Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a
45-day
option from the date of the final prospectus related to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 12,750,000 Over-Allotment Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option on March 16, 2021.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or approximately $19.6 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or approximately $34.2 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Deferred Legal Fees
The Company engaged a legal counsel firm for legal advisory services, and the legal counsel agreed to defer certain of their fees until the consummation of the initial Business Combination. As of September 30, 2021, the Company recorded deferred legal fees of approximately $18,000 in connection with such services on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Legal Update
Following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q,
six demand letters have been received from purported shareholders of the Company demanding the issuance of additional disclosures in connection with the Business Combination and alleging that the Company’s definitive proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement”) filed by the Company with the SEC on October 12, 2021, is false and misleading and omits material information and that the board of directors and/or the Company breached their fiduciary duties and/or federal securities laws in connection with those disclosures. In addition to the demand letters, a complaint captioned
Mau v. Reinvent Technology Partners Y
, was filed on August 31, 2021 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, alleging that the Proxy Statement is false and misleading and omits material information, the members of the board of directors breached their fiduciary duties, and the Company aided and abetted those breaches in connection with those disclosures. We believe such allegations to be without merit.
