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 9,000,000 Over-Allotment Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option on September 17, 2020.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $13.8 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or approximately $24.2 million in the aggregate was payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee would become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completed a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Legal Update
On April 19, 2021, Cody Reese (“Reese”), a purported shareholder of the Company, filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned Cody Reese v. Reinvent Technology Partners, et al., case number 652603/2021, against the Company and the members of its board of directors (the “Reese Complaint”). The Reese Complaint asserts a breach of fiduciary duty claim against the individual defendants and an aiding and abetting claim against RTP. The Reese Complaint alleges, among other things, that (i) the merger consideration is unfair, and (ii) the registration statement on Form
S-4
filed with the SEC on April 2, 2021 regarding the proposed transaction involving Joby is materially misleading and incomplete and fails to disclose material information. The Reese Complaint seeks, among other things, to enjoin the proposed Business Combination, rescind the transaction or award rescissory damages to the extent it is consummated, and an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses.
