Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the Class A Common Stock for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, purchase additional securities of the Issuer either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, depending upon the evaluation by the Reporting Persons of the Issuer’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for such securities, other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general economic conditions, stock market conditions and other factors.

Mr. Ogilvie and Ms. Ogilvie each disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities held by Legacy Trust, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest in such securities.

Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the Closing, the Issuer will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Resale Registration Statement”) to register the resale of certain shares of Class A Common Stock held by the holders party to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Holders”), and the Issuer agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Resale Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the tenth business day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Resale Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. In certain circumstances, the Holders can demand up to three underwritten offerings, and all of the Holders will be entitled to piggyback registration rights. Following the Closing, holders of 5,670,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (including 50,000 shares issuable upon exercise of underwriter warrants and up to 4,120,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of private warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock) are entitled to certain registration rights.

 

 

Lock-Up Agreement

 

Concurrently with the Closing, on February 10, 2023, Legacy Trust entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with the Issuer (the “Lock-Up Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement, Legacy Trust agreed, from the Closing Date until the earlier of (a) six (6) months after the Closing Date or (b) the closing of a sale, merger, liquidation, or exchange offer transaction after the Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions, not to (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, the shares of Class A Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of such shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii).
