Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported, on August 22, 2021, the registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Pulsar Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and Vieco USA, Inc. (“Vieco USA”), which contemplated, among other things, the domestication of the registrant and continuation of the registrant as a Delaware corporation, the change of the registrant’s name to “Virgin Orbit Holdings, Inc.”, and the merger of Merger Sub with and into Vieco USA, with Vieco USA surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the registrant (collectively, the “Transactions”).
As previously reported, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, if, after the deadline for Acquiror Share Redemptions (as defined in the Merger Agreement) had passed in connection with the Acquiror Shareholders’ Meeting (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the sum of (x) the amount of cash available in (i) the trust account into which substantially all of the proceeds of the registrant’s initial public offering and private placements of its warrants were deposited for the benefit of the registrant, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of the registrant’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), after deducting the amount required to satisfy the registrant’s obligations to its shareholders that exercised their rights to redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares of the registrant pursuant to the registrant’s constitutional documents, transaction expenses of the registrant or its affiliates, and any deferred underwriting commissions being held in the Trust Account (the “Trust Amount”) plus (y) the PIPE Investment Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement), was expected to be less than $200,000,000, then, at or prior to the closing of the Transactions, Virgin Investments Limited, a company limited by shares under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“VIL”), and its affiliates had the right (but not the obligation) to purchase up to $100,000,000 of additional shares of Acquiror Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) at a price per share of $10.00 (the aggregate dollar value of such purchase, the “Additional Equity Amount”).
Pursuant to this right, on December 28, 2021, VIL entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to which VIL agreed to subscribe for 5,820,000 shares of the registrant’s common stock in connection with the closing of the Transactions for an aggregate cash purchase price of $58,200,000. On December 28, 2021, George N. Mattson and Gregory L. Summe, the co-chairmen of the registrant’s board of directors prior to the consummation of the Transactions, also each entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to which each of Mr. Mattson and Mr. Summe agreed to subscribe for 100,000 shares of the registrant’s common stock in connection with the closing of the Transactions for an aggregate cash purchase price of $1,000,000 each (collectively, with VIL’s additional subscription, the “Additional Subscriptions”). The subscription agreements relating to the Additional Subscriptions include registration rights substantially identical to those included in the previously reported subscription agreements entered into on August 22, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement.
1
The Additional Subscriptions were consummated concurrently with the Transactions on December 29, 2021. The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to the Additional Subscriptions were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) but not defined herein, or for which definitions are not otherwise incorporated by reference herein, shall have the meaning given to such terms in the proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by NextGen on December 7, 2021 in the section entitled “Frequently Used Terms” beginning on page 1 thereof, and such definitions are incorporated herein by reference.
