SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Note 9 — Subsequent Events
The Company (“AONE”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, and after the Domestication (as defined below), “Markforged Holding Corporation,” previously entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 23, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among AONE, Caspian Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of AONE (“Merger Sub”), and MarkForged, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Markforged”).
On July 14, 2021, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “
Domestication Proposal
” beginning on page 138 of the final prospectus and definitive proxy statement, dated June 24, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), AONE filed a notice of deregistration and necessary accompanying documents with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, and a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which AONE was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to “Markforged Holding Corporation” (the “Domestication”).
As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things, (i) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of AONE (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) automatically converted, on a
one-for-one
basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Markforged Holding Corporation (the “New Common Stock”); (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of AONE (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”) automatically converted, on a
one-for-one
basis, into shares of New Common Stock; (iii) each of the then issued and outstanding redeemable warrants of AONE (the “AONE Warrants”) automatically converted, on a
one-for-one
basis, into redeemable warrants to acquire one share of New Common Stock (the “New Warrants”); and (iv) each of the then issued and outstanding units of AONE that had not been previously separated into the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares and underlying AONE Warrants upon the request of the holder thereof were cancelled and entitled the holder thereof to one share of New Common Stock and
one-fourth
of one New Warrant. No fractional New Warrants were issued, and no fractional shares of New Common Stock were issued or will be issuable upon the exercise of New Warrants.
On July 13, 2021, AONE held an extraordinary general meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which the AONE stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Merger (as defined below), including approving the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related agreements described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
On July 14, 2021, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “
BCA Proposal
” beginning on page 98 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Markforged Holding Corporation consummated the merger transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, whereby Merger Sub merged with and into Markforged, with the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceasing and Markforged being the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Markforged Holding Corporation (the “Merger” and, together with the Domestication, the “Transactions”).
Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), Markforged purchased approximately $45.0 million of its securities from certain of its stockholders (the “Employee Transactions”), and each outstanding share of Markforged preferred stock was converted on a
one-for-one
basis into shares of Markforged common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Markforged Common Stock”) (the “Preferred Stock Conversion”). Holders of 6,418,667 Class A Ordinary Shares sold in AONE’s initial public offering properly exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the trust account holding the proceeds from AONE’s initial public offering, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Merger, which was approximately $10.005 per share, or $64,216,731.96 in the aggregate (the “Redemption”). The remaining approximately $150.9 million in AONE’s trust account was released to Markforged Holding Corporation, net of transaction expenses.
At the Effective Time, among other things, each outstanding share of Markforged Common Stock as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (after giving effect to the Employee Transactions and the Preferred Stock Conversion), other than (x) any shares of Markforged Common Stock subject to Markforged Awards (as defined below) and (y) any shares of Markforged capital stock held in treasury by Markforged, which treasury shares were canceled as part of the Merger, was canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Common Stock equal to the product of one share of Markforged Common Stock multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (as defined below). No fractional shares were issued in the Merger, and any fractional shares that a holder of Markforged securities would have otherwise been entitled to in the Merger were eliminated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
At the Effective Time, all options to purchase shares of Markforged Common Stock and all restricted stock units based on shares of Markforged Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger (together, the “Markforged Awards”) were converted into (a) options to purchase shares of New Common Stock (“New Options”), and (b) restricted stock units based on shares of New Common Stock (“New RSUs”), respectively.
 
The “Exchange Ratio,” defined as (i) $1.7 billion minus the aggregate amount paid pursuant to the Employee Transactions (the “Equity Value,” or $1.655 billion), divided by (ii) $10.00, divided by (iii) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Markforged Common Stock, on a fully diluted and
as-converted
basis (including shares subject to outstanding Markforged Awards and shares available for issuance in respect of Markforged Awards not yet granted under Markforged’s existing incentive plan), was approximately 0.9522514.
The holders of Markforged Common Stock and Markforged Awards (whether vested or not) immediately prior to the Effective Time are entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, up to 14,666,667 additional shares of New Common Stock (“Markforged Earnout Shares”) as follows: (i) if the volume-weighted average price of New Common Stock is at least $12.50 for any 20 trading days in a consecutive
30-trading
day period, 8,000,000 Markforged Earnout Shares will be issued, (ii) if the volume-weighted average price of New Common Stock is at least $15.00 for any 20 trading days in a consecutive
30-trading
day period, 6,666,667 Markforged Earnout Shares will be issued and (iii) upon a change of control or a liquidation of Markforged Holding Corporation, all previously unearned Markforged Earnout Shares will be issued. Markforged stockholders will not receive any Markforged Earnout Shares not earned as of July 14, 2026. Any Markforged Earnout Share that would otherwise be distributed to a holder of a Markforged Award that is unvested as of the date of distribution will be distributed in the form of a New RSU, which will vest subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying award. If such Markforged Award holder forfeits the underlying Markforged Award, then such holder’s right to receive the allocable Markforged Earnout Shares will immediately terminate (and such Markforged Earnout Shares would instead be distributed on a pro rata basis to the other eligible former holders of Markforged Common Stock and Markforged Awards).
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, AONE entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), by and among AONE, Markforged,
A-star,
a Cayman Islands limited liability company and AONE’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), and the other holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares (collections, the “Sponsor parties”), which provides, among other things, that 50% of the shares of New Common Stock held by the Sponsor as a result of the conversion of its Class B Ordinary Shares in connection with the Domestication (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) will be subject to the following vesting conditions: (i) 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares (25% of the Sponsor’s total shares) will vest if the volume-weighted average price of New Common Stock is at least $12.50 for any 20 trading days in a consecutive
30-trading
day period and (ii) 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares (25% of the Sponsor’s total shares) will vest if the volume-weighted average price of New Common Stock is at least $15.00 for any 20 trading days in a consecutive
30-trading
day period. Any Sponsor Earnout Shares not vested as of July 14, 2026 will be forfeited.
PIPE Investment
As previously announced, on February 23, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, AONE entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”) pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein, the PIPE Investors collectively subscribed for 21,000,000 shares of New Common Stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price equal to $210,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”). The PIPE Investment was consummated substantially concurrently with the closing of the Transactions.
