Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

 

An aggregate of 48,064,157 shares of Common Stock reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2021, by and among the Issuer, Clover III Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and EQRx International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a EQRx, Inc.) (“Legacy EQRx”) (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 EQRx was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy EQRx, with Legacy EQRx 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 December 17, 2021 (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 EQRx common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Legacy EQRx Common Stock”), and each share of the Legacy EQRx preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, that was convertible into a share of Legacy EQRx Common Stock, was canceled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of the Issuer’s 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 0.627 (the “Exchange Ratio”).

 

An aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock reported herein as beneficially owned by AH LSV II, for itself and as nominee for AH LSV II-B and AH LSV II-Q (the “AH LSV II Entities”) were purchased by the AH LSV II Entities concurrent with the Closing pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated August 5, 2021, by and between the Issuer and AH LSV II, for itself and as nominee for AH LSV II-B and AH LSV II-Q (the “Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the AH LSV II Entities purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000.00.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Reporting Persons have the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock of the Issuer if the Issuer satisfies certain performance milestones (the “Earn-Out Shares”), as more fully described in the Business Combination Agreement. The Earn-Out Shares are not included in the Reporting Persons’ respective cover pages to this Schedule 13D because they are not deemed beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1).

 

 

The source of the funds for all purchases and acquisitions by AH Bio II, AH Bio III, AH LSV I and AH LSV II was from working capital.

 

No part of the purchase price was borrowed by AH Bio II, AH Bio III, AH LSV I or AH LSV II 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.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Reporting Persons tendered 76,657,350 shares of Legacy EQRx Common Stock, 30,913,642 shares of Legacy EQRx Series A Preferred Stock and 17,150,515 shares of Legacy EQRx Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for 48,064,157 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate.

 

Subject to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholder Lock-Up Agreement described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D and in certain cases, the Issuer’s Insider Trading Policy, 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.

 

Except as described herein, none of the Reporting Persons have a present plan or proposal that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). However, each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to propose or participate in future transactions which may result in one or more of such actions, including but not limited to, an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, sale of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, or other transactions which might have the effect of causing the Common Stock to become eligible for termination of registration under Section 12(g) of the Act. The Reporting Persons also retain the right to change their investment intent at any time, to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer from time to time, or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Common Stock beneficially owned by them in any manner permitted by applicable law. The Reporting Persons may engage from time to time in ordinary course transactions with financial institutions with respect to the securities described herein.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a)-(b)      The responses of the Reporting Persons with respect to rows 7 through 13 of their respective cover pages to this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.

(c)        Except as described in Items 3 and 4 of this Schedule 13D, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference, none of the Reporting Persons have engaged in any transaction with respect to the Common Stock during the 60 days prior to the date of filing of this Schedule 13D.

 

 

(d)       Under certain circumstances set forth in the limited partnership agreement of each of AH Bio II, AH Bio III, AH LSV I and AH LSV II and the limited liability company agreement of each of AH Equity Bio II, AH Equity Bio III, AH Equity LSV I and AH Equity LSV II, the partners or members, as the case may be, of each of such entities may be deemed to have the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, shares of the Issuer directly or indirectly owned by each such entity of which they are a partner or member.

 

(e)       Not applicable.
