The following documents, which have previously been filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act and pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are incorporated by reference herein and shall be deemed to be a part hereof:

 

(a)the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Commission on March 29, 2022;

 

(b)the Registrant’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 filed with the Commission on May 12, 2022 and for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 filed with the Commission on August 12, 2022;

 

(c)the Registrant’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on February 2, 2022, April 4, 2022, April 12, 2022, June 7, 2022, July 28, 2022, August 3, 2022, August 5, 2022, August 19, 2022, August 30, 2022, August 31, 2022, and October 14, 2022; and

 

(d)the description of the Registrant’s securities contained in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on August 15, 2022, including all amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.

 

In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicate that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregister all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless specifically stated to the contrary, none of the information that the Registrant discloses under Items 2.02 or 7.01 of any Current Report on Form 8-K that it may from time to time furnish to the Commission will be incorporated by reference into, or otherwise included in, this Registration Statement.

 

Any statement, including financial statements, contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or therein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

 

Item 4.Description of Securities.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5.Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

 

Not applicable.

 

3

 

 

Item 6.Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for the indemnification of current and former officers and directors of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Registrant has entered into agreements with its officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Registrant’s certificate of incorporation.

 

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against the Registrant’s directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Registrant and its stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent the Registrant pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

The Plan also requires the Registrant to indemnify and hold harmless the Compensation Committee of the Registrant’s Board of Directors, and each other employee, officer or director of the Registrant to whom any duty or power to administer or interpret the Plan may be allocated, against any expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or willful bad faith.

Item 9.Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re:Rubicon Technologies, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) of Rubicon Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the offering by the Company of up to 31,485,711 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), under the Rubicon Technologies, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

 

We have examined the originals, or photostatic or certified copies, of such records of the Company and certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and such other documents as we have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed that there are no agreements or understandings between or among the Company and any participants in the Plan that would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the Plan or the respective rights or obligations of the participants thereunder. Finally, we have assumed the accuracy of all other information provided to us by the Company during the course of our investigations, on which we have relied in issuing the opinion expressed below.

 

Based upon the foregoing examination and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein and in reliance on the statements of fact contained in the documents that we have examined, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms set forth in the Plan, as applicable, and against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the form of agreement documenting the awards under which the Shares may be issued, and when the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

We render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). This opinion is limited to the effect of the current state of the DGCL and the facts as they currently exist. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such law or the interpretations thereof or such facts. We express no opinion regarding any state securities laws or regulations.

 

 

 

 

 

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and we further consent to the use of our name in the Registration Statement and the prospectus that forms a part thereof. In giving these consents, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission.

 

Very truly yours,

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

 

These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to the Award of Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Rubicon Technologies, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which are evidenced by a Grant Notice or an action of the Committee that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and Conditions. In addition to these Standard Terms and Conditions, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into these Standard Terms and Conditions by this reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

 

1.TERMS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

 

Rubicon Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Participant named in the Grant Notice provided to said Participant herewith (the “Grant Notice”) an award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Award” or “RSUs”) specified in the Grant Notice, with each Restricted Stock Unit representing the right to receive one share of Common Stock. The Award is subject to the conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan. For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Grant Notice, any reference to the Company shall include a reference to any Subsidiary.

 

2.SETTLEMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

 

As soon as administratively practicable after February 11, 2023, but in no event later than March 15, 2023, the Company shall deliver to the Participant shares of Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs.

 

3.RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER; DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

 

(a) The Participant shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any RSUs (including any voting rights or rights to dividends or distributions paid on shares of Common Stock, except as provided in Section 3(b)) unless and until shares of Common Stock settled for such RSUs shall have been issued by the Company to the Participant (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).

 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Grant Date and until the earlier of (i) the Participant’s receipt of Common Stock upon settlement of RSUs and (ii) the time when the Participant’s right to receive Common Stock upon settlement of RSUs is forfeited, on the date that the Company pays a cash dividend (if any) to holders of Common Stock generally, the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalents equal to the product of (A) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Common Stock and (B) the total number of outstanding RSUs held by the Participant on the record date for such dividend. Such Dividend Equivalents (if any) shall be accrued in a Company bookkeeping account and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled in cash, without interest, or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the RSUs to which the Dividend Equivalents were credited.

Restricted Stock Units

 

 

 

 

4.RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES OF SHARES

 

The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to RSUs, including (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant and other holders and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.

 

5.INCOME TAXES

 

To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of the grant or vesting of the RSUs. Unless otherwise determined by the Company or unless the Participant pays the withholding tax obligations to the Company by cash or check at the time of settlement, the withholding tax obligations shall be satisfied by the sale within an administratively reasonable period of time on or after the date such obligation arises of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the RSUs reasonably expected to be required to satisfy any or all withholding tax obligations and selling expenses by a broker selected or approved by the Company at such fees and pursuant to such rules and process as the Company may reasonably approve. Participant will bear the brokerage fees and other costs associated with sales and related transmission of funds. The Participant shall have no right to affect or influence any adjustments that the Company may elect to make to the number of shares of Common Stock sold for this purpose. The Participant acknowledges that the Company shall have the right to deduct any remaining taxes required to be withheld by law in connection with the delivery of the RSUs from any amounts payable by it to the Participant (including future cash wages). The Company shall not be required to issue shares of Common Stock or to recognize the disposition of such shares until all withholding tax obligations are satisfied.

 

6.NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARD

 

Except as permitted by the Committee or as permitted under Section 17 of the Plan, the Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise directly or indirectly encumbered or disposed of other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

 

7.OTHER AGREEMENTS SUPERSEDED

 

The Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Participant and the Company regarding the Award. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Award are superseded.

 

A-2

 

 

8.LIMITATION OF INTEREST IN SHARES SUBJECT TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

 

Neither the Participant (individually or as a member of a group) nor any beneficiary or other person claiming under or through the Participant shall have any right, title, interest, or privilege in or to any shares of Common Stock allocated or reserved for the purpose of the Plan or subject to the Grant Notice or these Standard Terms and Conditions except as to such shares of Common Stock, if any, as shall have been issued to such person in connection with the Award. Nothing in the Plan, in the Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions or any other instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Company’s employ or service nor limit in any way the Company’s right to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time for any reason.

 

9.NO LIABILITY OF COMPANY

 

The Company and any Affiliate which is in existence or hereafter comes into existence shall not be liable to the Participant or any other person as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder; and (b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by the Participant or other person due to the receipt or settlement of the Award.

 

10.GENERAL

 

(a) In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or these Standard Terms and Conditions is declared to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, or otherwise deleted, and the remainder of the Grant Notice and these Standard Terms and Conditions shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.

Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, and where appropriate, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

In the event of any conflict between the Grant Notice and these Standard Terms and Conditions, the Grant Notice shall control.

 

(f) All questions arising under the Plan, the Grant Notice or under these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be decided by the Committee in its total and absolute discretion.

 

11.ELECTRONIC DELIVERY
