that we firmly believe will shape the future of the auto industry.

Our process involved reviewing the technical, commercial, and financial results of QuantumScape and then using global automotive standards to validate the company’s business plan. Our capabilities will also benefit QuantumScape beyond the initial business combination, as the industry expertise within our team is well suited to further accelerate the commercialization of these next generation batteries.

The transaction announced today is expected to result in gross proceeds of more than 700 million dollars, including a 500 million dollar fully committed PIPE, reflecting a pro forma enterprise value of approximately 3.3 billion dollars. The merger is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020. Current QuantumScape investors will be rolling 100% of their equity into this transaction, as all proceeds will be retained by the business to fuel the company’s growth. 

Upon the close of the transaction, QuantumScape will have over 1 billion dollars of cash and no debt. This is significant in that it allows the company to fully fund its business plan, which includes the remaining development and large-scale production of QuantumScape’s solid-state batteries. Specifically, the funding reflected in this transaction allows QuantumScape to build its pilot manufacturing facility with its joint venture partner, Volkswagen, by 2024. 

Our team at Kensington has known Jagdeep for a long time and we are very impressed by the depth and breadth of the men and women of QuantumScape. We are excited to partner with this world-class team and embark on this journey together – playing our part in making the world better, safer and greener. I will now turn the call over to Jagdeep Singh, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of QuantumScape. Jagdeep?

Jagdeep Singh – Founder & Chief Executive Officer, QuantumScape Corporation

Thank you Justin and hello to everyone. I echo Justin’s excitement, and I know I speak on behalf of the entire QuantumScape team when I say that I am delighted to announce this transaction with Kensington that we expect will allow us to commercially deploy our disruptive battery technology for the benefit of many around the world.

We believe that a once-in-a-century event is in the early days of unfolding with the electrification of the automotive industry. Today, just 2% of all vehicles sold are electric. If electrification of the automotive powertrain were to reach its full potential, we see a battery industry that can generate hundreds of billions of dollars of revenue per year for the next several decades. Further, our business is at the core of sustainability and addresses key ESG attributes that are so critical to so many, as our technology enables a reduction in global CO2 emissions, is designed around abundant resources, and enables clean energy sources.

To further evolve the global electric vehicle landscape, we see the availability of a better battery as mission critical. At QuantumScape, we believe we have developed the key enabling technology that will propel this generational shift towards its full potential. We have developed a proprietary solid-state separator, which forms the heart of a solid-state battery, to construct our solid-state cells. Over the past decade, my team and I have focused exclusively on identifying and engineering the right materials to develop this technology and position us to achieve successful commercialization. We have also dedicated significant time and resources in designing a scalable manufacturing processes for producing and commercially deploying this battery technology.

In fact, there is probably no greater vote of confidence than Volkswagen’s announcement that they have decided to enter into a manufacturing joint venture with QuantumScape to prepare for mass production of these solid-state batteries for use by their company. Based on our engagement with VW, we believe we are the only company to have successfully developed such a technology with automotive OEM validation.

VW is the world’s largest automotive company, and our non-exclusive relationship with this tremendously influential OEM dates back to 2012. As VW has previously announced, our two companies have collaborated throughout this journey, including product development and testing of our prototype cells, and will continue our close relationship as reflected by VW’s representation on our board of directors, their commitment of more than 300 million dollars in funding, and their commitment of additional dollars to help fund the manufacturing joint venture.

Our company has been guided by a fantastic management team. My co-founders include Professor Fritz Prinz of Stanford University, a physicist by background with joint appointments in materials science and mechanical engineering, and Dr. Tim Holme, who earned his PhD at Stanford under Professor Prinz and is our Chief Technology Officer. We are also pleased to have Dr. Mohit Singh, a polymer physicist from UC Berkeley who started and successfully sold a previous solid-state energy storage company, serve as our Chief Development Officer.

Our Board of Directors is equally impressive and will be an essential part of our ongoing success and development. Our Board is comprised of three well known venture capitalists, complemented by some real all-stars in what we refer to as our operating “bench.” This includes JB Straubel, Tesla’s former longtime Chief Technology Officer, known for his role in pioneering the lithium-ion battery powertrain design; Frank Blome, who represents VW on our Board, is the head of VW’s Battery Center of Excellence – the group responsible for procuring and supplying batteries across the entire VW Group; Jürgen Leohold, the former head of worldwide research at VW, who brings a deep understanding of both battery and vehicle technology; and, finally, Brad Buss, a former Tesla board member and former CFO of Solar City and Cypress Semiconductor, who will serve as our Audit Committee Chair.

Briefly on some of our financial backers that have supported our journey. In addition to VW, we are honored to be supported by Continental, a German multinational automotive parts company, Shanghai Automotive, China’s largest car company, and Bill Gates.

Turning back to our product and technology – we believe our lithium-metal battery technology is a game changer. Our solid-state battery technology addresses the key limitations of traditional lithium-ion battery technology, and we think this positions EVs to be much more competitive with internal combustion engine vehicles that today account for 98% of all vehicles sold. Our technology is supported by more than 200 patents, including patents pending, and extensive trade secrets. These will be instrumental in keeping us ahead of the competitive curve.

We believe our battery technology provides five key benefits as compared to traditional lithium-ion technology that makes our offering the ideal solution for use in electric vehicles:

 

Higher energy density

 

Faster charge times

 

Improved battery cycle life

 

Enhanced safety, and

 

Lower cost

I’d like to take a moment to walk through each of these core factors:

3

 


 

 

 

1.

