Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 18, 2022 by Better World Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), the Company issued a second amended and restated promissory note (the “Second Amended Note”) in the principal amount of $3,223,720 to the Company’ sponsor, BWA Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”) on May 17, 2022.

 

On August 17, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Second Amended Note in its entirety to increase the principal amount thereunder from $3,223,720 to $3,683,720 (the “Third Amended Note”).

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amended Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The disclosure contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.03.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On August 15, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved a second amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Second Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from August 17, 2022 to February 17, 2023. On August 16, 2022, the Company filed the Second Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Charter Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Second Charter Amendment extending the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from August 17, 2022 to February 17, 2023 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).

 

The final voting results for the Extension Amendment Proposal were as follows:

In connection with the Meeting, stockholders holding 2,818,237 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”).

1.The name of the Corporation is Better World Acquisition Corp. The Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation was filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 5, 2020. An Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 12, 2020 (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”).

4.The text of Section SIXTH (F) is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

 

F. In the event that the Corporation does not consummate a Business Combination by 27 months after the consummation of the IPO (or, if the Office of the Delaware Division of Corporations shall not be open for business (including filing of corporate documents) for a full business day on such date, the next date upon which the Office of the Delaware Division of Corporations shall be open for business for a full business day) (or such later date pursuant to the extension set forth under this paragraph, the “Termination Date”), the Corporation shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the IPO Shares for cash for a redemption price per share equal to the amount then held in the Trust Account, less any interest for any income or other taxes payable, divided by the total number of IPO Shares then outstanding (which redemption will completely extinguish such holders’ rights as stockholders, including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to approval of the Corporation’s then stockholders and subject to the requirements of the DGCL, including the adoption of a resolution by the Board pursuant to Section 275(a) of the DGCL finding the dissolution of the Corporation advisable and the provision of such notices as are required by said Section 275(a) of the DGCL, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above) to the Corporation’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

  Dated as of August 17, 2022
   
Principal Amount: $3,683,720 New York, New York

 

Better World Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of BWA Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), the principal sum of Three Million Six Hundred Eighty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Dollars ($3,683,720), in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below. All payments on this Note shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim, to such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note. This Note is being made in connection with Maker’s ongoing working capital requirements and Maker’s extension of its termination date of August 17, 2022 for up to an additional six (6) months to February 17, 2023 (the “Extension”). This Note amends and restates in its entirety the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note of the Maker (the “Second Amended Note”) dated May 17, 2022 in the principal sum of Three Million Two Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Dollars ($3,223,720), previously issued by the Maker to the Payee but does not constitute a novation or extinguishment of the debt represented by the Second Amended Note.

 

1. Maturity. The principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable by the Maker upon the closing of a Repayment/Conversion Trigger Event, as such term is defined below (the “Maturity Date”). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty upon written notice by the Maker to the Payee.

 

  (a) Each of the following shall constitute a “Repayment/Conversion Trigger Event”:

 

  (i) the closing of a merger, consolidation or other business combination pursuant to which the Maker acquires an entity for its initial business combination (a “DeSPAC Transaction”); or

 

  (ii) subject to the terms below, the liquidation of the Maker on or before February 17, 2023, or such later liquidation date as may be approved by Maker’s stockholders (a “Liquidation”), that occurs while the Note is outstanding or any time thereafter prior to the repayment of the Note.

 

Maker shall provide Payee at least ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice of any Repayment/Conversion Trigger Event, and to the extent applicable, a copy of the material terms and conditions of the DeSPAC Transaction. Except as provided in Section 16 below, under no circumstances whatsoever shall any individual, including, but not limited to, any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder.

 

  (b) Form of Repayment. In the event of a Liquidation, all amounts due under this Note shall be repaid in cash. In the event of a DeSPAC Transaction, the Note may be repaid, at the Payee’s discretion, (i) in cash or (ii) in Conversion Warrants (as defined below), pursuant to Section 16 herein. Absent reasonable prior written notice by Payee to convert into Conversion Warrants pursuant to Section 16 herein, the Note shall become due and payable in cash at the closing of such DeSPAC Transaction.

