Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously disclosed, on March 22, 2021, JAWS Spitfire Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“JAWS Spitfire”), entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”, by and among JAWS Spitfire, Spitfire Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Velo3D, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). A copy of the Business Combination Agreement was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to JAWS Spitfire’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 23, 2021.

Following the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, JAWS Spitfire received four letters (collectively, the “Shareholder Letters”) from purported shareholders of JAWS Spitfire claiming certain allegedly material omissions in its preliminary proxy statement/prospectus first filed on May 13, 2021 (as amended, the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (together, the “Business Combination”).

While JAWS Spitfire believes that the disclosures set forth in the Proxy Statement comply fully with applicable law, in order to moot the plaintiff’s disclosure claims in the Shareholder Letters, to avoid nuisance, cost and distraction, and to preclude any efforts to delay the closing of the Business Combination, JAWS Spitfire has determined to voluntarily supplement the Proxy Statement with the supplemental disclosures set forth below (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, JAWS Spitfire specifically denies all allegations in the Shareholder Letters that any additional disclosure was or is required. JAWS Spitfire believes the Shareholder Letters are without merit.

Supplemental Disclosures to Proxy Statement

The following supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. All page references are to pages in the Proxy Statement, and terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

The following disclosure should be added to the end of the second paragraph on page 101 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Background to the Business Combination”:

None of the confidentiality agreements JAWS Spitfire entered into contained standstill provisions or “don’t-ask-don’t-waive” provisions.

The following supplemental disclosure information should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety:

In the two years prior to the date of the Business Combination Agreement, Credit Suisse and its affiliates have not provided investment banking services to Velo3D for which they have received compensation. Credit Suisse has acted as placement agent for JAWS Spitfire in connection with the Business Combination and will receive a fee for its services, all of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

The following disclosure should be added as new paragraphs after the first full paragraph on page 104 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Background to the Business Combination”:

On May 10, 2021, Mr. Buller and JAWS Spitfire entered into the Lock-Up Agreement in respect of (i) any shares of New Velo Common Stock issued to Mr. Buller pursuant to the Merger or otherwise pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) any Equity Awards exchanged with or issued to Mr. Buller pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and (iii) any shares of New Velo Common Stock issued upon exercise or vesting of any Equity Awards, subject to certain exceptions. See “Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Lock-Up Agreement with Mr. Buller”.

On July 16, 2021, JAWS Spitfire and Velo^3D agreed the New Velo^3D Board will temporarily consist of twelve directors upon the consummation of the Business Combination, but three directors are expected to resign from the New Velo^3D Board following the expiration of a transition period not to last longer than six months following the consummation of the Business Combination, after which time, the size of the New Velo^3D Board will decrease to nine directors.

During July 2021, JAWS Spitfire and Velo^3D also agreed that Carl Bass would serve as Chairman of the New Velo^3D Board.