First, higher energy density. At the root of this is the need for next generation battery solutions to provide a competitive driving range as compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. We believe our batteries will be able to deliver nearly double the range provided by traditional lithium-ion batteries. Our technology completely eliminates the graphite or silicon anode host material found in traditional lithium-ion batteries, with our pure lithium-metal material taking up less volume and mass than the graphite or silicon anode host material. This decreases the volume of the anode and so significantly increases the energy density of the battery and range of the vehicle. By contrast, lithium-ion batteries do not offer sufficient energy density to allow EVs to have a driving range that is competitive with internal combustion engine vehicles.

 

2.

Second, faster charge times. We believe it is critical for EV batteries to be able to recharge quickly to remain competitive with today’s internal combustion vehicles that have a refuel time measured in minutes. Through our innovative approach, we have developed a solution that delivers charge times of less than 15 minutes based on our current prototype. In addition to the benefit of higher energy density, our graphite or silicon-free anode design eliminates the charge bottleneck of having lithium diffuse through the graphite or silicon anode material, drastically reducing the time needed to recharge our battery.

 

3.

Third, improved battery cycle life. An EV battery must at least match the lifespan of the vehicle it is powering. Our technology provides improved battery cycle life because by not having a liquid electrolyte in contact with the graphite, lithium is not gradually “chewed up” over time through side reactions, which is an inevitability in conventional lithium-ion batteries. By contrast, the cycle life of currently available lithium-ion batteries can be less than a vehicle’s useful life, reflecting a significant burden on the overall cost of EV ownership.

 

4.

Fourth, enhanced safety. In addition to supporting sustainability through the increased usage of cleaner vehicles, we are intensely focused on delivering a solution that addresses safety, including the inherent risk of combustion and fire in the currently available liquid-electrolyte battery technology. Our batteries utilize a non-oxidizable, non-flammable electrolyte, reducing fuel content, significantly reducing the risk of fire, and resulting in greater battery and vehicle operating safety.

 

5.

And fifth, lower costs. Batteries can be a major driver of the overall price of an electric vehicle. Because of their high costs, modern day batteries mean that most long-range EVs cost in excess of 50,000 dollars while vehicles at this price point account for less than 2% of global demand. Therefore, we believe it is critical to deliver a lower-cost battery, driving enhanced EV affordability. Our design lowers costs by eliminating both the material and manufacturing costs associated with the anode materials. In fact, we estimate a 15-20% reduction in total cost versus traditional lithium-ion batteries by avoiding the use of these substances in our battery technology.

We are currently in the product development and testing phase and expect this to continue through the first half of 2022, at which point we should be ready to begin OEM sample testing.

Having explained the key benefits of our product, we will now discuss the outlook for bringing our lithium-metal battery technology to market, including our manufacturing and scale-up timeline.

Although our manufacturing processes are proprietary, the tools we need are already used at scale in the battery and ceramics industries. Materials for our proprietary solid-state separator are abundant and have robust and well-established supply chains. Kevin Hettrich, our CFO, also leads manufacturing planning, so I will now turn it over to him to elaborate on this further and touch on our financials. Kevin?

Kevin Hettrich – Chief Financial Officer, QuantumScape Corporation

Thank you Jagdeep. We are actively planning “QS-1”, our first manufacturing facility that will be built in two stages. For our initial 1GWh of production capacity—the equivalent of ten-thousand battery electric vehicles—we plan to order long lead time equipment next year and start production in 2024. For our follow-on 20GWh expansion—the equivalent of two-hundred thousand battery electric vehicles—we plan to order long lead time equipment upon cell validation from the initial phase of QS-1 and start production for the expansion in 2026.

Briefly, on our financials. We believe that cash from this transaction fully funds the business through start of production, purchases long lead time equipment for our 20GWh expansion and fully funds our R&D pipeline. We expect to generate revenues beginning in 2024, to ramp up to multi-hundred million in revenue in 2026, to achieve multi-billion in revenue in 2027, and to double from 2027 levels in 2028. In 2028, with an expected just over 90GWh of capacity—the equivalent of 900,000 battery electric vehicles—and greater than 6 billion dollars in revenue, our capacity and sales would still represent less than 1% of current global annual vehicle demand, and less than 10% of annual sales for any top-3 automotive OEM.

We expect to deliver EBITDA margins in the mid-20 percent range by 2027 as we combine industry scale with manufacturing cost savings enabled by our technology’s “anode free” design. This drives more than 800 million dollars of EBITDA in 2027, and achieves positive free cash flow in 2028.

Post “QS-1”, we will have a blueprint for future factory expansion. In addition to building wholly-owned factories, we expect to have multiple non-dilutive options to fund future commercialization, including pre-paid revenue from customers, continued use of a JV model, and licensing opportunities. We are focused on automotive—both its rigorous product requirements and massive market opportunity. Not included are other energy storage markets to which this technology would also apply.

For additional information, we encourage you to review our investor presentation that was released along with other transaction-related materials. I will now turn it back to Jagdeep for closing remarks.

Jagdeep Singh – Founder & Chief Executive Officer, QuantumScape Corporation

Thanks Kevin. We look forward to completing the merger with Justin and his team at Kensington and transitioning to the public markets as the preeminent provider of solid state battery technology. Thank you very much and have a great day.