 

2. Interest. No interest shall accrue or be charged by Payee on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

3. Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys’ fees, then to the payment in full of any late charges, and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

 

 

 

4. Use of Proceeds. On or prior to the date of this Note, the Payee shall remit the full principal amount to the Maker. The Maker hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Payee, that the entire principal amount will be used by the Maker for purposes of (i) making a payment pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated November 12, 2020 by and between Maker and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited liability trust company (“CST”), for the Extension and (ii) Maker’s ongoing working capital requirements.

 

5. Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”):

 

  (a) Failure to Make Required Payments. Failure by Maker to pay any principal amount due (including, but not limited to, by way of the issuance of Conversion Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Note) pursuant to this Note within five (5) business days of the Maturity Date.

 

  (b) Breach of Use of Proceeds. Failure by Maker to comply with the provisions of Section 4 of this Note.

 

  (c) Voluntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The commencement by Maker of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation or other similar law, or the consent by it to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of Maker generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of corporate action by Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

 

  (d) Involuntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having competent jurisdiction in respect of Maker in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days.

 

6. Remedies.

 

  (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) hereof, Payee may, by written notice to Maker, declare this Note to be due immediately and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and all other amounts payable hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the documents evidencing the same to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

  (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 5(c) and 5(d), the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and all other sums payable with regard to this Note, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action on the part of Payee.

 

7. Enforcement Costs. In case any principal of this Note is not paid when due, including (without limitation) by way of the issuance of Conversion Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Note, Maker shall be liable for all costs of enforcement and collection of this Note incurred by the Payee and any other Holders, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

 

8. Waivers. Maker and all endorsers and guarantors of, and sureties for, this Note waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest with regard to the Note, all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Payee under the terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting any property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof or any writ of execution issued hereon, may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.

9. Unconditional Liability. Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee, and consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to Maker or affecting Maker’s liability hereunder. Any failure of the Payee to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right at any time and from time to time thereafter. The Payee may accept late payments, or partial payments, even though marked “payment in full” or containing words of similar import or other conditions, without waiving any of its rights.

16. Conversion.

 

  (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Note to the contrary, upon receiving due notification by Maker of a DeSPAC Transaction, Payee may elect to convert up to a maximum amount of $1.5 million  of the unpaid principal balance under this Note into that number of warrants, each warrant being identical to the private warrants issued in the IPO (the “Conversion Warrants”), the total Conversion Warrants so issued shall be equal to: (x) the portion of the principal amount of this Note being converted pursuant to this Section 16, divided by (y) the conversion price of One Dollar ($1.00), rounded up to the nearest whole number of warrants. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the warrants issued by the Maker to the Payee in a private placement upon consummation of the Maker’s IPO. The Conversion Warrants and their underlying securities, and any other equity security of Maker issued or issuable with respect to the foregoing by way of a share dividend or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, amalgamation, consolidation or reorganization, shall be entitled to the registration rights set forth in Section 17 hereof.

 

(b)Upon any complete or partial conversion of the principal amount of this Note, (i) such principal amount shall be so converted and such converted portion of this Note shall become fully paid and satisfied, (ii) Payee shall surrender and deliver this Note, duly endorsed, to Maker or such other address which Maker shall designate against delivery of the Conversion Warrants , (iii) Maker shall promptly deliver a new duly executed Note to Payee in the principal amount that remains outstanding, if any, after any such conversion and (iv) in exchange for all or any portion of the surrendered Note, and simultaneous with the surrender of the Note, Maker shall, at the direction of Payee, deliver to Payee (or its members or their respective affiliates) (Payee, or such other persons, are known herein as the “Holder” or “Holders”) the Conversion Warrants, which shall bear such legends as are required in the opinion of legal counsel to Maker (or by any other agreement between Maker and Payee) and applicable state and federal securities laws, rules and regulations.

(c)The Holders shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable with respect to any issue or delivery of the Conversion Warrants upon conversion of this Note pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Holders shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holders in connection with any such conversion.

 

17. Registration Rights.

 

  (a) Reference is made to that certain Registration Rights Agreement between the Maker and the parties thereto, dated as of November 12, 2020 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). All capitalized terms used in this Section 17 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Conversion Warrants shall constitute Extension Loan Warrants and Working Capital Warrants under the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

  (b) The Holders of the Conversion Warrants and their underlying securities shall be entitled to one Demand Registration, which shall be subject to the same provisions as set forth in Section 2.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement.
