Indirect beneficial ownership: YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA II”) entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with the issuer dated as of November 14, 2023. Under the SEPA, the issuer has the option to sell up to $250 million of its Class A Shares to YA II, and YA II is obligated to purchase such shares, at a price and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SEPA. Under the SEPA, the Issuer is prohibited from issuing and selling shares to YA II to the extent that it would cause the aggregate number of Class A Shares beneficially owned by YA II and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the Class A Shares of the Issuer.
In connection with the SEPA, YA II has agreed to advance to the Issuer in the form of a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Notes”) an aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”). The initial $5.0 million of the Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed to the Issuer on November 15, 2023 with a corresponding $5.0 million Convertible Note issued to YA II, with the remaining $10.0 million to be disbursed upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent set forth in the SEPA. YA II may convert the Convertible Notes into Class A Shares at a conversion price equal to the lower of 120% of VWAP the day prior to the date of the closing of each tranche (the “Fixed Price”) or 95% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion (the “Conversion Price”), which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than 20% of the closing price the trading day immediately prior to the signing of the definitive documents (the “Floor Price”). In no event shall YA II be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of common stock beneficially owned by YA II and its affiliates would exceed 9.99% of the outstanding Class A Shares of the Issuer.
In addition to any direct beneficial ownership set forth above, each reporting person is also deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of 1,589,761 Class A Shares that the reporting persons may acquire under the SEPA or the Convertible Notes within 60 days of the date of this filing.
Below is a description of the relationship among the reporting persons:
YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA II”) is beneficially owned by YA Global Investments II (U.S.), LP (the “YA Feeder”). Yorkville Advisors Global, LP (the “YA Advisor”) is the investment manager to YA II. Yorkville Advisors Global II, LLC (the “YA Advisor GP”) is the general partner to the YA Advisor. YAII GP, LP (the “YA GP”) is the general partner to the YA Feeder. YAII GP II, LLC (the “Yorkville GP”) is the general partner to the YA GP. Mark Angelo makes the investment decisions on behalf of YA II. Accordingly, each of YA II, YA Feeder, the YA Advisor, the YA Advisor GP, the YA GP, the Yorkville GP and Mark Angelo may be deemed affiliates and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own the same number of Class A Shares.
YA II GP, LP is the general partner of SC-Sigma Global Partners, LP (“SC-Sigma”), which is an investor in YA II. YAII GP II, LLC is the general partner of YA II GP, LP. The YA Advisor is the investment manager to SC-Sigma. Accordingly, SC-Sigma, the YA GP, the Yorkville GP, the YA Advisor, and Mark Angelo may be deemed affiliates and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own the same number of shares of Class A Shares.
For purposes of this filing, each of the reporting persons is deemed an affiliate of each other reporting person.
