Based on the results of the General Meeting, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the Proxy Statement, the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of March 22, 2021, by and among JAWS Spitfire, Spitfire Merger Sub, Inc. and Velo3D, Inc. (the “Company”), including the Domestication and the Merger (as such terms are defined in the Proxy Statement), are expected to be consummated on September 29, 2021. Following the consummation of the Transactions, the common stock and warrants of New Velo3D (as such term is defined in the Proxy Statement) are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “VLD” and “VLD WS,” respectively, on September 30, 2021.
Item 8.01 Other Events A total of 18,215,868 Class A ordinary shares were presented for redemption in connection with the General Meeting (the “Redemptions”). As a result, there will be approximately $162.8 million remaining in the trust account following redemptions.
The Business Combination Agreement provides that the obligation of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is conditioned on, among other things, a requirement that the aggregate cash proceeds available in JAWS Spitfire’s trust account (after giving effect to the Redemptions) and the aggregate cash proceeds actually received by JAWS Spitfire in respect of the PIPE Financing (as such term is defined in the Proxy Statement), after deducting (a) JAWS Spitfire’s unpaid transaction expenses and (b) JAWS Spitfire’s unpaid liabilities (the resulting amount, the “Available JAWS Spitfire Cash”), is equal to or greater than $350,000,000 (the “Aggregate Transaction Proceeds”). As a result of the Redemptions, there is approximately $295.6 million of Available JAWS Spitfire Cash, which is approximately $54.4 million less than the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds. The Company has agreed to waive the failure to satisfy this Minimum Aggregate Transaction Proceeds condition (the “Waiver”).

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or JAWS Spitfire’s or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. For example, JAWS Spitfire’s expectations regarding the closing of the Business Combination and the commencement of trading of New Velo3D’s securities of the NYSE are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by JAWS Spitfire and its management, and the Company and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against JAWS Spitfire, New Velo3D or others; (3) the inability to satisfy conditions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards at or following the consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of New Velo3D to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that the Company or New Velo3D may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) the Company’s estimates of expenses and profitability; and (12) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the Proxy Statement and JAWS Spitfire’s other filings with the SEC.
Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither JAWS Spitfire nor the Company undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of JAWS Spitfire or the Company, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
