Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
As previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by LCAP with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2022 (the “May 18 Form 8-K”), LCAP and CF Principal Investments LLC (“CF”), an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., entered into an agreement (the “Confirmation”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “Transaction”). The Confirmation confirms the terms and conditions of the Transaction entered into between CF and LCAP.
Pursuant to the terms of the Confirmation, and as previously disclosed in the May 18 Form 8-K, CF agreed to (a) transfer to MSP for cancellation any warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of LCAP (the “Shares”) received as a result of being the stockholder of record of a Share as of the close of business on the closing date of the Business Combination, pursuant to the previously announced and declared LCAP dividend and (b) waive any redemption right that would require the redemption of the number of Shares owned by CF at the closing of the Business Combination in exchange for a pro rata amount of the funds held in LCAP’s trust account. For additional information on the Confirmation, see the May 18 Form 8-K.
Pursuant to the Transaction, CF purchased 1,129,589 shares of Class A Common Stock prior to the approval of the Business Combination and outside of the redemption process in connection with the Business Combination, for a purchase price of $10.11 per share, reflecting an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11,420,144.79. The purpose of such purchases was to reduce the number of Shares that may have been redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. The purchases pursuant to the Transaction did not have an impact on the likelihood that the Business Combination would be approved.
After giving effect to the redemptions in connection with the stockholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company expects to have 2,312,257 Shares held by non-affiliates and 8,712,257 total Shares outstanding as of the closing of the Business Combination.
