Shareholders of Agrico and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement, and amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement in connection with Agrico’s solicitation of proxies for the special meetings to be held to approve the Business Combination because these documents will contain important information about Agrico, Kalera, Pubco and the Business Combination. Agrico shareholders and other interested persons will also be able to obtain copies of the Registration Statement and the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge, once available, on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to Agrico by contacting its Chief Executive Officer, Brent de Jong, c/o Agrico Acquisition Corp., Boundary Hall, Cricket Square, Grand Cayman KY1-1102, Cayman Islands at +1 (346) 800-5508.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

Agrico, Pubco and Kalera and certain of their respective directors, executive officers, other members of management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders of Agrico in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. Shareholders of Agrico and other interested persons may obtain more information regarding the names and interests in the proposed transaction of Agrico’s directors and officers in Agrico’s filings with the SEC, as modified or supplemented by any Form 3 or Form 4 filed with the SEC since the date of such filing. Additional information regarding the interests of such potential participants will also be included in the Registration Statement and other relevant documents when they are filed with the SEC. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements made herein or incorporated by reference contain, and certain oral statements made by representatives of Agrico, Pubco and Kalera and their respective affiliates, from time to time may contain, “forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Agrico’s, Pubco’s and Kalera’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “might” and “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Agrico’s, Pubco’s and Kalera’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the control of Agrico, Pubco or Kalera and are difficult to predict.

 

Factors that may cause such differences include but are not limited to: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below); the inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Agrico or the shareholders of Kalera or other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement; the inability to obtain or maintain (as applicable) the listing of Pubco’s or Agrico’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq following the Business Combination, changes adversely affecting the vertical farming industry and the development of existing or new technologies; the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on Kalera’s business; the ability of Agrico, Kalera and/or Pubco to obtain financing to address their respective liquidity, operating or capital expenditure needs or other financing objectives on favorable terms, if at all; the potential restrictive terms, dilutive impact or other material adverse effects of the terms of any financing arrangements entered into by Agrico, Kalera and/or Pubco; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Agrico, Kalera or Pubco following the announcement of the proposed Business Combination and transactions contemplated thereby; the ability of the parties to recognize the benefits of the Business Combination; lack of useful financial information for an accurate estimate of future capital expenditures; possibility of continuing to incur losses for the foreseeable future; potential delay in the completion of new facilities; the competitiveness of the agriculture industry; the difficulty of controlling customer perception of Kalera’s brand; the limits that are imposed on Kalera by the amount of facilities in operation at a given time; distribution agreements with third parties; consolidation of customers or suppliers; consumer preferences and spending habits; the volatility of energy costs; changes in applicable laws or regulations, including environmental and export control laws; the ability to retain key employees; Kalera’s business strategy and plans; Kalera’s ability to target and retain customers and suppliers; the failure to build Pubco’s finance infrastructure and improve its accounting systems and controls; whether and when Kalera might pay dividends; and the ability of Kalera to source its materials from an ethically- and sustainably-sourced supply chain; and other risks and uncertainties to be identified in the Registration Statement and proxy statement/prospectus (when available) relating to the Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings with the SEC made by Agrico or Pubco. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither Agrico, Pubco nor Kalera undertakes or accepts any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, subject to applicable law.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material definitive Agreement.

 

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

 

On January 30, 2022, Agrico Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Agrico”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with (i) Figgreen Limited, a private limited company incorporated in Ireland with registered number 606356 (“Pubco”), (ii) Kalera Cayman Merger Sub, a Caymans Islands exempted company (“Cayman Merger Sub”), (iii) Kalera Luxembourg Merger Sub SARL, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Lux Merger Sub” and, together with Cayman Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”) and (iv) Kalera AS, a Norwegian private limited liability company (the “Kalera”).

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) a merger will occur, pursuant to which Cayman Merger Sub will merge with and into Agrico, with Agrico continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “First Merger”) and Agrico will issue ordinary shares (the “Agrico Ordinary Shares”) to Pubco (the “Agrico Share Issuance”) and the holders of Agrico Ordinary Shares will receive shares in the capital of Pubco and holders of warrants of Agrico (the “Agrico Warrants”) will have their Agrico Warrants assumed by Pubco and adjusted to become exercisable for shares in the capital of Pubco, in each case as consideration for the First Merger and the Agrico Share Issuance, (ii) at least one (1) business day following the First Merger and subject thereto, the second merger will occur, pursuant to which Lux Merger Sub will merge with and into Kalera with Kalera as the surviving entity of the second merger (the “Second Merger”) and in this context Kalera will issue shares to Pubco (the “Kalera Share Issuance”), and (iii) immediately following the Second Merger and the Kalera Capital Reduction (as defined below), the shareholders of Kalera (the “Kalera Shareholders”) (except Pubco) will receive shares in the capital of Pubco and the holders of Kalera’s outstanding options (the “Kalera Options”) will receive options in the capital of Pubco, in each case as consideration for the ordinary shares of Kalera (the “Kalera Shares”) and the Kalera Options being cancelled and ceasing to exist or being assumed (as applicable) upon completion of the Second Merger by way of a capital reduction pursuant to the Luxembourg Companies Act (the “Kalera Capital Reduction”). As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Kalera will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco.

