Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

 

An aggregate of 98,114,926 shares of Class A Common Stock reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2021, by and among the Issuer, Bear Merger Company I Inc., a Delaware corporation (“First Merger Sub”) and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, Bear Merger Company II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Second Merger Sub”) and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and Dave Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Dave”) (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between the Issuer and Legacy Dave was effected through the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Legacy Dave, with Legacy Dave surviving as the surviving company and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, immediately followed by the merger of Legacy Dave with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving as the surviving company and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger,” and collectively with the other transactions described in the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination closed on January 5, 2022 (the “Closing”).

 

 

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, each share of Legacy Dave Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Legacy Dave Class A Common Stock”) was canceled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of the number of such shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by approximately 1.35438751 (the “Exchange Ratio”).

 

The source of the funds for all purchases and acquisitions by Fund 1 was from working capital.

 

No part of the purchase price was borrowed by Fund 1 for the purpose of acquiring any securities discussed in this Item 3.

 

The information set forth in or incorporated by reference into Items 4, 5 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Reporting Persons tendered 72,442,285 shares of Legacy Dave Class A Common Stock in exchange for 98,114,926 shares of Class A Common Stock in the aggregate.

 

Subject to the Investor Rights Agreement described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, one or more Reporting Persons may from time to time buy or sell additional securities of the Issuer from time to time in open market or private transactions, depending on its evaluation of the Issuer’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Issuer’s securities, other developments concerning the Issuer, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general economic, money market and stock market conditions, and other considerations as such Reporting Person deems relevant.

The Reporting Persons also retain the right to change their investment intent at any time, to acquire additional shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer from time to time, or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by them in any manner permitted by applicable law.

Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Issuer will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock within 30 days after the Closing. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement and subject to certain requirements and customary conditions, including with regard to the number of demand rights that may be exercised, the parties to the agreement may demand at any time or from time to time, that the Issuer file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or on Form S-1 if Form S-3 is not available) to register the securities of the Issuer held by such holders, and the Issuer is separately required at all times to maintain an effective resale registration statement for the benefit of the holders party to the agreement. The Investor Rights Agreement also provides such holders with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions. The Investor Rights Agreement also provides for the securities of the Issuer held by the holders party thereto to be locked-up for a period of time following the Closing, subject to certain exceptions. This summary is qualified by the actual terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
