Item 1.02 |
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On
November 10, 2021, Crown PropTech Acquisitions, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Crown”), entered into a Business
Combination Agreement, as amended (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Crown, Crown PropTech Merger
Sub I Corp., a Delaware corporation, Crown PropTech Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Brivo, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (“Brivo”) (the “Business Combination”). The obligation of Brivo to consummate
the Business Combination is subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the aggregate cash proceeds from Crown’s
trust account, together with the proceeds from the sale of the PIPE Notes (as defined below), equaling no less than $75 million (after
deducting any amounts paid to Crown shareholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination) (the
“BCA Minimum Cash Condition”).
In connection with the signing
of the Business Combination Agreement, Crown entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with
certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and, in connection
with the consummation of the Business Combination, purchase convertible notes (the “PIPE Notes”), with an aggregate
principal amount of $75 million, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein. Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements,
each PIPE Investor may, at its election, terminate its Subscription Agreement after July 9, 2022, if the closing of the Business Combination
has not occurred as of such date. In addition, the obligation of the PIPE Investors to consummate the purchase of the PIPE Notes is subject
to certain other closing conditions, including Crown having at closing at least $95 million of unrestricted cash and, to the extent a
revolving credit facility exists at closing, the unrestricted cash together with the undrawn availability under that facility being at
least $115 million (the “SA Minimum Cash Condition” and, together with the BCA Minimum Cash Condition, the “Minimum
Cash Conditions”).
Golub Capital LLC and its affiliates
(such entity, together with its affiliates, “Golub”), a PIPE Investor, subscribed for PIPE Notes with an aggregate
principal amount of $68 million. On July 11, 2022, Crown received a notice of election from Golub, notifying Crown that Golub has elected
to terminate Golub’s Subscription Agreement because the Business Combination was not consummated by July 9, 2022. As a result, Crown
would require additional financing to satisfy the Minimum Cash Conditions. As of the date of this report, Crown has not secured any such
additional financing.
The foregoing description of
the Business Combination Agreement and the Subscription Agreements is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Business Combination Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, copies of which are included as Exhibits 2.1 and 10.2, respectively,
to the current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 16, 2021.
Forward Looking Statements
This report includes “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,”
“forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,”
“seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not
statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and
forecasts of financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity and market share, expectations and timing related to
commercial product launches, potential benefits of the proposed business combination and the potential success of Brivo's go-to-market
strategy, and expectations related to the terms and timing of the proposed business combination. These statements are based on various
assumptions, whether or not identified in this report, and on the current expectations of Brivo’s and Crown’s management and
are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended
to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or
probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events
and circumstances are beyond the control of Brivo and Crown. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to
successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not
obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits
of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the shareholders of Crown or Brivo is not obtained; the lack of third party
valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed business combination; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the
proposed business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Brivo; the risk
that the conditions to the financing for the proposed business combination may not be satisfied or waived; the effect of the announcement
or pendency of the proposed business combination on Brivo’s business relationships, performance and business generally; risks that
the proposed business combination disrupts current plans of Brivo and potential difficulties in Brivo employee retention as a result of
the proposed business combination; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts and other expectations after the completion of the
proposed business combination, and identify and realize additional opportunities; Brivo's ability to attract and retain customers; the
combined company's ability to up-sell and cross-sell to customers, including the success of Brivo’s customers’ development
programs, which will drive future revenues; the ability of the combined company to compete effectively and its ability to manage growth;
the amount of redemption requests made by Crown’s public shareholders; the ability of Crown or the combined company to issue equity
or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future; the outcome of any potential litigation,
government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; the risk that the combined company’s securities will not be
approved for listed on the New York Stock Exchange or if approved, that such listing will be maintained; and those factors discussed in
Crown’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, dated April 12, 2022, and the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus
of Crown related to the proposed business combination dated April 19, 2022 and, when available, Crown’s final proxy statement to
be filed with the SEC, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of Crown filed, or to be filed,
with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results
implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Crown nor Brivo presently know or that Crown and
Brivo currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Crown’s and Brivo’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and
views as of the date of this report. Crown and Brivo anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Crown’s and Brivo’s
assessments to change. However, while Crown and Brivo may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future,
Crown and Brivo specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing
Crown’s and Brivo’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not
be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