 

2

 

 

Upon consummation of the First Merger, (i) each Class A ordinary share (the “Agrico Class A Ordinary Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Merger Effective Time”) will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one ordinary share of Pubco (the “Pubco Ordinary Shares”), (ii) each Class B ordinary share (the “Agrico Class B Ordinary Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share, and (iii) each outstanding public Agrico Warrant (the “Agrico Public Warrants”) and private Agrico Warrants will remain outstanding and will automatically be adjusted to become a Pubco Warrant.

 

Upon consummation of the Second Merger, each Kalera Share outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and cease to exist in the context of the Kalera Capital Reduction against the issuance of (i) the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) (the aggregate number of Pubco Ordinary Shares so issued, the “Exchange Shares”) and (ii) one CVR per Kalera Share. “Exchange Ratio” means 0.091. The number of Exchange Shares will be determined prior to the Second Merger Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and will cause, assuming no public shareholders of Agrico exercise their redemption rights, Kalera Shareholders to own approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares.

 

Consideration

 

The First Merger: Consideration to Agrico Security holders

 

The first transaction that comprises the Business Combination is the First Merger, pursuant to which Cayman Merger Sub will merge with and into Agrico, with Agrico surviving and being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco.

 

Upon consummation of the First Merger, (i) each Agrico Class A Ordinary Share outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share (ii) each Agrico Class B Ordinary Share outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled in exchange for and converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share, and (iii) each outstanding Agrico Public Warrant and Agrico Private Warrant will remain outstanding and will automatically be adjusted to become a Pubco Warrant, respectively. As a result of the First Merger and the conversion or automatic adjustment (as applicable) of Agrico securities into securities of Pubco, the rights of Agrico security holders will change in material ways.

 

The Second Merger: Consideration to Kalera Security holders

 

At least one (1) business day following the First Merger and subject thereto, Pubco, Kalera and Lux Merger Sub will cause the Second Merger to be consummated, pursuant to which Lux Merger Sub will merge with and into Kalera with Kalera as the surviving entity of the Second Merger and in this context Kalera will issue shares to Pubco. Immediately following and in connection with the Second Merger, the Kalera Shareholders (except Pubco) will receive shares in the capital of Pubco and contractual contingent value rights (each a “CVR”), which represent the right to receive up to two contingent payments of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and the holders of the Kalera Options will receive options in the capital of Pubco and, in the case of holders of In-the-Money Options, CVRs, in each case as consideration for the Kalera Shares and the Kalera Options being cancelled and ceasing to exist or being assumed (as applicable) upon completion of the Second Merger by way of the Kalera Capital Reduction. Each CVR represents a contingent right to receive additional Pubco Ordinary Shares, issuable upon the achievement of certain milestones, including: (i) Pubco Ordinary Shares trading at or over a market price of $12.50; and (ii) Pubco Ordinary Shares trading at or over a market price of $15.00, in each case, for 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period, based on volume-weighted average trading prices. The amount of shares issuable to each CVR holder for the achievement of each milestone is, in each case, a pro rata portion of an amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares equivalent to 5% of the amount of Kalera Shares outstanding as of immediately following the Kalera Capital Reduction on a fully-diluted basis.

 

Upon consummation of the Second Merger, each Kalera Share outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and cease to exist in the context of the Kalera Capital Reduction against the issuance of (i) the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio and (ii) one CVR per Kalera Share.

 

Closing of the Business Combination

 

The consummation of the First Merger and related transactions (the “First Closing”) will take place on the fifth business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, unless Agrico and Kalera agree in writing to another date or time. The consummation of the Business Combination (other than those transactions which occur on the First Closing) (the “Second Closing” and together with the First Closing, the “Closings” and each, a “Closing”) will take place on the first business day after the First Closing, unless Agrico and Kalera agree in writing to another date or time.

If Kalera receives a written Kalera Alternative Proposal from any person after the date of the Business Combination Agreement that did not result from a material breach of the non-solicitation covenant therein and prior to the time the Required Kalera Shareholder Approval is obtained, Kalera and its representatives may contact such person to clarify the terms and conditions thereof, and if the Kalera Board or relevant committee thereof determines reasonably and in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor) that such Kalera Alternative Proposal either constitutes a Company Superior Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) or could reasonably be expected to result in a Company Superior Proposal and Kalera provides Agrico with written notice of such determination, then (i) Kalera and its representatives may provide information (including non-public information and data) regarding, and afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records and personnel of, Kalera and its subsidiaries to such person if Kalera receives from such person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement shall be promptly provided to Agrico or, if such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement restricts the ability of Kalera to disclose any information required to be shared with Agrico, Kalera shall be required to inform any Person who makes a Kalera Alternative Proposal that Kalera is required to communicate the terms of such Kalera Alternative Proposal to Agrico); provided that, subject to applicable Law, Kalera shall not later than substantially concurrently therewith make available to Agrico any non-public information concerning Kalera or its subsidiaries that is provided to any person that was not previously made available to Agrico, and (ii) Kalera and its representatives may engage in, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with such person with respect to such Kalera Alternative Proposal. Kalera is required to promptly (and, in any event, within 48 hours of any such event) notify Agrico of the receipt of any Kalera Alternative Proposal or any material amendment thereto, and provide a written summary of the material terms and conditions of each such Kalera Alternative Proposal or any material amendment or proposed material amendment thereto and prompt status updates with respect thereto.

 

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, the Kalera Board shall not (i) (A) amend, change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Agrico, the Company Recommendation (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) with respect to the Business Combination, (B) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Registration Statement, (C) make any public statement inconsistent with the Company Recommendation, (D) approve, adopt, endorse or recommend a Kalera Alternative Proposal or publicly propose to approve, adopt, endorse or recommend a Kalera Alternative Proposal, (E) if a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of capital stock of Kalera that constitutes a Kalera Alternative Proposal is commenced, recommend the acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by Kalera stockholders, or (F) resolve or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the foregoing, a “Kalera Change of Recommendation”) or (ii) authorize, adopt or approve a Kalera Alternative Proposal, or cause or permit Kalera or any of its subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, business combination agreement or any other similar agreement providing for any Kalera Alternative Proposal (a “Kalera Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

 

Notwithstanding Kalera’s covenants summarized immediately above, prior to the time the Required Kalera Shareholder Approval is obtained, if Kalera receives a Kalera Alternative Proposal that the Kalera Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors) constitutes a Company Superior Proposal (taking into account any adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination proposed by Kalera in response to such Kalera Alternative Proposal), Kalera may (1) effect a Kalera Change of Recommendation and authorize, adopt, or approve such Company Superior Proposal, which may include granting a waiver, amendment or release under any Takeover Law with respect to such Company Superior Proposal and/or (2) enter into a Kalera Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Company Superior Proposal. The Kalera Board may not take the actions described in the foregoing clauses (1) or (2) unless (i) Kalera has provided prior written notice to Agrico of the Kalera Board’s intention to take such actions at least five Business Days before taking such action (the “Notice Period”), which notice (A) shall specify, as applicable, a reasonably detailed description of the material terms of the Kalera Alternative Proposal received by Kalera and an express statement by Kalera that such Kalera Alternative Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and (B) include a copy of the most current version of the proposed agreement relating to such Company Superior Proposal (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis to the extent there are material changes thereto) and a description of any financing commitments relating thereto; (ii) after providing such notice and prior to taking such actions, Kalera has negotiated, and has caused its representatives to negotiate, with Agrico in good faith (to the extent Agrico desires to negotiate) during the Notice Period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement as would permit the Kalera Board not to take such actions (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Kalera Alternative Proposal, including any revision in price, the Notice Period shall be extended to ensure that at least 48 hours remains in the Notice Period subsequent to the time Kalera notifies Agrico of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions); and (iii) the Kalera Board has considered in good faith any changes to the Business Combination Agreement that may be offered in writing by Agrico by 11:59 pm eastern time on the last day of the Notice Period (as extended pursuant to the preceding clause (ii)) and has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor, that the Kalera Alternative Proposal received by Kalera would continue to constitute a Company Superior Proposal if such changes offered in writing by Agrico were given effect.

The foregoing covenants will not prohibit Kalera or the Kalera Board from (i) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of Kalera (or any similar communications to the stockholders of Kalera) or (ii) making disclosure that the Kalera Board determines in good faith after consultation with Kalera’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Kalera Board to make disclosure of a position contemplated by Rule 14d-0, Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of the Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act would be inconsistent with the directors’ duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that any disclosure does not contain an express Kalera Change of Recommendation.

 

For purposes of the Business Combination Agreement, “Kalera Alternative Proposal” means any bona fide written proposal or offer made by any person other than Agrico, Pubco and their affiliates for (a) a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving Kalera, (b) the direct or indirect acquisition by any person (including by any asset acquisition, joint venture or similar transaction) of more than 20% of the assets of Kalera and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (c) the direct or indirect acquisition by any person of more than 20% of Kalera’s equity securities or of the voting power of the outstanding Kalera Shares, including any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any person beneficially owning 20%) or more of Kalera’s equity securities or shares with 20% or more of the voting power of the outstanding Kalera Shares, or (d) any combination of the foregoing, in each case of clauses (a) through (c) whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions.
